Chef Ari was so welcoming and her home was so beautiful. Great place to relax and enjoy the views. The cooking class was very chill and easy - mostly chopping but a great experience. We made a salsa and ceviche, then Ari did a demo to make the Al Pastor sauce. Lots of sampling along the way with some delicious margaritas.

We had the BEST time at the cooking class with Chef Ari! She is so sweet, personable, and made the whole experience unforgettable. If we’re ever back in Cabo, we will absolutely rebook. We learned to make flour tortillas, al pastor, and salsa—and enjoyed some incredible margaritas from Alex too! We can’t wait to see her business continue to grow.

Went to Chef Ari with a family group of 9 ranging from 16 to 75+ and a terrific and delicious time was had by all! The place is clean and gorgeous. The staff was helpful without being overbearing and we learned to make delicious guacamole, fish tacos and tortillas. 100% would return for another fun afternoon. (And we can’t imagine eating dinner tonight we are so stuffed!)

Great experience!

Be sure and get your directions while you have working Internet before you go. Thankfully, Cami had sent us a screen shot of the map locating the house as we couldn’t access our map function on the way.

The Best Cooking Class Ever!

Cooking good time

Laura_E, Nov 2025

We had a wonderful afternoon cooking with Chef Ari. She has a beautiful home that is perfect for this kind of event. There was just 4 of us but the kitchen & dining space can accommodate more. Chef Ari and her staff were kind, engaging, and knowledgeable. Chef gave us really helpful tips and tricks to help us prepare a wonderful meal. We loved that she also focuses on cooking while minimizing food waste. She gives you a menu of choices and everything prepared was terrific. The margaritas were also delicious. This experience exceeded our expectations!

So much fun! Chef Ari is amazing!

Robin_T, Aug 2025

Chef Ari and her team are amazing! Cooking with her was informative but not overwhelming, delicious and fun! Her home is amazing and as long as you get directions from her (which she is happy to give!) you will be fine to find the house. We had a lovely time and ate like queens! Highly recommend!

Fun cooking class

Martin_N, Jul 2025

Ari’s cooking class was fun and delicious. Ari is amazing and passionate and her team is outstanding. We cooked in a beautiful home with a top of the line commercial kitchen. The margaritas served while we were cooking were amazing. Ari was consistent in explaining both the ingredients and method of the dishes we made and we all learned a lot from the class. We highly recommend this class while you are in Cabo.

Must Try

Phillip_P, Jul 2025

A fun experience with a great team. We learned a lot of new and fun skills to take home. They were very accommodating to all special requests. Not to mention the amazing views and beautiful house.

Cooking with Ari

John_H, Jun 2025

Super Fun, friendly and delicious Ari and her crew were incredible The location/setting awesome Highly recommend!!

Great food and instruction—and even better people.

Leslie_M, Jun 2025

I’ve done Viator and Airbnb experiences around the world, and this experience easily rates in the top 3 for its immersive elements. We really got our hands in the mix! Ari could not have been more knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. Team Ari AKA her ladies moved as a unit supporting our lesson but careful to allow us space to really learn. It never felt like we were in a cooking class. It felt like we were at a friends kitchen, hanging out, drinking margaritas, and learning how to cook delicious food. Ari’s home is absolutely lovely and made you feel like you were one of the family. Antonio, her operations man, helped us above and beyond the call of duty for the days leading up to, and even after the event. We are unfamiliar with the area and were going to be there for two days and he gave us some personal recommendations. I’ve always wanted to learn how to make homemade tortillas and I left feeling both confident and competent about my ability to replicate the things that we cooked at home. This is my niece’s first Cooking class and her first time in Mexico and this set a high standard! Overall a 10 out of 10—a real win-win-win.

One of the Best Cooking Experiences with a Master Chef

Stephen_M, Jun 2025

Great experience with Chef Ari patiently teaching us the art of fine Mexican cuisine. From selecting ingredients to preparation and presentation, it was an enjoyable afternoon culminating with a feast of our own efforts. Her team was vey attentive and helpful through the experience. Wonderful setting in the chef’s personal residence complete with a full commercial grade kitchen. We wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

Great afternoon activity

Isabelle_P, Jun 2025

We took an afternoon cooking class in Cabo. We enjoyed the experience and the meal! The kitchen was super clean, beautiful and well run.

A delightful afternoon

Lisa_K, Jun 2025

We had an incredibly delightful afternoon with Ariana. She is amazing. So many fun things to learn and the food was absolutely delicious and filling. Well worth the time and money.

Chef Ari is an excellent host

Mike_C, May 2025

Chef Ari and her team were very nice as was their home. She taught us to cook some Mexican specialties which we got to eat after! They also made us very good margaritas. While I’m not into cooking I did enjoy the experience thanks to Ari as did my wife!

Great cooking class

Chef Ari is the best!

Rita_L, Jan 2025

Chef Ari is exceptional, boasting a warm and inviting personality. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The class was the guys' first cooking experience, and they were utterly delighted. Chef Ari ensured the class remained engaging throughout. As a professionally trained chef, she made us feel at ease in her home. The kitchen was a culinary dream, well-equipped to inspire any cooking enthusiast. Chef Ari's hospitality made us feel right at home. The dishes we prepared were outstanding, with incredibly rich flavors achieved using simple yet fresh ingredients.

Best adventure in Cabo

Sherrie_K, Dec 2024

Ari & her team were amazing! We felt like pros in every way! Ari connected with us ahead of time to get an idea of what we were expecting and our limitations. We were greeted with a fun, positive, uplifting energy…..

Amazing experience in Cabo!

Jason_B, Mar 2024

This was one of the best experiences of our trip! Chef Ari was super fun and knowledgeable (and patient with our limited cooking skills). Ari had two assistants working with us as well, which was helpful with some of the more difficult tasks (like frying fish for fish tacos). My daughter and I learned a lot, and the food was amazing (like really amazing)! My daughter mentioned that she loved Mexican-style rice, so Ari changed the menu on the spot to include burritos with rice (and we appreciated the flexibility). We also went to a local market to buy ingredients, which was really cool. We cooked in her home in a professional kitchen, which had incredible views out to the ocean. I could not recommend this experience more highly.
