    This cooking class was so...

    This cooking class was so much fun, but still informative. Loved the food, loved the friendly competition, and of course the delicious margaritas! The Mescal tasting was so enlightening and showed the real passion behind the spirit! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience a little local fun while enjoying great food and company.

    Worth it for the food and the fun!

    This was one of our favorite activities on our vacation! We learned how to make tamales, and I can't wait to try making them back home. While the tamales were cooking, we made salsas and guacamole- everyone had their own molcajete and could season their salsa and guacamole to their own preferences. We also enjoyed delicious margaritas. The staff were super friendly, and the overall restaurant atmosphere was calm - our small group had a great time meeting the other people and working with the chef, hearing stories, etc. Don't miss this!

    Stop scrolling and set your reservation!

    Ok, so if you are looking at the reviews then you are trying to decide if you should try this experience. Well stop reading the reviews and put your money on the table! This was so much fun and very up close and personal. Oscar, the chef, is a kind soul who is a self described, Hippie! He is very knowledgeable in the art of cooking and desires to build relationships and the love of cooking with those who come and learn. We chose to make Tamales. They were fun to make and a joy to eat! The conversation and margaritas flowed like a good time amongst old friends. We ate so much and even took a box to go with what we could not finish. We have already made plans to have a tamale making party back home. Don’t scroll anymore! Reserve your spot with Chef Oscar right now!!

    Tamales cooking class with Oscar

    We had an amazing class with Oscar learning how to make traditional tamales, salsa and guacamole - all very delicious. The drinks Lulu made for us were amazing - simply a wonderful afternoon and would definitely recommend!

    Fabulous time and great food!

    We loved our time at Alma de Mexico! Such a welcoming and enjoyable cooking class with Oscar. Hands down my favorite activity in Los Cabos so far and we are already planning to return on our next visit. The food was delicious, conversation great, and the whole experience felt warm and inviting. Love that it was at a small, family owned and run restaurant. Highly recommend!

    Tamales or chiles rellenos cooking class,tequila & Mezcal tasting: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tamales or chiles rellenos cooking class,tequila & Mezcal tasting cost?

    +

    Prices start at $116 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 Tamales or chiles rellenos cooking class,tequila & 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 Tamales or chiles rellenos cooking class,tequila & Mezcal tasting worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 Tamales or chiles rellenos cooking class,tequila & 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 Tamales or chiles rellenos cooking class,tequila & 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 Tamales or chiles rellenos cooking class,tequila & Mezcal tasting?

    +

    Around 7 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 Tamales or chiles rellenos cooking class,tequila & 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?

    +

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.
