⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️What an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and truly felt like part of the family. The class was fun, engaging, and incredibly informative—we learned so much while laughing and enjoying every minute. You can tell how much love and passion goes into not only the food, but also making everyone feel at home. This was so much more than just a cooking class; it was an experience and a memory we’ll cherish. Highly recommend!

David, our guide, was fantastic - pure energy and vibes. Its a family owned/operated business and they care deeply about the visitor experience. Loved each stop - highly recommend showing up on an empty stomach and wear comfortable shoes.

A truly unforgettable experience. Jorge is a professionally trained chef whose mastery of simple ingredients proved less is more. After a short produce shopping excursion..we were welcomed into his professional at-home kitchen and started with making authentic margaritas which were sublime. What followed was a curated menu and instruction leading our group through the origins of Mexican cooking and how simple ingredients done right elevate flavors. For foodies this is a must.

David was really a great host, taking us to several places to taste wonderful food- from seafood tacos to birria tacos and we had a stop at an ice cream shop for refreshments. It was a great experience. We’ll do it again.
