Wonderful! - We had such a great experience with Chef Ari. She is super welcoming, knowledgable and fun. We were there with family including one teen and we all had an amazing time. We left feeling like we could cook a homemade Mexican meal but more importantly we enjoyed our time with the other group, her staff and Chef Ari. Her approach to cooking is refreshing, her home where she hosts the classes is beautiful and the price is very reasonable. We will be booking future experiences with her when we return!

Fun cooking class - Ari’s cooking class was fun and delicious. Ari is amazing and passionate and her team is outstanding.
We cooked in a beautiful home with a top of the line commercial kitchen. The margaritas served while we were cooking were amazing.
Ari was consistent in explaining both the ingredients and method of the dishes we made and we all learned a lot from the class.
We highly recommend this class while you are in Cabo.

Must Try - A fun experience with a great team. We learned a lot of new and fun skills to take home. They were very accommodating to all special requests. Not to mention the amazing views and beautiful house.

Great Experience Cooking - Chef Ari was fantastic. We have three daughters 11,12 & 13 who love to cook. Chef Ari was so patient and kind in teaching them! From the beginning to the end the staff was helpful and professional. Our girls loved the bartender who made them special mocktails and learning about the food. The class was well done and I can’t wait to see how this place will continue to develop over the years.

Cooking with Friends - Our cooking class with Chef Ari was the highlight of our trip! From the moment we entered her beautiful private kitchen, we knew we were in for something special. Warm, knowledgeable, and passionate, Chef Ari—formerly a chef at one of our favorite San Francisco restaurants—brought Mexican cuisine to life through stories, regional ingredients, and hands-on cooking.
She accommodated a vegetarian in our group, and her mostly female-led team was equally welcoming and attentive. An unforgettable experience we’ll be talking about for years. Thank you for making us a part of your kitchen family for the afternoon.

Great food and instruction—and even better people. - I’ve done Viator and Airbnb experiences around the world, and this experience easily rates in the top 3 for its immersive elements. We really got our hands in the mix! Ari could not have been more knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. Team Ari AKA her ladies moved as a unit supporting our lesson but careful to allow us space to really learn. It never felt like we were in a cooking class. It felt like we were at a friends kitchen, hanging out, drinking margaritas, and learning how to cook delicious food.
Ari’s home is absolutely lovely and made you feel like you were one of the family. Antonio, her operations man, helped us above and beyond the call of duty for the days leading up to, and even after the event. We are unfamiliar with the area and were going to be there for two days and he gave us some personal recommendations.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to make homemade tortillas and I left feeling both confident and competent about my ability to replicate the things that we cooked at home.
This is my niece’s first Cooking class and her first time in Mexico and this set a high standard!
Overall a 10 out of 10—a real win-win-win.

One of the Best Cooking Experiences with a Master Chef - Great experience with Chef Ari patiently teaching us the art of fine Mexican cuisine. From selecting ingredients to preparation and presentation, it was an enjoyable afternoon culminating with a feast of our own efforts. Her team was vey attentive and helpful through the experience. Wonderful setting in the chef’s personal residence complete with a full commercial grade kitchen. We wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.
