## FAQ

**Should I choose a market cooking class or a salsa workshop in Mexico City?**

Choose Market & Cooking in Lucia's Home for a market visit and seasonal meal; choose Learn to Cook Mexican Salsas for a focused lesson in salsas and quesadillas. For example, Market & Cooking in Lucia's Home: 4.97 from 59 reviews, €126 per person; its menu varies with the season. Learn to Cook Mexican Salsas: 4.97 from 72 reviews, €87 per person; the lesson covers salsas and quesadillas. Both examples are private classes. Explore private cooking classes: https://guidekin.com/mexico/mexico-city/cooking-classes-mexico-city/?tour_type=private

**How much time and money should I allow for a Mexico City cooking class?**

Filter first, then confirm with the operator; Private Cooking with Historian Lucia accepts strollers and infants. 3 of 18 classes are operator-marked accessible: filter first, then confirm with the operator.
