00:00
Help me. Welcome the Evil Cook.
00:04
So this is where Tacos join the dark side.
00:08
So thank you guys for joining us today.
00:09
And what are your names?
00:10
My name is, my name is Alex Garcia.
00:13
Thank you for coming.
00:14
So how do you guys both meet we met in the Slayer
00:17
Mosh Pit. Were you guys moshing or?
00:20
Oh yeah. And I love how you guys are hardcore.
00:26
You guys are both in there because it gets intense.
00:28
How did you go from the Mosh Pit to creating tacos together
00:32
I always wanted to be a rock star but you know
00:34
like being a rock star doesn't pay the bills.
00:37
So I had to do something for a living and I think
00:41
the tacos and the metal scene is like music goes hand to
00:45
hand and we try to put that energy into the tacos for
00:48
sure. Like it's like some type of chaos.
00:51
But at the end of the day when you taste them,
00:52
like you feel like you're having something that makes sense at the
00:56
end of the day since we couldn't be rosters,
00:58
you know, like we can be like rocks or Taquero.
01:01
Why not? I love that.
01:03
What do we have today?
01:04
Today? We brought our octopus taco and our flan taco.
01:08
We're going to start with the flan one.
01:12
This is our flan taco.
01:14
That's her most famous dessert taco that we have.
01:17
That was the first dessert taco that we introduced to people in
01:22
2019. Yeah. So our tortilla is a hybrid.
01:25
It's a mix of corn and flour.
01:27
So it's in between a crepe and a pancake.
01:30
Yeah, there's two more.
01:31
There's never had it by try plant tacos.
01:43
That's a Sherbert cookie.
01:45
Coconut flakes, some orange peels and some mint.
01:52
OK. Well, Pasa pro the octopus one,
01:57
they're black. Do people sometimes you know,
02:00
they say, oh it's Ricardo Negro.
02:07
What we do? We burn chiles,
02:09
cacao tortilla and it comes in a paste and that's how we
02:13
marinate the octopus. How did the evil cooks come about?
02:17
How did you guys think of that?
02:19
So it came out like a shirt company.
02:21
I was a chef for so many years that I got burnt
02:24
and I wanted to do something else than just be in the
02:27
office doing paperwork. So I start drawing some stuff in my
02:31
free time and I start selling shirts and I call Il cooks
02:34
because of a tattoo that I got.
02:36
And people start asking for catering,
02:40
private events, private dinners.
02:41
So we're like, you know,
02:43
And we end up having the same name.
02:45
Cooks. You keep it like that.
02:47
And that's how we start,
02:48
like, cooking on the streets in A L A.
02:50
That's really cool. Oh,
02:52
I'm excited to try this one.
02:54
Excited and nervous though.
02:56
We'll go in. I hope you like spicy food.
03:05
I think one of the little suction cups as well.
03:07
I'm joking. I know little kids.
03:11
What's the most heavy metal taco?
03:12
You got? We have the,
03:15
the Gene Simmons. That's what we have the chilaquiles.
03:21
That's chilaquiles burrito or really?
03:25
That's a lot of tortilla though.
03:27
I love some tortillas.
03:29
Tortillas will knock you out.
03:32
We have something called a la cino that's cheese octopus.
03:36
Black Pastor. And that's a huge taco for sure.
03:39
That's cool. So say I were to take my Alita to
03:45
I know they're super dark.
03:47
And what would you recommend?
03:50
Like? We have a lot of good stuff for beginners.
03:53
People who's afraid of try something new.
03:56
Something that has the little devil in it.
04:01
We tell them to try the green Chorizo,
04:05
the black pastor like something more familiar to whatever they have or
04:09
carnitas like. And what would the devil's order look like?
04:13
We have the four horsemen like four of our tacos,
04:17
the pastor, the octopus,
04:20
the Aino and the Well,
04:28

04:30
a round of applause and,
04:33

04:35
