We had a great time with Mauro. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed our time with him. He even accommodated my husband's celiac issues by providing him a gluten-free dessert. Highly recommend this.

Decided to book this for my mom and I because we both have a passion for food and love to cook together, and we both absolutely loved this experience. This was a great class! Mauro taught us how to make all the popular Puerto Rican classics such as mofongo cups with chicken, classic pina coladas, and guava pastries. Loved that we also got to learn so much about the history and culture of Puerto Rico while cooking. Everything came out delicious and we even got a cookbook with the recipes so we could remake everything at home. We left full and very satisfied!

Our family had a wonderful experience. We really enjoyed learning how to cook authentic Puertorican dishes together while listening to salsa music. The pina colada was delicious!

So much fun. Mauro was a great host, very entertaining and informative. A lot of great food. Fresh pineapple piña colladas. Not usually a fan of plantaines, but the marinade and that they were made into mofongos made them amazing. Watch out, the guava quesitos are hot. Mauro makes a great hot sauce as well and offers that for sale. One of the best food tours we've done.

We had an amazing time. Maura was so entertaining and informative. He even grabbed a fresh mango off of a tree right in his front yard for us to try. I will definitely be using the techniques that he taught us!
