So fun! Bilingual instruction allowed me to practice my Spanish. The food was delicious and made friends through the cooking class. I was able to remain vegan/vegetarian with the cooking class and learn about the whole empanada making process. Grateful for this unique class.

10/10 Cooking Class!

Tonia_Y, Apr 2025

We had a wonderful experience! The class was very easy to follow and we honestly felt like we were at home with family. Our instructors were super professional and friendly. The space was clean and ready for our arrival. We were able to learn a lot about the history as well as Colombian culture. I would 10000000% recommend anyone to take this cooking class. I look forward to visiting them again when I go back to Medellin!

Deliver if you promise

I asked the staff multiple times for the steps of the preparation of the empanadas and they promised that they'll send it to me via text messages, haven't received it at all. Although I asked for it specifically.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Mohammed, We don't show any record of your request in the message center.

Fun but the group should be smaller

Natalia_g, Jul 2024

Way too many people in the class. We I booked I thought it was private for the 6 of us. It wasn’t a cheap class.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We're sorry to hear that. Just to mention: there's no private option on Viator (on Airbnb only). On our ad it is told that there may be more people from other platforms. Best,

Fun but crowded

Natalia_g, Jul 2024

The host was nice. The empanadas were good. The issue is the space was not good for 12 people, it was crowded and hard to see or participate at times. Through Viator it says max 6, which was the size of our group. When we arrive there were 6 more people. It wasn’t cheap. I expected based on what was listed and what I paid that it would be a private class. It should only be 6 max. It was disappointing since I was different that I expected based on the listing.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We're sorry to hear that. Just to mention: there's no private option on Viator (on Airbnb only). On our ad it is told that there may be more people from other platforms. In one of the many times that this booking was changed, you should've indicated that you wanted a private session and we would've done our best. Best,

Yum! Enjoy the empanadas of your labor!

My friend and I did this empanada class and had the best time! The sisters were so friendly and even though my Spanish isn't very good, we shared a number of jokes. (I did sign up for a Saturday class so that the English translation was available but I didn't need her - Mari - much for translation). 100% recommend taking this class!!!

This was an awesome...

Ryan_L, Dec 2023

This was an awesome experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is visiting Medellin!

Authentic and informative experience in Medellín!

Gillian_G, Nov 2023

This was an awesome experience! Erika and Natalia are super nice, and Natalia is a great teacher (and obviously a pro at making empanadas). I learned tips and tricks that I will use again. Definitely recommend!
