My family and I signed up for the Mole class which I wanted to learn to make Mole from scratch and mission accomplished. My entire family enjoyed the class and made a friend for life in Chef Alfredo and his lovely wife Kiara.

Amazing learning experience!Jun 2021We really enjoyed our day of cooking with Alfredo, one of the best days of our holidays! We started by collecting all the amazing local ingredients to make ceviche, tortillas, salsa, guacamole and more. We learned so much of the history of the town as well as the Mexican cuisine. Cooking in the characteristic open-air kitchen was just beautiful. Alfredo was an excellent, patient teacher, from fileting fish to baking the tortillas we felt like gaining such an insight to the local cuisine and the family recipes. He and his family were very warm and welcoming. We would definitely recommend this wonderful experience to everyone travelling in Huatulco!

What a great experience! My wife is a trained chef from Japan and really wanted to learn how to make authentic Mexican food. Alfredo is the man for that. He had someone pick us up from our hotel and we met him at the market. We got all the cooking supplies to make tamales, moles, tortillas, salsas, and everything else for a great meal. Oh yes everything for amazing margaritas too ha ha ha! Once we arrived at his kitchen we prepped and made all the food with Alfredo. He walked us through his family recipes and we all learned a lot. Of course eating time was the highlight. Alfredo and his family are amazing people and this is an experience I highly recommend for those that want to learn how to cook authentic Mexican food or just want to eat amazing food! When we come back we will definitely do another class.
