This is 40+ years of constant improvement and attention to detail. We venerate the Jiro's of the world for their dedication, but this guy is literally farm to table, taking care of every part of the process including what his goats eat, butchering, prep, etc. It's great to see a showcase of guys like this.

I've always been so proud being mexican, watching stuff like this just reinforces it. I love my people and the traditions we carry. Amazing food with such respect and care for everything involved.

If Michelin gave stars for street food (in places other than Tokyo) this fella would definitely deserve a couple

Its always refreshing seeing those who put their hearts and soul into everything. His energy and love for what he does in unmatched and had me smiling the entire video. Great bloke.

I love his passion for what he does. I truly wish this man the best in everything he does in life

The people in Arleta, California are so very very lucky to have access to this kind of spectacular food. It looks amazing!

It's so nice to see them using the entire animal. That's how you know someone truly values them as another living being.

the passion, care for his animals, and love for what he does is so so evident. makes me smile

its chefs like Gonzalo that keep me motivated. I am a chef by trade and in my younger days I was inspired by Michelin star chefs. You know, $300-600/person dinners, super fancy blah blah. Nowadays, these are my chefs. Down to earth, not pretentious and a REAL passion for what he is doing/cooking. Raising your own livestock for this is wild and amazing. I am about 2.5/3 hours away from this man. Gonzalo I will see you soon hermano. Te miro chingon, te voy a visitar de Santa Barbara!

I love how he loves his grandparents & he's so dedicated an passionate about his craft. Not to mention, the tacos look great! A great showing from Gonzalo & the Ramirez family!

@7:04 when he speaks about his grandfather I had a moment of seeing him as a little boy looking up starry-eyed at his grandfather's work. It's a small moment but it makes me smile seeing traditions like these carried on by the next generation! A lot of reverence and love for the craft and process in him, i love it. thank you for the video!

I have never seen anyone work as hard as this entire team does in this video. Wow. Impressive.

The respect he shows his animals is admirable

I wanna drink beer and listen to this man talk about his passion all day!! Big respect !!

Passion in this man’s soul And the fact he can share it with his food is what makes it even better

This is one of the best videos I have watched. His passion is also what I see reflected a lot in my family, very methodical work and great heart and love for family.

I am so proud of my family they continue to succeed and do great things in life! Continue doing great things Ramirez Family 👏🏽

So many different cultures have similar pit cooking techniques. All of them are just serving up incredible food. This is as authentic as can be.

Legendary Mexican mentality. Doing things with utmost determination and passion. respect!

The process, the detail, the passion, the tradition...everything about this is simply amazing. Such a beautiful work of culinary art and tradition

I like the way he expresses his knowledge on barbacoa, there is a method to his madness and he's a genius, he didn't need to go to culinary school, it's in the blood line, let's hope his children carry on the tradition and expand.

Attention to detail in every single step. That's dedication and it's all natural to him. What a treasure!

One of the best episodes on this channel. Great translation as well. Respect to this maestro

Mexicanos….mi gente trabajadora. Que orgullo!

The time and care he puts into every single element of his food is admirable, and really shows how perfect he wants it to be for his customers. I love that kind of attitude.

Como me encanta el calor de nuestra cultura. Al ver al señor en lágrimas y recordar a sus antepasados me hace apreciar más su pasión.

Those who work hard and appreciate where they comes from, deserve all the respect and admiration!

We need more honest, hard working guys like this in the world today to help the next generation. To show them that a craft or skill set is worth taking the time to learn and that apprenticeship can be a rewarding and fruitful way to grow up and earn a living.

Respect. Homie shows were he cuts the lamb on himself. Having that empathy aftertaking so many out, respect.

This has been my favorite episode so far. No kitchens, no formality. Just love for cooking and what he does

So much of hard work going into making those Tacos....I am absolutely sure that it is very delicious....my respect for this man who made it possible...love from India 🇮🇳

The attention to detail is real. I think these would be some of the best I've tasted if I get the opportunity. It looks amazing.

This man has a beautiful and generous spirit about him. It feels like serving others is his life mission and he's living his dream!

The love, the enthusiasm, the pride. Many blessings 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

Barbacoa looks appetizing. For meat consumers, this would be their go-to pick. Somehow the whole process is interesting to watch. It takes every strength and effort to get everything prepared properly.

Hate watching this at midnight, got my mouth watering 😂

Wow he’s special just by how he treats and respects his animals and his kids and family even the clients 👍🏼👍🏼may God keep blessing him

I feel so privileged to see this great man doing his thing..!!!! He got that soul

Fascinating to see how much time, effort and love is put into his craft. Great series.

his passion and faith paid off indeed, may he live long and bountiful 🙏🏿

It's kind of sad that the CC doesn't translate "animalito" everytime this gentleman uses it, there is a lot of tenderness in that word.

Talk about love for the craft, decades in and decades out, this guy is absolutely amazing

I love how he's showing us each type of lamb he has.

People like this man are what makes America the great country that it is. Superb people bringing hard work, passion and heritage from their native lands to become part of this great melting pot. We need more people like Mr. Ramirez in this world; the pride, passion and energy he puts into his honorable work are outstanding

Esta es nuestra Jente latina trabajadora y con nuestras raises muy claras, hojala hubiera mas jente como este don. El es onesto y algo que nos tiene marcados es por que siempre le echamos el pilon a todo. Me siento muy orgulloso de nuestra jente trabajadora y humilde.

Bravo from Cyprus whell done may God keep you and family healthy

What amazes me so much is the volume of food produced relative to the wastage. I don't think he wasted an ounce of this lambs throughout the process. The cuts and butchery were extremely basic so he wasn't looking for super clean fillets and segments meaning all the meat was used. And cooking with the offal and blood, that's old school flavour and delicious

Muchísimas felicidades Señor y gracias por contagiarnos con su alegría y las ganas de salir adelante sin importar la situación en la que este encuentre.🙏

As a lover of everything that goes on to this process, I'd love to spend a few days with some barbacoa masters to learn and practice this art.

If you are watching these kinds of videos. You will know who are cooking for themselves and cooking for everybody. And as you can see, this guy is both. He really dedicated his time perfecting his craft for his own satisfaction and to let everybody love his food.

"A Handful of this, a handful of that, and let God take the wheel" basically my life rn 😂

As a fist generation sheep farmer and a absolute lover of good Mexican food…this makes me so happy.

You can see how this gentleman loves his work. He has so much passion and respects the food.

Man just had dinner but somehow watching this video just got me so dang hungry. I want some tacos 🌮 😩

Man I wish I could eat with this man! This reminds me of our New Zealand Hāngī pit cooking. So delicious and brings everyone together.

This is absolutely incredible, I’ve never seen so much dedication love and perfection for the craft ❤

Its very interesting how close Pancita is to Scottish haggis which is also the lungs heart and kidney but with added pearl barly and oats sometimes then cooked in the sheep's stomach. I would be very interested to try this Pancita.

What a humble guy

All the love and passion put into raising the animals, butchering, cooking, and serving is without a doubt the super ingredient into a delicious meal. God bless him, his family, and business.

@7:24 when he shows emotion speaking about his parents and grandfather who taught him, I really felt that!

This looks sooooo good! Hopefully I can try his lamb tacos one day.

The same principle is used in Oman🇴🇲 widely to make a traditional meat meal called "Shewa". Resulting meat is super tasty, but has to be eaten fresh and warm to best enjoy it.

Humble Man and Son.. Erick is one of my loyal customer and the Barbacoa is the best.. blessing to your family Erick.. 🙏

My mom told me they tried to do this in Mexico a few years ago and nobody really knew what they were doing. They dug a whole and put the meat in with a bunch of water and they super sealed the lid. They left no room for the pressure to slowly leak out and then they heard a loud boom and they saw a giant hole in the roof of the gazebo and barbacoa flying everywhere lmao

Real passion and love for food make miracles, Hidalgo’s Barbacoa so far is the Best of Mexico 🇲🇽!

This is a beautiful example of humanity through art and food. These are the things we should protect, not only to ensure future generations can enjoy them but as a monument of what mankind is capable of. Good barbacoa, is just as beautiful as any renaissance painting and should be revered as such.

I like that he can keep these traditions alive and well. MBGA

Eso es todo viejon su abuelo debe estar orgulloso de usted mis respetos para usted y su Bonita familia

Respeto camarada. Que chulada de Trabajo y pasión por lo que ase . Me quito el sombrero

There's a man who's in love with his job and lives every moment of it.. and I love this entire story very wholesome great coverage 👏 ❤

He makes my heart feel joyful 👍🏾🇬🇧💙

I worked in a factory long ago where a Latino woman would sell her homemade food out of her trunk. My Latino/Mexican coworkers would ask me if I knew what was in it? I'd say no and they would all laugh. I to this day still do not know what was in that food. What I do know is that that woman made the BEST DAMN HOMEMADE LATIN/Spanish food EVER! I imagine she probably didn't waste any part of whatever animal she was cooking with either. I hope she's doing okay. That factory shut down a long time ago.

This is the definition of GANAS! Great story!

I've been to this spot and gotta say is one of the best birrias I have tried in my life. The only issue is that sometimes when you want to order in advance, it may already be sold out for a couple of weeks.

Thanks for this great episode eater 👍🏾

he so happy talking about his product, good for him and power to you!

I know where I'm trying to go this weekend.

This is Barbacoa done to perfection. I really want to try some of those tacos.

I love this Guy, He Love and Truly appreciates his parent so much.

Just excellent to see the share dedication to the craft. Old school thinking , old school ways.

This is a true craftsman 👏

What beautiful food. Absolutely perfect!

bruh why he gotta make me cry! Respect to him and respect to his craft! Wish one day I get to try his food!

The level of detail in cooking the lamb is crazy. And it looked so succulent and tasty. Big up everyone there.

That was a great story and those tacos and consume look amazing.

such a hard worker man.....bravo gonzalo !!

Don Gonzalo mis respectos !!!! Que rica barbacoa neta !!!

Such an honest man in the big sense of the word...

What a beautiful, pure of heart man, and it shows in what he does. Thank you for presenting this part of our culture.

Awesome video. Can’t wait to visit the valley in a few weeks and visit this sport. Looks delicious.

What a great man this Gonzalo!

I'm picking up a trailer in Palmdale this weekend. Maybe I can get some tacos while I'm there.

Everything looked amazing. What a good dude he is.

I love this mans respect for everything he cooks with and uses

7:42...this man definitely LOVED his ancestors and what they gave him! SALUTE SIR!

Excelente se nota que ama lo que hace.

Hardworking people, filled with gratitude. It is kinda sad when traditions aren't kept in time, with regards to changes in life etc. Food looks amazing at the end! Also nice, they somewhat wrap the meats with leaves first inside those plastics.

respect for this man. need to check out his spot

I love watching craftsman work.

Love his attitude and positivity what a great all around dude I hope to try his tacos soon
