The best way to learn about traditional Oaxacan Cuisine is to experience it! Cooking class is an interactive cooking workshop run by a local family that offers a fun and exciting way to learn traditional Mexican cuisine while also enjoying drinks and sharing different tasks. This class is hands-on and collaborative. You will prepare the dishes as a group, each person sharing responsibility for different steps in preparation of the 3 course meals that you will enjoy together with complementary mezcalitas. The course meals includes: two types of salsa, one starter , one main meal and one dessert. Menu selection takes place as a group before we enter the market in the city. Most meals can be adapted to vegetarian or vegan options with advance notice. We will buy Fresh corn dough " Masa nixtamalizada" for tortillas and the base of the starter. However the rest of the meals are prepared from scratch. After shopping and visiting the market, there is private transportation to a local home and trip back to the meet up location at centro.

Lucy and I had such a fantastic day with Alfonso and his family. From the very start it felt like a truly authentic experience – visiting the local market to shop for fresh ingredients, learning traditional cooking techniques in their family home, and of course enjoying the delicious food we made together. Alfonso was a brilliant host, warm, knowledgeable, and full of energy. His parents were so welcoming and fun – especially Alfonso Sr., who kept us laughing throughout. The atmosphere was relaxed, hands-on, and really gave us a sense of local Oaxacan life. We even got to share some music and dancing, which made the day even more special. This wasn’t just a cooking class – it was a cultural experience, and one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico. If you’re in Oaxaca and want to do something authentic, personal, and memorable, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough!

Amazing day of food and drink and fun. The pick up point was a little confusing but after that it was an excellent day. Great food, great company, and so informative as well as fun. Food allergies were catered too and never felt like it was a problem for it to be arranged/altered. Highly recommend this!

Excellent experience with Alfonso and his family in their own home and kitchen. We did a lot of different dishes and learned about Oaxaca food and culture as their kitchen is decorated with beautiful local craft and symbols.

This was the first time in our travels that we did a cooking class and it will be an experience that’s etched in our memory. Alfonso and his family opened their kitchen to us and taught us the nuances of Oaxacan cooking. Right from shopping for the ingredients in the market to the three course meal it was SIMPLY THE BEST!!

Alfonzo designed a great experience beginning with a visit to a local market to pick up ingredients, then a van ride to his parents house where we had access to a full kitchen and dining area to make a three course meal. Everyone got to try a hand at different aspects of the cooking with Alfonzo expertly guided us all to produce a delicious three course meal. The tequila and mezcal flowed freely during the cooking creating a party atmosphere, and while the group was primarily younger travelers I had a great time as an older solo woman traveler even without taking a drink! There was even an impromptu salsa class from Alfonzo's father. This is perfect for you if you are looking for a social learning experience in a safe, fun setting. You get the recipes afterwards, so even tho we might not have caught every nuance of the steps, we can try it again at home. Well done, highly recommended.

My wife and I went with our adult daughter who said it was the most fun thing that we did on our trip to Oaxaca and Mexico City. Alfonso is wonderful, his mom is sweet, and his father is a total character. We started by shopping in the market and buying the freshest ingredients to make chicken in red mole. Honestly it was one of the best meals we had in Mexico! Met some great folks from Europe and Australia, drank some delicious Margaritas that we made ourselves and we all contributed to the meal in Alfonso's kitchen. Best of all we learned to make mole, dine with wonderful strangers, and for me, be on the receiving end of many of Papa's practical jokes, which I got a kick out of. VERY FUN!! So glad we did it.

Definitely book this class! We started off at the Mercado with Chef Alfonso to buy our ingredients. He then drove us to his house where is funny father greeted us. I learned how to make a molo and so many other dishes, including the best margaritas I have ever had. There were 9 people in our class, and we all did different tasks. Afterwards we sat and enjoyed a wonderful dinner with such fun people.

This was an absolute highlight for us! The whole experience from going to the market, being driven to their home to meet the family who you’ll learn traditional meals with, and then to eating the most delicious food was amazing!
