Great time at Cafe Jaguar Cossta Maya

What a wonderful experience! The owner Colleen and her staff were so friendly and welcoming. A fun activity for a pleasant time in Mahahaul. You will enjoy this cooking class - we certainly did. Will go back again if we have the opportunity. Thanks Colleen and staff!

Better than just sitting at the beach! (Which you can do after!)

Excellent tour! Fun to cook & eat. They were so hospitable and very genuine. The drink that’s included is amazing (you get to choose) and it’s like almost 30 oz and 3+ oz of alcohol! Get ready to relax at the beach with a massage after! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fun Cooking Experience in Costa Maya

Excellent shore excursion while porting in Costa Maya. Great interaction with the proprietor. As described in the listing, right on the beach, five minute taxi ride. Easy to get there and back during a short port day. Highly recommended.

The best place on the beach

If you don't go to Cafe Jaguar for this cooking excursion, you are absolutely missing out on the best part of this port stop. Omg, chicken kabobs, freshly made Pico, guacamole and blue tortilla made with my own hands!!!! The ladies here are super nice, speak very good English and make a man mango daiquiri with Kraken spiced rum. I highly highly recommend this class. You eat everything you make and you make everything you eat!!! Fantastic.

Cafe Jaguar is nestled...

Cafe Jaguar is nestled along a line of shops with quick access to the water. The class was informative and the staff was friendly. The pico de gallo, guacamole, and al pastor tacos were flavorful. It’s a hands on experience, right down to cooking your own tortillas on the comal. If you’re looking for a unique experience to do in Costa Maya, this is it.

Engaging, Fun and COOLIO!

What a pleasant surprise this cooking class was for us! The ‘strip’ here in Mahahual can become quite busy and loud, but this little Jaguar Bar was the perfect setting for the two of us -and two other couples who signed up from different ships. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and got us all fun drink drinks or beers before we started. The hands-on teaching was excellent, informative and fun! The quality of the food that we used to make our lunch was top-notch - and it was my first time making tortillas!! It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon before heading back to the port - it was our favorite part of the day!

Cooking class

What a fun experience. We are seasoned cruisers and wanted to do something different and found this. The moment we arrived we were greeted by the owner Colleen. She was friendly and very informative. Lissett was tending bar and was constantly making sure we had everything we needed. The class was led by Pearla, with Ixchel who assisted. Both were great. Pearla was fantastic in how she taught the class and explained each process. You can tell she has a passion for her culture, what she does and where she lives. The food was great and plenty of it. Highly recommend this tour. After we got a massage on the beach which was across the street. Also a must.
