5 Stars for Pamela! - Pamela was host/chef for the group that I joined. She was fantastic! I signed up for Spanish speaking, but the group were English speakers so Pamela offered and proceeded to speak in very good English for the duration. I was a bit hesitant about committing 4 hours to this class/tour, but it flew by. Very enjoyable and I learned a lot, not only about salsa making, but food culture, the neighborhood and CDMX in general. Highly recommended. Pamela was very professional, knowledgeable and created an environment that was very comfortable and fun.

The Best Cooking Class in CDMX! - Hands down our favorite activity when we visited Mexico City!
We had an incredible morning making these salsas and enjoying a delicious meal with them. We loved this class so much we bought a molcajete and have been making these salsas every weekend since we visted! Chef Pame is amazing, and we had such a wonderful time cooking and going on the market tour with her. The tortilleria and the market were amazing to experience, especially our taste test of bugs and chocolate (Pame gave me the muy guapo beetle). We got to learn about classic mexican ingredients and meals that made me excited to cook even more.
If you do any cooking class when you visit Mexico City, make sure it's Aura Cocina Mexicana! You'll have an amazing time.

An experience not to be missed! - My husband and I really enjoyed the Salsa making class with Krystal. We made 10 Salsas and she explained every step and had us make the salsa. We loved the fresh taste and feel that we gained a skill for life. Coming home with the recipe for everything we made will really help when we do this on our own. Overall great experience and would recommend it to anyone who loves Salsas!

Great Cooking Class! - Pame, our chef, was so informative, friendly, hospitable, and engaging. She was enthusiastic about our stay and showed us all over the market, and was very considerate of our preferences and needs. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she does, and your experience, and she ensured we have a great time. With the market tour this class is very long, so if you want to just dive into the cooking, or are short on time, I suggest just doing the cooking portion.

Our most amazing experience! - This was one of our favorite experiences in our week in Mexico City. We did it our first morning, and unfortunately, for everyone else, this experience at the bar. The facility is absolutely beautiful and extremely clean and well run. Every aspect of this experience was top notch and wonderful.
During the salsa class, there is a table for eight people, and each person makes one salsa during the time frame, and then the group together makes the other two. We were a little unsure how we were going to make 10 salsas each, but this makes a lot more sense! I don’t think that part was made very clear, and the reservation, only that you will make 10 salsas.
The class starts off, taking a small street tour, trying some of the different street foods, along with a tour of the Medellin Mercado. All of which was super fun and very informative. We returned back to the kitchen to start the construction of the salsa. One thing to mention here is the fact that you are able to sit down during the entire process if you would like to add your barstool. This was super important for me, as I have a bad knee, and did not know how I could stand at a kitchen counter for so long. Some of the people did stand, but others sat so either is acceptable.
The salsa experience was amazing, and the step-by-step instructions to each of us was really unique. It is amazing how well run these hours were. Clearly, there is a reason that this class at the Aura kitchen is the number one place to go. It is just so well run and managed and done that it will blow your mind when you are done. We could not recommend this enough. It’s a little more pricey then some other experiences we did, but it is so worth the money. Do not hesitate to do this, as you will not be disappointed.

Mexican Salsa Cooking Class - My spouse and I had a wonderful time. 10 salsas and 10 tacos, plus Mexican beer and mezcal. Our guide took us out on the street, where she had arranged for us to have freshly-made quesadillas of our choice. Wonderful! We also watched tortillas being made, and the market tour was fascinating! So many peppers, fruits, vegetables. She even had a sample plate of....insects! (We passed on that, but others on our tour found them surprisingly good.) We all enjoyed making salsas. It was fascinating to see how much the locals eat tacos, and that they all make their own salsas at home. Breakfast tacos and salsas, lunch tacos and salsas, and meatier dinner salsas. Only 2 of the 10 salsas were spicy, so don't be afraid to try this tour.

10 great salsas - We had a fun tour of the market and learned a lot about ingredients, especially different kinds of chilis. We enjoyed making 10 salsas all very tasty and using different techniques. Gaby was a great teacher. The class is so well organized and I know I will use the recipes and cooking techniques at home. Much fun. Would highly recommend this class.
