Embark on a comprehensive culinary adventure that begins with a convenient pickup before heading to the bustling local market in the colorful neighborhood of Coyoacán. Your expert chef will meet you there to start the day with a traditional breakfast featuring authentic quesadillas and tacos.

You will sample three distinct varieties of this iconic spirit, accompanied by professional explanations regarding their production and heritage. This segment of the tour is perfect for unwinding after your cooking efforts, offering a sophisticated look at Mexico's artisanal beverage culture while you prepare to enjoy the meal you have created.


The experience concludes with a communal dining session where you will enjoy the dishes you prepared alongside the chef. This final gathering serves as a platform to exchange opinions, discuss the techniques learned, and reflect on the day's discoveries.

As a latina who moved to Dublin, I was desperately trying to find a shop that would have the things I needed to make some food from home. The store doesn't have enough variety of items to make the trek from my flat worth it. The person who helped me was a bit snippy when I asked about a selection of an item. Overpriced in my opinion. You can find these items at other small shops for cheaper prices.

We had a work social night in Picado and it was a treat. The cookery demonstration Lily provided was top notch and well tailored to our group’s needs (veggies and coeliacs) , but the unexpected bonus of Lily’s passion for telling the ancestral stories of food and its role in history blew us away. We were taken on a journey, I’ll never look on corn the same way 😀, and the food was amazing. Highly recommended.

I recently had the privilege of hosting an incredible culinary experience at our office, featuring the talented Chef Lily Ramirez-Foran from Picado. The event was a true celebration of Latin American culture and cuisine, and I’m thrilled that everything came together so smoothly! Chef Lily brought her extensive knowledge and passion for food, sharing the rich stories behind iconic Latin American dishes. Participants were able to cook alongside her, bringing vibrant and authentic flavors to life. 🌮🥘 Chef Lily’s passion for her craft, combined with her deep roots in Mexican culinary traditions, made this event truly special. It was a perfect blend of learning, community, and great food. If you ever get the chance to attend one of her sessions, I highly recommend it! 🌎❤️
