Adventure in Mercado de Jamaica

Enjoy Chili, Culture & Cocktails

The Mercado de Jamaica tour is a deeply intimate journey curated by chile expert Fernando Dávila. He will guide you through fascinating stops inside the market until you arrive at La Flor de Jamaica—his family’s store and culinary workshop, nestled in the very heart of the market.

Beyond exploring a vast marketplace filled with an extraordinary variety of beautiful flowers and learning about its history and everyday life, this tour invites you to make an important discovery: chile is much more than a beloved ingredient that simply adds heat to Mexican dishes. It is a source of flavor, color, and aroma that enriches countless preparations.

On this tour, the goal is not to test the limits of how much spice you can handle. In fact, our mission is to reveal the incredible complexity and diversity of chiles—while giving you the freedom to choose the level of heat you’d like to experience. You’ll leave knowing how to choose and use Mexican chiles back home.

And that’s not all. At La Flor de Jamaica, you’ll enjoy a playful, hands-on approach to Mexican cuisine through a workshop where you’ll learn how to prepare your very own salsa. Reserve your spot!
