Mexican cooking, tequila & mezcal experience
Overview
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.
