Wonderful Cooking Class Experience. - We had a wonderful time learning how to make salsas, emapnadas, sopa, and margaritas at Wahaca cooking class. I loved that it was in Alfredos' kitchen and home. It felt like being with friends. A wonderful experience. I can't wait to return and try another cooking class.

Authentic cooking experience, delicious food and new friends! - My 13 year old son and I attended the "Tacos and Margaritas" class with Alfredo and we had so much fun! We learned about the local area, Mexican culture & traditions, food preparation and more! Alfredo is a great teacher, very organized & professional and yet a lot of fun - we highly recommended spending a few hours of your vacation with him. The art of making fresh tortillas was what my 13 year old loved the most. We will be back with the whole family next time.

What An Opportunity! - I gave the cooking lesson as a gift to my daughter and husband! After hearing their joy and excitement, I determined that we come back next year I will give it too them again and add myself and granddaughter! Here are some points they shared with me- - Breezy charming kitchen and dining area - Made the most delicious tacos and salsas and even passion fruit margaritas and tortillas (learning about the history of tortilla-making as well their family traditions) -Adjacent to Alfredo and family’s home making it a familial experience. - Alfredo knowledgeable, warm, and multi-lingual/cultural- A real winner!
