Great experience!
We had an amazing trip through the market learning how to pick fresh fish and learning about tortilla making. We then went to his home and enjoyed making salsa and amazing fresh salsas. Wonder meal and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

Cooking in Cabos
Loved the market shopping to pick up our ingredients for our cooking lesson and seeing the tortillas being made. It was fun making our own margarita mix and then our own masterpiece margaritas. Made our food creations even better!

Excellent tacos and tequila walking tour
This tour was excellent. And make sure you go hungry as I literally couldn’t eat anything for the rest of the day because I was so full. And it was all very tasty. Miguel knew everything and practically everyone. The tequila tasting was an intimate gathering and featured some exciting information that I never knew. And don’t forget to get a ‘Juan More Taco’ souvenir because only those who know will know! Definitely well worth it.

Must try taco tour!!
If you want to try some good tacos, learn about the history of Cabo and have some tequila. Then you must certainly take this tour, Miguel our guide was FANTASTIC, he was very knowledgeable about the history of Cabo and Mexican culture in general. Make sure to come hungry! The tacos were deliciouso! Make sure to try the corazón de res tacos so delicious and tender! Every taco was so good, you can’t go wrong with any of them. At the end of the tour we had churros and the tequila tasting. You will not be disappointed with this tour!

Incredibly entertaining and delicious hands-on cooking experience
My husband and I did this activity for our anniversary and I can't say enough about how fun this is! All the positive reviews I read here built up quite an expectation and we were not disappointed at all. Chef Issa and Chef Carolina were our delightful hosts for this experience, but we got to meet more of their family throughout the day, including their mother. When I saw pictures online of the matching aprons participants wear, I worried it was some kind of corporate chain thing, but in the end I felt really good about supporting a family who put together a winning combination of learning, cooking, eating, and fun for guests. We were there on a tamale day, but the other dishes also sounded great. It is a very long activity, but it never felt that way to us. Everything was well-paced. It never felt slow and we never got hungry. After our tour around town to get ingredients (including an unexpected stop at a fantastic bakery next to the produce store), the first order of business was everyone helping to hand squeeze 200 limes for our margaritas. The tip on how to cut the limes to get the most juice out fastest is something I'll use at home for sure! Issa taught us how to mix our own margaritas right away, showing us how to alter it to our own tastes. Then, the alcohol and ingredients were kept out the whole time so we could keep practicing over the next hours. So, open bar margaritas! The cooking tasks were simple enough that everyone could participate as much or as little as they wanted. Along the way to tamales, we also made pico de gallo and two different kinds of guacamole, so there was a lot of snacking along the way. In the end, we not only had a huge meal with two different kinds of tamales we made. There was also mashed potatoes, salsas, and the guac/pico de gallo. We were so full. It was the only meal we ate that day and it was plenty. There was a tequila tasting at the end that I wasn't expecting, but we didn't feel pressured to buy any. Churros were also served during that with chocolate sauce or condensed milk. A nice touch was that a live drummer/singer playing with pre-recorded music tracks provided mellow or festive music throughout the day as the mood of the group called for it. It wasn't too loud or obtrusive. Mainly calm bossa nova at first and then more energetic later as more alcohol was had by the group. They gave us a link to all the recipes we used that day and more. I can't wait to try them out at home. I'd like to mention something to rebut a negative review I saw on TripAdvisor. Someone claimed that they were pressured into giving a 5 star review. That was not my experience at all. In fact, I didn't leave one there because I had so much to say, I didn't want to sit around typing on my phone. I'm at home in the U.S. giving this review of my own free will and will gladly tell everyone that this is a great activity to do!!

This tour is a must!
This was the best tour! Milton was amazing! Our only regret was that we didn't do it at the beginning of our trip instead of the end as we would've gone back to each stop for some of the best food and tequila.

Not just the food
Chef Alma was fabulous! Her knowledge of not only authentic Mexican cooking, but also the history of the area and tips on where to get authentic food added so much to the whole experience. There were eight of us and it was a perfect size for learning and socialization.

Great day
We really had the best time shopping and cooking. The live music was a great touch, and the food was all really good. It’s a super way to immerse yourself in Cabo.

Fun outing for everyone!
Carolina is a natural teacher. She explained everything we were doing in great detail. The markets we shopped at were a lot of fun. I wish we would have bought two packs of tortillas when we had the chance. The paella and tacos we made were really good. Of course the home made margaritas added to the flavor. There were other couples there who had done this same event multiple times because there is a new menu each time (and Carolina shares the recipes). We will be back.

You Can't Do Better
You can't do better than this experience to get a real flavor of Mexico. We started in the market to buy our food and ended in the kitchen making tortillas before eating the fruits of our labors. Francisco is an amazing host and makes you feel valued and treasured. Something we will do again the next time we visit Cabo.

A highlight of our whole trip!
We had an absolutely amazing time in our cooking class. Both hosts were very friendly and made us feel right at home in their kitchen. We learned so much and it was a great experience getting to cook in a Mexican home with experienced chefs. I would highly recommend it!

Wonderful time cooking with Chef Alberto and Doña Lily
Chef Alberto's cooking class was outstanding! He and his mother, Doña Lily made us feel so welcome in their home, which was enchanting. They showed us how to make cochinita pibil, along with tortillas, red sauce, green sauce, stuffed apple pepper with cream, rajas (strips of poblano peppers with onion slices, garlic, corn and cream), blue and white corn tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo, all from scratch--we roasted the poblano peppers, roasted the tomatoes, and made everything by hand. Chef Alberto even made margaritas, and then we got to eat everything. Delicious! And they were very patient when we messed up some of the tortillas, and super-friendly. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this cooking class with Chef Alberto and his mother Lily. The menu is determined by which day of the week you go. We will try to come back on a Wednesday so we can make Chicken Mole!

Fabulous cooking
This was a fabulous experience. Francisco shared his knowledge of Mexican cooking starting with the shopping in the Mexican market with the final serving of the food He opened his home along with his family who graciously taught us how to make birria, guacamole, salsas, homemade tortillas and Margaritas. Can’t recommend this by higher. I’d do it again
