★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 235 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $70Our pick

Oaxaca City vegetarian cooking class with a market walk for local ingredients, hands-on mole and salsas, and a shared lunch.

“First, Quetzal took us to a small Mercado which was not crowded. This allowed her to show us different types of fruit and vegetables without being in anyone’s way. We tasted quesilla and bought 2 types for our meal. We walked back to Etnofood with our purchases and went to the kitchen space. She gave clear instructions to each of us on what to prepare. For our class, we made a soup and memelas, so we cut vegetables and pressed masa. The food was delicious, and it was a great way to learn about Oaxacan flavors.”
