• Av Nuevo León 4 - Dive into the rich world of Mexican cuisine with an engaging market tour and cooking class!

Embark on a ninety-minute exploration of Roma’s Mercado Medellín, where you’ll discover how ancient Mesoamerican ingredients and techniques have influenced the Mexican culinary landscape, and how the Spanish conquest in the 16th century transformed dining habits in both Mexico and Europe.

Afterwards, return to the charming La Condesa residence of your chef and guide, where you’ll create your favorite dishes from scratch using fresh ingredients. Get ready to immerse yourself in the cooking process, as you’ll prepare tamales, mole, and tortillas in just 3.5 hours. Dietary needs will be considered, and you’ll stay refreshed with small-brand Mexican beer and soft drinks.

Conclude your culinary adventure by savoring your creations at a beautifully set table adorned with local linens and artisanal tableware. Reflect on the day’s activities over dessert, and enjoy a glass of Mexican wine and/or mezcal.

Most dietary needs can be accommodated. While wheelchair users have participated in the class, please note that the building lacks an elevator. Allergy sufferers should be aware of the presence of two cats in the house.

Experience Mexican food like never before with a market tour and cooking class! Learn about the ancient and colonial roots of the dishes you love, prepare them from scratch and feast like an emperor!

This is one of the most complete culinary experiences we’ve seen in Mexico City. Many places offer either market tours, classes or tastings, and they teach you how to make a single dish or a couple of related dishes. With us, you get the best of all worlds, as first, your guide will give you a comprehensive overview of the history of Mexican cuisine, then, you’ll prepare an entire menu that consists of multiple courses and sides, and finally, you’ll learn about and taste lots of local drinks. Not only does this represent great value for money, it also makes for an experience that’s the highlight of many of our guests’ time in Mexico!

We can happily plan for most dietary requirements, but unfortunately strict kosher is not possible at this time.
