Great cooking class - I had a great time! I really enjoyed the cooking class and the market tour that we did. Our instructor was so great. She really took time to explain concepts, different foods and techniques for cooking them. We had a great meal, and all the cooking was done.

A fantastic experience...highly recommend! - The class was fantastic. We started with a market tour to learn about ingredients and it was incredible to see such beautiful and fresh produce. The cooking itself was hands on and very informative. We cooked a delicious 4 Course meal. The team were brilliant and I would highly recommend...inspired me to learn about and try more Mexican cooking!

Can’t miss experience - The entire experience was excellent! Krystal is absolutely delightful and it was only 6 of us learning to shop at the market and make a spectacular traditional meal including vegetable tamales, white mole, tortillas and a delicious corn cake. We learned about culture and cooking techniques in a beautiful intimate setting. This experience is highly recommended- it was a highlight of our stay!

Super fun tour and class! - Wow, we had a great time at this class! The chef was incredibly lovely; she was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. The market tour was wonderful - the opportunity to taste insects AND chocolate was an unexpected treat. We both had a good time learning new kitchen skills and look forward to hosting a tamal making party when we get home. Cheers!

An Exceptional Culinary Experience - We had an exceptional experience with Lorena and her staff at Aura Cocina Mexicana. A beautiful setting where we learned about Mexican ingredients and their connection to culture. We made all four courses of the meal we enjoyed later with our choice of beer, wine or mezcal. We toured Mercado Medellín where we sampled produce and a platter of insects (Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it!) Warm and welcoming. The perfect way to start our stay in CDMX!

Great Mexican with a difference in Jindabyne - Outstanding meal at the Cocina Mexican in Jindabyne. This is Mexican with a twist, not the traditional fare offered at the faux Mexican franchise "restaurants". Good drinks list, including some fabulous margaritas, and excellent flavoursome food. All great, but the beef tacos are superb. And if you like chili, try the jalapeno poppers. Plenty on the menu for kids, too.
