My group, consisting of 10 family and friends, attended Chef Ari’s afternoon cooking class in her home in Cabo. To say it was fantastic is an understatement! We had the best time. Chef Ari is an incredible chef with the best personality! Her staff was very helpful and kind as well. She was even able to accommodate a gluten allergy with Zero issues (one attendee has Celiac). Her home kitchen is a dream! And the view from the outdoor kitchen is absolutely beautiful. We added a tequila tasting to our experience, we even specifically requested additive free tequilas to taste, and Matteo Nailed It! I would highly recommend signing up for the cooking class. You will not be disappointed! We will definitely we going back next time we are in Cabo.

Great class in wonderful home venue. Everyone was at ease and easy directions and delicious results.
One of the activities we enjoy on trips is a cooking class. With Chef Ari we learned how to make pico de gallo, stuffed chiles, salsa and flour tortillas. Her location in her home was ideal with a large modern kitchen and a very nice outdoor dining area with a view of the ocean. Everything we made was delicious, fresh and made with ingredients that are available at home. She is a great teacher, and gave many helpful tips to improve our cooking. We are going to try these dishes once we return. We recommend this great hands on cooking class with Chef Ari.
Be sure and get your directions while you have working Internet before you go. Thankfully, Cami had sent us a screen shot of the map locating the house as we couldn’t access our map function on the way.
Best day ever! Chef Ari is a fantastic hostess, chef, instructor and person! She has a great team that assisted from booking through dessert and we never wanted to leave. Her house, kitchen and outdoor dining area are incredible! Amazing views! We made a roasted salsa and chili rellenos - so tasty and we learned how to make these once we return home. Loved our day cooking, learning, eating and laughing - and custom cocktails from bartender Alex!
We had the BEST time at the cooking class with Chef Ari! She is so sweet, personable, and made the whole experience unforgettable. If we’re ever back in Cabo, we will absolutely rebook. We learned to make flour tortillas, al pastor, and salsa—and enjoyed some incredible margaritas from Alex too! We can’t wait to see her business continue to grow.
Such a wonderful time… Chef Ari was absolutely amazing! We learned to make Homemade tortillas and authentic enchiladas and guacamole. Her home was stunning and such an intimate and extremely fun excursion! Definitely would recommend!!!!!
Chef Ari was so welcoming and her home was so beautiful. Great place to relax and enjoy the views. The cooking class was very chill and easy - mostly chopping but a great experience. We made a salsa and ceviche, then Ari did a demo to make the Al Pastor sauce. Lots of sampling along the way with some delicious margaritas.
Went to Chef Ari with a family group of 9 ranging from 16 to 75+ and a terrific and delicious time was had by all! The place is clean and gorgeous. The staff was helpful without being overbearing and we learned to make delicious guacamole, fish tacos and tortillas. 100% would return for another fun afternoon. (And we can’t imagine eating dinner tonight we are so stuffed!)
What a fun and informative experience. The head chef (Ari) was delightful, very articulate and entertaining. Food prep was not complicated but very good. The class/lunch was held in her home which was beautiful and perfectly suited for the class. We had four adult couples in our group and were joined by two sisters who were in town for holiday. Ari had plenty of help with two assistant chefs and a bartender that made good margaritas! The shrimp ceviche and the fish tacos we prepared were excellent. Even had an unexpected treat for dessert to celebrate my birthday. Would highly recommend.
