One of my favourite experiences in Cancun! - Went on this tour/ class last year and couldn’t recommend it more! It was fantastic, informative and fun! Diego led our tour/class and was really friendly, the food was delicious and I’m still using the recipes now! Would definitely do this again and recommend that anyone visiting Cancun does it too!

Local cooking lessons from scratch. Fantastic and fresh. - Gibran and Angel are amazing guides in the culinary roads of Cancun. Collect your fresh ingredients from a quaint local open market and cook them all from scratch at a local restaurant. Simple and scrumptious. Fantastic!

Cooking Mexican style - Fun trip. Our guide was excellent. The others in our group were also fun. Always great to meet new people. The organization was really good. Our chef was well prepared and make the fun happen. We all had a hand in preparing and cooking a variety of courses, along with at least one margarita drink for all some had an additional few shots or so lol. I would have liked an option for flour tortilla as having one entree of cheese taco and two mains Sopa and enchilada, was too much corn for me. Would do this experience again in a very nice little but quaint restaurant.
