Our gastro-cultural experience starts off with a brief introduction to the essential flavors and ingredients of Mexican cuisine, follow by a mezcal tasting, where we will learn, superficially, about its main characteristics and the right way to taste it. Then, in an ambiance full of joy, music and laughter, we will prepare a full menu with sides, salsa and fruit water "agua fresca" The preparation of tortillas and quesadillas is from scratch, as well as quesadillas, for which we always use artisanal cheese. By the end of the class, we sit down in one table to share the food we just prepared and the experience itself!
