Stopped by for an early dinner since it was close to our Airbnb. Tacos and guac were delicious, place was clean, well-decorated, and has a very comfortable atmosphere. Our server Martini was super friendly and we got to try a variety of gourmet small batch chocolate with the owner Issi before buying some to take home as gifts. There's even a neat little tequila room that has mini sizes you can take in your carry on luggage. No pushy sales tactics either, they don't try to pressure you to buy stuff since the product speaks for itself. Really nice change from the aggressive salespeople I've run into on this trip. Unfortunately haven't had the chance to try the food tour or cooking classes, maybe next time!In short: good food, relaxing atmosphere and very friendly people! Highly recommend.Edit: get the horchata smoothie! It's really good!

It was a lot of good food. I barely had room for dessert and tequila. This tour is so worth the cost. Our tour guide David was the best...very informative and friendly. Everyone was! I highly recommend this tour.

Alma and Gladys made us feel right at home in the kitchen and at the table. We asked for a lesson in preparing mole’, and they delivered…along with guacamole, a roasted salsa, fresh tortillas, and lots of other little tastes and tips!We had a blast…and the ‘ranch water’ really hit the spot!I highly recommend this cooking class for a perfect Mexican lunch and happy interesting chit-chat about Mexican culture and food!Jim C and Family

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.
