About us
Mexico isn't visited: it's lived with all five senses
Between pyramids and cathedrals, corn and cacao, Nahuatl and Spanish, Mexico is a culture of layers. At Delistory Mexican Culture we turn those layers into themed experiences: moments where you taste, hear, dance and cook history instead of just reading about it.
Every event is designed with traditional cooks, mezcaleros, dancers, actors and historians, and adapted to your group's language and pace.
Made in Mexico

Mexican history
Party at the Blue House
An immersive dinner at Frida Kahlo's birthday in the 1940s: collectors chase her signature, spies hunt for Trotsky and everyone paints a collective mural.
Mystery & suspense
Kilometer 31
A psychological horror dinner: the bus broke down at a roadside diner at 12:31 a.m. and one of the passengers isn't human. Will you find it, or are you next?
Workshops & tastings
Doña Candelaria's Tamale Masterclass
An immersive tamale workshop: grandma locked the door and nobody leaves until there are 100 tamales done right. Masa, lard, husks and plenty of laughs.

Myths, legends & traditions
La Catrina's Grim Agents

Mexican history
The Fall of Tenochtitlan
A theatrical dinner set in 1519: Moctezuma hosts a diplomatic banquet for Hernán Cortés. You dine as Aztec nobility while the world cracks apart around you.

Frequently asked questions
Before you book
What languages are the experiences offered in?
All experiences are available in Spanish and English. For private groups we can arrange interpreters in French, German, Portuguese, Japanese and other languages (extra cost).
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
Private events start at 4 people. Depending on the format we can host up to 200 guests; for larger groups we design rotations or multiple performances.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies and religious preferences. Let us know when booking — for blind dinners advance notice is essential.
Which cities do you operate in?
We are based in Mexico City, with experiences in Puebla, Oaxaca and other cities on request. We can also bring the event to your hotel, office or school.
How do tickets for open events work?
Pick a date, choose the number of spots and complete your purchase. You'll receive a confirmation by email; for incognito theater the location arrives 24 hours before.
Do you issue invoices?
Yes — Mexican CFDI invoices for companies, agencies, schools and institutions, and receipts for international clients.
What is a blind dinner?
A blind dinner is a meal where guests eat blindfolded or in complete darkness. Without sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing become sharper. At Delistory Mexican Culture each course represents a region or an era of Mexican history, and at the end we reveal what you ate and where it comes from.
What is incognito theater?
It's an immersive theater performance whose venue is revealed only a few hours before. Actors blend in with the audience and the story — based on real episodes of Mexican history — unfolds all around you. Guests can interact with the characters and help solve the plot.
What does a foreigner learn in the adaptation workshop?
Eight practical modules: essential Mexican history, customs and etiquette, safe eating, basic laws, safety tips, the most common scams, money and paperwork (banks, RFC, CURP, renting) and survival Spanish. It runs as a single 3-hour session or a 3-session program, in person or online.
Are the experiences only for foreigners?
No. Except for the adaptation workshop, which is designed for foreigners, all our experiences are also for Mexicans who want to learn more about their culture in an entertaining way: a blind dinner, a mezcal tasting, immersive theater or a cooking class are different plans for going out with friends, as a couple or with your team.
Are the events just entertainment, or do you learn something?
You learn a lot. In all our experiences, the hosts' dialogue and the event's activities are written with real information about Mexican history and culture: where dishes come from, historical facts and figures, and the meaning of legends and traditions. Fun is the vehicle; Mexican culture is the content.
