★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $160

Spend about three hours in Alex and Ale’s Mexico City apartment, preparing three or four Mexican dishes such as picadillo tostadas, enmoladas, flautas, salsa, and sweet corn cake. This private English-language class includes drinks, dinner, taxes, and gratuities.

“I was a little skeptical to participate in a cooking lesson in a foreign country on the first night, but it was AMAZING. I would definitely recommend this as a first night in Mexico City event. The hosts Alex and Ali were so gracious (and patient) while we cooked a phenomenal meal of salsas, flautas, and a delicious corn cupcake. This event was really the highlight of our trip. The hosts answered so many of our questions about Mexican cooking and general travel tips. If I come back to Mexico City, this will definitely be on our list. It was a surprise for my partner, and she had a blast.”

Every so often they’d move it but then nothing. We sat so long every other boat left. That’s when they finally started the show which was akin to ghost stories around the campfire.

There was congestion on the drive back and people…”
