Taking a three-hour cooking class with your someone special is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the flavors of Mexico. Chef Alma from Cookin’ Playa couldn’t have been more welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable about both Mexican cuisine and its rich history.
We started by making fresh tortillas from scratch. The salsas we prepared were quick and bursting with flavor and the taquitos were absolutely delicious. Every dish we created was something we could easily recreate at home, making the experience not just enjoyable but practical as well. Also, the class catered well for vegetarian and vegan options.
Beyond the cooking, Chef Alma shared fascinating insights into Mexican culinary traditions, ingredients, and even a bit of local history—including why Playa del Carmen has its name!
This class was a true highlight of our trip, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable activity in Playa del Carmen. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, you’ll leave with new skills, great memories, and a full stomach!

Chef Alma was fabulous! Her knowledge of not only authentic Mexican cooking, but also the history of the area and tips on where to get authentic food added so much to the whole experience. There were eight of us and it was a perfect size for learning and socialization.
