A taste of Mexico! - The location is in a building and is not clearly marked. Paola is very knowledgeable, explained the process well, answered questions and included the participants in all areas from preparation to the enjoyment of the finished meal. Enjoyed and recommended!

Tacos and tortillas in Mazatlán - Great time in Paola's class, both educational and fun! Our session was focused on making four different tacos (including the tortillas). She did a great job of highlighting the history and diversity of Mexican cuisine, and we had a great time meeting other travelers as well... highly recommended!

Fun with Mexican cuisine - Paola shared a lot of information about Mexican cuisine in general. We made four different styles of tacos. Two vegetarian which were very interesting. She had some very interesting cooking techniques that I think will be very useful in the future. In all, it was a delightful way to spend a few hours.

Delightful experience! - Wonderful experience with Paola. She shared the cultural diversity of Mexico and the impact on food. The tacos were excellent. It was especially fun making corn tortillas. We had a little hiccup finding Paola's building but she was there to greet us. Will do again!
