I learned to cook where the best Mexican cooks learn: next to my grandmother. I have degrees in bakery and pastries from the Cloister of Sister Joan, and I just finished studying gastronomy, and together with my mom we have a cafeteria in the city. The kitchen is not my job, it's my world. I have been creating gastronomic experiences for travelers from all over the world for more than two years, and what matters most to me is not that you learn a recipe, but that when you finish you feel that in Mexico you will always have a friend. Each experience is different because each person is different. Welcome to Mexico:)

What are people saying about Mexico City

Allan_B, Jul 2026

My wife and I had an amazing experience. We were partnered with a bachelorette party and another couple. Our host Alex was absolutely incredible. She walked us through the whole process and its history, had the boat stocked with plenty of beer and tequila, mezcal. It was a party to say the least! My wife was over the moon as this is the only thing that she wanted to do on our trip and had a wonderful time!

Exquisite Meal and Conversation

My family and I will always remember our evening with Margarita. She is engaging and very kind, and she tailored the meal and experience for us. We will be able to follow the recipes at home and hopefully have exquisite meals like the one we had at her beautiful home. This was a highlight of our time in CDMX.

Perfect Foodie Experience in CDMX

What a terrific way to spend a morning in CDMX! Our guide and instructor Lorena was fantastic. We were greeted with coffee, tea, and a huitlacoche quesadilla! We then proceeded to visit a tortillería and a local market. This part of the experience included many unexpected food samples— I won’t name them because the surprise is part of the fun! We then returned to the studio to prepare a delicious multi-course meal, full of cultural learning, sampling, chopping, baking, and cooking. Everyone was kept busy and there was never a dull moment. When it came time to eat, we had mezcal shots, beer, and wine to accompany our meal! The food we made was elevated and authentic, and included things I had never tried even though I’ve been to Mexico many times. We also enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with fellow travelers. I highly recommend this experience.

Mexican Cooking Class with Food Market Visit in Mexico City

Authentic Food of Mexico City

We recently traveled to Mexico City and wanted to truly immerse ourselves in the history and culture of its people. What better way to do that than through a hands-on cooking experience? We were warmly welcomed by Chef Jose, who graciously allowed us to join the class—even though we arrived about 15 minutes late thanks to Mexico City traffic (which, by the way, is not for the faint of heart!). From the start, his kindness and hospitality set the tone for an incredible experience. Chef Jose guided us through a local market, sharing his knowledge of the region’s fresh produce, herbs, and meats. He gave us time to explore on our own, taking in the vibrant energy and offerings of the market before heading back to his home, where the class took place. Once there, he walked us through the menu using the ingredients we helped select. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient, explaining each step from start to finish in a way that made the experience approachable and fun. We were fully involved taking turns preparing each dish and truly learning the techniques behind them. From fresh tortillas and salsa to guacamole, vegetarian soup, tacos, and enchiladas, every dish felt authentic and full of flavor. Sitting down together to enjoy the four-course meal we helped create was the perfect ending—and it was absolutely delicious. This is truly a must-do experience in Mexico City if you want to connect with the culture in a meaningful way. Thank you, Chef Jose, for such a memorable and rewarding experience.

We had a great cooking class with Lucia. She gave us options of what to cook so we had input for our meal. We were at her home and she had a large, roomy kitchen, not to mention a beautiful backyard! Her recipes were fairly simple so we knew we could replicate them at home. Her English was perfect so we understood everything she was teaching us! Plus she was a great teacher. We have been traveling in Mexico for 4.5 months and this is our 4th cooking class we have taken in our travels and this was our favorite! Highly recommend!!

One of the highlights of my trip to Mexico City. We visited a local market, purchased authentic ingredients, and made tortillas, salsa, guacamole, ceviche, and margaritas from scratch. Great instructor, great food, and lots of fun. I left with a full stomach, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for Mexican culture. Highly recommend!

Roma food tour, delicious way to explore the neighborhood

We had a great time with Marianna doing a food tour of Roma. We went to six great spots, with a wide sampling of tacos, tostadas, tamales, ceviche, mole, chocolate and coffee. As we walked between spots we got an overview of the neighborhood as well. It was a delicious way to get oriented!

Our group of four had an amazing time with Lucia! Lucia was a clear and effective teacher for cooking delicious tacos, sopes, mole, and dessert and we returned home with new recipes and skills. We also enjoyed chatting with her about Mexican history while dining in her beautiful home. Her insights on Mexican culture, food, and history provided valuable perspective on our entire trip. She also gave us recommendations for places to visit which we enjoyed greatly. Thank you, Lucia!
