Great family experience learning how to make guacamole and empanadas in San Jose del Cabo. My son wanted to take a cooking class in Mexico, and we loved the experience. It was a relaxed experience with a great teacher and some good drinks for my wife and me. It was just our family in the class, and they did well with our 8 and 11-year old sons.

Book with Viator.::
Once we arrived at lication the restaurant said they were closed. We arrived at designated time. Lost the valuable vacation afternoon and was stuck in downtown San Jose.
Viator should not have allowed us to pay and book a vendor who acknowledged we paid but refused service.
One we have not received a refund. Two a refund is not nearly enough when you lose a valuable vacation afternoon.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary experience, this Mexican cooking class is an absolute must! From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming staff made us feel right at home. The restaurant itself is incredibly authentic, setting the perfect atmosphere for a deep dive into traditional Mexican cuisine.
Chef Oscar was not only a master of his craft but also an absolute delight—entertaining, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the rich flavors and techniques of Mexican cooking. We learned so much while having a blast, from making fresh ceviche to perfecting the balance of spices in classic dishes.
Everything was hands-on, interactive, and delicious! Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a complete beginner, this class is an amazing way to immerse yourself in Mexican culture. I can’t recommend it highly enough—if you have the chance, don’t miss out!

I would highly recommend this cooking class first of all our chef named Oscar was so amazing his humor, his humility, his love of food and South made us like so peaceful, and so harmonious that I would definitely definitely go back again and again and again like I will probably go back every time I’m in Cabo now because of Oscar the place is a gem. It’s so cute. It’s beyond words don’t look at some of the pictures cause they’re not as cute as it really is like honestly, it’s amazing so head your way over and ask if you can get Oscar for your chef for your cooking class we started with roasted vegetables and made our own homemade salsa, then homemade guacamole and of course we finished off ceviche, but you can actually cook whatever you want on the menu like if you want to learn how to make empanadas or tamales you let them know what you wanna cook and you have a three course meal and we were so full at the end of it like we couldn’t even finish all of our food and then the last, but not least best part was That all you can drink margaritas open bar like they were the best mango margaritas I think ever I have a great mixologist at the Alma de Mexico so that’s my review. Enjoy.

Absolutely amazing experience! My husband and I did this on our honeymoon and it was such an exclusive experience. Learned a lot about ceviche and all of the ingredients were fresh and delicious. We loved how personal and 1 on 1 the tasting was. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Id call this a hidden gem, went for more than one class during my time in Cabo San Jose. Everyone there is an absolute delight, home away from home kind of feeling while getting some top knotch service. Great drinks; great people; vibes were amazing.. really could say so much more but I will be bring people here on my next trip

I was very disappointed. For the price it was not what I wanted or expected.This was supposed to be a real cooking class and for $125 per person I expected more. I have done classes in Paris for this price and they were great. Instead what I got was a class making guacamole and salsa. I'm from Southern California, I make those things a couple times a week. As far as the tequila and mezcal tasting that was not highlighted and they simply offered us any drinks we wanted. The lady and staff who hosted were very nice but no, I would not recommend this class at least not for this price point.

What a day at Karla's Cooking Class! It was such an experience learning authentic Mexican dishes that are so fresh and delicious from Karla herself who when you meet her, you are instantly best friends with such a wonderful and interesting person. She is so knowledgeable about the tastes of Mexico and did I mention, so personable. This was the highlight of our trip to Cabo and would highly recommend an afternoon with Karla as part of your trip - you will instantly be part of Karla's family and will learn a thing or two about Mexican culture and their wonderful food. Next time back to Cabo, we will definitely be spending time with Karla and her family again!

So much fun! Delicious and entertaining! A great time all around! Chef and staff amazing! Loved spending time together talking and learning about food and sharing her knowledge.

Karla was absolutely wonderful and very personable. She taught us how make dishes that were beyond anything we'd ever eaten before. I've eaten ceviche more times than I can count and this was hands down the best.
Everyone was super attentive and they were ready for us when we got there. Location is very eclectic and comfortable. I would highly recommend her class to anyone.

Karla and Adrianna were great entertainers! They had a team approach and engage with each guest. It was a fantastic experience!

This was such a rare and unexpected treat! We were greeted with warmth and hospitality from the beginning of the experience, and left feeling like old friends. Great food, experience and company! Booked this same day, and they didn’t miss a beat. Head straight up the stairs and enjoy!!!!
