A great way to experience the heart of the city. - The cooking class our favorite excursion during or week stay in Puerto Vallarta. Chef Enrique first took us to the market and explained what he look for in ingredients and why he picks certain items. Then we got to the delicious part. Then he lead us on culinary adventure ending in Octopus Tacos. Chef Enrique had was very patient with us and gave great instruction. I was impressed and more importantly my girlfriend was impressed. Will definitely do again next time I am in Puerto Vallarta.

Great experience - Our Taco Walking Tour was in Cabo. Last year we did the lunch Walking Tour, which was wonderful and this year we tried the dinner tour starting at 5:30 which was also wonderful. Miguel, our guide was very informative knew all about the local history knew all about the coming of Cabo and where the people came from his information was just like being in a fun history class they were serving tacos lol don’t get better than that.

Don’t miss this class! - A lot of fun and informative. Mexican markets can be overwhelming and Chef Enrique taught us what to look for. All the food was incredibly delicious and I love having the recipes to cook again at home. Although I know how to cook, Chef taught me a few new tricks. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to learn more about Mexican cuisine.

What a fun time! - This experience was better than I imagined. It was like cooking with 10 good friends. We shopped at the local market and was able to see the tortillas freshly made, fresh fish processed and all the local produce. Then we were invited to a wonderful home where we worked together to make a tasty meal. I’m not sure if this would be good for small children but I would definitely recommend to teenagers or adults!

MUST DO!!! - My husband and I had a FANTASTIC time with Enrique and Cookin Vallarta. And we both agreed that this was the BEST travel experience we’ve ever had. We worked together from buying ingredients at the market, prepping for and cooking a delicious meal, and having wonderful conversation at the table after.. We were a small party of 2, but Enrique and his family brought is into their space and made us feel right at home. We had great teachers at every step of creating the meal and the food was out of this world fresh and delicious!! I highly recommend this experience and would absolutely do it again.

Definitely a must do experience! - This was a wonderful experience w/ my wife and I. We always wanted to do something like this and it was just perfect. Enrique was incredible, along w his wife and sister in law. We met at the market, picked out our vegetables, fruit and meat. We then were welcomed into his home where we all prepped, cooked and ate. They were just sweet, kind people and welcoming. Highly recommend it. Learned a lot! We made salsa, homemade tortillas, guacamole, ceviche, ahi tuna, octopus and sea bass. All was delicious! Just a cool experience

Don’t miss this experience! - Enrique, Eri, Carolina and Dulce gave us an unforgettably fun, educational and delicious experience. From the moment the day began in the local market we learned so much about Mexican culinary culture and arts and about selecting the highest quality fruits, veggies and fish. We all contributed to the meal with chopping, grinding, peeling and tortilla making. The food was fresh and so yummy. Much gratitude to Enrique and his team! And to Viatornfor organizing this excellent experience.
