Mexican Cooking Class with Food Market Visit in Mexico City

Cooking class encouraged participation by all. As we participated were taught proper techniques for peeling , dicing, and even sharpening knives

We took the Mexican Street Food with Chef Eduardo Landa. The class incorporated a tour of a nearby market, which was highly enjoyable, and a great learning experience. This was followed with the instruction given by Chef Landa in a charming Mexican kitchen, and detailed instructions which produced a perfect pairing of street food meets fine dining experience. We can't say enough positive adjectives about this experience and the fun we had!!!! Exceeded expectations, and highly recommended!!!

We loved this cooking experience with Eduardo - he was so knowledgeable about the food we made together. He gave helpful tips and feedback as we cooked together. Plus the food was all extremely delicious. We made this soup that was unlike anything I’ve had. I could not recommend this experience enough. The market tour was really interesting we got to pick the produce together. At the end of the class, Eduardo gave us good tips and ideas for the rest of our time in Mexico!

A great experience with the chef! We recommend this very highly, best cooking class we have ever done.

Chef Eduardo was awesome. We (me and my daughter) made mole, a killer soup, veggie tacos. The food was amazing and the Chef's personality provided us an optimum customer experience. Kudos!!!

The market was very cool to see, and the food we made was delicious. Eduardo was the highlight of the experience though. He was funny, made us feel very comfortable, gave us amazing encouragement, and was a spectacular teacher. Highly recommend everybody take a class with him!

I've started to sign up for local cooking classes when I travel a few years ago, and I have to say that Eduardo and Gael at Mexican Food Tours have been my favorite instructors. Eduardo has a deep pedigree in fine dining but has adapted very well to working with amateur cooks. Gael is always on hand to help out as well. The class started with a visit to the local food market, where Eduardo seemed to know everyone. He provided some helpful instruction on how to choose ingredients, and made sure we tasted and smelled the ones that would be unusual to US and Canadian residents. After getting the supplies, we returned to the apartment where the class is held and worked on putting the meal together. Eduardo assigned individual tasks, but also made sure that we all had a chance to try to do some of the most important tasks for Mexican dining. A word of warning: making a tortilla is a lot harder than it looks, and Eduardo will not let you ear until you make a perfect tortilla. Speaking of eating: the food was exceptional, and a lot of that is because of the behind the scenes help that Eduardo and Gael provided. This ended up being a foodie weekend for me -- including the tacos omakase at Pujol -- but my favorite thing that I ate during my entire trip was the huitlacoche, tomato, and zucchini blossom tacos we made in class. I would definitely go back for another class.

Chef Eduardo Landa was great! Had a blast cooking with him and his sous chef, and learning a lot about Mexican cooking along the way. We made three delicious courses: tacos, soup ,and chicken mole. Also, I learned how to make perfect tortillas -- something I have failed many times on my own. Thank you Chef!

My boyfriend and I make it a point to take cooking classes in every city we visit, and now they all have to live up to this one! Chef Eduardo is a rock star - he was funny, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and he taught us new cooking skills and >>a lot<< about Mexican cuisine. We took this class a week ago, and we're still raving about how much we loved it. Do it!

We absolutely loved the experience. Our chef/guide Eduardo was charismatic and adjusted his routine to our skill level. The market trip was full of tips/tricks for choosing produce wisely. Once back in the kitchen, the tips continued and techniques explored/explained. I’m impressed with the whole evening… Can’t wait to do it all again!
