Class Canceled Needed a Plan B

Unfortunately was canceled the morning of the class Was looking forward to learning a single cooking skill to bring back home with us. Lucky for us I’m certain we can find a class in California. Just would have been nice to say we learned in Mexico City. Made a day trip to the cathedral and was able to attend a midday Mass. We got some blessings instead.

Don’t Book with Arturo

Arturo DID NOT show up at the confirmed time and DID NOT cancel. We gave him 15 minutes courtesy time before contacting him. He told us there was “confusion” and blamed Viator. Big disappointment. Do NOT book with Arturo unless you want to be thoroughly disappointed. Arturo appears to be unreliable and unprofessional. He doesn’t take responsibility for his errors.

Terrific for 8 and 12 year old and adults!!

Amazing!! Arturo was lovely and awesome and knowledgable. My 8 year old and 12 year old loved the cooking, got totally into it, really enjoyed themselves and the food! Super recommend for any kids that will have fun learning and can sit still for a bit (and then cook for a long time!) and for adults who love to eat!

A highlight of our visit to Mexico City

A wonderful experience that I highly recommend! I've always wanted to learn how to make tamales and now I know how! Arturo is an excellent teacher and made the experience fun. His home is lovely and everything is set up perfectly for you to learn. Others in our group made salsas and tortillas and we all helped each other. I learned many techniques and Arturo is sending us the recipes. He was an excellent teacher, going back and forth between our groups to show us tips and techniques. At the end, we ate what we cooked as part of a beautiful meal on his rooftop, which has an amazing view of the city. I can't wait to make tamales when I get back home.
