Tucked into Old City Philadelphia, this hands-on Mexican fiesta cooking class turns a night out into a full culinary adventure. Guests press and cook their own corn tortillas, char peppers and tomatoes for a smoky salsa tatemada, and whip up a fresh salsa de tomatillo before moving on to sizzling carne asada, esquites, and frijoles refritos. Every dish on the menu is naturally gluten free, so there is plenty to dig into without a second thought.

Complimentary wine flows throughout the evening (non-alcoholic options are available too), and the chef keeps things loose and hands-on from start to finish. Whether it is a date night, a birthday, or a night out with friends, this Philadelphia cooking class wraps education, good food, and a genuinely fun atmosphere into one memorable evening.
