This class was probably the best class weve ever taken. Chef Barbara is so knowledgeable and talented! The class was so fun, the food we all made was to die for, and the drinks were delicious! You can really tell that Chef barbara puts a lot of effort into making this class worth while! We were all so happy and the experience was truly magical ❤️ I spent a long time trying to find a cooking class to take and I’m so grateful I picked this one!
The restaurant owner and staff are great! They are so personable and patient when providing guidance on recipes and instructions. The menu items are indigenous to the culture, very easy to prepare, and so delicious. Definitely worth making at home for family and friends. I was a part of a small group of participants. We enjoyed the experience and partnered to prepare a wonderful spread of delicious dishes.
If you’re visiting Tulum and want more than beach clubs and cenotes, this Mexican cooking class is an absolute cultural must-do. From start to finish, it was an authentic, hands-on culinary experience that went far beyond just following recipes. The class begins with an introduction to traditional Mexican ingredients and regional cooking techniques. We learned how to prepare classic dishes from scratch — grinding spices, working with fresh masa, and understanding how flavors like achiote, citrus, and local chilies balance each other. The whole crew at Delicia was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about sharing real Mexican culinary traditions rather than a watered-down tourist version. What makes this Tulum cooking class special is the cultural context. The chefs explained the history behind each dish, the Mayan influences on Yucatán cuisine, and how ingredients are sourced. It felt immersive and meaningful, not staged. You’re not just cooking — you’re connecting with the region. The setting was lovely and relaxed, with super fresh ingredients and plenty of guidance throughout. Everything we made was delicious (we had food for days after the class!), and the experience felt both educational and genuinely fun. If you’re searching for the best cooking class in Tulum, an authentic Mexican culinary experience, or a unique cultural activity in the Riviera Maya, this is it. Highly recommended for couples, families, and solo travelers who want to understand Mexico through its food. Five stars without hesitation.
We had a fantastic evening with Barbara and learnt so much. This experience comes highly recommended. Barbara was so generous with her time and wealth of knowledge. We made friends and drank a fair few complimentary margaritas & craft beers from Oaxaca as we cooked. Made for a fun and educational time. Muchas gracias!
We absolutely loved this experience! Barbara was kind, welcoming, informative and fun. As a queer couple, my partner and I felt very comfortable with Barbara and her staff. The food was amazing and abundant - we went home with so many leftovers!
Amazing experience! I made sooo much food. Fresh ingredients, great instruction, delicious margaritas. I would recommend this class to anyone!
Awesome authentic cooking experience! Must do when in Tulum. Soo much food and delicious. Margaritas were some of the best I've tasted.
This was such a wonderful way to spend the day! My husband and I wanted to do something out of the touristy norm. This did not disappoint. We were the only two in the class and got to choose the main course we wanted to cook. Vale talked us through each course we prepared sharing information about the local ingredients and the importance of each ingredient. Aside from the abundance of food, we also made margaritas! Everything was fresh and delicious! We got to take everything left over with us! Looking forward to returning to try food from the menu! Best experience in Tulum!
We did this Mexican cooking class and it was hands down the best experience we had in Tulum. Staff weee so friendly, food was delicious, lots of margaritas and we left SO full. Such a beautiful day!
The absolute BEST! The experience was out this world. The chef teaches with such passion and patience that is you have no experience in the kitchen, she will make you look like a chef! The margarita class and tequila tasting was great as well. Definitely would do again
