Mexican Food Tours

Jose was absolutely thorough in explaining the recipes, their history and how they relate culturally! Highest recommendation possible

It wasn't a class it was a food tour and it was great fun. I had a private guide as no one else had signed up for the Monday tour which was very nice. My guide was full of information about the food and the neighbourhood, and the food was delicious!

Chef Eduardo Landa made the experience so enjoyable interesting and fun. The venue and menus all great. Thank you!

I take cooking classes in every country I go to. This was genuinely the best experience I’ve ever had. Eduardo explained things so well, was receptive of my spice tolerance and dietary restrictions, and was just a fun person to be around. The food was obviously unbelievable. The mole with chicken, and then the salsa we made… everything was 10/10, and a meal that I will ALWAYS remember..

Erin was amazing. Guiding us through the market was such a great experience. Her expertise on teaching us to cook the food is something we will be taking home with us. This was a highlight of our trip!

All the experience was just great. We started with a trip to the local market to buy all the ingredients we needed for the meal. Eduardo, being born and raised in Mexico City knew many of the people there, which made the experience really authentic. He also told us much about the backgrounds of these local markets. While preparing the meal, we learned a ton of stuff not only about the local food traditions but also about the chemical and physical processes which take place during cooking and prepared a 3 course meal together with Eduardo. The best part, of course, was then eating what we cooked: It was **delicious** :) So all in all this was really one of the best things we did so far during our vacation in here in Mexico. I can only recommend doing this to everyone interested in food and cooking culture! :)

This was my husbands and I first cooking class in another country and now we are inspired to do it every time we travel! Eduardo was such a fun and skilled professional we had the best time at the market picking out supplies. It was such a hands on experience with making the tortillas and the attention to details for the meal to come together. Highly recommend!

We had a great time with Chef Raul during the market tour and cooking class in the Juarez neighborhood. He explained and introduced us to all sorts of local ingredients, many of which we used in our cooking. We made fresh salsa, pressed tortillas, quesadillas, sweet tamales, and mole with chicken. The class was hands on and was fun for even my husband who doesn’t cook. We left very full and happy

Great experience!

I would want to thank the chef and sous chef. An amazing evening.

The entire experience with Eduardo was great! The market tour to start was a great way to understand the ingredients, cuisine and overall insight into the Mexican cooking culture. We then had the opportunity to make many delicious meals - vegetable tacos (including cactus!), bean and sausage soup, along with a chicken mole dish all with freshly made guac, salsa and tortillas - yum! Eduardo was a very informative and helpful guide who provided us beginners with some very useful tips. The only thing to note is that we booked a 3 hour class and it lasted close to 4, which was fine with our schedule but something to note if you’re tight on time! Overall, I’d highly recommend this for any beginner or advanced food lovers!

At the end of our class, Eduardo told us that, when he was younger, he was taught that if he has a litre of water and you have none, then you both have half a litre. This spirit and ethos could not be more true of Eduardo's warm and enthusiastic approach to teaching the art of Mexican cuisine. What we didn't realise when we booked the class was that Eduardo comes with more than a wealth of experience, having cooked in Michelin starred restaurants and with some of the literally best chefs in the world. From the market tour to the cooking to the discussions about the heritage of Mexican food and culture to his astonishing plating, Eduardo is, in a word, simple amazing. For anyone visiting Mexico, a class with him isn't a must, it is a necessity.

Eduardo “Lalo” was an absolutely wonderful guide and teacher for our day. He had incredible knowledge and experience of the ingredients and how to instruct us around the kitchen. He was able to really give us an experience of Mexican culture through the tastes and scents of the food while laughing and enjoying the whole way. We can’t wait to cook up a storm for everyone back home and share everything we learned. Would HIGHLY recommend. Thank you thank you Lalo!!

We had a great time shopping, learning from and cooking with Eduardo. He's a great guy in general, a professional chef, and a good teacher. The class was in a cute space and he took us through the whole process- how to select ingredients, prep efficiently, and cook with a number of different skills. He is passionate about Mexican food traditions and the recipes he created were delicious, used interesting ingredients, and he sent them to us afterwards! Everything I could have wanted from the experience, thanks Eduardo!

Eduardo was full of local history and cooking knowledge. We had a great day cooking and hanging out. Eduardo will meet you at your level and the food was authentic and amazing!

Eduardo is an absolute Professional. He definitely is a passionate, enthusiastic and humerous Chef. We learned an amazing amount about mexican cuisine and how to cook it which was the most important goal for us. Thank you again Eduardo - you made this a truly exceptional experience for us and we will continue to recommend you to everyone wanting the same experience!!

As a Mexican I learned an awful lot about my country's cuisine, it blew my mind. Chef Lalo is an amazing teacher, and the menu he created for the season is delicious and easy to replicate at home! It included two kinds of veggie tacos with two salsas (including a perfect guacamole), DELICIOUS Frijoles Charros with habanero and mint, as well as hoja santa tostadas with mole and chicken. All ingredients were selected from the local market, only a few steps away from where the class takes place. The location is cozy and beautiful, I totally recommend this class!

Eduardo is a knowlegdeable and highly empathic chef, from the beginning he perfectly understood to adapt the environment to our personal preferences. Food was great and we definitely enjoyed the cooking experience in a casual atmosphere. The house and venue are just amazing!

Excellent

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! We started the class with a visit to a local market and loved learning how to pick the best ingredients to be used in Mexican culinary. During the class, I learned a lot of techniques from the expert himself, Chef Eduardo, in cooking from simple to complex instruction especially in preparing the salsa. The community was great as well and the place also the staffs were all accommodating. It was a fun adventure! The best part is I brought home the food recipe I made! A must try course!

Yum! We worked with no less than a half dozen types of chile, and it was delicious! We had a fantastic day with Eduardo and thoroughly enjoyed purchasing the ingredients for the dishes at the market, as well as learning how to prepare them. Leaning how to roast the various chiles over a flame was a highlight. The kitchen that the chef typically uses wasn't available so we traveled to a private home for our class and Eduardo did an exceptional job of instructing us and putting together a beautiful meal in a kitchen that was new to him. There were only two of us and the experience of a private class was great. Eduardo is very experienced, funny, and it was a pleasure to take a class with him! I highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants to learn about Mexican ingredient and cuisine.

The day was great, we had a small group of 5 of us. The ingredients were picked out at a local market. Then we went back and started cooking. The Chef, Eduardo, was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. It was a very practical class, and everyone got involved. Would definitely recommend.

I loved learning the cultural history of the dishes as well as the techniques.
