Cook a Mexican meal with Chef José, shop at a local market, and learn practical recipes in a small Mexico City class.

“Did not have the mezcal tasting or any alcohol tasting. The market tour was not done he just went in and bought his supplies and said to go look around. We have still not received any recipes! We did another cooking class in Mexico which was much better with full market tour and tastings. Wish I would have chosen that company again. Do not book this one!”

Learn Mexican dishes, handmade tortillas, and three cocktails in a small Mexico City class with a local market visit.

“Nice place. Looks like a museum. Market visit was quick and short. No actual shopping, but we tasted some Mexican snacks. The cooking part was fund. Each person was responsible to prepare part of the menu. Drinking the cocktails we made in between the course was fund. The instructor, Ile, had a good control over the course and involved us all. However, i believe, the course is too overpriced, considering the short time, our partial involvement in cooking the cihse. :”

Eat through Roma Norte, Roma Sur, and Mercado de Medellín, then share tamales and hot chocolate at a local home in Mexico City.

“This food tour was one of the highlights of my family's trip to Mexico City. Our tour guide, Yibran, was informative, kind, and insightful. He showed us around La Condesa and Roma Norte; all the stops were places he had grown up visiting. Our tour was a little different because the other half of the group had to cancel at the last minute. As a result, Yibran was kind enough to alter the tour to better fit what we desired. We did four food stops, toured a mercado, and ended at his home with a Mezcal and chocolate tasting. His wife also made us delicious tamales and homemade hot chocolate.…”

It was fun to meet other travelers and residents who share the same interests. We walked around the neighborhood to check out how tortillas were made in different types of shops, ate a delicious street taco, and then went to the market to learn about the relation of food to Mexican history, chiles, corn, etc. My son and I even tried chicatanas and found that they were actually tasty.
