Mexicans and Salvadorans Swap Tamales 

We Mexicans gotta respect others food !!! I'm tired of my raza belittling others

It honestly depends on what part of Mexico you’re in because in Yucatán we use banana leaves waaaay more than corn husks

What you call "grease" on salvi tamales it's actually water, because they're boiled

Why he hating so much 😂😂 all tamales are good !! We all grew up with certain foods that others didn’t, and that’s okay! All cultures are amazing and have dank food 🥰🇸🇻

Mexico also make tamales with the banana leaf.. they always show only the corn ones but personally I like the tamales oaxaqueños better

Growing up in LA sorrounded by so many cultures I can honestly say I love "tamales" mexican, salvadorean, guatemalan, as a latina I am proud to say we make bomb ass food and that's on period!

Mexican tamales are also made with banana leafs as well just depends the region . Personally I prefer the tamales veracruzanos , oaxaqueños

I’m half Mexican & half Salvadoran so I’m used to having both tamales & honestly I love them both.

He came off a little “rude” but the girl was really respectful.

I’m Mexican and I looooove Salvadoran tamales😍 I like how they are soft and have a completely different flavor then anything else I have ever had before.

I love how respectful she was about Mexican food 🙏 The Mexican guy was totally rude, like clam down man 😒

The Salvadorian girl is so nice and respectful but the Mexican guy is a little annoying!

He Hating on the low

I’m Salvadoran and just gonna say I LOVE ALL latin version of tamales, don’t care from what country, they’re all banging. My dream is to have one of each in one sitting!

How about trying Latina mom's arroz con leche?

Come on people we Salvadorans has three types of tamales like the one you showed but also tamales Pisques or green corn tamales with crema.

When you’re half and half so you get both 😁 🇸🇻🇲🇽

The soft masa from El Salvador 😍 so bom

Yeah but the greasy part of the salvi tamale is the best part 😂😂😂🇸🇻

I'm Salvi and married a Costa Rican. Both our tamales have similarities and differences. Pero Like needs more Costa Rican representation though.

Her outlook on life in general gives her the dub. Now I have to try El Salvadorian tamales.

Not trying to sound overly sensitive but that guy is rude. She was respectful with her dislikes if any.

I tasted tamales from El Salvador for the first time this year, they are amazing!! Saludos desde PR

Love the positivity in this video and the embrace of both cultures and their tamales. Being a Salvi-Southern California native I was lucky enough to grow up being exposed to both.

Am from Guatemala and in Guatemala we eat both but in my region i eat tamales like the Salvi one. I tried Mexican tamales and to me, it’s spicy and dense. I love a soft meaty tamal 😋. Personally. i prefer the tamales that comes in the banana leaves.

I enjoy both tamales equally as long as they aren’t being stingy with the relleno del tamal.

The Salvadoran tamales remind me of puerto rican pasteles. Now that’s a holiday food y’all need to try! Where my Puerto Rican’s at?! 👋🏼

Love seeing Kimberly slowing be in more videos 😍 she’s gorgeous and funny

Cubans and Dominicans swap flan

I’m Salvadorian and my family eats both Mexican and Salvi tamales for the holidays and any parties lmao we don’t care they’re both bomb af 😂

Something I've noticed about some mexicans is that they judge the food by the amount of spice (even some of their drinks), but a dish being spicy does not necessarily make it better. A lot of Latin American and Caribbean cultures focus on the flavor of the food, (savory, sweet, light, etc.) not how much the food can make you sweat. We like the spicy (some more than others), but it is not the main focus of most dishes. I've had some dishes where all they are is spicy and hot, and have not been able to enjoy the flavor (cause I just wanted to finish it and be done).

😂😂I'm from both sides 😍🇸🇻🇲🇽 My Blood is Salvadoran and Mexican and Born Belizean 🇧🇿😍😍😍

Being both Mexican and Salvadorian you get the best of both worlds every Christmas and New Years 😂❤️💪🏽🇲🇽🇸🇻

I’m Mexican and I personally take offense how this guy always makes it a competition and usually talks down other cultures traditions.

Oscar looks like a Mexican “Common” (the rapper) 😂

I prefer Guatemalan tamales but Mexican tamales are good too :) I love how they have their own texture,flavor, and ways of preparing it.

I've never seen anything about Nica food? Nacatamales are 🔥 and so is Gallo Pinto and Queso Frito 😋 I'm Mexican with a Nica wife!

salvi tamales look interesting to me bc of the banana instead if corn husk. I need to try one someday lol

I do like the meat, but I'm all about the masa. I guess it's just me. Oh, I'm Native American from Arizona and we make tamales too. Happy holidays.

That girl was cool and I like what she was saying. I wanna see more of her bring her back y’all @perolike

One is not better than the other it’s all about VARIETY, it’s the spice of life! That said my wife makes the best Mexican tamales. Lol

El Salvador 🇸🇻 our tamales are the best but you definitely need the curtido 💕 (spicy pickled cabbage) it’s like eating a pupusa with out curtido 😅 a lot of Salvadorian restaurants get it wrong with the curtido and that’s not cool.

Im Mexican and all I got to say is the dude supporting our side seemed hella disrespectful

This Mexican says, "Can we get more Salvi restaurants please!"

Im Mexican and i can say Salvadorian tamales are #1! 🤤 💕

They should do Latinos from Texas swap food with Latinos from California.

Wow the Salvadorian tamales are similar to the Southeast Asian Filipino🇵🇭 tamales, we also use BANANA LEAVES 🥂

Yesss I love these Salvadorean videos.❤❤❤

We have tamales de elote too with the corn husk in salvador but they are mainly a breakfast dish.

I’m from Acapulco Guerrero Mexico and over there they make with hoja de Plátano too. Not with corn . Also I’m married with a Salvadoran and I love his tamales they are different but they both delicious in their own way💕

Mexican Talamales de Queso con Rajas(pepper slices)...🔥🔥🔥

Eyyy were my salvadoreans at

I love the Salvi masa and the Mexican filling. The perfect combo! Yeah, he was kinda grosero, and she was more polite.

There are different types of Mexican tamales

En México lo hacemos con hoja de plátano también y los hacemos salados o dulce , hacemos sueves o duros.

Ok as a half Salvadoran/Guatemalan, this makes me so happy. ✨ I grew up mostly with Mexican culture but I have ate some Salvadoran food. I love all cultures but personally nothing beats Mexican food 😍

I like how the ball headed dude mixes Spanish like he is proud of speaking Spanish

Don't forget that Brazil also has it's tamale which is called the pamonha!

Mexican tamales are very diverse including corundas, zacahuil, tamales de hoja de milpa, uchepos/colados, nejos, de muertos. There are many different types of leaves used to wrap them besides corn and banana. There are estimated to be between 500 and 5000 types.

Salvadoran Tamales are not greasy, they’re cooked in water... so it’s water bro.

My mom is Mexican and my dad is Salvadoran 🇲🇽🇸🇻

Why do they never show all the different types of mexican tamales??? We have masa ones with different types of meats; chicken, beef, pork, rajas, even mole.... We have elotes ones We have the one with that green leaf (banaba leaf wasn't it?), known as oxaqueños We have sweet ones, I even had one with cajeta... Like, every single year they do the same comparison without giving out this basic ass info, and just smack talk them...

I had a Nicaruaguan tamale wrapped in a banana leaf today for lunch. It was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten in my entire life! I really wanted another one but didn't want to appear greedy. 😉

I’m Cuban they both fire 🔥

The beauty about Mexico 🇲🇽 is our diversity of tamales. Almost every region and state has a different type of tamale, some with corn husk and some with banana leaf with different fillings, Mexican Tamales are the best 🤧🤤😋

I loveeee salvadoran tamales 🤤🤤 my mom makes them with masa arepa omg and I stuff mine with Chicken, potatoes, Chickpeas and extra olives 🤗😋🤤🤤 Like to have them for breakfast with a piece of quesadilla salvadoreña 🥧 and my coffee ☕️ omg 😫

Being Guerrerense, we also like tamales with banana leaf. Tamales Nejos con frijol, we out here! ✊🏽

Respect for the girl

Dominican and whosoever Swap Cake, We got this 😁😁

ill always love my salvi tamales especially tamales pisques, ill eat mexican tamales when i want something different

Salvi here and while I love our food but when it comes to tamales I prefer Mexican ones. I feel like Salvadorian Tamales have way too many things in it and most of the time the masa is too soft.

I’m Salvadoran mixed with Mexican but in my opinion Salvadoran tamales are bomb asf 🥵🤤

Yasss El salvador ... btw kim ur so pretty !!

Try Nicaraguan nacatamales! Sooooooo fire ! 🇳🇮 🇳🇮🇳🇮

Im half Mexican half Salvadoran and I gotta give it to the Mexican tamales. They just taste so much better. I didn’t like Salvadoran tamales for the longest time until recently, when someone different made them and they tasted good, but they still don’t trump Mexican tamales IMO.

I’m Romanian and Salvadoran and I have never tried a Mexico tamale recently a lady at my in front of my school is selling them and I might ask my mom to buy me one 👀 when winter break done

You should do pasteles puertorriqueños 🇵🇷🇵🇷

I freaking LOVE this channel!

Can you guys show food from Oaxaca, Yucatan 🔥🔥

Nunca, nunca pero nunca, vas a poder callarle la boca a un Mexicano sobre su comida, no importa de qué parte de Latinoamerica seas, ellos no van a bajar del pedestal lo que se han atragantado desde pequeños; decirle a un Mexicano que su comida tiene competencia es como insultar a sus madres, a sus abuelas y a sus bisabuelas de forma colectiva. Simplemente no vale la pena, cada país de Latinoamérica tiene una tradición culinaria especial y rica pero lo de México fue lo que logró impactar más a la masa extranjera y está bien, Al contrario, me emociona saber que ese cariño y orgullo sea enardecido aún más cuando recibe un reconocimiento mundial porque siendo Latinoamericanos, entre tanta miseria, tenemos un corazón hermano, uno que debe sentir alegría por el éxito del otro y dolor por la miseria de aquellos que la sufren. Ojalá y algún día tengamos la capacidad, no de ser una nación unificada bajo una bandera, sino de ser una verdadera hermandad enfocada en progreso. Solo nos falta dar de baja los lastres que siempre nos joden corrupción y poca disciplina, con esos dos abajo el resto sería un paseo por el parque.

If your grandma would say something like that, she is hella rude. My grandmother appreciated both types since she understands the cultural significance. Also, our family is mixed, Mexican and Guatemalan. Guatemalan and Salvi tamales are extremely similar if not the same. My preference lies in my mood. Sometimes I feel like eating a Mexican tamale, some times I prefer a Central American tamale. The tamales for deaths is the same for Guatemalans, I think; because, when my grandmother passed away, hijole, we had tamales for daayyyyssss. We even had to freeze some because we would've never finished them.

I’m African American....an I can’t stop watching these videos lol!! When the Mothers tried each other’s Tamales I was DIEIN LAUGHIN😂🤣😂🤣‼️

I prefer the Mexican tamales because there's more variety and I can eat those with different kind of salsa and sour cream ❤️❤️❤️

🙌🏽Love when the people in the videos appreciate the other dish instead of constantly talking about how theirs is the best.

Bro my dad is Mexican and my mom is Salvadorian but tbh I like Mexican tamales more (;

Mexican from Veracruz here we also make tamales with banana leaf and they’re honestly better than whatever tf they got going on up north

Oscar is a terrible food taster/critc.

Seeing the title gives me memories of when my family would argue if Mexican or guatemalan tamales were the best.😂 (I'm Mexican🇲🇽 and Guatemalan🇬🇹)

If my Guatemalans are watching this you know that these foos haven’t tried our fire 🇬🇹😊

"I like Chile" I can tell

I like tamales boiled , some Mexican tamales can be dry

I’m Guatemalan and Mexican and I would love to see the 2 types of tamales I grew up with, through someone else’s eyes🙃 also that Salvador tamale looks a Guatemalan tamale🤤

Kimberly tho😍

The tamales are a creation of the Native American Indians of America. Throughout the American continent the tamales have similarities, while at the same time differences. The Mayan people of Guatemala, created, many different kinds of tamales. The Navajos, and Apaches’, also have their own kinds. The Peruvians, also have a number of different delicious varieties. Chile too. Some are consumed occasionally, of for a tasty breakfast treat. Others like in Mexico, are eaten often, and especially during special celebrations. And the Salvadorian tamales are moist, not dry, and delightful.

Tienen que hacer lo mismo con tamales cubano 😋

The part of Mexico my dads from uses the banana leave as well.

She's finally like one of the few ones that was really nice to Mexican food I feel like all Latinos like to attack Mexico but she was so sweet

I’m Mexican and I love Salvadoran tamales! 😋

I needs to meet me some salvis or Puerto Rican’s to try the salvi tamales or pastelles.......I think some of my pops fam way down south Mexico 🇲🇽 use the banana leaves tho to

Legit, Salvadoran women are some of the most beautiful women in the world.
