Fiesta or Siesta?

I have an unwavering yet untested belief, almost strong enough to be called a prejudice, that all Mexican food sort of tastes the same (but no, I’m still not the reviewer who did Izote’s review). Before anyone thinks this is a somehow racist comment, I also think this about vegetarian restaurants. However, I like to be proved wrong every now and then so this Sunday, I might just go down to Tribute to take Chef Ashton’s Mexican Cooking Class for novice chefs ($698 per person) He plans to demonstrate how to make crab quesadillas, refried beans, prawn tacos, crab tostadas, etc, etc. The fiesta starts at seven and the demo is followed by a three-course dinner featuring the dishes shown. Who knows, maybe all the dishes will taste so different I'll actually know which course I'm on.13 Elgin Street, Soho, 2135-6645.
