5.00After being picked up at your hotel, Carlos starts the day with a very informative tour of the local market. Amazing way to orient yourself for future shopping! After selecting market fresh produce, class actually starts in their private home. This class is like no other.... 10/10 The class is personalized to the huge menu for your diet, interest & culinary aspirations. Outstanding day!

5.00This was an exceptional experience. Carlos picked us up and we had a grand ZIHUA market tour (along with some last minute shopping for the class). With Elsa and he daughter, we made hibiscus tea, guacamole, sopas, enchiladas, tamales, chile relleno , taquitos. We had coconut candy dessert and feasted. Beverages of plenty were available. We felt welcome at their home. Be prepared to dig in. They provide aprons so no need to worry about attire. They take photos so you don’t have to while your hands are in the mess preparing your dishes. We can’t wait to try the recipes back at home (they send those as well). It’s a fun day. We highly recommend it! You can find them on Facebook ‘zihua cooking class’ and book direct with Carlos or Elsa . I don’t see a place to add pics here 🤔
Perfectly wonderful delicious day!

5.00There aren’t enough stars to rate this excursion. Elsa and Carlos are fantastic hosts. Carlos picked us up at our hotel, and guided us through the local markets to pick up our feast ingredients, while Elsa led us on a gastronomic masterpiece in their charming home. Sopes, tamales, chili rellenos, enchiladas and taquitos are all on the menu, as well as the salsas and guacamole to go along side. The highlight of my trip!
Immersive cooking class

5.00This experience is one you must do! Carlos and his wife Elsa are incredible hosts, starting with a tour of the market and the history of some of the vendors followed by an incredible Mexican food cooking class in the privacy of their home, where you end up eating everything that you made. It’s like hanging out in a friend’s home and just enjoying food and conversation. You absolutely regret not enjoying this experience in your visit to Zihua!
Magnifico!

5.00Carlos picked us up and gave us a wonderful shopping tour of everyday life. Then on to his beautiful home where Elsa graciously instructed us in the excellent home style cooking of the generations of her family. Among the many dishes we learned to prepare, making enchilada sauce from scratch was incredible! My husband says he is now spoiled and may never be able to eat in a restaurant again!
Amazing introduction to Mexican cuisine

5.00Carlos y Elisa are both talented & friendly communicators who provided an excellent, personalized introduction to Mexican cuisine. The morning started with a comprehensive, inside tour of the local market where we learned names of required foods/seasonings & what to purchase should we want to later on. The class moved to their lovely home kitchen where all of us leaned cooking techniques, serving & traditional receipes. We even got a garden tour ! Excellent
