An incredible 10/10 experience - One of our favorite experiences in Puerto Vallarta. Chef Manuel is a great instructor and creates some incredible dishes for you to enjoy with local ingredients. He’s very knowledgeable about food and explains a lot about how the different ingredients create balance and flavor. I highly recommend everyone enjoy this experience while in PV, both locals and travelors.

A REAL Mexican meal! - A great immersion into the culture here in PV! A fun market experience, with Manu asking us plenty of questions so we could have a fabulous meal. An intimate visit to his home while we were the only guests! He is friendly, instructive, and a great chef! We had a wonderful time.

Street tacos - so good and fresh! - Wow! What a great experience from the very start! Manuel took us to his go-to fresh food market where we bought freshly butchered pork and beef, fresh vegetables and dried chiles, cheese, and freshly made tortillas made with the best corn in PV, delicious hot and fresh from the tortilla press! His home is in a quaint and colorful neighborhood and his doggy Max was a hit! He showed us how to make a salsa verde, salsa roja and -- our absolute favorite -- AUTHENTIC STREET TACOS! We learned how to make carne asada and pork al pastor. Delicious, vibrant, fresh and the flavors were WOW! We can't wait to entertain family and friends with our new culinary knowledge!

Don't Miss this Fabulous Class - This was the most enjoyable and educational cooking class I have ever taken anywhere. Manual exudes passion for his craft and is an excellent host, educator and entertainer. His instruction will forever change my cooking. And the food he served us was the best I have ever eaten in Mexico. He taught us simple techniques that make all the difference.

An extraordinary culinary experience - Extraordinary experience - Manu was the perfect host. He was so attentive from shopping in the local market and choosing our dinner to going back to his house to prep and make the meal. Manu was incredibly sensitive to our food issues and preferences. The food was so good - and the tastes were so much more subtle than what we've been used to in USA Mexican restaurants. Clearly what we've tasted till now falls far short of "real" Mexican food. A must for a total Puerta Vallarta experience. I can't recommended this tour enough.
