Well worth the price. So good. Sooooo fun!!! - So worth the cost and more. I'm cheap so was concerned about the cost, ... Don't be, ... Well worth it!!! Alfredo and his sous chef were awesome. You will get a really cool history lesson, a fun cooking lessson, and a bunch of Margaritas. The process was very cool and the food was incredible even if I helped make it. Lol. Take some friends, you wont be disappointed.

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!

Excellent experience - We had a fantastic afternoon cooking with Alfredo and his team. The setting is beautiful, the class was well organised and the dished we made were delicious (the margaritas also helped….) Alfredo’s easygoing manner and enthusiasm about food and cooking is infectious and makes the class a very enjoyable way of passing an afternoon .

Amazing Vacation Activity for the Family - My family of four had a great time cooking with Alfredo. Our kids are young adults and it's not always easy to find vacation activities that everyone enjoys. Our whole family loved the cooking class and learned new things including local cooking techniques and unique local ingredients. Alfredo got everyone involved in the prep and cooking and kept the atmosphere festive and fun. The food was absolutely delicious and Alfredo was an incredible host.

Amazing! - A great memory and experience that we will never forget! ❤️ Alfredo was extremely informative, and the hands on experience was amazing! Trying new foods, new methods of cooking, in an environment that allowed us to learn the history and hear Alfredo’s stories made it all the more enjoyable! Thank you so much for this opportunity and we will never forget the fun we had and the group we met! ❤️ a 10 out of 10 for sure!
