Great fun and now I can make street tacos! - So much fun on all levels. The education, the hands-on, the market tour, the warm hospitality -- my three young adults (age 13, 19, 21) said this was their top three favorite activity on this family trip. Home run!

Amazing cooking class, experience and fiesta - 10/10 cooking class / fiesta, cannot recommend highly enough! Amazing experience, and real lesson on Mexican food, drink and history. Pame was sensational, it was a privilege to learn from somebody who truly loves what they do. I have been to a handful of cooking classes over the years, some at Michelin Star restaurants, and Pame was, by far, the most charismatic and passionate host.

Enriching taco cooking class - Very nice and interesting experience. I learned a lot about Mexican food and how to prepare it. The market tour is very informative and the cooking is very well structured and hands-on. I had a great time with our great teacher and can only recommend this cooking class.

Awesome cooking class - must do! - This was one of the best cooking classes we’ve taken! I’ve taking almost 10 all around the world and it’s really good. Chef Lorena was so professional and knowledgeable. She showed us how to prepare 3 tacos and 3 salsas. The food was absolutely delicious and would not hesitate to do it again. Super fun! 10/10 would recommend.

The best meal and activity we encountered in Mexico City! - We did the street tacos class with Lorena and it was hands down the most fun we had anywhere in Mexico City! It was also the best meal we had! First we were fed delicious quesadillas and we learned a lot about Mexican cuisine. Then we went on a trip to see a tortilleria at work, visited a market and got to try out "exotic" to us foods, and then we returned to the class to learn how to make corn tortillas, three kinds of tacos, and three kinds of salsa. Delicious agua fresco, mezcal, beer, and wine were provided for us as well and they closed the class out by offering us tiny, delicious sweets and candies for dessert which was perfect since we were incredibly full by that point. Lorena was even kind enough to offer us some tips for making good flour tortillas since my husband has been struggling with that for a bit. I would take this class again and again. It was amazing! It's a must do activity and worth every penny! 😍🌮🇲🇽
