We had a fantastic time at our cooking class - first the market visit was great, then we spent a couple of hours making mole, tortillas, salsas, guacamole and tamales. It was a fantastic experience and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mexico City.

Had a great evening picking up some ingredients to make our delicious meal. at the local market. Ended up making 8 dishes as we were a group of 8. We even were able to get the 3 guys in our group to help with prepping.
Great food!
Tracey_M, Jan 2024
We made some great food - learning how to make the salsa and fresh tortillas was especially interesting! I was hoping for a little more information and stories on the historical context for the food as well as some more info on the methodology behind the recipes and ingredients but all in all a good workshop if you're a beginner looking to make some delicious Mexican food.
Amazing experience

I am a big meat lover/eater, but the zucchini blossom tacos were some of the best tacos I’ve ever eaten! Hats off to Eduardo for making it a very memorable day!
Amazing cooking experience.

We had an amazing time. We were instructed in knife skills, cooking techniques and the history of the food we were making. We then got to ripe our rewards and eat what we all cooked.
