As you plan your trip to Mexico City, dive into the local culture and cuisine with a cooking class in Mexico City.
Under the guidance of Chef Eduardo, an expert of the local culinary scene, you'll learn the time-honored techniques and recipes to craft traditional Mexican dishes.
The class begins by learning how to make a black bean stew with savory porchetta or chorizo mixed in. Then, discover the secrets to making the perfect mole sauce. Practice knife skills by chopping Roma tomatoes, tomatillos, white onions and dried peppers for a smoky and spicy sauce. Mix high-quality ingredients and make handmade tortillas cooked until golden brown. Then, fill your tacos with zucchini blossoms, portobello mushrooms and white onions for a fragrant vegan taco.

Chef Jose was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire process fun and engaging. We went to a market which was a lot of fun and a learning experience. He provided clear step-by-step instructions, and made it fun for everyone! The ingredients were fresh, and the kitchen was well-equipped. (Only thing I would suggest is adding a better tortilla maker). I loved how interactive the class was—everyone got to participate, and we were able to ask questions and learn new techniques. By the end, I walked away with new skills, delicious recipes, and a renewed love for cooking. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to improve their culinary skills to learn to make enchiladas, tacos and fresh salsa!

Chef Jose thought the class and he provided a fun and educational learning experience. The class wasn’t as described though. This one was Marketed as a “Tortilla and Salsa” class. I was here last year and signed up for a “Mexican Cooking Class”. Turns out it was in the same kitchen, with the same instructor, with the same menu (which include soup and enchiladas. What I was looking for was a class specific to salsas. Still a good class even if it was a repeat.

We were doing a corporate offsite in Mexico City and decided to do the cooking class with Chef Jose. It was an amazing experience - from buying grocery from the local market to preparing & cooking the dishes. The food turned out to be amazing. It was a great team event and I would highly recommend everyone to try it!
