Experience Oaxacan Cuisine the best way possible...
with a Local Oaxacan Family!
My name is Alfonso. My inspiration for hosting a space for cooking classes in Oaxaca stems from my love for Mexican food which began when cooking with my parents, grandma and cocineras tradicionales (traditional cooks, usually women) from my hometown when I was a young child.
I studied in a culinary school in Oaxaca city and have a bachelor degree in teaching Spanish and English language, which led me to begin offering Spanish classes in Oaxaca. My curiosity, enthusiasm and experience in cooking Mexican food drove me to open our cooking school at home with my parents in 2015.
They have taught and shown me many techniques of cooking traditional Oaxacan food and I have got more experience in Mexican cuisine from past employment in different restaurants across the city, especially in Oaxacan cuisine.
The best way to learn about traditional Oaxacan Cuisine is to experience it! Que Rico es Oaxaca offers interactive cooking classes in Oaxaca that offer a fun and exciting way to learn traditional Mexican culinary techniques while also enjoying the richest ingredients Oaxaca has to offer.
Oaxacan cuisine is well known for its unique, warm flavors and foods. And Mexicans are known for their rich culture, timeless traditions, and friendliness. We can’t wait to share our kitchen and our heritage with you during your special visit in Oaxaca.

Wir haben einen Kochkurs bei „Que Rico es Oaxaca“ gemacht – und es war wirklich ein rundum großartiges Erlebnis. Eine ganz klare Empfehlung! Gestartet sind wir gemeinsam auf dem Markt, wo wir viel über die verschiedenen Chilisorten gelernt haben. Zusammen haben wir die frischen Zutaten für unseren späteren Kochkurs eingekauft. Wir waren eine angenehm kleine Gruppe (8 Personen) wodurch alles sehr persönlich und entspannt war. Alfonso ist wirklich ein unglaublich netter, offener Mensch, bei dem man sich sofort willkommen fühlt. Gekocht haben wir gemeinsam mit seiner Mutter, seiner Freundin und seinem Vater. Neben dem Kochen gab es jede Menge zusätzliches Entertainment: Wir haben ein bisschen Salsa getanzt, Mezcal probiert und natürlich viele richtig leckere Gerichte zubereitet und gemeinsam gegessen. Alles in allem eine hundertprozentige Empfehlung! Außerdem haben wir mit Alfonsos Schwester („Me Encanta Oaxaca“) eine Streetfood-Tour gemacht, die wir ebenfalls zu 100 % weiterempfehlen können. Beide Erlebnisse sind absolut großartig – und wer die Zeit hat, sollte auf jeden Fall beides machen! ☺️

Oaxaca is rich in culture and this specific cooking class is an excellent way to be a part of the beauty, depth and history that Oaxaca has to offer. Alfonso and team are incredibly well equipped to ensure a fun experience which is rewarding for everyone involved. We were a group of ten including two kids, and everyone left impressed and happy after the class. We’ve taken cooking classes in many countries and thought this was extremely well structured and run.

Wonderful cooking class. Lots of fun shopping in the local market, learning about chiles, cooking Chef's recipes, dancing and joking with Chef's delightful Papa, and-of course- sampling mescal with traditional toastings.

A fantastic, authentic experience. A warm welcome is assured. From picking the ingredients in the market, to the friendly greeting at the family home, the dance class, and the wonderful, delicious food, the whole experience is one I highly recommend.

This experience was our highlight of Oaxaca City. Alfonso was very informative about his cuisine and had a great sense of humour too. The food we cooked together was delicious, accompanied by a few mezcalitas! This is experience is worth every penny and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you to Alfonso and his family!
