Chef Krystal was so gracious and very informative. I learned so much about the ingredients that were unfamiliar and even the ones that were. The market trip is a great experience as is the hands on experience of making the dishes.

We had an amazing time with Krystle. Everything was great, from the market tour, to the cooking, to the food. We were super happy and learned so much. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Mexico and would recommend anyone looking for an authentic Mexican cooking class.

Graciela was fantastic. It was a nice combination of learning about food, experiencing the market, and hands on making food.
Too many cooking classes are really just a demo with a token little prep work. Not here - you are mixing, chopping, grinding, sautéing, griddling, etc...
Would do again!

We enjoyed the whole process from purchasing the ingredients, preparing the meal and sitting down together to eat. Lorena was great and she created a fun and warm atmosphere for us all.
