Awesome mexican cooking experience! - During our travels we always like to try new experiences and this Mexican cooking class was one of the best we have ever done. We were personally meet by the owner of the restaurant - Oscar - who was ready and waiting for us. We were taught to make home made tamales,guacamole and roasted salsa all while imbibing in house made specilty flavored margaritas. This was a one on one experience and well worth the money. We will definitely be heading to the restaurant for dinner next time we are in town. Ours hats off to Oscar and his team for the excellent service they provided!

Cook your own food at a restaurant? I think yes! - Fun times, great crew, worth the experience. They kept the drinks flowing from the open bar while we made our own tamales. While we waited for the tamales to cook, they brought us salsa ingredients and a molcajete so we could make our own salsa and guacamole. It's fun to eat at restaurants on vacation but this interactive experience was also very fun and incredibly memorable.

Fun night at Almas with chef Karla - Karla, the chef, was upbeat, interesting and very accommodating. She was absolutely delightful. Had a ball with her. The salsa we made was perfection and the guacamole was great. The tamales were disappointing--very doughy and bland. Loved the variety of ingredients we added but not the best tamales we've eaten.

Amazing! Must try cooking class - This was a very fun and amazing experience. Karla instructed us on making amazing roasted salsa and guacamole, followed by chili rellenos stuffed with more than just cheese. The margaritas, tequila and mezcal were free flowing! Lulu, our hostess was very sweet! We loved it. This is a tasty must try excursion in San Jose Del Cabo. .

San Jose Tamales - Fun experience! Chef Karla was very freindly and informative but I would have liked to been a little more involved in the whole procees. He had prepared many of the ingrediants before I arrived but I understand that all of that takes time and some of it was very simple. All in all it was a good experience.
