Tortilla and Taco Lab
One dough, three ways.
About 2 hours · Ages 9+ · Up to 6 families · $250 per parent-and-kid team
The class
One dough, three ways
Every team makes fresh flour tortilla dough, then turns it into three things: soft tacos, crispy strips for soup, and a cinnamon sugar dessert.
Fresh flour tortillas
Mixed, rested, rolled and cooked on a comal.
Tacos
With a filling your team makes while the dough rests. Vegetarian is easy.
Sopa de lima
A bright lime soup from the house pot. Teams finish their own bowls with lime, chiles, cilantro and the crispy strips they fried.
Cinnamon sugar crisps
Fried tortilla triangles tossed in cinnamon sugar for dessert.
How it goes
Made together, start to finish
Every parent-and-kid team works at its own station, with an instructor guiding the room.

The finale
And then you set your own table.
While your food bakes or simmers, your team styles its own table for the meal: pick a tablecloth (or none), flowers, and dishes and serving pieces from our collection.
Along the way, learn where the fork, knife and spoon go, with a small guide at every table. Break the rules if you like, as long as you do it on purpose.
One award goes to the best tablescape.
