Cooking Class in Cancun with Local Chef

The class is interactive from the first cut of the knife to the final garnish. You will prepare multiple traditional dishes step by step, using time-tested techniques that go far beyond following a recipe. Your chef explains the role of each ingredient and how small changes affect flavor, texture, and heat.

The atmosphere remains personal and unhurried. This is not a demonstration you simply watch. You cook. You taste. You adjust the seasoning as the food evolves. Between steps, your chef shares culinary stories, cultural context, and practical cooking tips you can use long after the tour ends.

When everything is ready, you sit down together to enjoy the full meal you created from scratch. Freshly prepared dishes, homemade salsas, and handmade elements come together into a complete Mexican lunch. For travelers who value authenticity, interaction, and real skills over staged performances, this private market and cooking experience delivers a deeper connection to Cancun’s food culture. Every day you will enjoy a different menu such as: Steak, Pastor and chorizo ​​tacos, Barbecue and quesabirrias, Chicken with mole and rice, Red and green tamales, and Cochinita pibil. In all the classes, we will also cook: Mexican salsa, Red salsa in a molcajete, Guacamole, Comal tortillas, and Rajas poblanas with cream
