A very fun and informative cooking class - We loved this cooking class!! Su was very knowledgeable and patient with all of us. We started by making authentic Oaxacan chocolate and drank it with bread. It was very good! We made food from scratch and it was very delicious! Making tortillas with the masa and Memelitas was so fun and so yummy! Their daughter made a cocktail with Mezcal and Jamaica and it was excellent. We helped make yellow mole with chicken and it was so good! We truly loved the experience. Jorge her husband was very nice to pick us up from downtown. I highly recommend this class.

Best cooking class in Oaxaca. - One of the top things to do in Oaxaca is learn to cook local dishes. Susana was an amazing teacher. She's from Oaxaca so she is familiar with all the local ingredients. Her class was so much fun. She was informative on all ingredients and steps to every receipe. The dishes we made were so tasty. Getting hands on to make our meal made me appreciate the local dishes we were eating while in Oaxaca. Her outdoor kitchen was beautiful and very accomadating. I highly recommend taking a cooking class at Gueta.

Say yes to this class! - What a wonderful experience! Sue and her family treated us like were their own. From the fresh and delicious food to the easy instructions to the surprise birthday cake, this was the best way to spend my last day in my 40’s. I can’t recommend this experience enough. Thank you for the perfect day!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
