I was a little skeptical to participate in a cooking lesson in a foreign country on the first night, but it was AMAZING. I would definitely recommend this as a first night in Mexico City event. The hosts Alex and Ali were so gracious (and patient) while we cooked a phenomenal meal of salsas, flautas, and a delicious corn cupcake. This event was really the highlight of our trip. The hosts answered so many of our questions about Mexican cooking and general travel tips. If I come back to Mexico City, this will definitely be on our list. It was a surprise for my partner, and she had a blast.

Alex was personable and made our group of four women feel comfortable in his home. As someone who grew up eating a lot of Mexican food, I wasn’t certain how much I would learn, but I learned a LOT. It was fun, interactive, and the food? delicious. Easy walk up a flight of stairs from the street and a clean, small apartment. Nice to do a private event and let our teens be loud and have fun. We also enjoyed this was at night, so we could spend the day exploring, rather than many other classes are in the middle of the day. Alex planned a perfect meal for a cool night and accommodated our dietary restrictions, nicely. He was prepared and professional.
Fun night of cooking eating and drinking!

This was quite a delightful experience. We were welcomed into Alex’s home and he was such a friendly and gracious host and a wonderful teacher! He offered us drinks and sat down and talked about our evening ahead. He had purchased all the food but we were the chefs! My husband never cooks and Alex was patient and gave great instructions! He had so many hints and information about the food and process and culture. We prepared an appetizer, 3 types of salsa , Main dish and dessert . All incredibly delicious! We enjoyed our time in the kitchen and then sat down for drinks and appetizers at the bar and then at the table for dinner. Conversation was easy and it was such a fun night. We would highly recommend this activity!
Highly recommend this cooking class on night one!

Wonderful fun experience

Alex & his wife Alejandra were so gracious. Before our arrival in Mex City, they were certain to ask if anyone in our group had food allergies so they would be prepared. Their home was small but very comfortable and relaxing. Their English was great. Their joy, laughter & fun spirits during our visit was contagious. Alex is a teacher, but he loves to cook. Alejandra is a tour guide. The combination is a recipe for a wonderful time. Oh, and the food was delicious too! Highly recommend!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. A spectacular, delicious meal in a lovely home with friendly, intelligent, entertaining, informative hosts. Our evening with Alex and Ale was one of the absolute highlights of our Mexico City holiday. We highly recommend it, if you’re considering this kind of culinary adventure.

Alex was a great host and teacher, hands on cooking class-we had fun cooking and even more fun eating our 3 course lunch washed down with a few drinks--a great way to learn about the local cuisine--then return home and try it on your friends and family
