Pruébalo shows up every once in a while like the cool uncle who travels the world and only shows up to big family events so he can gift everyone with the coolest and most badass gifts before he vanishes for however long it takes to keep up this mysterious aura. and i love it.

I love two things about this series:
1. I learn about new food to crave
2. I get to see Mexico in all its colors, rather than Hollywood brown.

It's so beautiful. It's so bright. I love it.

PLEASE collab with Rick more! He is a GODSEND and breath of fresh air. 🙏

Ricks videos are my favorite in this channel. His passion for Mexican cuisine and seeing Mexico in all its glory is endearing and makes me so eager for my next trip ❤

Rick really fell off my radar after the BA drama and I missed his insight into a cuisine that wasn’t really appreciated in the collective. I’m glad to see him back and see what he gets up to.

A wonderful man showing off and creating even more wonderful dishes. So glad Rick has found a place in the BCU.

I have a very weird love/hate relationship with this show.
Love because everything that Rick shows off genuinly looks amazing and it leaves me with a watering mouth every time.
Hate because none of the ingredients used are available to buy in even the biggest supermarkets here in germany, so if i wanted to replicate any of this, I would have to order a LOT of things online, which would end up insanely expensive.

By watching this I'm essentially just torturing myself seeing great food that I'll never be able to taste.

This might be my favorite series of anything on YouTube. Rick’s insight, humor, and shirt/nail combos are incredible and the food is unlike anything I see on my other channels. Thank you for such wonderful content!

[caardappel]

Rick makes me wanna toss away the trappings of my life to go eat and get my nails done in Mexico!
Great episode, beautiful!

Carlos at El Trompo was so laid back and inviting to Rick it felt nice just to see. Him giving Rick the hat was funny and sweet😄.

I also love seeing the brightness of Mexico wherever Rick goes on his latest visit, makes me miss it.

i am surprised rick found a place/person even more colorful and alive than him. and none of that place/food seemed like a gimmick.

and then the food prepared, seemed to match that level of style. just impressive.

I felt so happy when I saw "chitlins" on the screen...not because I particularly like eating them but just because it took me back to a memory of discovering that they are actually called "chitterlings" in stores when you buy them but I had ever only heard them referred to as "chitlins." They are one of those foods that I had when I was young and I absolutely didn't enjoy but then I had them prepared differently once later in life and it absolutely opened up my mind to the fact that they can taste AMAZING!

[nsanev]

This is legit the first time I’ve ever felt food envy. All of that food just looks so amazing Jesus

[matthewmortensen]

I lived in CDMX for a few years in my early twenties. Rick’s videos take me back every single time. I love it!

[FrugalOverFifty]

I love this series so much 🥰 Thank you Rick and co. for sharing your love of Mexico and her cuisine. Mexico lindo y querido ❤🇲🇽

[johnb]

This is heaven. All of this is what I envision heaven to look, smell, taste and feel like. Salud!

[blahblahblah]

This is one of those things where you skip breakfast, skip lunch, eat it at 3pm, and pass out.

[psaripa]

This food is absolutely INSANE! I now need to visit Mexico just to eat at El Trompo Imperial!! 😅

[alyssaleedy]

More Pruébalo! Yes! I checked the playlist and theres only 8 there, this one is not in it. Love seeing all of this delicious food and Rick is absolutely amazing. I was drooling from start to finish with the showcasing of ingredients, cooking methods, and those amazing finished products! Even the twinkie! Now if only I could get a cheese wrapped deep fried ice cream! 😍

I love the Rick videos in the Babish culinary universe, they’re my favourite ❤️
