Issi our chef and teacher was very knowledgeable about many ways to cook recipes in Mexico. He welcomed all of my many questions. I loved the way he adjusted the class based on our interest and took common recipes and added an interesting flair to them. He also showed us tricks for how the food is prepared.

My son, his wife and my two teen granddaughters LOVED this class. We visited markets and then cooked tamales and salsa in their home, set up with a commercial kitchen. Everyone got to participate. We had two lovely Houston ladies in the group and we were all laughing the whole time. Issi is a US trained chef who is a native to Mexico. Excellent teacher. You are completely taken care of. My son loved it too.

My husband and I always try to experience local culture on our trips, and I'm so glad we found this tour! We loved experiencing the markets and helping choose the seafood, meat and produce that went into the dishes we made. Nothing beats margaritas made from fresh squeezed lime juice! Everything was delicious, the company was wonderful and the tour operators are so fun and knowledgeable! Couldn't have asked for a better day!

Great experience all around! Chef Pepe was excellent , loved learning so many new cooking techniques and authentic mexican recipes. Class is very hands on from going to the market picking out produce to preparing and cooking the food . All in a very clean, safe environment. Never once did I feel unsafe ,even in the middle of all this covid mess. I do not give 5 stars often but I highly recommend this tour, great fun!!
