The tour is sanitary, adventurous, and full of engaging history. The first part of the tour is all eating, then the 2nd and 3rd part is exploration (with a mezcal tasting at the end!). Wonderfully planned out. Toured with 5 other folks plus Oscar. He was an amazing tour guide who spoke loud enough, answered our silly questions, and always looked out for locals and us. If you're on the fence or anything, just buy the tour. You'll have fun. I had already been in CDMX for 7 days and this was one of my favorites.

Now I understand more about my favorite food

Robert was wonderful Food was delicious 10/10 recommend

I took this class with Thomas, the chocolatier. I had a great time learning about the history and significance of coco / chocolate in Oaxaca and the world. I also witnessed and helped making chocolate …all delicious, and had a true pure chocolate drink! Thomas makes excellent truffles among other chocolate things…made great gifts for friends and family back home! This class is very much worth it!!

We had a truly wonderful experience shopping, prepping, cooking and of course eating. A very nice group of people. A good size class. Great for English speakers. A highlight of my visit to Oaxaca

Our family of 7 had a really good time. The chef is great and a wealth of knowledge! We learned about gardening in the jungle. We cooked and ate great food and everyone agreed it was a very fun day. I highly recommend it if you are interested in Yucatán food!

We loved the cooking class. Learning about the different ingredients at the market, techniques for making salsa, tortillas and mole. All the food was super flavorful, and such fun to sit together and enjoy the food. Would definitely recommend the class!

Jose was absolutely thorough in explaining the recipes, their history and how they relate culturally! Highest recommendation possible

What an awesome time learning sooo many new recipes! We loved being in her home with her company.

It wasn't a class it was a food tour and it was great fun. I had a private guide as no one else had signed up for the Monday tour which was very nice. My guide was full of information about the food and the neighbourhood, and the food was delicious!

My family took a similar class in Cabo last year and had a wonderful and memorable time. When I knew that we were going to be going to Huatulco this spring I made it a priority to seek out cooking class experiences that resembled this model. I chose Wahaca Cooking School because of all of the positive online reviews mentioning classes led by Alfredo. Unplanned, but it also turned out the cooking school was a short 2 minute walk from our hotel. It couldn’t be more convenient! Along with my family of three, there were a several other groups of one and two in our class. We made tacos (chicken, beef, shrimp & fish) fresh from scratch bottom to top along with some salsas to accompany them. Along the way we heard many anecdotes from Alfredo that drive his passion for cooking. We learned the criteria for a perfect tortilla and discovered just the level of skill required to achieve it…we will be practicing that for a long time😂 In short, we had so much fun doing this hands-on adventure. It never felt like “class”. We met a bunch of great folks from Canada and no one left hungry after we sat down to enjoy the fruits of our efforts in creating a taco fiesta. I hope I am lucky enough to return to Huatulco. Seeking out the mole and tamale classes will be first on my list!

I have taken many food tours and cooking classes, and this was my absolute favorite ever! The entire experience is very special. The class started with a tour of a very local market and was held in Natalia’s beautiful home. The day finished with us enjoying the best salsas I’ve ever tasted in my life. Thank you for a magical day!

This was one of the activities I was most looking forward in Oaxaca and it did not disappoint. The shopping at the market was a great way to start the workshop and I was introduced to a few new ingredients. It was so fun to be a part of of the group cooking and we made an incredible meal. A few things to note, it is a relaxed environment so everyone gets random tasks to help prepare the meal and you get to rotate to different stations in the kitchen. Also the people in my group were from a variety of sources and some signed up for a vegetarian cooking class, no worries they can make everything vegan!

Natalia was an excellent instructor. We walked through the market place, and she talked about how to pick up the best vegetables. She encouraged me to speak Spanish since I need the practice. Her kitchen is not far from the market maybe about 5 minutes. She was warm and friendly to talk to and clear on what we should be doing at any given time. The tasks were organized. She clearly had taught before. She informed us of the history of the burrito. The burrito was excellent. She precooked the beef to speed things along, but we made fresh guacamole, cut up the vegetables and tortillas from scratch. There was so much food! We only were able to eat one burrito each, but made three tortillas. She wanted to send us home with the rest, but unfortunately our hotel didn't have any way of storing and reheating the ingredients. We were given the instructions in a PDF, so we could replicate the burrito at home. This was my favorite cooking class that I have taken! So glad I found this class.

I take cooking classes in every country I go to. This was genuinely the best experience I’ve ever had. Eduardo explained things so well, was receptive of my spice tolerance and dietary restrictions, and was just a fun person to be around. The food was obviously unbelievable. The mole with chicken, and then the salsa we made… everything was 10/10, and a meal that I will ALWAYS remember..
