Absolutely the best activity during our stay in San Jose Del Cabo! Francisco is warm, energetic and superbly skilled at his craft: teaching others how to prepare outstanding authentic Mexican cuisine! He and his wonderful wife, Luz, made our group of 6 feel like we were enjoying a meal at our favorite cousin’s home! Please consider this a “don’t miss” outing for your Los Canos vacation!

Such a fun and memorable experience! Pablo and his wife Luz made us feel like family. We made delicious tamales and enchiladas, enjoyed amazing hibiscus margaritas, and shopped locally. A highlight of our trip to San José del Cabo—we highly recommend it!

Super fun experience, but a bit rushed. They tried to fit a LOT into a three hour period. Make margaritas, make salsa, make guac, dance, make tortillas, eat tacos, learn a tequila history lesson.While all of it was entertaining, none of it was able to be fully enjoyed as we rushed from activity to activity.Would still highly recommend.

The COOKIN' family
Discover Authentic Mexico, One Bite at a Time
Our journey began in 2012 with Cookin' Vallarta and a simple idea: to share the Mexico we love through food, family, and hands-on cooking.
What started as a small family business was also a way to create something that allowed us to spend more quality time with the people we love—our spouses, children, and parents.
Over the years, that personal dream grew into a shared mission: to be proud ambassadors of Mexico, its people, and its culture. We believe one of the best ways to experience Mexico is to cook it, taste it, and share it.
That is why our hands-on Mexican cooking classes go beyond recipes. We introduce travelers to authentic ingredients, traditional techniques, local markets, and the stories behind the food—creating an experience that feels personal, welcoming, and genuinely Mexican.
The COOKIN' Family
In 2015, our family grew with the launch of Juan More Taco Tours in Cabo San Lucas. As our passion for sharing Mexico through food continued to grow, so did the COOKIN' family, bringing hands-on Mexican cooking experiences to new destinations across Mexico.
Today, the COOKIN' family spans Vallarta, Los Cabos, San José, Playa del Carmen, and Cancún. Behind each destination is a team of chefs and guides who are more than colleagues—we are friends, family, and people who have grown together through the years.
Some of us are connected by blood. Others became family through friendship, shared experiences, and a common love for Mexico and its food.
Wherever you join us, you'll find the same spirit at the heart of COOKIN': authentic food, genuine hospitality, and a team that loves sharing Mexico with the people who come to experience it.
Join us on a culinary journey and experience the true taste of Mexico, just like the locals do.
