Marktbesuch, handgemachte Tortillas & Salsas in Mexiko-Stadt

We met at a market, which was super easy to find. Then Veronica give me a little tour and show me how to pick the best produce. A short walk later we were at her house making the most delicious salsas and tortillas I have ever had. Vero was the best host I could’ve asked for. We talked about food. We talked about life. Her recipes were so tasty. She was super knowledgeable about everything. We need more experiences like this in the world.. I would definitely take this class again and again.

We got quite lucky with booking this experience during the quiet day of the week, and we essentially had a private salsa making lesson with Veronica. This tour is great if you like learning the fundamentals of salsa making. It was an educational experience. From the market visit, to our walk to the kitchen -- we felt immersed in a small part of Mexican culinary culture. We highly recommend this experience for all levels of home cooking experience, and we cannot wait to apply what we learned when we get back home to Australia.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was one of the highlights of my entire trip to Mexico City. I’ve taken cooking classes before, but this felt completely different because it took place in someone’s home rather than a commercial kitchen. It was warm, personal, and incredibly authentic. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was being welcomed into a family’s traditions instead of attending a tourist activity. As a vegan, I also appreciated how accommodating and knowledgeable she was. Every dish was thoughtfully adapted without feeling like an afterthought, and I learned techniques and ingredients that I’ll actually use when I get home. More than just following recipes, I came away understanding why Mexican food is made the way it is—its history, its ingredients, and the care that goes into preparing it. It gave me a much deeper appreciation for the cuisine than I could have gotten from restaurants alone. The pace was relaxed, there was plenty of hands-on cooking, and sharing the meal together at the end made the whole experience feel even more special. If you’re deciding between another sightseeing activity and this class, choose the class. It gave me memories I’ll carry home long after the museums and landmarks. I would recommend it without hesitation.

I can’t recommend Veronica’s Salsa and Tortillas class enough. My husband and I have different levels of cooking experience, and the class was incredibly accessible for both of us. Veronica is a fantastic teacher. Everything was clearly explained without ever feeling overwhelming. The experience was thoughtfully paced from start to finish, from selecting ingredients at the market to making four delicious salsas in her beautiful home. Every salsa was excellent, and we left full, happy, and confident we could make them again ourselves. The class flew by, which says a lot because cooking classes aren’t usually my husband’s thing. He left talking about the salsas he wants to make at home for me. It ended up being one of our favorite experiences in Mexico City, and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting.

Very engaging session, with tips on picking ingredients and cooking techniques. Also great overall conversation (in english and in spanish)

The class with Veronica was awesome. It felt very personal and we got lucky because it was just us in the class. I told her I was dying to get a molcajete and she helped me pick one from a vendor she knew when we went to the market. I could tell she is really passionate about food like me and enjoys transmitting her culture through the class. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing salsa and so much fun!

Very good experience and delicious food. Started Market buying ingredients and went to her home to cook

It was a unique experience. Veronica is very nice and studied to be a chef - the course was very interesting and she explained a lot to us. The recipes were excellent!! We really enjoyed the experience of going to the market then making the recipes in his apartment, and being just our family. A unique experience! We recommend.

This was a great experience! We loved getting to go through the market with a local, and learn from her family's recipes for salsa. I would highly recommend this experience!
