Oaxacan Vegetarian Cooking Class
euniceaZ9083UL, Sep 2026
An unforgettable, hands-on introduction to Oaxacan cuisine
This vegetarian cooking class with Chef Victor was one of the highlights of my trip to Oaxaca. Victor's knowledge of Oaxacan cuisine and indigenous Zapotec culture is exceptional, and it was a genuine pleasure to learn from him.The class started with a trip to a local market, where we sampled local products (chocolate, cheese, fruits) and heard about their history and production. From there, we got fully hands-on making mole, guacachile, several salsas, rice, and tortillas from scratch, with Victor explaining the story and technique behind every dish.The atmosphere was fun and relaxed (with plenty of mezcal along the way!). There were only three of us in the session, which made it feel personal. Victor even taught us a few words in Zapotec, which was a lovely touch. By the end, we had an enormous spread of food in front of us, and every single dish was delicious.All the staff at Etnofoods were fantastic, and the whole experience felt like exceptional value for money.One thing worth flagging: this class is rooted in indigenous Zapotec cuisine, which is naturally plant-based, so vegetarians and meat-eaters alike will get a completely authentic experience — no one is missing out here!Highly recommend, and I'd book without hesitation.

AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local.

Un maravilloso tour de comida en Oaxaca
We had the best culinary experience with Eli and Yetsi for the 6 hour Authentic Oaxaca Cultural Food Tour. We stopped at food carts, an atoleria, and several of the markets, including the Benito Juarez and 20 de Noviembre markets, and sampled a huge variety of foods including tacos, memelas, empanadas, tlayudas, grilled meats, insects, local fruits, desserts, and traditional drinks including atoles, tejate, and espresso from local coffee beans. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the interweaving of Oaxaca’s history, culture, and foods, and are very happy to support a women-owned and operated business. The logistics of this tour were flawless, as one of the señoras went ahead to each stop to have it ready for us, and we also felt there was great care and attention to food and beverage safety, so we had no concerns in that area. This tour was a great way to start off our 6 day stay in Oaxaca, and I’d strongly recommend that anyone visiting Oaxaca take this tour near the beginning of their stay to get oriented to the markets and places to eat!

Amazing food and an education on Oaxacan life
The vegetarian cooking class was a highlight of my visit to Oaxaca. Victor, the chef/instructor, explained the history of the largely plant-based cuisine of the region, and shared memories of his grandmother’s traditional cooking. Besides helping to prepare (and eat) delicious food with layers of flavors, I received an excellent lesson on Oaxacan culture. Highly recommended!

A Wonderful Oaxaca Cooking Experience!!
A wonderful way to spend a morning in Oaxaca. Miguel and Jose are so kind, teaching you every step, from making homemade tortillas all the way to mole. They offer as much or as little info as you want. A favorite experience of ours in Mexico!The setting is a beautiful outdoor kitchen and garden with two of the sweetest dogs for additional company!

Highlight of the trip
We had high expectations for this tour and they were absolutely exceeded. The market tour was very informational and we even got to see where maiz is processed. The cooking experience in Minerva Lopez’s home was absolutely incredible since she has so much knowledge to share. Overall a major highlight of our trip and we hope to return soon!

Amazing time with Minerva and team!
Rare and wonderful! Sandy our guide and Tonya Minerva’s daughter picked us up and took us for a market tour. It was nice to see and have experienced guides for the market. Minerva’s outdoor kitchen was amazing. We love to cook and the food, ingredients and cooking methods were a great opportunity to learn so much more. We learned to make an amazing mole and to cook tortillas on the Comal. She shared with us her 8 year journey from a suggestion that she do a cooking class for a couple interested in learning local cooking methods to now with regular groups traveling through her home. Our experience for so special with Minerva and her team. We are particular about how we spend our time on vacation and prefer this mix of smaller, personal and local experience. We highly recommend!

Guided tour of an ancestral Mezcal distillery with transport

A highlight of our trip!
Our guides and the family behind the distillery are passionate about their work, and it shows in the care given on this tour. The information was very interesting, and Mariana had such a nice, enthusiastic energy in the telling. We enjoyed the history, the process of distillation, and learning about the different agaves. The mezcals we tasted were wonderful, very smooth, with such different “notes.” And we enjoyed different traditional snacks. Highly recommend!

Perfect Mezcal Tour!

Mezcal Distilleries : Local Producers Palenque and Tasting

Perfect Mezcal Tour!
We had an amazing time on this mezcal tour with Daniel and it was a great value for the money spent. We were able to visit three different artisanal distilleries/palenques and sample a wide variety of excellent mezcals. The process of making mezcal was shown at the first palenque along with the wide variety of agave plants and then we sampled some product, purchasing a bottle at each palenque! We definitely started to feel inebriated after the second visit, but were confident we were safe being escorted by Daniel and we were certainly glad we did not attempt to do this on our own! We also had time to stop for a good authentic lunch in between. Daniel is a very personable, kind and reliable young man who does his best to deliver a positive tour experience. We highly recommend this mezcal tour and are grateful for the memorable day!

Great experience
We reserved a Mezcal Mixology three hours before the class, and IT DID NOT disappoint! Diego is a great and fun teacher that takes you from basics, we did three drinks and the last one you get to create your own using the skills you just learnt. We were mixing dancing and laughing in the classroom, and the drinks were AMAZING 🤩 Highly recommend!

Oaxacan Craft Beer Experience

Beer lovers, UNITE!
My boyfriend managed to find the perfect experience for us (we are both absolute beer lovers). There was not a single beer we didn’t like (some more than others, though my favorite was this Porter called Portfirio) It is literally a whole in the wall, the place was empty and we had the owners to ourselves and learned more than we bargained for. Maryrose, again, was so hospitable and an absolute delight. On our last visit, in july, we went with a group of friends and we went on the Tip Top Tacos and Seafood for you tours, both of them amazing as well!Go on at least on tour with our girl! you will not regret it! It's a whole other way to get to know and see more beyond the typical tours in Huatulco. Can't wait to go on our next little adventure with Maryrose this fall :)
