The host Carlos and Elsa are so welcoming. The class started with a walk in the market and learning about the ingredients. The class took place in their lovely home. Very hands on experience. Everyone got to participate in all the dishes making. Their house is beautiful and the star fruit tree in their backyard has the most fresh star fruit.
This was a wonderful experience! The hosts, Carlos and Elena are warm-hearted, joyful people that share their knowledge and culture with care and patience. They field all questions and create an authentic learning and engaging experience for everyone. I have memories and skills that I will revisit many times.
Easy pickup at and return to hotel, very interesting trip to municipal market, and a lovely home to get instructions and hands on experience to make classic Mexican food. I have nothing but positives for Carlos and Elsa's offering. Great value!!
Carlos and Elsa were wonderful hosts. The day started with Carlos picking us up at our Airbnb and taking us through one of the local markets where we grabbed a few last-minute ingredients and got a glimpse of everyday life in Zihuatanejo. From there we went to Elsa and Carlos’s home where Elsa walked us through making several traditional dishes including sopes, tamales, chili rellenos, enchiladas and taquitos, along with fresh salsas and guacamole. Everything was hands-on and relaxed, and Elsa was a great teacher. Make sure you come hungry because there is a lot of food by the end. It was a really fun day and a great way to experience authentic Mexican cooking. Highly recommend this experience if you’re visiting Zihuatanejo.
Carlos and Elsa are wonderful hosts! The walk through the market was fun and informative. Carlos explained interesting foods and culture. Elsa and her daughter were a joy to cook with! I love to cook, so the explanations and tips they gave were great. Elsa even gave me some helpful hints when I told her about an event I'm hosting this fall. Whether you love to cook or just want to have fun, this class is a blast. And my husband now knows hot to make guacamole!
We had a fantastic time in this cooking class. Elsa and Carlos are fantastic hosts, and Elsa and her daughter were great at taking us through each dish we made and the how to prepare each ingredient in each dish. I would definitely recommend this when visiting Zihuatanejo or Ixtapa.
Amazing experience, perfect balance of participating in the cooking while the hosts (Elsa and her family) did the heavy lifting. You make a lot of food, so come hungry! It was nicely spaced so that you eat a mini brunch shortly after arriving so you get hungry again for the subsequent big lunch. The market tour was cool to experience the local shopping routines and see all the vendors. Plan for the entire experience to take half of your day, we finished around 1:30pm.
Carlos and Elsa are warm and welcoming hosts and provided a great experience. From the tour of the market to opening their home to teach us how to make Mexican favorites, it was a first-rate experience.
It was perfect, beautiful food…everyone was cooking, happy and the food was delicious 😋. A must do!
After being picked up at your hotel, Carlos starts the day with a very informative tour of the local market. Amazing way to orient yourself for future shopping! After selecting market fresh produce, class actually starts in their private home. This class is like no other.... 10/10 The class is personalized to the huge menu for your diet, interest & culinary aspirations. Outstanding day!
