What To Expect

Begin your experience inside a true Mexican home kitchen, where authentic local flavors and hands-on cooking come together in a small-group setting.

Meet your local host and fellow travelers to begin your culinary adventure. No prior cooking experience is necessary, and you’re bound to learn something new about Mexican cuisine and culture, whether you’re a novice or an expert chef.

Together, you’ll prepare traditional Mexican dishes such as burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, along with appetizers and the classic margarita.

As you follow step-by-step guidance throughout the class, you’ll learn practical methods used locally that are easy to recreate back home. Your host will also capture candid photos to help you remember the experience.

Most ingredients are easy to find worldwide, and you’ll receive a digital recipe book plus a curated Cancun Food Guide to keep exploring local flavors.

When the meal is ready, sit together to enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared and toast with a homemade margarita and a complimentary glass of wine.

You’ll leave with recipes, practical skills, meaningful moments, keepsakes — and the peace of mind of our 5-star money-back guarantee.
