This was our second time taking the cooking class. Chef Francisco meets you @ a local market. You pick out your ingredients for what you will be making that day while he explains local foods & produce. You hop in his car, pick up some masa from a local shop & then head to his home. We were welcomed into his home with open arms. We made hibiscus margaritas, 2 different types of salsa, guacamole, Rojas, homemade tortillas & Carnitas. The food was absolutely amazing but the time spent with family & Chef Francisco was priceless. I would highly recommend this experience!

Francisco is an amazing person, teacher and cook. What a fantastic excursion especially for a family or small group of friends. Well worth the money. So much fun. Food was amazing. Carnitas. Bomb. Best ever Get ready to get your cook on and your margarita drinking on. Everything is made from scratch!!! 4.5 hour excursion from the time you meet Francisco at the market to shop for all of your meat and veggies.

I had a horrible experience. I went to the class in Cobo San Lucas one mile from my hotel and was told the class was 25 miles away. They could not take me because they had 11 people and it was supposed to be a class of 6. Viator changed my reservation from Wednesday to Thursday. I am out the money plus the upset of the day. I plan to post this on your website

This was such a fun experience. A great way to learn the local cuisine. From shopping the ingredients at the local market to eating the delicious food. Don't pass up this tour.

6 hours, too long. Lots of wasted time waiting. The food was great but we could have done the same thing in 3hours.

Educational. Entertaining. Delicious. Francisco is very entertaining to listen to as you learn about the foods you choose to prepare the meal and the different meaning of the foods to different regions. You will be fed well and feel good when you are done.

Excellent! What an experience to learn about how to pick out the best produce, and meat to make our meal. Our tour started at the local farmers market. Upon arrival, Franciso asked us about any food allergies. I'm not sure if he asked about preferences but I explained I had a sensitive stomach and did not like onions and peppers. I think everyone thought that I was crazy for being at a Mexican cooking class. My husband is the one that likes to cook and be both like Mexican food. He was able to make me a very tasty salsa and guacamole before onions were added! We also had a quick stop at the local tortilla factory which included a sample of a fresh hot tortilla. The best! We then went to Francisco's warm inviting home where we first started with how to make a hibiscus margarita. Why don't they offer more of those in the US?! We created a EXCELLENT meal of homemade tortilla's, rajas poblanos - an equivalent to the American green bean casserole but much better and made with roasted poblano peppers, corn, creama, garlic cloves and onions, tomatillo sauce, salsa, guacamole and pork carnitas. This was the best Mexican meal that I have ever had!! I definitely learned a lot. I think my husband was surprised at the flavor with out having the onions and peppers in my salsa and guac. I even tried the rajas poblanos, of course without onions and peppers, it was good. It would be fun to recreate with just the corn. Thank you Franciso for one of the best experiences from Trip Advisor!

Francisco is a lot of fun and shares his food knowledge along the way. Everything we made was excellent and there was a LOT of food! Sign up. You won’t be disappointed.

This is such a great experience. We learned about the different ingredients and got to shop the different vendors for our fresh local food. Francisco was amazing and very hospitable. It was so much fun!

Chef Francisco treated our little group to an outstanding trip through the market to gather ingredients for a spectacular Posole. We learned about some of his criteria as he selected his produce and then picked up many tips on the preparation while we prepared the meal together. It was really quite a lot of fun and the snacks and meal were excellent. We love the business model with the local chefs offering their family traditions. Whether back in San Jose Del Cabo or elsewhere, we will seek out experiences like this in the future. To Francisco and his sous chef, Angel, thanks for a great day!

Chef Francisco was amazing. We learned lots of tips and tricks and made some wonderful tamales and salsa. I can’t wait to duplicate it at home. It was a fun day for making new friends and enjoying drinks and food. If you enjoy cooking, don’t miss this one.

Amazing! Highly recommend this experience. So authentic and friendly. Chef Francisco is knowledgeable, gave tons of insights that you normally would not know, and prepared a 100% delish meal and taught us how to do it. Absolutely doing again when I return to Cabo.

One of the best tours we have done on any trip globally. Truly authentic and reflected the people and culture of the region. Chef Francisco was amazing and taught us some very useful tips to get the best ingredients at the local market and then with his guidance we were able to create a fantastic meal! The small group we had (5 only) made the experience so enjoyable and inspired us to recreate the recipes in our own homes as well! Can’t wait to come back to SJD and cook with Chef Francisco again!

Francisco was magnificent, from picking out produce and meat at the market to learning proper techniques for cutting and preparing food. He explained everything perfectly and our tomales, guacamole, poblano peppers and all of our food was exceptional!! The margaritas were delicious and he and his team did everything to make us feel welcome!! I would recommend this class to anyone who loves to cook!!!

What an experience-Francisco is so knowledgeable about local produce, explained how REAL tortillas are made (and we got to taste one - as fresh as they come!), and took us to his own home to cook unbelievable tamales. I cannot thank Francisco enough for welcoming us into his home, sharing his knowledge, and making us truly fresh, delicious, authentic Mexican (Mess-ican , as he calls it) food. We took the class in a small group setting (5 people), which was really ideal. Best margaritas too!!

Another fine cooking experience with Francisco!!! This is our third cooking class with Francisco and once again he hit it out of the park with Birria Tacos. So good. The best part is learning the process to take home to enjoy and recreate the experience. Always a fantastic experience as he opens his home to the group and imparts his knowledge of the local fare.

We had a great time with Francisco! We shopping in the market and learned some interesting facts, went to the tortilla factory then to his home to cook! He was an outstanding teacher and chef! Since it was Tuesday we made mole sauce to go with our chicken enchiladas, guac, pico, several salsas, and margaritas! He was an excellent host!
