MrBeast and Lee both shared the same video on their TikTok pages trying and rating Aloha Mamacita's food. "We went to Aloha Mamacita. We got birria tacos. Let's try them and rate them one to 10," Lee said. "I'm with MrBeast. We also have the owners of Aloha Mamacita. They cooked all this delicious food and we gonna try it."

That's when MrBeast dropped a bomb. He's never had any tacos other than Taco Bell. "You've never had any other taco except Taco Bell?" Lee asked in confusion and shock. The two then began digging into the table full of food from the Vegas eatery.

Lee gave MrBeast a quick tutorial on how to properly eat a birria taco by dipping it into the sauce. After taking one bite, it appeared that MrBeast was won over.

When asked by Lee what MrBeast would rate the taco, he said, "On a scale of like Taco Bell to 10, a 10!" He then had his friend Chandler, who he said was a very picky eater, try the taco. He rated it an eight.

The two then struck up a conversation with the owners of Aloha Mamacita. MrBeast asked how long they've been open. "I started this actually when I was eight months pregnant. My husband was actually in Oklahoma for work. I wanted to bring him back so I was like hey, I'm making tacos. You need to come back. And then we started the business," the owner said.

MrBeast then gifted them a briefcase full of money; $10,000 to be exact.
