We had a great time. Francisco and his family were hospitable and gracious. A 6 hour delicious and fun experience! - We learned a lot and had fun. A great group and great food. We weren’t expecting 6 hours, but fresh, delicious food takes time. A meal that we all helped make and enjoyed together!

Amazing - Amazing experience. Shopping at the market and then going to Chef Francisco's home was a wonderful experience. Two couples were made to feel like family. One of our most memorable experiences in Cabo area.

BEST thing we have done in Cabo - This excursion was my favorite of my trip. Francisco was the best cheft, food educatorand having class in his home made this the most authentic experience! We learned so many things, went to the produce market, the Tortilleria and I now understand why Mexican food here is so much better than in the states. This will be a day to remember. Do not miss this experience with Francisco.

Insiders view of San Jose del Cabo market and hands-on authentic cooking class - The cooking class is an amazing, and delicious, way to spend an afternoon in San Jose del Cabo. Francisco meets you at a local market to choose your ingredients for the day, educating you on how to pick the best produce. From there you travel to his home where you create your meal. He and Luz are very welcoming and the class is appropriate for all skill levels. The tips and tricks we learned will come in handy in home cooking, too. The best part of course if the fabulous food that you get to enjoy.

San Jose del Cabo Cooking Experience and Local Markets with Francisco - The shopping and cooking experience was educational, fun and delicious. Francisco and Luz were great teachers and hosts in their own home! We saw how masa and tortillas are made, learned how to make hibiscus margaritas, tamales, guacamole and other traditional appetizers. There was one other couple there and we had a great time! There is a different menu for each day of the week. Would recommend highly and would do it again!
