The tour is sanitary, adventurous, and full of engaging history. The first part of the tour is all eating, then the 2nd and 3rd part is exploration (with a mezcal tasting at the end!). Wonderfully planned out. Toured with 5 other folks plus Oscar. He was an amazing tour guide who spoke loud enough, answered our silly questions, and always looked out for locals and us. If you're on the fence or anything, just buy the tour. You'll have fun. I had already been in CDMX for 7 days and this was one of my favorites.

Now I understand more about my favorite food

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!

I have taken many food tours and cooking classes, and this was my absolute favorite ever! The entire experience is very special. The class started with a tour of a very local market and was held in Natalia’s beautiful home. The day finished with us enjoying the best salsas I’ve ever tasted in my life. Thank you for a magical day!

Natalia was an excellent instructor. We walked through the market place, and she talked about how to pick up the best vegetables. She encouraged me to speak Spanish since I need the practice. Her kitchen is not far from the market maybe about 5 minutes. She was warm and friendly to talk to and clear on what we should be doing at any given time. The tasks were organized. She clearly had taught before. She informed us of the history of the burrito. The burrito was excellent. She precooked the beef to speed things along, but we made fresh guacamole, cut up the vegetables and tortillas from scratch. There was so much food! We only were able to eat one burrito each, but made three tortillas. She wanted to send us home with the rest, but unfortunately our hotel didn't have any way of storing and reheating the ingredients. We were given the instructions in a PDF, so we could replicate the burrito at home. This was my favorite cooking class that I have taken! So glad I found this class.

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..

The tour was a really great experience. The local fresh food market at the start was amazing. Such a great variety of foods (and coffee) to sample. The guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The second market was very unique and fun to see. The final market offers items that you truly won't find anywhere else. The mezcal tasting at the end was the perfect way to cap off a fantastic tour. The guide (Ho) was very friendly and his knowledge was A+. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a less touristy tour that goes where the locals go.

It was great. It was just the two of us with the guide who told us all we need to know about Mezcal. We drank one shot of pulque and 10 shots of Mezcal! (proper full size shots). It was so interesting to discover such a range of flavours. I highly recommend.

Our tour was delightful in every way! Joseph was the perfect tour guide -- he was so helpful, kind, smart, accommodating and funny. We loved learning about the different food selections we ate, but it was a big added bonus to hear his insights about the Roma neighborhood in general -- its history, character, highlights, etc. I thought the mix of foods and restaurant types was perfect -- we had a very nice variety of tastes and food types, without being uncomfortably full at the end. Loved everything about the tour experience!

One of the best tours I’ve done in Mexico City! The host Ivan leads you through three wildly different markets to explore the authentic (and wonderfully chaotic) side of the city. It was great to sample local street foods as well as more adventurous items like insects. The Sonora Market was especially unique, with its stories of mysticism and superstition. All in all, a must-do in CDMX!

This was one of, if not the best, tour we have ever done! It was fast paced with tons of tastings and fun facts about each. Orson was our guide and he was great! The communication before the tour was also excellent. We visited a couple of markets and went from stall to stall learning about different ingredients. We got to taste 6 different kinds of mole powder, a couple fruits, coffee, tamale, taco, quesadilla, fresh tortilla, and tamarind flavors. We got to smell/touch several other unique ingredients and at the witch market we all got a small amulet. We missed the last market because we had a flight to catch so we missed a couple of tastings. The tour included absolutely everything, including hand sanitizer, and the entrance fee for the nicest bathroom in the market. There was never any pressure to buy anything and we really didn't linger anywhere long enough even if we wanted to. There were a couple "sit down" snacks where we got a chance to get off our feet while we watch the food be preped.

Great overall, and I don't write that lightly. The guide knew so much and was very attentive in leading the group though the difficult logistics of the markets. So much food & drink included which means that the price is really a value to tours that might cost less up-front, but are probably not so 'all-inclusive'.

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! :)

Joseph is a standout guide. In contrast to some other guides I’ve met, he was thorough, thoughtful and energetic to answer every question and try to make us understand not only what we were sampling but how the place was chosen and something of the owner’s heritage, philosophy or role in the community. He added history, architecture and culture to the mix for an afternoon that was completely satisfying both gastronomically and intellectually. Highly recommend.
