Amazing food with even better people! - We had such a great experience learning from Mel and Israel! They are so welcoming and fun—it’s impossible to have a bad time. The food was AMAZING!! Everything was incredibly fresh and packed with flavour. The recipes and ingredients are based on Israel’s grandmother’s cooking, which makes the whole experience feel truly authentic and special. Definitely come hungry—there is so much delicious food to try. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great night out with friends, wanting to learn more about Mexican cuisine, or just hoping to do something a little different. Such a fun, memorable experience—I’d absolutely do it again!

Exactly what we were looking for on my daughter‘s birthday - My wife and daughter did this on her 16th birthday. One of the big experiences that she wanted to make sure she had on her trip to Mexico was a local cooking class. She’s very much been looking forward to this and gave it an enthusiastic five stars.
