About Mercado Cocina · Santa Ana, California

Rosa Iturbe grew up cooking in Oaxaca and has run this kitchen in Santa Ana since 2017. The class starts at the market rather than at the stove, because half of what makes the food work is knowing what to pick up and what to leave.

Chillies, herbs, masa, whatever is good that morning — we buy it together, walk it back, and spend the rest of the afternoon turning it into lunch.

Known for

  • Starts at the market, not in the kitchen
  • Eight cooks, one kitchen, everything from scratch
  • You leave with the recipes and usually with the leftovers
