“Fun class that gave us a unique perspective on sustainable cooking in Oaxaca. Loved visiting the market, though it was almost closed down for the evening so I wonder if the morning session would be more interesting. Learned several fun recipes including a delicious mole with several local herbs we’d never tried before.”

2.Mexico City Vegan & Vegetarian Street Food Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 176 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $95

Taste Mexico City’s best vegan street food, walk four neighborhoods, and get local tips on this generous small-group food tour.

“reat way to find veggie-friendly street food in CDMX! I felt I was missing out on street food not knowing where to go, and this tour gave me the chance to try a lot! Our guide, Sharon, was really friendly and passionate, kept us moving at a good pace, and I love that we got to some off-the-beaten path places I never would have found.

Good way to meet like-minded people as a solo traveller. Be prepared…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 139 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $70

Shop Oaxaca’s local market, cook traditional vegetarian dishes, and share a mezcal-accompanied meal in a small four-person class.

“Our cooking class with Chef Victor was amazing, one of the highlights of our trip! First because it felt very authentic. Victor seems like he has genuine relationships with people at the market. He is a proud Oaxacan who learned some of his best recipes from his grandma and who talks about local food and ingredients with knowledge and passion. He speaks English very well but is easy to understand in Spanish as well. He's a very chill and friendly guy, who'll happily talk about life in Mexico or give local recommendations. The food was delicious, with a great variety of dishes and lovely complimentary drinks. No advanced cooking skills…”

On top of that, the food was amazing and Mena was able to share a lot about how the food was prepared and the cultural and historic background of the dishes. Mena also shared her very insightful and honest views on current trends in Mexico, which we really appreciated.”
