About this experience
Have you ever seen a kitchen with six different stoves? Here we have it, and you and your partner, family and friends, can use it! Amazing, isn't it? The best way to enjoy a culinary experience is by having all the guests cook at the same time, and we make that happen! It’s a wonderful opportunity to have fun, learn from one another, and share culinary tips while also benefiting from the main chef's suggestions. A lovely garden atmosphere completes the experience! Transportation from/to downtown Playa del Carmen is included too, from an official meeting point, avoiding you to get public transport.

Authentic food, fun and I learned lots!
Fantastic experience! Coty is a passionate teacher who wanted us to enjoy amazing and authentic Mexican cuisine, learn new skills and have fun! I am better at chopping herbs, de-seeding peppers, making guacamole, and sipping Mezcal :) The soup we made was beyond delicious and will be a regular at home, and now I know how to make the best tortilla chips - better than any you can buy in the shops. I was a margarita fan but now mezcalitas all the way. Fabio made sure everything ran like clockwork and is utterly charming. Thank you Coty and Fabio - we had a blast! Anna and fam
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Anna and family, for such a wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such a fun and delicious experience with us. Chef will be so happy to hear that her passion for authentic Mexican cuisine, mezcalitas, and hands-on cooking came through, and that your chopping, guacamole, and tortilla chip skills are now next level! We love knowing the soup will become part of your family table back home. And yes… once you discover mezcalitas, there’s no going back 😊 We’re so grateful you chose to cook, laugh, and share this experience with us. Want to see you again, for more Mexican flavors and mezcal adventures! Warmly, Soul Experiences Mexico

Good atmosphere, rich dishes, good tequila!
We had an excellent experience and had a lot of fun, learning how to be a true chef! Fabio accompanied us and made us host (very friendly), you lie the chef was the one who showed us all the corridors, very professionally, also taught us about all the chiles what is in Mexico, and we ended up with a class and tequila and! Very delicious! I recommend it to 1000!!!
Response from the operator: ¡Muchísimas gracias por su increíble reseña! 😊 Nos llena de alegría saber que tuvieron una experiencia tan divertida y especial con nosotros! Fue un placer compartir nuestra pasión por la cocina mexicana, los chiles, y por supuesto… ¡el tequila! 🌶️🥃 Fabio estará feliz de saber que disfrutaron de su compañía y hospitalidad, y la chef les agradece mucho sus lindas palabras sobre la clase y la experiencia culinaria. Nos encanta que hayan aprendido, probado sabores auténticos y pasado un momento memorable juntos. Gracias de corazón por recomendarnos al 1000%. ¡Queremos recibirlos de nuevo muy pronto, para seguir cocinando y brindando juntos! Con cariño, Soul Experiences Mexico

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mexican cooking, tequila & mezcal experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Mexican cooking, tequila & mezcal experience cost?
+
Prices start at $159 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mexican cooking, tequila & mezcal experience take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Mexican cooking, tequila & mezcal experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mexican cooking, tequila & mezcal experience?
+
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 Mexican cooking, tequila & mezcal experience suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Mexican cooking, tequila & mezcal experience?
+
Around 1 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mexican cooking, tequila & mezcal experience 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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.
