MAGICAL EXPERIENCE AT MEXICAN LINDO - A wonderful day spent in a jungle setting with our host Alejandra and her lovely helpers including the delightful Paula! Learning about the history of Mayan culture and cooking was a pleasure. We made tortillas, soup and a stew all under Alejandra’s watchful eye. She provides great context and helpful hints all along the way. And of course the best thing is getting to enjoy all the wonderful food for lunch! Highly recommend this day for any food lovers interested in authentic Mexican cooking. Thank you for a lovely time!

Awesome! Start to finish exceptional cooking experience! - The staff is fantastic! Knowledgeable, caring, and above all you can feel the love they take in making sure you not only learn to cook the menu but learn the local culture, ingredients, history and methods to recreate the meals for future enjoyment. Our specific family that attended contain all levels of cooking experience, from beginners to advanced and everyone walked away with a new found love for the local culture, cuisine, and history provided by the exceptional staff. We highly recommend and appreciate every staff member for providing a fantastic cooking adventure. We will be back! & highly recommend! Definitely the highlight of our trip! Thank you, - - The Murray’s

Not to be Missed! - We enjoyed a fantastic day at the Mexico Lindo Cooking School! The food was delicious! The eco-garden was amazing, and the hands-on chopping and cooking was fun and informative. They are very sensitive and resourceful regarding food allergies/dietary restrictions. Highly recommend you include this in your trip to Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Puerto Morelos. It's a very special experience.

Exceptional in every way possible! - Alejandra was such an entertaining and skillful chef and cooking instructor. We were hands on and learned Yucatán recipes and techniques…the food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this experience. She has “set the bar” for me to find another cooking class to compare.

Work Excursion Didn’t Disappoint! - This class was awesome! The chef and the staff treated us first class. The food was made by the class, with heavy instruction. The tamales were amazing and all the food was delicious. I would do it again and try one of their personal/half day classes.
