Based in the neighborhood of Boyle Heights in Los Angeles, people come far and wide for the tacos at family-owned Carnitas El Momo, and its beloved owner, El Momo.
The carnitas are made from pork which confit in pork lard and are made up of pork butt, stomach, and skins. These loaded tacos, topped with grilled onions and pickled vegetables, are a labor of love from El Momo, who learned how to butcher and prepare pigs in Mexico from his father before he immigrated to the United States to work as a welder. After sustaining a work injury, El Momo went back to his culinary roots and started making carnitas full time in East LA. Today, with help from son Billy, El Momo’s has won taco contests with dishes like migajas (burnt ends) tacos, and mulitas (similar to a quesadilla). El Momo’s legacy has no end in sight, and the family works hard to provide positivity and refuge for the community it serves.

Immigrant parents like these ones are real super heroes.

balls bag Are you dumb? Yes, ingredients mixed within the cultures but tacos are 100% Mexican. With the simple fact that many of the ingredients that make up a taco didn’t even exist in the old world(Africa,Europe, and Asia) proves it. Corn, tomatoes, avocados, chile peppers all native to the Americas and weren’t found in the Middle East or Europe. Spaniards introduced native American peppers to south Asia in the 1500s. South Asia has black pepper but it’s different to the ones in the Americas. Native Americans(Mexicans) have been making tacos for thousands of years before any european or middle easterner even thought of getting on a boat across the Atlantic.
Tacos in their modern form are a mixed food heritage. Pigs, cows, chickens and cheese were introduced by Europeans, spices from other cultures (cilantro, cumin etc.), but the tomato, avocado and corn tortillas were native. Modern Mexican cuisine is an internationally sinpired cuisine much as is modern Thai (chili peppers etc.) and many others. Ain't no shame in that.
fmlAllthetime You are correct the Americas didn’t have beast of burden back then. But tacos were made for thousands of years before the Spaniards arrived with meats that weren’t from animals from the old world. I agree that modern tacos are a mix of cultures. Another example is Italian food. Spaghetti and pizza would be very different without tomatoes from the Americas.
Yea legal immigrants.
in a mexican household when your father cries because hes proud of you that is the ultimate approval
@Billy Bob idk I'm not of any other culture nor ethnicity I wouldn't know
Así es carnal
I almost cried!! Y si! Me da mucho gusto! Ive always had mi raza encouraging anyone to do better! When he cried that he wants to help people like they have help him.. I almost started crying! He reminds me of every strong man figure ive ever came across.
Facts
@Billy Bob In macho mexican culture a man never cries unless, he had to much tequila and someone done turned up some Chete. So yea BIG deal if your mexi papa crying cause he so proud of you. Meanwhile Mr Johnson crying cause his wife left him.
No annoying intro, no annoying host who doesn't understand, just the people and the food, how it should be.
and no annoying ass music!

this is EXACTLY why I prefer Munchies over anything produced by the food network.
I loved what Lupe Diaz said: "Nobody leaves here hungry." As a woman who was homeless on the streets, she is absolutely correct. A lot of Hispanic restaurants fed me when I was living on the streets. Big props to this family.
Props to you for overcoming that obstacle. Literally inspiring.
If it isn't insensitive,how did you become homeless might I ask?
Feed the homeless no questions asked these people deserve every piece of their success amazing
Matthew Moser I wanted to go for the food that has to be the best looking Mexican food I’ve seen and I know my Mexican food. But after they said that I’m definitely going one day
Matthew Moser send homeless to work so they can pay for there food because there are lazy and drug acti
damian lillard true
They wouldn't have much to give the homeless if I lived near that place.
When the dad cried being so proud of his children. I’m not crying you are 😩😩😭
Yeah that really came out of nowhere
You crying? No I was cutting them onions 😂 😅😭
I cried 😰
I wish my dad could do that for me =(
Now I just wanna make tacos till my dad is THAT motherfucking proud of me... Good people, good food, good show.
10:44 that sums up Mexican people to me. I lived in a neighborhood in Mexico City as a very noticeable foreigner to study Spanish. They all treated me like family and I miss the people there. Viva México, el mejor pais del mundo
These kind of people are the salt of the earth. Without them we would be lost, utterly and completely.
@cody pretty sure he meant the way they act as in humble and caring for there community, Moron.
no exaggeration there
@cody bore off you melt
@yt imagine thinking someone's a moron because of a minor spelling error, you really are a moron lol.
@yt what from that comment made you say triggered 😅
Noticed how the whole time he sounds proud of his dad.
Jovanny Rios yeah?
Yup
Came to watch a taco video, left with a life lesson.❤️

“We’re on a mission “ “Till the wheels fall off” Much respect to MOMO

Momo Jr.
Or hes out of dessert lol
Asi somos los mexicanos hasta que la carreta aguante
✊🏽 RESPECT TO THAT MAN!
They are so pure, humble and true Mexican to the core. My grandmother was old school like that and if you ever cane hungry even if she didn't have much she offer you something. That is what I was thought. I love to see people like this true to thier values... mi gente 😭😍❣️
Yes agree very humble
I'm learning to make tacos and burritos in home, credits to the Mexicans thank you for these delicious foods, greetings from Iraq 🇮🇶🇲🇽

Nothing more powerful than seeing your dad cry, cause he is so proud!
He didn't admit it he said it's a stroke symptom
he wasn't crying bcuz he's proud, he was crying bcuz he feels sorry for himself bcuz he's sick and he don't feel it's right for him to be sick bcuz he help everyone that don't have money, to a free sandwich, meanwhile he's selling pork like crazy and pork is an abomination unto GOD ( Lev 11:7) +( Isaiah 66:17) other than that, he's a nice guy.👍
@@summerwinter2864 🗣️ok Summer's Eve,GOD said everything he made was Good. He told Peter that in the New Testament 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@stephanieduncan9143 😃 no Duncan donuts, the LORD didnt tell peter any thing he eat is good. bcuz if that was true, why did the prophet Isaiah prophesied that when the LORD come back, he's coming with fire and chariots, to consume all of them eating SWINE'S flesh and the abomination of the mouse ( Isaiah 66:15-17) and by the way, Isaiah's prophesies were 100 % everytime, Isaiah was the main prophet that Christ quoted when he was on earth. eating swines flesh / pork is an abomination even until Christ come back. but if you got a scripture that say differently, please come forth with it. and if you're thinking about hiding behind (Acts 10:11-15) you might wanna read (Acts 10:28) first, bcuz that verse explains what Peter's vison was about and Peter's vision wasn't about food, it was about the men he was about to meet up with. so peter wouldn't view those men as common or unclean. bcuz those men were cleansed by the LORD.
@@stephanieduncan9143 its so quiet i hear crickets, do you hear crickets, i hear crickets?? 😃
The best part was we don’t let anyone leave here hungry with or without money 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 humble family
Hospitalidad mexicana at its best
I've been there. To their house. If you're waiting in line, they hook you up with a taco 🤤
Omg, when he cried speaking of the love he has for his children I teared up. This was such a wonderful story of not just a business but of a family and their version of the American dream.
I loved this so much. Momo reminds so much of my dad and the struggle he had coming from Mexico, After losing my dad in January this was very therapeutic. Thank you for sharing your story.

I know right. dad got me all choked up. now i gotta go back to the hood for these tacos. yes, i am mexican but did not grow up in east l.a. so never heard of momos.
After watching this vid, went directly to LA and ate 10 tacos, THE TACOS WERE SOO GOOD I WAS ACTUALLY CRYING!Tacos el Momo are amazing as well as the crew; viva México cabrones y michoacán!!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
They just opened their restaurant down the street from my house. And honestly... this is seriously as good as they say it is. There's really nothing like this that I've tried in my entire life of living in LA. So glad that I can get this anytime I want now
Is the restaurant under the same name as the truck ?
What's the address???
@@okkkkkk950 Yes! Last time I went, I saw the son chopping up the meat. He was working real hard. Looked exhausted to be honest

Word.
Capitalism is bad tho, don't forget that.
I AGREE OBAMA has deported more Mexicans than any other president ever
“If you don’t work, you don’t move forward”. Great mentality from the ol’ boss. Great food, great people. Love the Mexican culture and people. Saludos de Holanda

As a muslim dude that does not eat pork, I have no idea why I am watching this but it looked amazing. Wonderful family as well, I wish them continued success.
Getting to know other cultures is a beautiful thing man even if you agree with it or not it gives you a better understanding of the people we share the world with.
Being Jewish and I can tell you, G-d doesn't care. He put the animals in this Earth for a reason, Salam, SHALOM.
Oh man as a Hispanic I can say all missing out on something good
You can probably get close to this if you ever have a chance to eat Tacos de Suadero (is basically beef cooked in beef fat) same as Carnitas (pork in Pork Fat) confit is the cooking term
@@memguillen2323 he's Muslim dude, respect the fact he dont eat it
Mi gente de Mexico, Im Dominican but always show love to my people, I love Mexican culture!!
I love how his father learned from his father, then taught it to his children, family tradition at its best! Love it!!!
Parents are humble, caring, who taught their children well. This family makes me proud of who I am.
As soon as the father was crying saying how proud he of his family tears instantly
ugly cry fasho
you are soft
I started tearing up after they said nobody leaves hungry money or not and then that part came on and it got dirty.
Joshua Persaud That’s your insecurity talking. Real men don’t give a shit what kids like you think. You’ll get it when you become a man
Watching these in late 2020 I hope all my street food icons are doing well during these hard times...
This is exactly how my grandpa raised my dad and how my dad raised me. Always make more than enough food and anyone is welcomed. I learned early that it’s not a common trait among people to always offer more than necessary even if you can hardly afford. I grew up around many people where you had to watch how much you ate so that there was enough food for everyone and I wasn’t raised with money at all but my dad was always the opposite of that because his dad taught him to be like that. I learned it was rude to offer food if you couldn’t offer it to everyone and have enough for everyone. Next time I’m in SoCal, I will definitely stop by this place.
I never get tired of seeing my people prosper. When they’re winning it Feels like we’re all winning.
U f...ing right!!!!
Decent, hard working people. Brings a tear to my eye
@@DR-hy6zwwe are american people!
I don't see why you have to say my people?? race should never effect ones opinion or the credit they deserve. it makes me happy to see any one loving there work and working hard to get it.
Chris Worthington Race & Cultural Heritage are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. If you knew the difference you wouldn’t have to question the comment. Watch the video again.. it clearly means just as much to them for the same reasons it means to me. I am very proud of where “I come from.” It just so happens they share “my same roots”. You wouldn’t have said anything had this been filmed anywhere else but America. Eat a Taco and go read a book.
Hard working immigrant parents and family members like this deserve the world, always! So humbling! ❤️

When your father cries out of pride of his son....as a mexican....you have reached ultimate accomplishment......BTW these tacos are fire...I've had both carnitas from Michoacan and momos and they truly live up to the cultures standards they would still be full of business back home they are truly good 👍

Facts, this place is out of this world.
as a chicano man in his 40's, I've yet to reach that level.... sigh.

I love how Hispanic families work hard and start their own businesses and make it a family affair. It's even better when the kids appreciate what their parents have done for them. That is truly beautiful. Plant a tree today so your kids can sit in the shade tomorrow.
Absolutely loved this. The Love Billy has for his parents and they love they all have for eachother, the buisness, their culture and people is just simply beautiful. God Bless all of them...

"if they can't pay we give them tacos and a soda". wow! congrats and best of luck to them. Tacos look amazing
Praying corona won’t affect this family’s business to bad
right?! im about to drive by and see if they are open lol
I was thinking the same. I would hope not. There's still a way to keep open, as long as people have masks and maintain distance
highly doubt it, Mexican food is food of the Gods.
It hasn't. They do pick up, they still sell out.. They are also working on a restaurant in NY.
No man, nobody stops the tacos Ahahaha
I cannot wait to try these when I move there in a couple of months. Doin my taco research 😂 Not only because it looks amazing, but because of how beautiful and humble this family is. Viva Mexico! Viva El Momo! ❤️
Don't gentrify it
I can tell by your father's eyes that he did everything for you guys to take over with the respect that you deserve and I have to say that he has succeeded in that because the love and soul you put into that food is just amazing. Please continue and don't stop, like your father said, hard work is the only thing that gets us going. Greetings from Poland :)
They will always be blessed “ if they say they have no money and are hungry we give them a taco an a soda “ ❤️‼️
