It was amazing. Great experience! They were both very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone considering!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thrilled you enjoyed the class, fresh seafood by the ocean is a special combo. We’ll share your recommendation with the chefs — they love hearing that the tips and techniques stuck. 🐟 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Amazing!!!!! Chef Hayza is the best!

Sydney_S, Jul 2025

We had an amazing time cooking our seafood! Our Chef Hayza was amazing and I highly recommend learning from her. I would 100% do this again

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Chef Hayza truly brings seafood magic to life—so glad you loved every sizzling moment! 🦐 We’d be thrilled to have you back for “round two” of grill & caipi fun. Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Great time cooking with local ingredients!

Mark_A, Dec 2024

Carina was our teacher and she was wonderful. We learned about different local foods, made caipi's the way it should be done! And learned about how to prepare octopus, which i was especially interested in. All in all it was a really wonderful time.

Messed around no booking

katie_c, Nov 2024

We were messed around. They took payment confirmed and then last minute told us there was no chef for Friday but the could accommodate on Saturday. Friday came so I checked with them. After many messages and calls they did not have a chef for Saturday! We missed another excursion because of them not being honest early. They also confirmed we were the only two. I think the price is too high.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Hi Katie, we're so sorry we couldn't make your class happen. Like I told you, all our chefs were unavailable Friday, and weather-forecast was also predicting rain, and Saturday was a national holiday so that beach where we do the seafood barbecue class would be over packed, making the experience sub-par due to looky-loos. You said you understood. We sent you a refund immediately on Friday and our apologies. We also offered our other Food Tours so that you can have something fun to do on either Friday or Saturday, while granting you a discount. I would like to apologize again for shaking up your travel plans. We hate it when this happens as our goal is to enchant all our customers with excellent food experiences. We hope you can consider our other Food Tours and then your future! Cheers! Cristiano
