Top Oaxaca Cooking Classes

Great experience! We tried many different foods, drinks, snacks, and fruits; and also learned about the city along the way! We enjoyed the different settings where we ate. Tacos on the street, exploring the different markets, and desert in the square. Very complete, well rounded tour! Highly recommended!!

This is a very interesting afternoon of going to a real market in a non-touristy corner of Oaxaca. Quetie (sp?) shopped with us, identified unfamiliar fruits for us, and then let us back to the big kitchen where in a friendly and clear way she instructed us and how to make a wonderful vegetarian soup with corn and spinach and how to make delicious tortillas by hand and mamelas and quesadillas. Diego concocted a fantastic mango with mescal cocktail. My daughter and I loved it and have already gone shopping at our local Mexican store back in Chicago to try to re-create the menu. We appreciated these hard-working and friendly young people of Oaxaca who shared their culture and skills very generously with us. I highly recommend them.

This was a great experience. The food was delicious and we shopped at the market and cooked and of course ate. I recommend don’t eat.much before the cooking class. We made chocolate mole - the best I have eaten and I ate many. Overall, highly recommended.

It was a fascinating tour, they arrived on time for us, and were very friendly. Our Guide Edelmira told us many stories, she made it very entertaining and fun. They took us to many places with all the explanations. We had an incredible time. Hope to see them soon, all our family loved it.

Amazing tour. Best way to see Monte Alban and all the other sites. Hector was a star. He explained everything in English to me even though I was the only English speaking in the group. He took photos and really helped me feel part of the group as a solo traveller. Don’t miss this tour.

Roberto was our excellent driver with Moses our excellent tour guide. Moses is fluent in Spanish and English. He is very knowledgeable and his explanations very informative. Moses also has a great sense of humour. A terrific half day tour which allowed us plenty of time to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with my guide, Ro. She was incredibly knowledgeable and answered my many questions in a way that was easy for a layperson to understand. We primarily spoke in Spanish, but whenever I struggled to follow, she seamlessly switched to English, which made the experience even more comfortable. While I originally came for the mezcal tasting, the mole pairing ended up being a huge highlight. I had never been much of a fan of mole before, probably because I’d only had mediocre versions, but this completely changed my perspective. I left a true fan and even brought some of my favorites home. Fair warning: you’ll likely leave with a few bottles of mezcal as well. Ro thoughtfully wrapped mine in bubble wrap so they made it home safely in my luggage. This tasting is a fantastic way to learn about and appreciate the nuances of mezcal before visiting the distilleries themselves. 10/10 experience, absolutely worth the price and highly recommended.

terrific guided tour of some of the traditional market sites. mole and mezcal tasting topped off with a meal that was very tasty. good way to experience the market and know where you want to spend more time. the street food we experienced was the very best of the eating experiences!!!!
