You can choose between a Yucatan 'Cochinita' themed menu, or a Central Mexico 'Birria' and 'Rajas' themed menu. We'll discuss your choices upon booking.
Do you have a vegetarian version?
Yes, we have both meat and vegetarian recipes in the workshop.
We will also collect dietary information from you before hand to design the right team / menu mix
How spicy is the food we'll eat?
Not that spicy! We've purposefully selected dishes and curated the recipes to make them not overly spicy to suit broad tastes. If you do like your food really spicy, or want even less spice, you can always control this by serving yourself more or less salsa!
How are dietary needs such as allergies handled?
We collect dietary information beforehand to check if any participant has an allergy or intolerance
