This cooking class was awesome! The food was delicious (especially the caramelized plantains) and Sergio was very friendly, making this experience unforgettable. We would highly recommend this class!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We are so happy you had such an awesome time with us! It’s our goal to make our cooking classes as fun as they are delicious, so hearing that it was an unforgettable experience means the world to our team. I’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Sergio. Thank you for the high recommendation—we hope to see you again for another 'tasty' lesson!

This was an OK experience, but I would not call it a cooking class. All we did as participants was chop vegetables and shape tortillas, but none of us actually cooked anything. They would tell us what component of the dish we were currently chopping for, but it wasn't a full list of ingredients as you could tell when it came time to eating that there was more to it. The food was very tasty though and the folks running it were very pleasant, but if you're looking for an experience where you make the whole meal, I'd keep looking.
