Wonderful cooking class - We had a wonderful experience. Diego was a very pleasant, knowledgeable individual, who conducted a really nice cooking section. The tour of the market as well as the restaurant where the class took place were very enjoyable. Diego's assistant, Angel, was very pleasant and helpful. My wife and I strongly recommend this tour.

Great for novice and experienced home cooks - The local market is amazing. Nothing like shopping in the US. Rake time to appreciate the entrepreneurial spirit and freshness of the ingredients. Our guide “G” was super knowledgeable and shared great history with a personal touch. Not at all rushed and able to enjoy every aspect of the presentation.

Fun Mexican cooking experience - This was such a good and fun experience. The tour guides Gee and driver Angel were amazing and really made you feel safe and like family. The food markets were very authentic (no tourists) and the cooking was very tasty and a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

They canceled the tour without warning or explanation. It was already impossible to find another activity. Very disrespectful to time - I was cancelled the night before without giving details at 11pm after everything was confirmed several days in advance.

Dont book. - Would not recommend, didnt meet us at the meet point on the ticket, tried to contact lots as no show, was told we had to meet at a restaurant - at no point was this stated. When we got there we were told your 30 minutes late and theyd started (not our fault) Class was overcrowded, everyone else had ingredients and equipment each, we had to share. Not worth it and would not recommend. Have raised with viator.
