Cookin’ with Cabo was the highlight of my trip! The class was fun, hands-on, and the food we made was delicious. The chef was friendly and made everything easy to follow. I left full, happy, and with new skills I can use at home. Highly recommend if you’re in Cabo!

Be prepared for nonstop laughter and good times! Karina, her cousin, the musician, and their team really put on a show - to the extent that I didn't realize 3 hours had passed. We arrived to Cabo that same day we took the excursion, and it turned out to be the perfect 'stay up don't fall asleep' experience that not only helped us fight jetlag, but was also the perfect way to kick off to our bachelorette weekend. HIGHLY recommend! The food and drinks were great, the music, singing, and dancing were lovely, and the location is so cool too.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are thrilled that we could help you kick off your bachelorette weekend with such high energy. We take so much pride in making sure our guests have a blast, so it’s wonderful to hear that the three hours flew by. We’re glad we could help you beat the jetlag with some dancing and great food! Congratulations to the bride-to-be, and we hope the rest of your Cabo trip was just as magical.

Everything about this was amazing. Went with my husband and three adult children. Kindra was amazing and so entertaining. We made the best margaritas in Cabo. A fiesta with salsa lessons and instruments. She also gave a lot of history of Cabo as we cooked.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled that you and your family had such an 'amazing' time with us. Karina is definitely the life of the party, and she’ll be so happy to hear she kept everyone entertained while sharing the history of Cabo. We’re also quite proud of our margarita recipe, so hearing that they were the 'best in Cabo' is the ultimate compliment! We hope you and your adult children continue the fiesta back home with your new salsa moves and cocktail skills!

Our host was Karina. We were welcomed with a smile. We learned a little history of Mexico and Los Cabos. We cut a squeezed about 40 limes that we used to make the best margarita. Next up was salsa. We learned traditional Mexican salsa is Roma tomatoes white onion and cilantro with a little lime juice and salt. Then we had a salsa lesson. Next up was guacamole. We made a traditional and one with roasted onion, roasted garlic an a little oil that we topped with cotija cheese. Another dance lesson. Then we moved onto tortillas. Just two ingredients and the key is not to over mix and when pressing not to hard. A hot griddle no oil and the most delicious tortillas. We moved on to two other drinks Paloma and charro negro. No more than 4 ingredients in either drink. And when using fresh squeezed lime juice your drinks will be excellent no matter the tequila used. We ate the tacos using the tortilla we made. We had ground beef w potatoes, chorizo w potatoes, refried beans, roasted poblano peppers and corn and roasted poblano and onions. Roasted onion garlic and roasted tomatillo salsa.
We finished our cooking class with a fiesta dance. We moved in for a tequila lesson and tasting. We learned the proper way to drink tequila and not just shoot it back. A final touch of the night was fresh churros that you could dip in one of your tequila shots.
10/10 would recommend!!!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
¡Muchas gracias! This review truly made our day. It’s wonderful to see that you enjoyed every single part of the experience, from the history and the roasted poblano tacos to the final dance. We take great pride in using fresh, simple ingredients, and we're so happy you noticed the difference that fresh-squeezed lime juice makes! Karina will be thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tequila lesson and the 'churro dip' finale. Thank you for the high recommendation—we can't wait to host you for another fiesta!

This was so much fun, we learned how to make margaritas, dance and cook. Karina was very friendly and knowledgeable about the culture, she made you feel part of her family. It’s a family run restaurant and you finish the night with a tequila tasting. We learned about how it’s made and the importance of asking for 100% agave. You should defiantly check out this hidden gem when you visit Cabo.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
¡Muchas gracias! We are so happy you had such a fun night with us. Karina loves sharing our culture and the secrets to a perfect margarita with our guests. As a family-run business, your support means the world to us, and we’re glad you enjoyed the deep dive into the history and craft of tequila. We hope you're already putting those new dance moves and tequila tips to good use back home. Thank you for the 'hidden gem' shoutout!

It was a fun evening! We learned how to make true Margaritas and Palomas, made 2 types of guacamole, corn tortillas and salsa. We danced, we ate and it was a very enjoyable evening! Carina was an awesome hostess! Then we learned about tequila and had tequila tasting with Jorge- it was awesome to learn about tequila- and try them.

This experience was over and beyond my expectations!! The staff was so knowledgeable and fun and created such an amazing experience for all of us! We were in Cabo celebrating my sister’s 50th birthday and wanted something special and unexpected, not like anything we’ve done before and that’s exactly what we got!! Karina and the rest of the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable about their culture and cooking/cocktails. She walked us through how to make salsa, guacamole and a few Mexican cocktails with fresh ingredients that we prepared. In between each lesson we danced to live music and got to join in with maracas and tambourines. If you want an unforgettable night that checks all the boxes, then I would 100% recommend this experience!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
¡Muchas gracias! We are so honored that you chose to celebrate your sister's 50th birthday with us! It makes us so happy to hear that we provided that 'special and unexpected' experience you were looking for. Karina and the entire team had a blast dancing with your group—you all were naturals with the maracas and tambourines! Sharing our culture through fresh cocktails and salsas is what we love most. Please wish your sister a very Happy Birthday from all of us at Juan More Taco, and we hope to see you all again for the 51st!

Super fun experience with friendly leader Karina! We enjoyed learning how to mix multiple tequila drinks and make various salsas and tortillas. The night was perfectly interspersed with salsa dancing and breaks to enjoy food and drinks. The night was capped with tequila tastings and churros. Highly recommend this experience!

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Cabo! Karina and her family were warm, fun, and made us feel right at home. We learned how to make fresh corn tortillas, guacamole, salsa, and margaritas, and then enjoyed it all together. The salsa dancing and tequila tasting added even more fun to the evening. It felt more like a family celebration than a class. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cabo. You won’t regret it!

My friends couldn't believe I signed up to make tacos and my husband said no way to salsa dancing. 10 minutes in and we were all having a blast. The best food we had on our entire trip. And the margaritas are the best you will ever have. At the end of the night you get to enjoy a tequila 101 class. We all wood do again in a heart beat. We especially enjoyed our host Karna. She put us all at ease immediately, told wonderful stories and kept us all moving.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
¡Muchas gracias! We love a challenge, and we’re thrilled we won over your whole group in just 10 minutes! From the 'best ever' margaritas to our Tequila 101 class, we aim to show our guests the true spirit of Mexico. Karina was so happy to host you; she loves keeping the energy high and the salsas spicy. Thank you for the incredible recommendation—we can’t wait for your return trip to Cabo. ¡Salud to you and your 'dancing' husband!

Repeat customers! Brought our friends this time and they loved it! Food, drinks and dancing are amazing!! Best guacamole, salsa and Margs. This is a family run business and there is so much love amongst the family. Aside from the amazing food and company, I loved catching a peek into the kitchen where Karina’s family had gathered to eat and chat. So heartwarming!! We will be back for a three peat!!
Response from Host, Jan 2026

We are officially counting down the days until your 'three-peat' visit! Knowing that you consider our guacamole, salsa, and margaritas the best in Cabo means the world to a family-run business like ours. We take so much pride in what we do, and we’re thrilled that the food, drinks, and dancing hit the mark once again. See you for round three! ¡Salud!

Don't miss this fantastic activity. We had a roaring good time. From the margarita lesson to the finished tacos it was one of the best experiences I've had recently. The live music and dancing was a blast. Most definitely book this one and you won't be sorry.
Marcie_L, Jan 2025
We have becoming to Cabo for years with our group of (slightly high maintenance 😂) friends. Each time we do an excursion/activity. This activity has been our favorite one thus far collectively. The interaction with the hosts was outstanding. The cooking, Mixology, and dance lessons were seamlessly interchange to make a spectacular evening. This is an experience our group will be talking about for years to come. Each of us took away a nugget of information that was very specific to us. I cannot recommend this activity enough!
Terry_J, Jan 2025
Hearing story of how this cooking class got its start. It was such an emotional and heartfelt story. The food, drinks and dancing was so much fun.
I recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a great time with great people!
