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.

I booked this tour with great expectations. Our first stop was to the market to learn about some traditional ingredients often used in Mexican Cuisine. We then went to the home to chef it up. We were a group of 10 people and everyone was involved in making everything. For a moment with all the madness in the kitchen I thought “let me lower my expectations” but boy was I pleasantly surprised at the end. The food was so good, some of the best I had while in CDMX. This is a must for anyone looking to really immerse themselves into the culture.

Quite enjoyable cooking class where we learned how to make taco shells from scratch, delicious tacos, soup and enchiladas. An intimate group of 9 of us in a lively city home. The chef was friendly and knowledgeable. And we made new friends. The lunch came out wonderful. Highly, highly recommend. Especially for people like me who can barely boil water. Something for every level.

We started the day evening with a trip to the market to get all the ingredients for the meal We were going to prepare we learned about the herbs we would be using. My husband and I were both given task to do cutting veggies and roasting veggies, we used a molcajete for the first time to make salsa and guacamole. That was the best meal I ever cooked! Our host did a great job explaining the different techniques we used. This is hands down one of our favorite experiences!
