Must do Oaxaca food tour!
We had such an excellent food tour experience with Aurora and Fatima. Honestly could not fault or recommend this enough - definite must if you’re in Oaxaca! The organisation was exceptional, from the booking process, communications, meet up, and even on the day where Fatima would proceed on to the next food/drink stop before us to ensure everything was already prepared and ready so as to keep the day as efficient as possible.

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.

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!

Perfect Mezcal Tour!

Mezcal Distilleries : Local Producers Palenque and Tasting
A2626DXronh, Aug 2026
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!

Mixology class with Mezcal in Oaxaca
Coco_S, Aug 2026
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!
