Summary:
We had a wonderful time learning how to make salsas, emapnadas, sopa, and margaritas at Wahaca cooking class. I loved that it was in Alfredos' kitchen and home. It felt like being with friends. A wonderful experience. I can't wait to return and try another cooking class.

Summary:
My 13 year old son and I attended the "Tacos and Margaritas" class with Alfredo and we had so much fun! We learned about the local area, Mexican culture & traditions, food preparation and more! Alfredo is a great teacher, very organized & professional and yet a lot of fun - we highly recommended spending a few hours of your vacation with him. The art of making fresh tortillas was what my 13 year old loved the most.
We will be back with the whole family next time.
