Mexican Grandma Tries Vegan Tamales for the First Time 

Hi Everyone!!! The tamales are from Artesano Tamaleria in Los Angeles. They were bomb!!!!!! Thank you all for the love!!!!!!! My nana and I had a great time!!!! Thank you goodfull!!!

I loved this lady. Those cactus tamales must've been ridiculously good because her face said so. I trust that look.

This is awesome. The fact that her abuela was willing to even try something different and support her granddaughter is just great. 🤗🤗🤗

I loved this one! These reactions are everything! Being Latina and vegan I felt like I was giving up on my food culture because so many family recipes we have include meat but I quickly learned how to substitute things out. Interestingly enough, pre-colonization, a lot of indigenous groups in what is now Mexico (and other parts of Latin America) ate a lot more plant foods so I feel now that I’m rediscovering my original roots the more whole plant food recipes I try to create :).

Tamales and a lot of Latin food is Vegan just substitute a few ingredients and your good to Go. Cant wait to see my Grandma's face when I give her some Vegan Hot Tamales!!!

Her Grandma is so cute. I wanna give her a hug 🥺

This was so sweet! I love that she was honest but also open minded

Awww they both seem so sweet

Chiquita hermosa. I lost my sweet abuelita last year, and watching this video just brought my heart happiness. She loved cooking so much, and like your abuelita, she showed her love through her food. Enjoy her!!

I love your Grandma. She's awesome! Brings back memories... Will you walk us through your recipes? Pleeeease?!

Can you provide the recipes for the approved tamales? lol

She's a good grandma, My Abuela would have slapped me upside the head if I uttered the phrase "Vegan Tamales"

This was so cute to watch idk why

Wow after seeing grandmas reaction I wanna try them! I come from a background with heavy meat eaters as well and have tried to become more plant based. I think it’s definitely doable considering many plants and spices that are deep rooted in all cultures that we don’t often think of incorporating.

Please I loved this and I trust abuelitas taste. I am Ecuadorian and would love to make these vegan tamales

This nana needs her on channel 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love them, plz do more shows with them 😍😍😍

Okay but this is the nicest most warmest and sweetest grandma review ever!!!! ❤️❤️ She’s so appreciative. Love her!!!!!!

I make vegan tamales every year for my birthday and for Christmas! And I have to say I enjoy them more than the non vegan ones! Because when I would eat the meat ones I would get grossed out by the meat most of the time. You just have to add the right amount of seasoning to make your food taste good😊

This entire video was ADORABLE!

My grandma who just passed in October used to get mad at just the word vegan. She would be like “ I’m 89 years old and I have eaten meat every day and I’m fine.” 😂😂😂. Mind you I censored most of what she would say lol. Btw, abuela’s skin is gorgeous

Omg my family is from Sonora too!!! There's not a lot of people from Sonora. Her grandma is so sweet she reminds me of my grandma

they are so cute!!!!! love seeing this sweet family sharing food and love!

I'd love the recipes. I'd like to make them for my dad.

Cactus Tamal sounds amazing, I'm a Vegan Mexican and I've never tried it before!

A beautiful family! Both grand and Nana’s gorgeous!

Me recuerda tanto a mi abuelita Lydian que me hizo llorar. She reminded me so much of my Grandma Lydian that it made me cry.

OMG! I love your grandma! And looking forward to tasting those cactus tamales next time we come over 😋😋😉

So when are they going to drop the recipes?

My grandma loved learning to make things vegetarian for me and my sis. After 50 years of cooking, it was a new challenge, and more importantly she loved us and was excited to make good food we could eat.

This video made me smile. I just love it.

Necesito saber como se hacen esos tamales

Grandma is so beautiful! Love her and her generation of mothers!

She’s the cutest grandma! Sonora has the best carne asada! It’s a must when there!

Right on Granny!! 💐

Abuelita you are so adorable 🥰 I need hugs from you

Omgoodness, i love her! I want her to be my Nana.

Ah! that’s so awesome my nana said she would love to be in a cooking video! And now she is. Thank you for letting her pursue her dream :)

Omg abuela is the cutest !!

I'm learning Spanish with these subtitles. Please produce more of these 😂🙏

Ooh I gotta try some cactus tamales if it got an abuela's approval

I am here don't understand what she's saying but her facial expressions tells it all 😳😳 can I have those recipes please thank you awaiting

I love making vegan Central American foods, everything is so easy to substitute. 😁

But where were they from? Did the granddaughter make them??? If so, wow. If not, would be nice to shout the place out.

I never comment but I had to because this abuelita is a gem!

Protect abuela at all costs

Hey if y'all are going to show food tell me how to make it or where to buy it!

But…are you going to give us recipes or tell us where to buy these tamales? This is not fair!

Cactus Tamales ?! Oh you gotta make a video explaining how Goodful ! 🌵🦅🌤

Looking forward for her to make those veggie tacos and burritos 😄

Esas es mi tía Cuata!

We always make a separate batch “vegan” we get creative and they are always delicious of course we have to have one beef,chicken, vegetarian and one vegan.

I would love to have the recipes!!

Vegan tamales.....had always been a thing in mexico... Tamales de chipil, de elote, de ejotes, de frijol, de romeritos, de rajas, corundas de verduras, de champinones, I can be writing all day long.

Commenting for more Vegan Mexican food videos! ♥

This is so cute pero like you know she was saying those nice things bc she was in camera jajaja I know my Mamita would 😂

I really wanna try cactus. I keep seeing it everywhere.

I make my tamales with nopales and jalapeños.

Preciosas las dos!!

Are there recipes for these?

Brooo give us the recipie to those tamales 😍😍😍

This is nothing new, I had vegan tamales growing up in Veracruz in indigenous towns, its a very common thing because tamales can be filled with anything you want, they are just like tacos. I also had bean tamales in Oaxaca and they were very good. The issue is that Mexico being a big country with a big gastronomy, Mexicans from different areas eat different things, so Mexicans from other areas think their way of eating a certain dish is the only and correct way lol I had mole with plantain but if I tell a Mexican from another region they will be weird out by that. This issue expands over to the USA as well and why Mexican Americans grow up ignorant about Mexican cuisine and think how their family cooks their dishes is the only way, or how there is no way Mexicans can eat flour tortilla because thats a "gringo" thing despite flour tortilla originating in Sonora and being a big staple in Northern Mexican cuisine. With that being said, if you are Mexican American, try traveling to different regions of Mexico, you will be amazed with the food diversity that we have, its like being in different countries. Also Mexico has more than 500 tamales varieties, theres a tamal festival in Mexico which I wish they would do that in the USA, you guys would be amazed with what are stuffed in those tamales, and a lot of those are super indigenous that our ancestors have been eating over thousands of years.

Huh, I never liked regular tamales but now I'm curious to try cactus.

Can you please share the cactus recipe?

Yummmmm I want

My reaction: you can eat cactus?!!??!??!?

So cute 🥰

I like this type of video but please pay attention to the audio, it looks life you don't put efforts while editing.

I really like that this channel isn't overly pushy about trying vegan dishes. I just don't know how to go about getting all the ingredients. I'd love to see some vegetarian recipes too!

I have a serious question How is the meat in tamales 🫔 a part of mexican culture if before the spanish these animals such as pigs, cows and chickens never existed in mexico Make it make sense please

I wonder what she said in the car

Why she eating off grandmas plate when she got her own
