  • 5Tailgate cooking!!

    We were in Huatulco celebrating Frank's 67th birthday and he chose to do a cooking class. I found this on online and from start to finish, everything was excellent. Zero complaints. This little group from Louisiana learned a lot of real Mexican cooking and loved it. We also ate a very interesting breakfast tamale. I would recommend this class to everyone!!

  • 5Great day!

    We attended with our friends. The guys are non cookers but still found something for everyone to enjoy. Alfredo does a great job explaining what is being cooked, the history of the recipe and teaches you his passion. We enjoyed the day and definitely will recommend to others
