Tlacoyos and sopes are one of the most basic yet delicious Mexican “antojitos” they have been in our culture for centuries, even before the Aztecs ruled Tenochtitlan. Learning to make this carries a lot of cultural and historical significance and it’s a great way to understand where we came from. If you want to dive deep into our culture, learn about nixtamal, use a metate in a traditional way and get your hands on the masa to make these amazing dishes, this is the experience you need.

Meet our team in Roma Sur and take the subway to visit one of the most beautiful markets: Jamaica, also known as the flower market, there you’ll buy the ingredientes needed for your cooking lesson and flowers to decorate the table,  then head back to our cooking school and be ready to enjoy an amazing time cooking.
