What to expect

In just 3 hours, visit a traditional market in Mexico City and learn how to make authentic Mexican salsas in a hands-on cooking workshop. A flavorful, fast-paced experience for food lovers!

We’ll start the experience in front of the iconic Palacio de Bellas Artes, then walk to the nearby 2 de Abril Market, the oldest public market in Mexico City. There, we’ll take a brief but vibrant walk through the stalls to discover different types of chiles, spices, and essential local ingredients.

Next, we’ll head to a private cooking studio, where you’ll take part in a practical salsa-making workshop. You’ll prepare three different salsas using traditional Mexican techniques such as fire-roasting, stone grinding, and blending.

We’ll finish the workshop with a tasting session, where you’ll sample your creations alongside totopos and a Mexican snacks to taste flavor profiles: spicy, sweet, smoky, and citrusy.

Take home a jar of your favorite salsa and a digital recipe book to recreate the flavors back home.
