I learned to cook where the best Mexican cooks learn: next to my grandmother. I haven't stopped since. 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 a year, 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

Sal_T, May 2026

David is the best!

This experience was one of the top highlights of our trip! Our host David was so friendly and knowledgeable. He communicated clearly so we knew exactly where to meet and board the boat. Once onboard we were treated to great conversation, fun music, and ice-cold drinks (tequila, mezcal, beer, and non alcoholic beverages were available). The trip felt personalized, with options to stop and shop or see the axolotls, as well as acknowledgement and celebration of my partner’s birthday! David is a spectacular guide and I highly recommend booking with him if you want to spend an enjoyable time in Xochimilco. We will be back with friends next time!

Historic Center Food Tour in Mexico City

Alex_R, Apr 2026

Come Hungry & Expect the Unexpected!

This was such a great experience and easily one of the highlights of our time in Mexico City. Everything was super organized from start to finish, and there was a lot of food- definitely come hungry because you’ll be trying way more than you expect. The market portion of the tour was especially memorable. It’s not for the squeamish, but that’s what made it so unique- getting a glimpse into a side of the city you probably wouldn’t explore on your own. It felt authentic, a little wild, and really interesting. Food-wise, there was an incredible variety, including some more adventurous options like javelina, which made the whole experience even more fun! But the absolute highlight was our guide, Josie. She was bright, bubbly, and brought so much energy to the group. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it completely elevates the tour. She made everyone feel comfortable, kept things engaging, and honestly made the whole day. All in all, such a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. The price is a bit on the higher side, but with the amount of food, the organization, and especially the quality of the guide, it’s absolutely worth it. I’d definitely recommend booking if you’re in CDMX.

Mexican Cooking Class with Food Market Visit in Mexico City

NATALYA_K, Apr 2026

Tasteful authentic experience

Fantastic, thoughtful and very pleasant experience with Ileana who guided us through the neighborhood market while sharing so much valuable and authentic knowledge about different fruits and vegetables we saw along the way. We were lucky to be the only family cooking that day and had the kitchen to ourselves. Illeana was patient, very knowledgeable and respectful with my teenage sons and thoughtfully engaged both of them in food preparation. Well done and thank you very much for giving us tasteful food and a great class!

Ian_R, Apr 2026

Fantastic cooking class and market tour.

Overall a fantastic cooking class and market tour. I ended up going to back to the market and bullying several things the following day, and I would not have known where to go if I hadn’t had a tour first. The class was well paced, interactive, and ended in a delicious lunch! Wholeheartedly recommended.

Mexican Churros Master Class

Drew_D, Mar 2026

Delicious churros and coffee with the whole family

Andrea was a great host and shared two recipes with us: churros and cafe de olla, a traditional preparation of Mexican coffee. Everything was delightful.

Learn to Cook Mexican Salsas

Allison_P, Jul 2025

Above and beyond - so much fun!

If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Our chef, Jazz, was absolutely delightful. She took us through the market to select our ingredients for the salsas, pointing out things and having us taste things as we walked. Then we walked to her place just across the road. It was already set up and amazingly appointed for the class. It was fun and interactive. Above and beyond our expectations. We tasted the salsas as we prepared them and then made quesadillas at the end. We were planning on dinner after but no need! We left fat and happy! We now have four delicious salsa recipes under our belt and a memory for life.
