5.00We were picked up in the plaza on schedule by our very friendly hosts . The cooking location was a short drive away by iglesia de San Gaspar. My husband and 10 year old and I all enjoyed the preparation and the final result! The chef and his team are bilingual and gave clear instructions and lots of cultural info along the way. It was an excellent way to spend an evening!
Amazing and Authentic

5.00Luisa, André and Janet were the best. Luisa was punctual, attentive and so charming. Andre, the chef, is amazing he is so patient, perfect English and so kind to explain everything multiple times. Janet is the sweetest, she helped us with our tortillas and was so nice to give us tips. We celebrated a birthday and they surprised her with a cake . It was an amazing experience and the food so yummy!!
Best cooking class!
