It's rare (and probably unprecedented) that we'd recommend watching 5-minute ads for pre-packaged Mexican food, but these are worth making an exception.

In Grey London's first work as the lead agency for General Mills U.K., the agency takes two food-savvy Brits—a butcher and fishmonger—to Mexico for a culinary tour of Puebla and Ensenada.

The "Cook Like the Locals" campaign is anchored by two long-form clips from the British duo's tour. They explore the traditions and techniques behind dishes like chicken tinga and Baja fish tacos, which also happen to be two of the dishes featured in Old El Paso's new "Restaurante" line of soft taco kits.
