Just bought your first molcajete? Don’t forget to cure it before making your first salsas, and to care for it well throughout its life.

Martaja is proud to announce that guests learning to cook with us from April 2025 have been able to make their experience truly memorable by taking it on the rooftop terrace of unmissable Condesa art gallery Lugar De Huida.

The eternally misty mountains of the little-known Sierra Mixe are home to one of the few indigenous groups never conquered by the mighty Aztecs. You, too, can fall in love with this remarkable place, by joining Martaja’s first organised trip this Day of the Dead.

Breaking in a new molcajete? Wow your friends with this recipe for a deliciously smoky chipotle molcajete salsa!

Like most things at Martaja, there’s a story behind our name and logo.
