Great Value, incredible experience

Had a great time with the Chef walking the market and then cooking some delicious dishes. Enrique was so knowledgeable and talented. Great cooking experience!!!!

Mexican home cooking with Enrique!

Published on Dec, 2024

The best cooking class in Mexico. Enrique welcomed us into his home to allow our group to enjoy his hospitality, lessons in Mexican cuisine & culture with his wife. We all helped prepare the meal and shared it at their dinner table!

Just what I was hoping for

Excellent cooking experience, I would highly recommend this class. The food was top notch and the facilities were superb. Cleanliness 10/10, and our host/chef was so kind and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Highly recommended!

The tequila tasting with Alan was exceptional! The six of us learned a lot and enjoyed Alan’s banter and expertise. Highly recommended!!

An amazing market tour and class!

Published on Dec, 2024

We met Chef Enrique at a local market to shop for our class. That in itself was a great learning experience. He then drove us to his beautiful home where we participated in an excellent class, learned a lot and enjoyed the fruits of our labor. We would recommend this class without hesitation.
