A must do - Very fun! Our chef Carolina was excellent. It was a great experience going to see the different markets we wouldn’t usually go to. The food was great and the margaritas were even better! HIGHLY recommend booking this class.

Delicious food and fun times! - My husband and I recently took a cooking class in Cabo, and it was an unforgettable experience. We started by gathering fresh ingredients from local shops, including a charming tortilla factory. Back at the restaurant, we learned to make margaritas, tamales, guacamole, and pico de gallo. The highlight was the live music, with instruments available for us to join in. The atmosphere was lively and engaging, making it a perfect blend of culinary and cultural immersion. Highly recommended!

Cooking in Cabo - We really enjoyed shopping and cooking with Karina. She shared personal stories about her family and business. As we were cooking, we sipped on delicious margaritas. We learned how to make corn tortillas, salsa Mexicana, marinated pork, and guacamole. Everything was delicious. My daughter said this was her favorite thing we did in Cabo.
