Mexican Cooking Classes

Take a culinary trip across Mexico with chef Ayrton Ruvalcaba and this series of Mexican cooking classes in Ajijic.

These classes are currently on hold, but you might be in touch with Ayrton in case he’s planning more in the future. He’d likely be open to private group classes, too.

Ayrton is the chef at Dharma, which specializes in Mexican and Asian cuisine. Each cooking class starts at 2 p.m. with a discussion about the history of the recipe and is followed by an in-depth demonstration. You’ll be taken through each step of the recipe, with lots of back and forth between you and the chef along the way.

It ends with everyone eating what they just made and includes a free drink from the bar.

Previous classes include pozole, caldo tlalpeño, caldo de albóndigas, caldo espinazo, Nayarit-style seafood cocktail, chiles en nogada, enchiladas suizas, mole and enmoladas, tacos de pastor, and vegan tacos with Mexican fillings.

Classes are limited to 20 people. The cost is $650 pesos per class, with group discounts for five or more people at $490. Register for classes by calling 332-794-6101, emailing dharmaajijic@gmail.com or messaging via Facebook.
