This was one of the best things we did while we were in Cabo! Our group was small, and we met some great people. We went to Chef Issi’s home where we learned how to make several different traditional recipes, which made the experience even more authentic and fun. The food was delicious, the chef was wonderful, and we loved getting a true taste of the local culture. It was awesome to be able to bring home the information that we learned and to be able to make some dishes that we have never made before. I would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Cabo!

You don’t want to miss this!!!! We had a wonderful time on the taco tour with David! We visited several local spots and got to learn the history of the town and several businesses. It felt like an old friend was showing us around his neighborhood. We had a blast at the cacao tasting with Karina and the tequila tasting with Jorge was wonderful as well. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who is looking to support a local business and family in Cabo San Lucas. We will absolutely be back and cannot wait to bring family and friends!

Miguel was a wonderful tour guide! We had many delicious tacos at various local restaurants in downtown Cabo San Lucas. Jorge was also excellent at instructing us on tequila and how it is made.
