5.00My daughter and I wanted an “experience” on our trip to San Pedro and this certainly was a great pick! She made shrimp ceviche and I made the lobster ceviche (u pic the seafood u want to use)! We made 3 different papusas and learned much about the mayan culture! Then we got to sit down with all who participated and have a meal of what we had made! Learned about how important the sunshine is to mayans and eggs! and all their cosmetic uses! So much info-the times goes by way too quickly! thank u for an awesome time!!
A very special and irreplaceable experience - 11/10!

5.00My friends and I had an absolutely wonderful time doing this cooking class in Belize! Our instructor Oscar and his mother were so sweet and kind! Oscar translated the instructions and the class in English while his mother spoke in Spanish - which made for a super authentic adn very special experience. We loved that while learning about the meal we were cooking - we also got a brief history and cultural lesson from them as well, along with cooking tips and tricks. After cooking we sat down and ate our food with the rest of the class family style, it was great! Everything was so delicious and we had enough food to take home and eat on for the rest of the day! I look forward to makign my own Ceviche and Papusas at home someday! I would come back to take this class over and over again, it was marvelous!
Definitely a highlight!

5.00Oscar and his mother Maria were fantastic. They shared tips and were fun to be with. They made making ceviche and pupusas look easy. I’ll be making these at home.
Great fun cooking

5.00We had a fantastic time. The staff at the restaurant is super friendly. You get to eat what you cook. A little prework for safety in the kitchen and then you go thru exactly what you do for the ceviche and the pupusas. You do stand for a while so just know that ahead of time. You can pull up a chair if needed. You can order drinks while cooking which always makes it more fun.

5.00We had a great experience. Chef and her son were both very knowledgeable and made it a great day. Only critique was that they gave us pointers on things after we had already done them at times, instead of before. Food was super fresh and yummy and we were so full when we were done and even brought stuff back to the house! Definitely recommend!
Very informative and...
