Unique cooking class- great for families!! - Wonderful experience! Highly recommend booking this cooking class!
We were a group of 4 adults and 5 kids and Lucia was a kind, patient (particularly with our kids) and generous host teaching us about the ingredients, preparation and region.
We made quesadillas with squash blossoms or huitlacoche, sopes with chorizo, pipian verde (an ancient mole made of pumpkin seeds) and cactus pear dessert. All were delicious and unique items we had never tasted before. As one of our children proclaimed “this is the best restaurant i’ve ever eaten in”!
Lucia’s house is lovely with a verdant backyard in the San Angel area of mexico city which is a lovely neighborhood to explore as well with cobblestone streets and colonial architecture.
All our group had a wonderful experience and would book again on our next trip to mexico city!

Cooking with Lucia was a highlight of our week in Mexico City - We were a group of 6 adults that spent 7 days in amazing Mexico City and our afternoon with Lucia was a highlight of the week for everyone. Lucia welcomed us into her beautiful home, guided us through the process of cooking Chicken Mole from scratch, as well as making quesadillas and salsas. I highly recommend you consider Lucia for your Mexican cooking experience as well simply meeting a lovely local.

Great cooking class! - We loved our day hanging out and cooking with Lucia. She was flexible with the menu, taught us so much and everything turned out great! Her home and garden are beautiful, and make a great place to enjoy the food that you cooked together.

Awesome experience! - My wife and I had an amazing time cooking with Lucia. She was warm and welcomed us to her home. We were running late and texted her and she informed us that it was a private class and to take our time getting there.
We wound up making quesadillas, sopas, 2 different salsas, chile rellenos and a cactus dessert. It was all so delicious! We had fun banter with Lucia about food, family, etc. 100% would recommend!

Lovely and healthy Mexican cooking class with an expert! - I loved this experience - perfect way to kick off our Mexico City trip! Lucia did a wonderful job creating a diverse menu for us with high quality ingredients and conversation- we made salsa verde, quesadillas, stuffed peppers, and a guava dessert from scratch and enjoyed her beautiful garden over lunch. I will definitely be making the salsa again!! Probably the best meal we had in Mexico City :)

Book this class! - Cooking with Lucia was a great experience! I definitely recommend her class. We had amazing food in a beautiful home. She was also kind enough to help us find our way to the San Angel where there is a great market, restaurants and the Diego Riviera studio.

Warm and welcoming host - Lucia is such a warm and wonderful person. She welcomed us into her home and it felt like cooking with an old friend. The dishes were delicious and we got to enjoy them in her beautiful garden. She is well traveled and very knowledgeable about Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend this cooking class!
