Amazing! - A great memory and experience that we will never forget! ❤️ Alfredo was extremely informative, and the hands on experience was amazing! Trying new foods, new methods of cooking, in an environment that allowed us to learn the history and hear Alfredo’s stories made it all the more enjoyable! Thank you so much for this opportunity and we will never forget the fun we had and the group we met! ❤️ a 10 out of 10 for sure!

If your a foodie, this is a must. - What a wonderful day! Alfredo is so enthusiastic about the food from his region and food in general, that it is hard not to feel the same way. The food we made was so fresh, so delicious, it tasted like the essence of Oaxaca. Thank you Alfredo and your cooking family.

Tacos and Margs - Our family had a wonderful time learning techniques and recipes for making tacos (with homemade tortillas), salsas, and margaritas. Alfredo was super-well organized and entertaining as we cooked and then sat down for lunch. This experience was our favorite during out trip to Huatulco, as we learned about Oaxacan cooking and cuisine. Would highly recommend taking a cooking class - this is from a family that has minimal cooking skills.

Wahaca Cooking- An amazing Experience!! - I can't recommend Wahaca cooking enough. Not only is this experience hands on, entertaining and extremely delicious, it is also very educational. I was fortunate enough to take part in the Taco and Margarita class in January and would highly recommend this or likely any class that Alfredo teaches. We will definitely be back!!
