I love how they articulately described the food with such gentleness, sincerity, and respect.

I love how honest the dad in the white shirt is.
As a Filipino I share some of his sentiments like the one about lemon and how kare kare is pretty bland without bagoong

My Mexican grandmother made Filipino food. Filipinos worked in the fields with her in Madera California. I had Filipino friends that made Mexican food. That’s when I realized Filipinos are the Mexicans of Asia.

The Tito in the white guayabera was my favorite. Honest and direct, but not rude. He's probably a teacher, while the other two seem like coaches because they sound encouraging.

[rsvlyinsen]

kudos to those three. They've described everything they tasted with love and respect

[dodongdan]

Them dudes sounds like filipino dads.. so freakin hard to impress but polite

I’m Mexican and I’m so happy seeing these Mexican dads try Filipino food! It’s bomb 🤤 Now that I’m pregnant I lost all spicy tolerance😢 Even to bell peppers! :c Fiancé is Filipino and only thing that sits well with my stomach and baby is Filipino food 😊

As a Filipino living in a large province, we seldom get truly authentic Mexican food here, save for a couple or so restaurants run by Mexican expats married to Filipinas. I flippin' LOVE Mexican food and seeing these gentlemen enjoy our cuisine, made me emotional. Our cuisine highlights the different melting pots of cultures that have come to our shores. Asian/Chinese, Western/Spanish influences traditionally dominate our food culture. As some would jokingly say, we Filipinos ARE the Mexicans of Asia. Hahaha~ <3

That sisig needs to come out on a sizzling plate. Man these Mexican dads would love the fusion Mexican-Filipino restaurants we have in the Philippines. Kare-kare burritos, sisig tacos, sisig burritos, adobo nachos, kaldereta birria. They should know we like to put toppings of crushed chicharron on pancit palabok, or batchoy noodle soup. The best panciterias also have pancit con lechon, which is pancit with lechon kawali on top. We also have chicken skin chicharon at night markets and just all other kinds of chicharon like chicharon bulaklak (ruffle fat), chicharon bituka (chicken esophagus), etc. Sad that US Filipino restaurants don't offer those.

As a Filipino, I was already smiling and waiting for their reaction when they paired the Kare Kare with bagoong

[jnicasio]

lol I love that tio said he doesn’t drink but he’d have a tecate with sisig. Sisig is what we call “pulutan” or “drinking food.”

[cottoncandy]

I love these dads, they described the taste with all their heart not just the eyes.

[MangaStar]

As a puerto rican-filipino raised in california, i'm so blessed to have the best of both worlds lol

[gwenyfar]

I swear Mexican and Filipinos has the same taste buds. All of my Mexican friends love Filipino foods, because it reminds them of a similar dish back home.

[gtdriver]

Growing up, we had Filipino neighbors. I was totally hooked on chicken adobo and lumpia. Pretty much all Filipino food is great. It's like describing that it's mixing Chinese with Mexican food in how things look and taste. LOL

American Filipino here🖐️. Been to Mexico as many if not more times than I’ve been to the Philippines. Love hearing my Mexican brothers enjoying our cuisine as much as i love enjoying theirs. In my house, if you sit at my table, you are family. Food brings us all together

With Adobo a close second. When I was in the Marines and we were sent to the Philippines my Puerto Rican and Cuban buddies were NEVER seen in the Mess Hall the entire time. They absolutely fell in love with Filipino food. FULL DISCLOSURE: Later I went back and lived for a bit in Cebu and I TOO am in love with Filipino food and make a lot of dishes as part of our regular meal rotation.

Ah FINALLY, a video where people try Filipino food served with WHITE RICE. Should’ve had the sisig with rice too, but overall great! Also bagoong is pronounced like bago-ong. Gotta get the two O-sounds, kinda like pausing for a split second on the O

Growing up in Asian communities there have definitely been times where you feel out if place ..even other Asians do not consider us "Asian" enough. But the Hispanic community has always embraced Filipinos..some of my best friends are of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent. It used to bother me, but I realized we are uniquely connected to Spanish culture..and that is a good thing. Yes, we are the Mexicans of Asia..and we are damn proud of it

[liahgmz]

i live in the philippines and there's a lot of filipino + mexican fusion restaurants here. when vicente and tiberio were talking about wanting to make a taco out of the sisig i got so excited because that's actually one of my favourite fil-mex foods! sisig tacos are the BEST with a cold beer.
