Amazing & delicious
Ariana_A, Mar 2024
She was very lovely and informative. The salsa we made were the best we had in Mexico, so we’re super happy to bring back home the recipes to enjoy there :)
An experience we won't forget!

My friends and I had a fantastic time learning how to make 4 different kinds of salsa! Natalia was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all of us. She was very accommodating to our groups' varying spice tolerances, and the whole experience was very interactive. The salsas were *chef's kiss*, I'm still dreaming about them. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mexico City!
FUN and Delicious!

AmazIng class that my two 20+ kids loved and not because of the mezcal! From the food market to the intimate setting in the hosts house we all enjoyed every minute!
Fantastic- hit the book button now!

If you’re looking for a memorable experience, press the book button now. My family and I had such a wonderful time with Natalia during this tour. From shopping the market, trying new fruits to preparing 4 salsas and enjoying a home cooked meal together this was 10/10. Natalia was positive, energetic, knowledgeable and a pro in the kitchen. Highly recommend this tour.

Natalia was a wonderful hostess. Our family of 6 had great time seeing authentic Mexican market and learning to make some truly fantastic salsas. Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic experience.
Amazing experience, book it or you will regret it!
Pranjal_S, Mar 2023
Meeting a big black Trinidadian dude with dreadlocks who asked us if we were there for a salsa class, was the beginning of this laughter filled experience that kept us wanting more everytime. And it just got better from there. We went to the market and then his home where they have a table set up with cutting boards. We made some amazing salsas, all the time laughing at his jokes and he was a total gentleman about our skills or lack of! His stories, his humour and his love for Mexican stuff was apparent. This was one of our favorite things to do in Mexico City, a chance to get out and see how locals live, cook and shop. You won't regret it!
Fun learning experience
Eric_L, Feb 2023
What a great experience! Changed what I thought I knew about salsa. The hosts were amazing and hospitable. This was a great way to spend a morning.
Fun and Delicious Experience!
Terri_C, Jan 2023
SO excited my husband and I were able to find this experience! Definitely a highlight of our trip to CDMX! It's more than just a salsa cooking class - it's an authentic experience of Mexican culture outside of the tourist attractions. The tour starts with a trip to the local market to purchase fresh produce and we were even able to buy fresh mole to bring home! Quesse was a fantastic tour guide - so kind and so much fun! He put a lot of thought and detail into the class and even took photos throughout the tour for us!
Délicieuse expérience 😀
Laurence_N, Jun 2023
Excellente expérience 🤩 notre hôte était très accueillante et a fait l’effort de nous faire tout le cours en français! Nous sommes repartis avec des papilles régalées et de précieuses recettes en main 😀
