Each year, more and more people travel to Mexico specifically for its food scene. Our mission has always been to celebrate Mexico’s food culture and what better way to do so than through learning by doing. *Learn how to make a traditional Mexican meal from start to finish. *The menu can be easily adapted to vegetarians. *Includes written recipes for you to take home.
Dinner
Everything that you cook is for you. Eat as much as you want once the class is over and if you don’t finish everything you can take whatever is left in containers provided by us.
An apron will be provided for each participant to use during the class
All the ingredients for the cooking class
Private transportation
In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll learn the basic techniques that Mexicans grow up mastering at home: How to make a basic green salsa, how to use fresh and dried chiles, how to handle corn masa and shape it with your hands, and how to cook nopales, among others. This is not just about teaching you recipes, it is about empowering you to feel confident about sharing the flavors of a world-honored culinary tradition, while having fun in a relaxed environment. Step inside a professional working kitchen in the Narvarte neighborhood. Chef Ariane and her husband Said, a barista, own this specialty coffee shop. They have earned national recognition for their bread-making in 2024 and 2026. During business hours, they serve coffee, cocktails, baked goods, and savory dishes. In the same kitchen, she also teaches Mexican food classes to promote our cuisine and culture through an experience of flavors and ingredients.

Fun, Interactive & Very Tasty

Julieta made the class easy to follow. It was very interactive and we learned how to prepare several dishes plus we got to eat everything afterwards. We loved all the food and we look forward to preparing the dishes when we get home!

Hi Sophia. We're so happy to hear you'll try making the recipes again at home. Chef Julieta designed the class with the idea that everyone can replicate the recipes at home, so our culture and cuisine can travel to more places.

Great cooking class, Lots of fun and learned a lot too! What's not to llke?

This was a very well run class, and I've done many all over. We prepped everything, and did most of the cooking. She did not supply beer etc. but was fine if we brought our own. A wonderful evening out. Thank you
