★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $124Our pick

Shop a Mexico City market, cook a seasonal Mexican meal with Chef José, and share guacamole, tortillas, guisados, sorbet, and mezcal.

“This was a unique class. Held in a lovely private home with Jose it was very intimate and fun. Jose was the ringmaster guiding us through various stages of the cooking process. This class wasn't focused on teaching or explaining the cooking process, which other classes I have taken have included, but this was still a lot of fun. The fact that you do the cooking as a communal activity helps you get to know others and makes it super fun.”

“We traveled to Mexico City to attend several cooking classes and this one was excellent. Our instructor Ana was completely charming and very knowledgeable. She spent a great deal of time on the history of Mexican cooking, which was fascinating. During the class, we prepared Mextlapiques and Mole Blanco, among other dishes. Every class will teach you salsas and tortillas, so we were fortunate to learn these somewhat unique dishes. The cooking facility was very nicely decorated and clean and organized. I would say the strength of the class was the visit to the Medellin Market prior to the class. Ana expertly showed us the items used in Mexican cooking…”

To “try” is an understatement though. We literally had 6 meals. We left the tour full for the remainder of the day/night! Every item we ate was different and mucho delicioso. The highlight was being graciously welcomed into his and his wife’s home where they prepared a wonderful meal as one of the food stops. The hot chocolate his mother made us was the best hot chocolate all of us have ever had! We will never taste another cup like it…”
