A must-do class for anyone who loves to cook and is a history buff - I took this fantastic Mexican cooking class on Thursday, August 15th, 2024, and it was an unforgettable experience! The tour guide was outstanding, sharing his deep knowledge of Mexican history and cooking techniques with enthusiasm. The experience started with a walk around the local market, where I learned about the ingredients that make Mexican cuisine so unique. The guide explained the history behind various dishes and ingredients, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. I left the class not only with new cooking skills but also with a deeper appreciation for Mexican culture. I highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Cancun!

Cooking with pleasure - My cooking class tour with Nassim was an experience to remember! We learned lots of new things and it was great from start to finish for all that participated. It was a fan favorite meal of guacamole, homemade enchilada with red chile sauce, and quesadillas. Our chef was informative, patient and shared a lot of culinary skills.

Great experience! - The guide/chef (Naseem) was very knowledgeable and it was interesting to see the market. Once we got to the restaurant and began cooking, he did a great job of demonstrating the steps and ensuring we did them correctly.

Great time! - Fun, different & personal experience for our Cancun trip! Great to step away from our resort and typical "excursions". Nassim was our chef and did an awesome job!

Must do! - Love, love this cooking class excursion. From Mercado 23 where we picked our ingredients including fresh corn tortillas, cheese, meats, fruits and vegetables!! Amazing fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs and nuts. For cooking class, we made fresh guacamole, enchiladas, sopa , quesadilla, rice pudding for dessert. + a margarita… all in an authentic Mexican restaurant (we got to use their kitchen!) - we had a space set off from the kitchen/buffet area. It was perfect. Learned some new techniques and skills. Also got to shop a little at the Mercado 23. Perfect minting and lunch!

Family Mexican Cooking Class - We truly enjoyed the cooking class as a whole. Our family is all about good food and drinks. This class did not disappoint. The guide/chef really educated us on authentic Mexican cooking. We would have loved to have more food for the price point. That’s our only recommendation.
