“The best experience we had in Cabo! Karina and Carolina were excellent hosts. The expereince was a full entertainment expereince including shopping, cooking, margaritas, music, and dancing. Would absolutely go again if we head back to Cabo.”

“I loved this and would recommend it. As a solo traveler, this was a great way to see a little corner of the city, get more detailed cultural information from a friendly local, and learn some new cooking skills! I felt totally safe and taken care of the entire time. Enrique and his family are fantastic! Everything they made and helped us make was beautiful and delicious. I was there with a sweet family that completely adopted me for the morning/afternoon. The youngest in our group was 10 years old - and there was definitely activity that all of us could handle. Would plan to do this again with my…”

“An outstanding experience. Just at do it! The whole experience was so good. Great food and great explanation”

“Washed our hands more than we cooked only made empanada shell filling was already made. Main course of pork shank was not prepared by the class as well as desert.”

“Fun and engaging class with Jose and a lovely group of fellow participants. Made the most amazing guacamole and fresh blue corn tortillas, amongst other things. Good amount of food and we were able to wrap up what we couldn’t eat to take with us.”

“They don't answer their phone and cannot be found. I messaged them that I couldn't find them and they didn't reply. Then they told viator that I should show up the following g day at 10am. That would have been fine if I didn't have any other plans. I've tried and tried and tried to reach them as has viator but get a voicemail that's never returned. I've even used other numbers.. I know viator can't 43ach them either. They're happy to take your money and disappear.”

“What a GREAT experience!! The pacing and interactivity was perfect! Menu decisions were based on majority votes, and while we started a dish, we then went to the market where corn was dropped off for grinding into masa for the tortillas, and walking through the market was awesome! Back to the kitchen where we made ceviche, marinated pork, tortillas (plain and with vegs), soup with squash blossoms and mole. A finish of chocolate ice cream—all accompanied by a margarita we made, mezcal and aqua fresca. Making all these items seemed to “easy” to replicate at home! Thank you so much, Oscar!!”

“My partner and I went to this cooking class, and it was such an informative and memorable experience. Alma was an amazing host — warm, knowledgeable, and so passionate about what she does. I learned so much about the history of Playa del Carmen, which I had no idea about before, and it made the whole experience even more special. The food we made was absolutely incredible. I was in a full food coma afterward because everything was just that good! One of my favourite parts was learning how to make salsa from scratch, and I can’t wait to try it at home. Thank you so much for such a…”

“We had so much fun while learning about the culture and the food. We loved going to the market to buy everything we needed. Zulma was fantastic and shared so much information about history and food. Cooking at a local’s home made the experience that much more authentic. She taught us a lot and was very warm and made us laugh. And the food was delicious! It was the best day of our trip. Highly recommend this experience.”

“The Essence of Mexico cooking experience was fantastic! From the morning market tour to the 4-course cooking experience, it was exactly what we hoped for. Lorena is a very passionate chef that expertly guided our group through an authentic cooking experience. I would highly recommend this tour if you enjoy food and cooking and would like to take a mini dive into cooking Mexican cuisine!”

“Chef Francisco took us to the local market to start with. We were able to try some of the different fruits and vegetables as we toured and he purchased ingredients for our meal. We learned to make our own tortillas as well as ceviche, salsa, fish tacos, guacamole, and hibiscus margaritas. We had a lot of fun and everything was so delicious!”

“This was one of the nicest experiences we have enjoyed anywhere. Began at a local market that had a variety of fresh daily catch seafood. We chose the sea bass and octopus. Also a variety of local fresh fruits and vegetables at the market. Then Manu took us to his home where he demonstrated his skill in preparing the food with instructions of how and why he prepped the food as he did. It was delicious and insightful experience. Note…The taxi from the pier will cost double or triple instead walk another few steps to the street and hail one there.”

“Wonderful instructions and included in preparation! The did was terrific. Also with l walked away from this knowing that I can make everything we did.”

“Absolutely amazing. Victor made the experience, really interesting. We went to the marked and bought ingredients for our cooking. Then we learned a lot about how food was made by his grandmother and it tasted really good. This has been the absolute highlight of our Mexico adventure. And we will recommend it to everyone who has plans of going to Oaxaca. Thank you Victor!”

“One of my all time favourite travel experiences. Everything was splendidly perfect. The food, the market, Minerva, the translator- loved everything.”
