imagine having such good cinema photography then using ai slop for a thumbnail.
Hope you guys enjoy this one! Not the traditional low and slow BBQ you are used to, but it's a great story and the food was incredible! Huge shout out to Josue, Michael and Alvaro for having me and making sure I was full everyday we shot. Can't wait to come back again soon!
Are you guys interested in stories that are not specifically BBQ? It's not BBQ season 24/7, so in the offseason, would you guys like to see more types of food? (Burgers, Pizza, Japanese, Michelin Star restaurants, etc.) Let me know in this comment thread!

Hey ICE here they are
Love the work keep it up ant and the cookbook is awesome man!!
Looks amazing. Definitely gotta get out there one day.
Great video but the AI thumbnails gotta go
Tripe is disgusting
Why am I hearing Digimon music at 1:35 😂😂😂
lol the best commercial so far! I think I've driven by Tacos Los Cholos a couple times (since one is close one of the offices I visit for work) but never stopped by. Now I gotta the next time I'm down there. Especially for that tripas. I love tripas but I've been more spots that do it bad than good. so I'll hold you to that when I stop by lol
Awesome family amzing food
Ice please leave these hard worker's alone!
Absolutely loving your work. The video, editing, sound, it just all comes together to make an absolutely enjoyable view. And of course the content of the locations! Keep up the work to you and your crew! 🍻
I know this family. I sell california beef. I worked for Brawley OWMC. I made a run at them. I think it was Josué I was mainly dealing with. I went to Santa Ana to Manolo's market I met pop's they were all super polite professional and kind. I was a regular at their Anaheim location. But they already had Santa Ana and Huntington 3 very busy location's. These Vato's get it. Use good product and charge for it. We will pay for a bomb taco. I have tried everything on the menu at least once. I hope they blow up!❤
great video but you need to go back to lab with that thumbnail. respectfully! you need something that will catch the viewers attention. seeing the thumbnail feels like im about to see a gang land video and they go eat tacos haha
I had been wanting to try this place for about a year and I finally went about two weeks ago. Honestly they’re up there with my top three taco places, and I’ve tried a lot living in LA. I do wish the tortilla was a little bit bigger but they do stack it with meat! The ribeye taco was top notch
Good, solid tacos.
Fun fact: Los Angeles is called Los Angeles because it's Los Angeles.
Last time I checked Anaheim is called Anaheim because it's Anaheim.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great, now I have to stop by tomorrow… so damn good
Hands down these are the best tacos , I’ve had tacos in tj like tacos el franc , Mexicali tacos that have a bunch of salsas and good meat and these are still better
Check out Smoking Ribs in Garden Grove for one of your next videos! Pitmaster learned out in Kansas I want to say. The smoker is inside the restaurant. Brisket and the spicy bbq sauce is my go to 🫡
"Chicano" is a USA think tank invention.
American dream! Hard work pays off! Congrats can’t wait to try them 🎉
Can’t wait definitely gunna take that drive
wtf I felt like I watch a mini clip from Netflix or something keep it up you’re helping the community fam
AMAZING fkn tacos..dude doesn't even know how to pronounce "Chicanos" properly though 😂
Man. This hits home! I visit Anaheim once a year. I’ll be there this next trip out! Proud of you boys!
These are some of the best tacos around. I’m so glad they opened up the Santa Ana location, it’s 5 minutes from my house.
I've been a bunch of times but last time i went the meat was underseasoned.
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦…I know of Tacos Lo Cholos by watching Mexi Papa’s videos, I love the story behind the achievement, so inspiring.
Hands Down The beast Tacos in California much Respect from Anaheim California
Interview setups are looking GOOD!
TACOS LOS CHOLOS is by far the best tacos in Southern California.
