Enchiladas, homemade salsa, fish tacos, deviled shrimp, green chile ribs, and deep, dark mole like only a Mexican grandma can make – these are just a few of the traditional dishes Chef Miriam Flores teaches in her popular Puerto Vallarta cooking classes.
Perched in a welcoming home over Banderas Bay, Miriam’s Mexican Kitchen is not only a space for passionate foodies to learn how to cook like they grew up here, it also boasts a breathtaking balcony for savoring each course as the sunset glistens off the sea.

Authentic Tacos & Toppings (Cheese & Potato, “Al Pastor,” Fish)
Classic Mexican Dishes (Enchilada Poblana, Mayan Chocolate Truffles)
Grandma’s Specialties (Diablo Shrimp, Chicken Mole Negro, Green Chile Ribs)
Mexican Street Food (Pork Torta, Turkey Mole Rosa, Caramel Crepe)
About the Chef
Chef Miriam Flores’ love for cooking is rooted in her Grandmother’s kitchen. Growing up without electricity in a village not far from Puerto Vallarta, cooking alongside her culinary hero forged a deep appreciation for local ingredients, from the farm to the sea. Over the years, her discipline took her to Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School in Portland, followed by kitchens across Europe. The result is a truly unique marriage of traditional Mexican cooking and gourmet techniques she loves sharing with foodies from around the world.
Miriam’s Mexican Kitchen (formerly La Luna) is located at Carretera Barra de Navidad 864 in Conchas Chinas. Classes are Monday-Friday from 4:00 until 7:00 pm.
