What to expect

See an iconic Mexican dish in a completely new way after this multi-variety tamal-making workshop.

At the beautiful Condesa home of your knowledgeable guide, learn about the dizzying diversity of the world of Mexican tamales before rolling up your sleeves and preparing two different versions of this iconic favorite from scratch.

Just over an hour later, set the table with beautiful, locally-made dinnerware and enjoy a classic green tamal with its tangy tomatillo salsa filling, as well as a lesser-known fresh corn tamal, which you'll serve with a topping of smoky chipotle salsa and sour cream.

Most dietary requirements can be accommodated. Wheelchair users have attended the class before, but the building doesn't have an elevator. Allergy sufferers should know there are two cats in the house. Travelers taking their class on the rooftop of the art gallery must check their inbox after booking for details of the location. Guests should be aware that others may pay less for the same experience by booking via the Martaja website.
