How To Tell Latinos Apart I Gabriel Iglesias

Fluffy: "get me a full sized cup of cafecito" Waiter: "so you've chosen death"

Mexican mom, Colombian dad, Cuban stepdad, born in Miami — everything from telling apart the way you speak Spanish to the accent to cafecitos WAS SPOT ON AND HILARIOUS 🤣

"You gonna recognize by the way they speak Spanish" Me, a Brazilian: 🤡

Love that Gabriel is so funny without murmuring one curse word. His insight into people is unique and spot on.

As an Italian, Cubans drink coffee like God Meant it, Salute hermanos.

As a Cuban, although coffee is definitely in our blood, our preferred alcoholic drink is definitely rum.

To all the people saying us Puerto Ricans speak too fast; you haven't met our Dominican neighbors. Those people really apply the meaning of speed to their speech!

When I was very young I lived in Orlando and there was this awesome Cuban restaurant that my father used to take me to for "boy's night" once a month, which was just my dad and me since I was an only child. It was meant to be a bonding experience, and the people at the restaurant came to know us. I don't remember the name, and I'd be surprised if it was still there (the last time we went was when I was 10, 35 years ago). My father would always get a cup of cafecito at the end of the meal, and because the restaurant owner knew I wanted to be a "big man", even though I was really young, he would bring me my own "cafecito", which was just a small cup of warm milk with maybe -- MAYBE -- a teaspoon of coffee in it. The people who owned that restaurant were just the best damn people in the world. The place was small and it was clear that they were far from rich, but they always brought me extra plantains and always sat and talked with us for a while when we were there.

This guy is always hilarious,he’s got a way to make you laugh at the jokes even if you don’t speak or understand Spanish.

"I'm not a -ito, I'm a -ande" gets me everytime 🤣

But even Mexicans have the weirdest accents. Put a norteño, a yucateco, and a poblano in the same room and then wait for the Monty Python sketch to unfold.

I’m Puerto Rican and grew up in a Cuban neighborhood. Since childhood I been drinking those shots of coffee. When he said he drank the whole bowl I gasped out loud! The most I’ve ever had is 3 shots and that gave me heart palpitations and an upset stomach. A whole bowl is a real emergency!

I once tried cuban coffee, a friend of mine that came from there liked his coffee as authentic as it goes, and served me and my sisters (we're all female) shot-glasses of the thing, i wanted to look like I enjoyed it as I like coffee, expresso, americano, any coffee goes for me, so I asked for a cup, not a glass, drank the whole thing, and man, I wasn't sure if my heart stopped or was beating so fast it looked like a flat-line.

As a Dominican 🇩🇴, my mom remarried a Cuban. And the coffee thing is so true. My step dad would have a little cup of coffee every morning. He couldn't live without it 😂. It was two things we never ran out of in my house. Rice and coffee 😂

I'm Cuban and even I was praying to all of the Santos when he ordered a larger size Cuban coffee... that stuff don't play. In Haiti they use puffer fish to make zombies... In Cuba we use coffee. I had a Colombian bf who was a gamer... I introduced Cuban coffee. He basically looked at me, "F^

I went to Miami once and had a cuban sandwich with their coffee shot. I was confused why I couldnt fall asleep until after 2am and I realized it was the coffee lol

As a black American from Georgia, I can tell you that what he says about the variety of races in the Cuban and PR population is true. I went was visiting Miami's Little Havana section and saw a dark skinned black man with long dreadlocks. I thought he was Jamaican. I tried to ask him directions on how to get to certain spot I was looking for and neither one of us understood the other. Much love and respect to Latin culture though. I need to learn Spanish.

As a Puerto Rican, we absolutely talk like there's a time limit 🤣 Oh my God, man, I almost spit out my food when he said that 🤣 The first time I have my husband some Spanish Espresso coffee, I asked how much cream and sugar he wants. He goes, "Pfft, babe, I'm a man. I only drink black coffee." I said, "if you drink this black, your tongue will sprout hair and you will be wired until next Tuesday." 🤣

The three accents that Gabriel left out in this video were Argentinian 🇦🇷(which sounds Italian 🇮🇹), Colombian 🇨🇴, and Venezuelan 🇻🇪. But the Mexican 🇲🇽, Cuban 🇨🇺, and Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 that he did use were definitely spot on.

As a Cuban who spent some of their childhood in a Dominican/Puerto Rican neighborhood of Jersey City...this is straight up accurate! But a simple way for me to tell another Cuban is to ask the very simple question, "¿Qué bola, asere?" Every other Latino would have no idea what I'm talking about, but every Cuban would know this as our way of saying "What's up, bro?" Thanks to colonization of the Caribbean, we all come in different colors. Wait until Gabriel finds out about Chinese-Cubans! In Manhattan's Upper West Side, there's a Chinese-Cuban fusion originally called La Caridad 78 founded in 1968 by Raphael Lee, and his son took over the business. The original closed in July 2020, but moved and reopened as La Caridad 72 in 2023. While the chefs overtime were replaced with ones from Mainland China, ONE Chinese-Cuban chef remained, and he had a Cuban accent SO thick, that you just wouldn't expect it to come out of his mouth (there's a Great Big Story vid with the restaurant featured). But seriously, Chinese-Cuban cuisine IS a thing. Baby back ribs with guava barbecue sauce is an example of this!
