PRIVATE Traditional Mexico City Cooking Class in a Beautiful Home

Great Cooking Experience in Mexico City!

Margarita was an amazing host and we had a cooking lesson at her very beautiful house. She showed us how to make a full course meal including how to make a lovely sauce as well as a very simple but delicous dessert. She also gave us some wine while we ate which was a lovely Mexican White wine. The process was easy to follow and we plan to use almost everything we learned again to cook back home. I would highly recommend her and thank you Margarita for showing us a lovely time.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your time with Margarita in her beautiful home. It sounds like you had a fantastic experience learning how to prepare a delicious full course Mexican meal, from the flavorful sauce to the simple yet delightful dessert. We're also glad you enjoyed sharing the meal with a lovely local white wine. It's especially rewarding to know that the recipes were easy to follow and that you'll be recreating them back home. That's exactly the kind of lasting memory we hope every guest takes away from our experiences. Thank you again for your kind recommendation. We hope to welcome you on another Traveling Spoon culinary adventure in the future!

Wonderful Cooking Class

Margarita’s cooking class: We had a wonderful time cooking at Margarita’s home and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mexico City. Her home is beautiful and located in a lovely part of the city, creating the perfect setting for an authentic and memorable afternoon. From the moment we arrived, Margarita was warm, attentive, and highly professional. More than just a cooking class, this felt like an invitation into Mexican culture and family life. Being welcomed into her home gave us the opportunity to learn not only about Mexican cuisine, but also about the traditions, values, and stories that surround it. Margarita answered all of our questions thoughtfully and made sure everyone in our group had the chance to participate. She was especially wonderful with the kids, involving them throughout the process and teaching techniques in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. Margarita thoughtfully accommodated our dietary needs and tailored the menu to our group. For our class, we prepared sopes, cactus salad, chicken mole, Mexican white rice, and a delicious guava dessert. Every dish was flavorful, easy to recreate at home, and offered insight into traditional Mexican cooking. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and she shared countless tips and techniques that we will continue to use long after our vacation. There is a wonderful balance between cooking, learning, relaxing, and enjoying the food you prepare together. It never felt rushed, and we appreciated having time to savor both the meal and the experience. By the end of the afternoon, we felt as though we had spent time with a friend rather than simply attended a cooking class. Margarita’s kindness, generosity, and passion for sharing her culture made this one of the highlights of our trip. We would gladly do this again on a future visit to Mexico City.

Wonderful Cooking Class and Lunch

Margarita was a wonderful instructor and incredibly engaging. We cooked a full dinner with appetizers, main course, sides and dessert. The 2 salsas prepared beat anything we can buy in the states, and so simple. Getting to know her and cooking alongside her was a highlight of our stay.
