Great for the whole family! - We did the cooking class as a family - 2 adults and 2 children. Every one of us had a fun and memorable time! We went to and learned about local markets then took the ingredients back to their kitchen to learn how to make multiple traditional Mexican dishes. I loved the fun facts mixed into the class and - of course - lots of margaritas. Everyone in the class was also warm and friendly; it made for an excellent family outing. It was so loved, my kids wanted to make more pico de gallo once we got back home!

Outstanding in every way. Far exceeded expectations - This was an outstanding highlight of our week in Cabo. Far exceeded my expectations and those of my kids and grandkids who were with us. We went shopping for supplies, squeezed limes, cut chilli peppers and cilantro, etc made our own margaritas (as many as we wanted) and pork tacos. When event ended, we were offered (and fully enjoyed) a Taquilla tasting experience which we thoroughly enjoyed also Overall, extremely good value for the money and oh so tasty and enjoyable meal and daytime experience.

A must do in Cabo - Yesterday we did the cooking in the family home with a smaller group with Karina and loved it. So much we booked for the following day. This time held at the restaurant with a larger group with Issy…was also amazing and we had an absolute blast learning new things, meeting new people, skills we can take home for our love of Mexican food. Issy was personable, warm, loads of fun and a great host and teacher. The team with him were also fantastic and really added to the experience. If you do just one experience on holiday in Cabo this is a must do!!! The food and class are the absolute highlights of our holiday we can’t recommend more. Told people on a sunset cruise, the Uber drivers and all sorts how great it was. Thanks all for making it the best!!!

Great Cooking Class - Juan More Taco’s cooking class was excelente! Carolina took us to the market to buy fresh ingredients in an air conditioned van. Then we squeezed limes for amazing margaritas, and assisted in making some delicious dishes. The camaraderie among all the “students” was great. Highly recommend this experience.

Fun, laid back, hands-on - Started with tour of tortilla factory, a local produce store and a meat/dairy shop, where we picked up ingredients for the meal. Learned to make chile relleno (stuffed pepper, not spicy), margaritas, two kind of guacamole and pico de gallo (chunky salsa). Live music! Super fun. Make sure you arrive hungry.
