Amazing cooking experience - From the moment we were picked up at our hotel by Carlos he talked about his culture and pointed out many facts about the area. We stopped by the open market in Zihua for a few fresh ingrediencies for our lunch, which was another highlight for me. I could have stayed for at least a few hours. We were invited into a warm and inviting home of Elsa and Carlos. We were all hands-on making Chiles rellenos, tamales, enchiladas, quesadilla, tacos and salsa. By the time we left we were completely in awe of our experience, and stuffed with everything yummy that we helped create. I would highly recommend to everyone. Now I have the recipes to share with family and friends.

New meaning to home cooking! - What an incredibly fun morning with Elsa and Carlos! Our day started with Carlos picking us up and taking us through the local food market - he took care to explain all the various foods, down to the different mango varietals, and we picked up fresh produce for the cooking class. It was a treat to join Elsa in her own kitchen (a perk of the low season!) to make dish after dish of amazing food - enchiladas, tamales, and more! We ate way too much, and still had more to bring back to our hotel. Our tip would be to do this class early in the trip so you have time to enjoy all the food you take home! We stayed for extra time, chatting - Elsa and Carlos make you feel like family.

Best cooking class in Zihuatenajo - We were picked up at hotel, then went to market with Carlos for ingredients. We had class with his delightful and knowledgeable wife. The day included hands-on prep for several traditional dishes that we enjoyed eating together. It was a wonderful experience!

Fun and delicious cooking experience! - Great experience learning to cook Mexican food with Elsa. She is very passionate about her cooking and very pleasant and welcoming hostess. Carlos picked us up promptly and took us to the market to pick up a few ingredients. They took pictures for us and emailed them along with the recipes of the foods we cooked. Everything was delicious!
