Great mole overview - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Hector does a great job of keeping everyone engaged. He has a creative way of showing how the moles are prepared without this being a cooking Class. I would not recommend purchasing the unlimited Mezcal. It really isn’t that good of Mezcal and one shot is enough.

Loved the mole and experience - My boyfriend and I were the only ones with the guide, whose name I believe is Hector (I’m terrible with names). With us being the only two it was great to get that one on one experience and feel like we weren’t just a number. He was able to explain the origin and go over ingredients and would ask us to try and figure what ingredients or spices were what. Oswaldo the cook made the 7 moles and each were amazing. We had a great time! Would recommend this to everyone!

Fabulous experience - I did this in April and just realised I hadn't done a review. It was an amazing tasting and explanations of the different moles. Thoroughly enjoyed the way this experience was put together and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Amazing culinary experience - The Mole tasting was amazing! We enjoyed the presentation of each mole and the history behind it. I definitely recommend this experience, it will leave you with the desire to cook your own mole at home. You will eat a lot, so make sure you come hungry.
