Then try your hand at anything from chiles rellenos and tamales to tacos and fish ceviche. Perhaps cook mole poblano and learn about the more than 27 ingredients, in addition to chocolate, that compose this delicious sauce. Top it off with a Margarita or a good Tequila!The best part of this class is that you get to eat what you cook. Sit down and enjoy of a well-earned feast and good conversation with the chef.
