Mexico City food makes the most sense when you see the ingredients before they reach the plate. With Lucía, you begin at a local market, then head to her home to cook dishes such as mole, chile rellenos, sopes, rice, and traditional desserts. I like the personal setting and the chance to taste ingredients you … Read more
The best part of this Mexico City cooking class is its home-kitchen setting. In Roma Sur, you work beside a local host rather than watch a chef perform behind a counter. Aremi guides you through eight Mexican recipes, shares everyday food stories, and keeps the mood easy with margaritas, wine, or nonalcoholic drinks. I like … Read more
The most unusual part of this four-hour food walk is the stop at guide Yibran’s home, where his wife Daniela prepares homemade tamales and hot chocolate.

The setting is personal: a working kitchen, a garden, and a meal shared at home. I like the custom … Read more

You walk through a working neighborhood market, taste produce and local specialties, then use those ingredients in a four-course meal at Aura Cocina Mexicana. I like the unusual menu, especially mextlapiques and mole blanco, dishes you … Read more
