Delicious and fun experience

Our family had a wonderful time! We made empanadas and alfajores. Our 7-year old son participated and thoroughly enjoyed it. They were very accommodating to our dietary needs and preferences.

All around great time

Was an amazing experience!!! Paulo (not Pablo…although he is supposed to be good as well) was an incredible host, very knowledgeable and welcoming. Our family (wife, 10 YO daughter and I) were thoroughly impressed with our experience!
