Outstanding Mexican Cooking Experience - Alberto met me right on time and gave me a brilliant tour of the market, including shopping tips and some delicious street food. Once we had all our groceries, we headed to his home, where I met his wonderful Mum, Lilly. We cooked for a few hours, making several authentic dishes. Alberto and Lilly explained every step of the cooking process, giving me many invaluable tips and tricks to take back home and try with my family in the UK. At the end, Alberto showed me how to make the perfect frozen margarita, which we enjoyed together while feasting on the wonderful food we had cooked. I am fortunate to travel to many locations, I usually do a food tour or cooking class when I travel. This class and experience were the best I have ever had - I 1000% recommend booking with Alberto for your authentic Mexican cooking experience!

A true cooking class from the market to table! - Such a fun & unique experience to go to the market. And then, we went to his home and helped cook a meal with his amazing mom. A great learning experience, delicious food and wonderful people!

Cannot wait for the next time! - Our experience with Alberto and Lily was absolutely wonderful! Walking through the market to choose the freshest ingredients was so educational. And he was able to plan a menu for different dietary choices so easily. Our class consisted of making guacamole, a delicious grilled fruit salsa, and different types of tacos. We even made our own tortillas! We had an amazing time with them and would for sure return again for another meal in the next trip and definitely recommend it to everyone. 5 huge stars!
