A Foodie Must! - Iszy (sp?) was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made us feel at home in his home. He gave everyone a chance to try a technique for preparing the food. He Made the experience fun and memorable.

A must do! - Wow what an awesome time Karina and her staff are so much fun! You can’t go wrong with this experience. You arrive at the restaurant meet the group and the fun begins. Off you go, learn to shop like the locals do. Visit a tortilla factory, fish market…, it goes on and on, then they invite you into their home, into their own home! Wow! You will learn to make the best Margaritas you’ve ever had and of course the cooking, oh my gosh, amazing! Come hungry!!! Book it now!!! I would definitely do this again. Karina does one with Salsa dancing too, I might come back tomorrow for that one😉👍

Best experience of our trip - An absolutely amazing experience! This adventure with Issi surpassed any of our expectations. Our group ages ranged from 10 to 75 and everyone had a blast. It was easy to find our meetup location with parking nearby. We traveled to multiple locations to buy the food that we used in our culinary adventure which was exciting and a great experience as these markets differ greatly from what we are used to in the US. Our experience cooking the food was awesome. Everyone got to be involved, we learned about different ways of prepping food and cooking it and got to eat something amazing that we had a hand in making. I highly recommend this activity and would absolutely do it again.
