Fantastic cooking lesson!

Published on Dec, 2024

Wonderful authentic hands on experience …Alfredo was warm, interest and we learned a lot. His outdoor kitchen was extremely comfortable and we made every type of taco imaginable from scratch!

Excellent experience

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a fantastic afternoon cooking with Alfredo and his team. The setting is beautiful, the class was well organised and the dished we made were delicious (the margaritas also helped….) Alfredo’s easygoing manner and enthusiasm about food and cooking is infectious and makes the class a very enjoyable way of passing an afternoon .

Amazing Vacation Activity for the Family

Published on Jun, 2024

My family of four had a great time cooking with Alfredo. Our kids are young adults and it's not always easy to find vacation activities that everyone enjoys. Our whole family loved the cooking class and learned new things including local cooking techniques and unique local ingredients. Alfredo got everyone involved in the prep and cooking and kept the atmosphere festive and fun. The food was absolutely delicious and Alfredo was an incredible host.

Amazing!

Published on May, 2024

A great memory and experience that we will never forget! ❤️ Alfredo was extremely informative, and the hands on experience was amazing! Trying new foods, new methods of cooking, in an environment that allowed us to learn the history and hear Alfredo’s stories made it all the more enjoyable! Thank you so much for this opportunity and we will never forget the fun we had and the group we met! ❤️ a 10 out of 10 for sure!
