    Cooking with Chef Oscar(? Sp)

    We learned how to make empanadas, salsa, and guacamole with Chef Oscar. He was a great teacher and we exchanged stories. The mezcal tasting was also educational. It was time well spent and way too much food.

    Great family experience...

    Great family experience learning how to make guacamole and empanadas in San Jose del Cabo. My son wanted to take a cooking class in Mexico, and we loved the experience. It was a relaxed experience with a great teacher and some good drinks for my wife and me. It was just our family in the class, and they did well with our 8 and 11-year old sons.

    Fantastic time with Chef!!!

    Wow, what an amazing and delicious time we had. Our teacher was awesome! He helped us understand what to do to make delicious Salsa and Guacamole. And then empanadas!! It was delicious and amazing. The margaritas were huge and delicious. There were only two of us with Oscar. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend

    Such a fun afternoon learning to make seriously delicious dishes!

    This was such a fun experience and worth every penny. I went with my family including two 20 year old boys. The folks at Alma de Mexico made us feel so unbelievably welcome, The outdoor setting is great, the ingredients so fresh, and the instruction is excellent. We made amazing salsa, guacamole, and then empanadas. It was leisurely, the food and drinks were delicious, the conversation lively, and we all had a great time even the less culinarily skilled amongst us. We highly recommend this outing!

    Oscar was the chef, and he was amazing! We made pico de gallo, guacamole, and ceviche. Oscar shared his culinary background and life experiences from Mexico. He also teaches skateboarding to young kids! He's passionate about food, and he loves giving lessons. Everything we made was very fresh and delicious.

    Cooking classes + margaritas and mezcal tasting: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Jose del Cabo.

    How much does Cooking classes + margaritas and mezcal tasting cost?

    +

    Prices start at $108 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Jose del Cabo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cooking classes + margaritas and mezcal tasting take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 San Jose del Cabo is not rushed.

    Is Cooking classes + margaritas and mezcal tasting worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Jose del Cabo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cooking classes + margaritas and mezcal tasting?

    +

    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 Cooking classes + margaritas and mezcal tasting suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cooking classes + margaritas and mezcal tasting?

    +

    Around 11 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 San Jose del Cabo 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 San Jose del Cabo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cooking classes + margaritas and mezcal tasting 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 San Jose del Cabo 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 San Jose del Cabo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every San Jose del Cabo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo Electric Bike Beach Adventure with Margaritas and Lunch, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, La Paz Whale Shark Snorkeling Tour and Lunch From Los Cabos. 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 San Jose del Cabo?

    +

    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 San Jose del Cabo?

    +

    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 Cooking classes + margaritas and mezcal tasting?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Ceviche Class (2 hrs aprox); and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Transportations; and Gratuities and tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Cooking classes + margaritas and mezcal tasting?

    +
