You'll be surprised to find yourself in a local and off-the-beaten-path market where the walls are covered in murals from the 30s. You will learn about the history of this particular tianguis and you'll have a morning snack! Depending on availability, you'll try tamales, atole, cafe de olla or a delicious and fresh fruit cocktail.

We will ride the subway from Historical Downtown to Mercado de Jamaica. You'll try a quesadilla or a sope at a local food stall. You will also have a small tasting of different mole pastes.
Immerse yourself in the culture of tianguis and your guide will explain their context in contemporary Mexico. After eating, you'll walk through the massive array of flowers in Mercado de Jamaica. It is the largest flower market in the city, after all!

Once you have stolled through the flower-covered corridors, choose the ingredients you want to use for your salsa. Your guide will explain the basics.
Head over to our favourite family-run eatery and have Don Fernando teach you how to make proper salsa. 

Once you have gotten the ropes of how to make the best salsa, enjoy your creation with a homemade huarache-- a stuffed "dumpling" that is filled with refried beans, flattened and grilled. This is topped with your yummy salsa and some grilled nopales (cactus)
Thirsty? Try the agua fresca.
