We love Cabo San Lucas and wanted to learn more about the local food scene and try restaurants that would be new to us. My son and his gf were in town and I suggested to everyone we try this food tour. How much did we like it? We all agreed it was the highlight of the trip. How much did we like it? We're planning on the food tour in San Jose del Cabo next.David was our guide and he is perfect for this job :) We had a blast. It was a great tour. We tried spots that we would have never tried otherwise. We learned a lot about local food scene; Mexican foods and cooking methods, as well as cacao; and genuinely just loved walking a couple of streets that we've been on, but hadn't really explored.I can't say this strong enough - awesome tour. We really loved it.

Our Chef Carolina and her assistant Lupita were amazing! We shopped for the produce and protein to make our margaritas and our delicious appetizers and meal! The Tequila tasting with Gorje was also fantastic - he was so knowledgeable! Karina educated us on all things Cacao and we enjoyed a cacao and mole tasting too! Since we were a small group it was so intimate and cozy to have the cooking class in their family home! We appreciated the experience to support a family business while having a great time! We can’t wait to recreate the delicious meal with all of the recipes she sent us! Highly recommend if you like eating , drinking , cooking and learning!
