    About this experience

    We want you to live the whole Mexican experience. After we pick you up, we will head to the local Market in the colourful neighbourhood of Coyoacán where the chef will be waiting for you. We will start with a traditional breakfast (included) at a quesadillas and tacos place. Then we will buy all the ingredients that you will need for your menu (previously selected by you). Once we have all ingredients we will go to the Chef's house where we will start with the cooking course. As you will be tired and thirsty, we will also include a small Mezcal tasting, and you will be able to try 3 different mezcals with the proper explanation. To finish this experience, you will eat all you cooked with the chef and interchange opinions of what you learned. One of the most wanted experiences due to the approach you have with lots of local people. You have to select one appetizer, one starter, one main course, one dessert and one beverage option.

    Best cooking experience I’ve ever had

    I’ve taken several cooking classes in various countries in my travels and this was by far the best! Fanny is a wonderful, warm and caring person. She strove to make sure that we made authentic food that we enjoyed. She spent time going over the history of the food we were making and how it varied from region to region. We spent most of the day in her lovely apartment cooking. The class was well organized and the lunch that we ate was the best meal we’ve had in Mexico. This was the highlight of our trip to Mexico City. I’d highly recommend it if you enjoy cooking, good food and fascinating conversation. She worked hard to adjust the recipes to our food taste and taught us how to vary the recipes once we got home. I’d do this class again to learn more recipes

    Authentic market tour and cooking class with a local

    It started with 6 of us being picked up by a van and transported to Andrea's house in Navarte. On the way to the market to buy our ingredients, we had breakfast on the street. It is not a big market but served the purpose. Andrea has lived in the area her entire life so she has so many backstories about the neighborhood, market, vendors, etc. We came back to the house and we started preparing our dishes. She has a very comfortable, large kitchen with a table outside where we ate. It was instructive and thoroughly enjoyable. We took home about 2 days worth of meals. Her depth of knowledge about the cooking as well as the neighborhood deepened the authenticity. Highly recommended.

    10 Star Experience & Chef

    A wonderful morning & lunch. The field trip to the market and cooking class were fun and enjoyable. Andrea is a professionally trained chef, with several years experience in the restaurant industry. Her understanding of Mexico's various regional food cultures added an indescribable higher element to the experience. On top of it all, our four course meal was ABSOLUTELY delicious. Thank you Andrea for a fabulous class, a welcoming home, and allowing us to get to know you. M & G 10 ⭐️'s

    Excellent cooking class with so many extras!

    Cooking classes are a must when visiting a country for the first time! Andrea was an excellent chef & host. It was like being a friend’s house & learning to cook something new! Food was delicious & the parting gifts were such a wonderful surprise!

    A Mexican Cooking Class: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.

    How much does A Mexican Cooking Class cost?

    +

    Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does A Mexican Cooking Class take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.

    Is A Mexican Cooking Class worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule A Mexican Cooking Class?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is A Mexican Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book A Mexican Cooking Class?

    +

    Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does A Mexican Cooking Class start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mexico City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Frida Kahlo VIP [Museum Tickets Included] Walk, Markets & Churros, Local Foodie Adventure CDMX: Tacos & more with Sherpa Food Tours, Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mexico City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mexico City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
