So fun. Great experience for the whole family.
One of the best cooking experiences EVER! The food was fresh, the instructions were easy and Alberto with his mom are the perfect teachers. I wish we had time to take a second class - do not pass on this opportunity!
This was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had in Cancún. Chef Alberto and his lovely mom Lili welcomed us with so much warmth — it truly felt like home. We didn’t just learn how to cook; we discovered the heart and soul of Mexican cuisine through their stories, flavors, and love. Every dish was delicious and made with care. If you’re visiting Cancún, don’t miss this. It’s an unforgettable and heartfelt experience. 100% recommended!
Chef Alberto and his mom Lily welcomed us into their kitchen like family—from the very start, the energy was fun, relaxed, and full of laughter. We learned how to make several delicious and fresh sides, homemade salsas, and two types of taco filling. The drinks were refreshing, and the food was easily some of the best we had during our time in Cancun. What made it truly special, though, was the atmosphere: dancing while we cooked, joking around, and hearing stories and jokes from the hosts made it feel less like a class and more like hanging out with friends. You can tell how much heart they put into what they do. If you're looking for a unique, flavorful, and joy-filled experience, this is it.
Thank you for your wonderful review about your Traveling Spoon cooking class in Cancun with Chef Alberto and his mother Lily. We are so happy to hear that you felt welcomed like family and that the evening was filled with laughter, delicious food, and genuine connection. From cooking fresh sides and homemade salsas to dancing and sharing stories, it sounds like a joyful and memorable experience. We especially loved hearing how relaxed and fun the atmosphere was. That is exactly the kind of meaningful travel we aim to offer. Thank you again for your kind words. We hope to welcome you on another flavorful experience soon.
