From Oaxaca, we flew to Mexico City, and to begin our Mexico City food tour!
We landed at Benito Juárez International Airport and I had arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport to take us first to eat barbacoa - one of the ultimate of all Mexican meat dishes, and then on to go to the Aztec Pyramids of Teotihuacan.
We drove straight to a small town in the mountains called Texcoco. The hills around Texcoco are known for their barbacoa, Mexican style of barbecue. Even when I was in the US, I remember seeing little hole in the wall restaurant serving “Barbacoa estilo Texcoco,” Texcoco style Mexican barbacoa - so it’s famous for this dish.
El Pica I - The restaurant I wanted to try was El Pica I, and even in this small mountain town, the restaurant was absolutely bumping - there was a meat party happening. You could smell the aroma of the lamb as we drove in. You choose a table, and you walk around and self serve your food. There are many Mexican foods to eat, but the real reason you come here is for the lamb barbacoa - the most insane lamb pit bbq! The meat is cooked in underground clay ovens, and when they open an oven it looks like they are opening a mine.
The lamb barbacoa was some of the most tender meat I’ve ever experienced. It was fatty and juicy and ultra flavorful.
Price - 800 MXN ($42.95) for 2 kg.
Teotihuacan - Stuffed full of lamb, we continued on to Teotihuacan, the ancient Aztec city, known for its giant pyramids. Unfortunately since we went on a Sunday, it was absolutely packed, so busy that we couldn’t even hike to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun because we ran out of time. But nevertheless, it was still worth visiting and it’s very impressive to see.
Entrance price - 70 MXN ($3.76)
Highlight of today for me was the insanely irresistible lamb barbacoa in Texcoco, WOW. Thank you for watching this Mexican food tour!

Man Mark just wanna say i really appreciate you and your family you really brighten a dark day my brother! May the love peace happiness and eternal life of our Savior Jesus Christ be with you till were with him much love my Brother! I go back and show people that dont know you some of my favorite videos! Im still looking for yhe one were you swam in a natural pool like in a forest its super pure water i cant remember which one it was ! 😅
I have watched this many many time and I'm still hungry!!!
when he throws his head back and says "OH WOW" is exactly how i feel when i am eating my bowl of Spaghetti"o"s
The people before us must have been taller. I noticed at the coliseum in Rome, the steps were really steep. I had to use a rope to hang onto it because I’m short.
I’ve never had lamb but it looks really good. I notice it in Costco now.
Omg mark my mouth was watering watching you eat that lamb yummmmmy l love lamb thank you for this video 😀
My wife and I went to Barbacoa El Pisa 1 today. Very fun experience and extremely local. The barbacoa is incredible. It was a very family oriented scene. Lots of enjoyment. I highly recommend hiring a driver to get to and from México City because it is an hour away and not a straight shot. Get there by nine a.m. Thanks Mark for introducing this outstanding experience to us.

La.mejor barbacoa en Cdmx y en todos mexico esta a 10 minutos del aeropuerto de cdmx en el.pueblo cuchilla del tesoro en el mercado municipal, solo sábados domingo y lunes.
En texcoco no rifa, por que lo se?
Por que he comido barbacoa en todo México y nadie le llega a esa,
Además esas pirámides no son aztecas son teotihuacanos es otra cultura.
That plastic wrapping meat which is very hot is a dangerous combination. Very carcinogenic.
😋😋😋👍👍👍
Esa barbacao se ve al 💯 quiero ir a 🇲🇽 Mexico mi Pais 🇲🇽 quiero aprender a cosinar una barbacoa asiii
