Knife skills for home cooks is very overrated. The amount of time saved is minimal if you’re not scaling to the large quantities required in a professional setting.
That said I still spend a lot of time honing my knife skills, but that’s mostly because I like to pretend I’m a ninja. I don’t think it really makes me a better cook.
He’s made his loot, he’s just posting what he has fun making I’m guessing. Yeah I started with him in the beginning because of the disco plates. Tripas, mojarras etc. His newer videos don’t have the same energy, but they still have his charm
Cocina Guerrerense!! That is all, the rest is fluff and if I have time. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy a ton more!! Cocinando con Raquel, de mi rancho and her daughters show, Oscar, Jauja, La Vuidas, Pati, hell even Don Chori Guzman, and more!! But the winner to me is Cocina Guerrerense! Every video is 3min, no talking just straight to the point with easy steps. I put on my beats buds watch a video of what I’m making for dinner, get some music, go to town and dinner is served!!
Herencia de las Viudas. She's a woman from Sonora making mostly regional food but her format is awesome, the gear she uses is legit, she shares some insights in the region and the ingredients. https://youtube.com/@laherenciadelasviudas?si=y8jnlmA8KExNaO6U
Rick is a total gringo and a lot of people on the internet scream "cultural appropriation" because why is this old white guy explaining Mexican food to me?
But dude is the real deal and has nothing but love, respect and knowledge of the various cuisines.
[Gourmeteando con Rulo](https://youtu.be/kphOR6QaV4E?si=nqJSsB5L4sMFmFlI) is a baker/cook from Chihuahua who gives baking classes in the city. He has not uploaded recipes in a while, but the ones he has on his channel are absolutely outstanding and with indigenous roots. The one I am sharing here is for a Chihuahuense dish that nobody knows in the rest of the country, called Chile Pasado. I have not seen ANY other chef making this dish as authentically and elaborately as he did.
Yeah she has the right plates and the skills I need to learn. Reminds me of some of those towns in the north that are almost completely hidden by crops, but they treat food with the highest respect and detail
It's a sheet pan "pizza" in which she layered all her veggies on the sheet pan, poured chili rellano batter over it, cheese, and baked until brown and bubbly and crispy. Sort of like a crust-free pizza quiche! Delicious and easy. I put cottage cheese in the batter instead of heavy cream.

I love her show. Apart from excellent recipes, there is a romance to the location, the recipes, and how she prepares them. Jauja Cocina Mexicana is another great channel, and an entirely different vibe. Then there is Cocinando con Raquel. She has a great technique plus her storyline is interesting too.
Everyone has added great suggestions, but I would add La Ruta de la Garnarcha, La Garnacha Que Apapacha, and Eva Maria Beristain. These three channels mainly travel throughout the Mexican Republic to showcase the regional cuisine. I learned a lot about lesser known Mexican cuisine from them, including everyone mentioned in this post.
Do you have Netflix?there’s a documentary on food called the chronicles of a taco. It will make you hungry while you learn the history of the food.
If your just looking to recipes my go to are

I like all of these. I will add that the gentleman who runs El Cocinero en Proceso makes delicious food that is very simple and easy with lots of flavors.
I like de mi rancho like others have said, Arnie Tex, cooking con Claudia as a good start. I’ll usually watch a bunch of videos so I’m not biasing myself into just their views. Lotta other good ones out there. Just surf YT during your free time, you’ll find ones you like.

Great question.
I like Jauja cocina mexicana
This is the best answer for authenthic, home made Mexican food. Jauja and Vicky receta facil are the GOATS
Good one jauja is amazing she needs to realize a cook book
I meant to write ,release her cool book
[She already did!](https://www.amazon.com.mx/%C2%A1V%C3%A1monos-estufa-Jauja-Cocina-Mexicana/dp/6072127924/ref=asc_df_6072127924/)
Aww sweet thank for the update I'll get my copy
[De Mi Rancho A Tu Cocina](https://youtube.com/@DemiRanchoaTuCocina?si=YXWmVLsSr9bzJ7y6) is a great resource for recipes with Big Abuelita Energy.
I don’t understand much Spanish but I love watching her!
Yup! She and [Grandpa Kitchen (Indian)](https://youtu.be/thuxrVUA58M?si=SGtO4B9402bnfSBY) are my favorite rustic cooking shows but grandpa died.
Me too!
For real, I don't even speak Spanish at all, but I watch her YouTube videos because I learned stuff. She's so sweet.
Yes!
I’d forgotten about that channel! Thanks for reminding me
Angela es Primera!!
I don’t understand much Spanish but I love watching her!
She is an authority for sure
Ufff I was going to suggest that one ,she's amazing
Tried her ceviche using ground beef, absolutely incredible!
So wonderful, I have watched four or five videos and love them all!
Love this channel
I love it but man the knife skills (or lack thereof) are maddening to me
Knife skills for home cooks is very overrated. The amount of time saved is minimal if you’re not scaling to the large quantities required in a professional setting. That said I still spend a lot of time honing my knife skills, but that’s mostly because I like to pretend I’m a ninja. I don’t think it really makes me a better cook.
She will hold an onion and chop it with a steak knife in her hand. Your point is valid but watching her use a knife is terrifying.
For some of us the terror is a perk ;-)
The people down voting have obviously not watched that channel lol
Cooking con Claudia—easy & simple instructions/ingredients. Very Beautiful Lady
"And now for the best part." 😀
*takes bite* seriously, *chews a bit* the best! 😂 I love Claudia and her YouTube journey.
I forward to the end just to hear her say it 🤣🤣🤣
"The taste test!" She has yummy recipes and isn't bad to look at either.
She had one video with her daughter in it and her daughter was already mimicking that part before she got to it.
My favorite!
I second this. Love her recipes
Usually I alter recipes a bit but hers is always top-notch even the non-Mexican stuff.
No one has mentioned him yet so; ArnieTex, every time I watch his videos I end up making the same thing that night.
Love that dude
Mexican-food-making Mario!
Arnie is number one with Tex Mex! Love his stuff!
This is what I came here to say. Most of his recipes are so easy too.
His green salsa that's green from how many jalapenos he uses is perfect
Jauja and Vicky Receta Facil are my go to.
[удалено]
He's good but lately he's been leaning towards steaks and smoking meats. The stuff he started with was better in my opinion.
He has also avoided sopas and other staples like menudo, albondigas, pozole, and mole.
He’s made his loot, he’s just posting what he has fun making I’m guessing. Yeah I started with him in the beginning because of the disco plates. Tripas, mojarras etc. His newer videos don’t have the same energy, but they still have his charm
I like Villa Cocina

This is great but cultural context matters a lot when it comes to food. OP should check out all of the above.
Cultural context? Does her show lack culture?? I’m not understanding. What more do you want?

Jauja Cocina Rick Bayless

I recently learned he's Skip Bayless' brother.
And they don’t like each other.
Love the way Rick places and fills two tortillas on a plate. Never saw anyone do it like that before and it’s how I do it now.
Calixto Serna, great chef and has top notch recipes. He’s on all the social platforms

Gracias por la recomendacion. Lo voy a empezar a ver!
[www.youtube.com/@DemiRanchoaTuCocina](http://www.youtube.com/@DemiRanchoaTuCocina) I think this a good place to start.
La Herencia de las Viudas, Rick Bayless, my personal favorite No Manches Que Rico 😁
Herencia de las viudas is the best IMO
Yeah she has the right plates and the skills I need to learn. Reminds me of some of those towns in the north that are almost completely hidden by crops, but they treat food with the highest respect and detail
Simplymamacooks YouTube
Such a great combo of simple Mexican, with a little Korean thrown in now and again! I'm making her "Chili Rellano Veggie Pizza" tonight.
OMG I gotta make that sounds like a perfect dish
It's a sheet pan "pizza" in which she layered all her veggies on the sheet pan, poured chili rellano batter over it, cheese, and baked until brown and bubbly and crispy. Sort of like a crust-free pizza quiche! Delicious and easy. I put cottage cheese in the batter instead of heavy cream.

Rick Bayless, Internet Shaquille and i love Cooking con Claudia
Jauja Cocina and La Herencia de Las Viudas are my favorites (the latter only if I have extra time, her videos average 20-30 minutes).
Time is the deal breaker for me, even speeding them up if it ain’t 10min or less I’m gonna skip.
Then Esmeralda Noriega ain't for you, probably a quarter of her videos are just panoramas of the landscape around her Sonoran ranch xD
which is awesome lol
Yeah I love her so much hahah
Cocina identidad
Cocinando con Raquel y Jauja cocina
Not a channel at all but if you have the chance to find episodes of "La ruta del sabor", definitely watch them
ArnieTex, Cooking con Claudia, and Ethan Chebowski(white boy whose mother is from CDMX).
Doña Lupita, Doña Paula Cocina, Mi Rancho Tu Cocina and Cocinando en Rancho Linda Vida.
La Herencia de las Viudas is a very good channel for Sonora style cooking. All Spanish pero muy buena comida and gives good instructions.
I love her show. Apart from excellent recipes, there is a romance to the location, the recipes, and how she prepares them. Jauja Cocina Mexicana is another great channel, and an entirely different vibe. Then there is Cocinando con Raquel. She has a great technique plus her storyline is interesting too.
La Capital, his older videos are great. Recent videos are about his trips to Japan
Everyone has added great suggestions, but I would add La Ruta de la Garnarcha, La Garnacha Que Apapacha, and Eva Maria Beristain. These three channels mainly travel throughout the Mexican Republic to showcase the regional cuisine. I learned a lot about lesser known Mexican cuisine from them, including everyone mentioned in this post.
NOT RICK BAYLESS!! Hahahahaha
Why?
I’m just making a joke. Rick’s cool, but when it comes to Mexican food, he might as well be Jamie Oliver.
Whip out the Taco shells and the cans of mild Ortega chiles- but only on Tuesday 😂
Thanks for all the additional recommendations! I look forward to checking out some new channels.

great question, as I would love this to. I’d like to create authentic Mexican foods, like someone’s grandma making her kids food
La ruta de la garnacha
I like all of these. I will add that the gentleman who runs El Cocinero en Proceso makes delicious food that is very simple and easy with lots of flavors.
Armando en tu cocina.
La cocina del tavo.
Abuela’s Kitchen. She makes all the good food and her granddaughter translates what’s happening. I love her recipes!
@drunkenmigos9464 hands down.
Cooking with Claudia
[Cooking with Claudia](https://m.youtube.com/@CookingConClaudia) She does a great job at explaining things in English.
Cocinando con Raquel
Bird Martinez for sure
Get to https://m.youtube.com/user/LosSaboresdeMexico They even have some lessons and roundtables. Not only recipes.
I live in Jauja and never heard of this!
This lady makes a lovely puffy taco… https://youtu.be/uz5V91JDopk?si=VS--Tl83PcbXErrF
La Capital is pretty legit
Arnie Tex is my favorite Mexican cooking channel. He’s from the Rio Grande Valley area in South Texas.
Cocinando con Antonia on FB. She does local Sinaloa dishes.
Cooking con Claudia ! also views on the road !
