Authentic Mayan Cooking Class in Cozumel

Exceeded our expectations. Lovely venue with authentic cooking. Loved the cooking, food and seeing Mexicans in their Mayan clothing. You won’t regret this activity. I’m giving it 10 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was an excursion booked through Royal Caribbean. I have Celiac Disease and the IX-Kool staff were very friendly and able to accommodate my allergy. The experience was different than what I was expecting: More of a history/ cultural lesson rather than learning a recipe, but I enjoyed it!

wonderful food and lots of special drinks they made us that were non alcoholic. great teaching of the Mayan food culture. Juan is so nice and the place is very clean

Come hungry!! This is an eating experience more than cooking. So even if you don’t like to cook but like to eat do this class. Learning the secrets of the Mayan recipes and how to cook a perfect tortilla was amazing. Juan was very enthusiastic to learn from, he was great!

We had a fantastic experience with Juan and the team! We were able to participate in making guacamole, a traditional Mayan dipping sauce (this was probably my favorite dish), and corn tortillas. Afterwards they fed us more dishes, including soup, two different tacos, multiple drinks, and dessert. We were so full—make sure to come hungry—and learned a lot about the history and culture of Mayan cooking. It was nice to do something different from the usual activities, and it also got us indoors during a rainy day in Cozumel. The only downside is that they don’t send you home with recipes for free, you have to purchase one. I comes with recipes you make and eat in the class, as well as some other traditional Mexican and Mayan dishes. So either be prepared to listen and take notes if you want to replicate some of these dishes at home, or buy the book.

Excellent experience. Food was great, guide was great. Would recommend. To find the location, search for Plaza Royal Village, and it’s right behind the old Hard Rock Cafe.

Was very fun food was phenomenal so was drinks my friends and I (19-23) had a great time. Learned about food none of us have tried before.

Fun learning about the Mayan Culture and very tasty. Clean facility with inside bathroom. Easy to find. If coming from a cruise ship be aware event starts at area’s time zone, not ship time.

Very interesting and info. Great food the restaurant prepared. Food I helped prepare were great, as well. Ok as a solo experience, but probably better in a group.

Food is amazing and plentiful! Traditional food and explanation for everything. Great experience! This was a very hands on and participatory class. I’ve taken cooking classes all over the world and this was one of the best!
