Great experience cooking Mexican food with Sam - We had a great time and learned some valuable cooking tips from Chef Sam. The food was excellent with all the beautiful Mexican flavours that we can actually make ourselves at home. ! We highly recommend taking Sam’s cooking class.

SO much fun! -
We had a WONDERFUL time cooking with Sam. We learned so much about Mexican cuisine and ingredients. The food we prepared was delicious and Sam is a wonderful chef and teacher. I can not recommend this enough. Four of us worked together in the kitchen to prepare all the food. Sam was super attentive and we had such a good time. This class is just the BEST!

Better than Tacos! - We made the most remarkable dishes that were very true to the authentic cuisine of Mexico. Not things that tourist would order in restaurants. Sam was a great instructor. Very patient and friendly!

San Miguel Cooking Class - Hands-on experience preparing San Miguel dishes (and margaritas.) Informative and tasty. Location is just outside the Centro, an easy walk from our B&B and the Artisans Mercado.

Truly Disappointed! - I was totally disappointed with the cooking class. I had read excellent reviews so I was looking forward to the experience. The class was a one on one which was ok though I assumed there might be others there. The menu was uninspired. I did learn a few cooking tips. I ate alone in the dining room which felt uncomfortable. And totally not what one would expect in MX. Eating and chatting with Sam in the kitchen was what I would have expected.
At the end of the class I asked for recipes. He said Viator would send them. I have texted him and asked for the recipes. I have taken other classes in SM and been pleased with them. This class was completely disappointing! The class was billed as a three hour class. This class lasted two hours. I also feel cheated by the experience.
