Experience Details

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.

Sample Menu

STARTER
Tamal verde/green tamal or tamal de elote/ fresh corn tamal (please choose one)
Traditional corn flour tamal with a tangy green tomatillo filling or lesser-known fresh corn tamal with a smoky red chipotle topping.
MAIN
Mole poblano, mole verde or mole manchamanteles (please choose one)
Classic spicy but sweet mole poblano with chocolate, fresh, light green mole with crisp leaves or decadent manchamanteles with tasty tropical fruit.

What You’ll Experience

Understand and enjoy Mexican cuisine more than ever with this market tour and cooking class! On your one-hour tour of Roma's Mercado Medellín, you'll learn how ancient Mesoamerican ingredients and techniques shape the Mexican cuisine we know today, and why the Spanish conquest of Mexico in the 16th century changed the way people eat both here and in Europe forever. Then, back at the beautiful Condesa home of your chef/ guide, you'll make all your favorite dishes from scratch using fresh ingredients. Prepare to get your hands dirty, as in just 3.5 hours, you'll rustle up tamales, mole and tortillas. Mexican craft beer and soft drinks will keep you hydrated. Finally, you'll enjoy the delicious fruits of your labor at a table laid with local linens and artisanal tableware. Reflect on the day's experience over dessert and finish with a cup of Mexican wine and/ or mezcal. Most dietary requirements can be accommodated. Wheelchair users have attended the class before, but the building does not have an elevator. Allergy sufferers should be aware that there are two cats in the house. Solo travelers are welcome. Just reach out!
