9 reviewed
Pepián, jocon, rellenitos, and a chuchito eaten standing up at ten at night. These 9 classes and food walks put you at the comal: which cook in a family kitchen, which crawl the stalls around Parque Central after dark, how many dishes you make, and whether dinner is included at the end.

“I cannot rave more about this tour. Highly RECOMMEND, please don’t hesitate to book this. Our guide, Jay Jay was super knowledgeable, engaging and well respected in the community. We went deep into the Guatemalan culture to some great restaurants and were welcomed by the lovely and friendly owners. He gave us access to a part of the culture that we wouldn’t have otherwise and for that, I am grateful. I would tour over and over again. Btw, the Chicken Bus ride was a wild but fun experience. I hope you enjoy. Kesha- NYC”

“The cooking class was amazing. Maritza met me outside my hotel and soon after we went to the market where she got fresh products for the lunch. We took a chicken bus over to her place and started cooking Pepián! She was extremely kind, and offered Jamaica and her homemade chips with beans and queso. I also had the chance to make some tortillas which was a fun experience as well. Her entire family is so kind and i recommend this cooking class to everyone!!!”
