From colorful street food vendors to authentic Mexican crafts, there's something for everyone to enjoy!

Whats new about this? This has been around for a while now. My first one was in like 2014
have to give this a try 8)
Hi! Can you share your journey of zoning and approval in Detroit for your Tiny House?
what time can we go if we have a reservation for dinner? like for other activities
OMG. Great choice I’ve been gone there since 1974 and I always get the spaghetti because they’re so darn good but that lasagna looks great and chicken looking Maisie. I’ve got to try some I love too far away now and FYI I ordered the pizza the gold ones the pizza was even freaking amazing. Very hungry.
Looks like the portions look larger at Pappy's.. I will have to try both .......
Lovely vlog :)
Pigs
Its not underrated its just LACKING
Glad it wasn't that crowded.
Glad Nico had a great time!!
I heard about that market and I would like to go and visit it. Never been to California. Great video thanks for sharing.
So cute to see Nico with his cousins.
Food! Family! Fun! What a wonderful time.🤗❤️ I'm with the kiddos..not much better than an ice cream at the beach/ seaside.🍦
Grüezi us Graubünda! 🙂
Im moving to Chicago is there a Koreatown?
There are a few Koreatown “pockets” or areas but not like Los Angeles where it’s more concentrated
Niles is very Korean… There’s also an area in West Ridge and Roger’s Part, for example
I’m pretty sure when you’re outside you can leave the masks in your Subaru. Great video though.
🎉
LFG I'm there dude
Yo e estado en ese lugar es fenomenal
What kind of person says hey let’s go buy some camping stuff a Wally’s??? …. I guess they just hope for some dip shit to hit it big on a scratch off
Put a pizza shack there at Wally, some corn on a stick too, smoked fish anyone. It ain't the south.
That place looks so cool! I didnt know it exists?! I want to go there now!
I like your reviews, esp maria's expression as she tries dishes. You tell us (in the description) if these are paid promos or if the food place invited/comped you, tho, right?
We would absolutely clarify if we were invited to try something but for the most part, it’s just us proactively looking for places to try out of curiosity. ❤️
Nico is so happy😄 The Kimbap looks so good. Naperville looks like such a nice place. Nico that's the best way to eat a macaron👍🏼
Sorry your order was messed up, but glad it was still good🌮
It's so nice you got to meet up with your cousin. I'm totally craving fried chicken now😋
Bread never, ever fails. For me, this would be the best way to visit Chinatown or anywhere else - when we'd have it mostly to ourselves. I just love how you always visit the out-of-the-way places. Nico is sooo adorable. Ice cream is a great way to end the day🍦
That's a Yorkshire Pudding!
Nice find! I’ll have to try it. Hi Nico!!!!
Ok, what a fun place! The decor is so cute, tasty food and beverages, and chill enough for Nico to hang out. 🇵🇷😁👍
The roasted pork looked so good. Juicy and tender...mmm...
I Love Chicago Grill Polish Sausage.
maybe u want to move to naperville one day? or not as easy coz of work commute?
It would be a little too far for us. But nice to visit. 🙂
No estaban muy maduros los plátanos?
Well is not really a puertorrican food is more a fusion,but is ok
My wife and I go to the H-Mart there to get the oriental ingredients that I can't get in the south suburbs. We usually grab something to eat in the food court attached to the H-Mart before we shop. Good Korean, Japanese, and Chinese food places at a decent price. I don't recommend the conveyor belt sushi place that's across the parking lot though - too expensive for such poor quality sushi.
We shop at the Super H-Mart in Niles which also has a great food court! I’d rather drive the forty minutes round trip to get fresh kimbap there, than the two minutes to Trader Joe’s for the frozen one!
What a fun little place to eat and recharge! ❤️ And I agree, fresh kimbap > TJs/ Costco. 👍 That old school BK is something else!
Neat! Maybe one day you can head up to Kohler, WI and take one of their porcelain buses out for a test drive.🚽🧻
That airport looks familiar! We just had a connecting flight there - I remember all the flags. Wow $120 round trip, that's amazing! Look at all that amazing food. That's great Nico did so well on the flights👍🏼
Nico ♥️ love you family 🙏♥️
We love you too!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
❤️Naperville
Hey how's the area. ❤️
Not bad. Very family friendly.
@@KimchiAndBeansVideos fabulous are you going to take the baby to pride events. ❤️😉🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Del Taco is a much better bargain than the Bell… I like to wait until their crunchy tacos go on sale or they put the chicken queso quesadilla on the value menu
For Italian beef, next time you should review the combo sandwich at Johnnie's Beef in Elmwood Park.
i like apple fritters too; but they have stopped putting ACTUAL APPLES in them; you are lucky if you get a tiny bit of low quality pie filling mixed in, and that's all anyyone uses. Prove me wrong, because its been 30 years since I saw a real apple fritter, and doubt I will ever see one again. Real food is a thing of the past, people just make processed garbage. The hash needs an upgrade at mitchells, but there is also no good hash made anymore; again, just processed garbage. You want quality food. time travel, or grow it yourself; because they don't sell it to us poor folks anymore. Any oyster sauce has no place on steaks.
