    Go! Go! Go!

    A great experience for people of all ages. We brought our 17y.o. son & he enjoyed it. Joshua was fun! Apollo the dog was the cherry on top.

    Best experience in Cabo

    Karina was an amazing hostess who gave us a wonderful history of Cacao and Mole as well as a tasting. You can tell that she and her family love people, their familia, and their guests. From the class, the shopping at the market and the warm tortillas at the tortilla factory, it was an amazing experience. Chef Issy(sp?) brought us to his house to prepare a glorious feast including hand made margaritas (I will never use margarita mix again!) and a good time was had by all. This was the best experience and we will definitely do this again next time. I can not recommend this enough. Also, it was very clean/sanitary with plenty of opportunities for hand washing/washroom. Our new friends from the tour group were so much fun. Do it!

    Food shopping allowed us...

    Food shopping allowed us to experience the culture more closely. And to prepare and cook the food we shopped for was amazing. The food was delicious. The presenters were knowledgeable and made the class interesting

    This was a wonderful...

    This was a wonderful experience! The margaritas were to die for, and the food we cooked was exceptional! Well worth the expense for 4 1/2 hours of fun! We will definitely do this again on our next trip to Cabo!

    Response from the operator: Hola Nancy! We’ll be happily waiting for your next visit to Cabo San Lucas! Muchas gracias!

    Authentic feast.

    What a fabulous day. First we all met and learned some history of Mole and cacao. Then, it was off to shopping to buy ingredients from local markets. When we got back to the kitchen, we learned how to make amazing fresh margaritas. Then it was pico de gallo, guacamole, and tamales. Truly a feast. Carina and Isse could. It have been better hosts.

    Response from the operator: Hola Jennifer! Thank you for making us a part of your visit to Cabo San Lucas! We highly appreciate your visit!

    Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.

    How much does Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets cost?

    +

    Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Cabos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Los Cabos is not rushed.

    Is Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,001 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets?

    +

    Around 350 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Los Cabos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Los Cabos and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Los Cabos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Los Cabos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Los Cabos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo Whale Watching: Female Crew, Guaranteed Sightings, Photos, Cabo San Lucas Sunset Cruise with Open Bar and Snacks, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Los Cabos?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Los Cabos?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets?

    +

    Included: Professional chef; Lunch; and Beverages. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Please ask your taxi driver to drop you off at "MERCABO GOURMET STREET FOOD RESTAURANT" on Calle Ignacio Zaragoza 121, between Niños Heroes and Lazaro Cardenas street (a few steps of "Estacionamiento Aramburo") Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
