I absolutely loved this cooking class! Chef Alma went above and beyond by not only teaching us how to prepare the dishes but also weaving in the history and cultural background behind each recipe. It made the experience so much richer and gave me a deeper appreciation of the food. She also shared fantastic recommendations on local restaurants and where to shop for authentic ingredients and kitchenware, which was such a thoughtful touch. The class was hands-on, approachable, and fun — I left feeling more confident in the kitchen and inspired to keep cooking authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or living here!
