We started with a tour at the local market where Oscar introduced us to the local greens, fruits and other flavours. Once we head back to the Restourant we cooked about 5 different dishes from starters to dessert. Eventually the group was a bit too big for having a completely understanding, but overall it worth it!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 238 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $79

Cancun market visit and hands-on Mexican cooking class at Mercado 23, making tortillas, sopes, enchiladas, and a margarita.

“The tour and cooking class was good. We were shown around Mercado 23 and got to spend time by ourselves checking things out and buying anything we may have wanted. Diego was very nice and knowledgeable. Only downside was there was no one else with us. These types of a activities would be fun as a group, but I guess you book these things not ever fully knowing if there will be other people. I still recommend it. It was fun and the knowledge you take away from it is good.”

On the way to her beautiful home we stopped to pick up freshly ground corn for the tamales we learned how to cook. Minerva walked us through the whole process aided by her daughter and crew. Her daughter treated us to a refreshing drink and we also tried Oaxacan chocolate milk.”
