Great learning experience resulting in delicious food! - This was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Jose, the chef that taught us is an experienced chef and great teacher. Learning about and purchasing the local ingredients during the market tour was also really worthwhile. The food we made under Jose's guidance was delicious.

Fantastic Food and Chef - I believe one of the best ways to learn about a culture is to take a cooking class. Our chef was accommodating, knowledgeable, and helpful. The food was so good! We are vegetarian and other people at the class were not. We like lots of spice and other people there did not. Our chef was able to adjust recipes to match our different needs while we cooked together.

Book now! You'll love it! - My sister & I did the cooking class & loved the experience. Pro tip: grab some beer on your way (if you like beer that is). We brought a 6 pack to share & then another in the group went & got more. Our group of 8 was great! We cooked with really fun people and Jose was an excellent teacher and kept things organized & flowing quite well. The home where we met was beautiful. It was really fun to cook in an historic, authentic kitchen. Would highly recommend.

Learn how to cook the delicacies of Mexico with your own Chef! - Jose did a beautiful job teaching us about the culinary delights of Mexico through a market tour and cooking class. We enjoyed making our own homemade guacamole, roasted salsa, soupas, and blue tortillas. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend - I had the most amazing time at a cooking class in Mexico City! From start to finish, the experience was hands-on, educational, and incredibly fun. Our chef-instructor was not only a fantastic cook but also a great storyteller, sharing the rich history and cultural significance behind each dish we prepared. We started by going to the local market and then went to class, learning to make handmade tortillas, and let me tell you, there’s something truly special about creating them from scratch. The technique was surprisingly simple but the taste — nothing like store-bought! Then, we moved on to making tinga tostados, with the perfect balance of smoky, savory flavors from the tender chicken and various sauces. The Rajas con crema was another highlight — a creamy, flavorful dish that paired beautifully with the tortillas we had just made. Along with these, we prepared a few other delicious dishes that gave us a deep dive into authentic Mexican cuisine. What I appreciated most about the class was how the instructor made sure we were involved every step of the way, from chopping and stirring to tasting and plating. There was a real emphasis on teaching us techniques we could use at home, and the chef gave us tips for sourcing ingredients and adapting recipes to our local markets. The best part, of course, was sitting down together to enjoy the meal we had created. It was not just a cooking class; it felt like a shared celebration of food, culture, and great company. If you’re in Mexico City and love cooking (or even just eating!), I can’t recommend this class enough. It’s a wonderful way to immerse yourself in local flavors and traditions.
