This was the best experience of our 8-day Holiday in Mexico
We stepped away from the resort life and jumped right into the local authentic kitchen. Chef Alejandra was a pleasure to learn from and answered our questions to make us understand how the flavors mesh, compliment and balance properly. Having lunch at the end of the course that we prepared with her guidance was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Will return next time we are here.

A wonderful experience!
We were here for a bachelorette party and had a really good time cooking together. It was wonderful to learn about the country, the heritage, and the ease of cooking really good food. Highly recommend enjoying the jungle with some new friends and refining cooking techniques.

Chef Rosalia Chay Chuc in Yaxuna.
We had the pleasure of experiencing the BBQ Cochinita Pibil Experience in Yaxuna, Yucatan. The experience was unique. The presentation was well-organized, fun and informative. The food was excellent. I would highly recommend this for adventurous travelers and/or serious foodies. This experience exceeded my expectations and I am very glad we did it--now you should too.

A great and delicious experience!
We enjoyed the Friday menu on our recent vacation. It was a great food and cultural experience. The small groups, great teaching, and recipes we can't wait to try and recreate made it worth it. The food was fun and delicious. The setting is beautiful and fun. If we have chance we will definitely return in the future to try some more menu items.

Chef Rosalia Chay Chuc, Yaxunah Yucatán MX
Thank you! We journeyed to the class, we experienced and listened, we participated, then we feasted. We took notes and asked questions. Our leaders explained in great detail in which we learned so much. Thank you, as professionals this was a terrific experience.

Simply an amazing culinary experience!
An organic process between Chef Alejandra and each ingredient. We discussed the cultural significance of the food as well as it’s importance to the community. We laughed told stories as well as solved the worlds problems all while slicing and dicing. Again, a must do experience!

Best Cochinita I have ever had
The food is so good! To get to experience the knowledge of traditional cooking Rosalia holds is a priceless experience, she makes you feel at home, the food is to die for and a well rounded experience all together. It is a bit far from Tulum but if you go to Chichen-Itza its already close to you and if Chichen-Itza is closed it is still worth it! There is also a Cenote a few blocks from Rosalia's house you can visit in the morning.

Best vacation day ever!
We had the best day of our vacation here. Maybe the best day of any vacation. The spot is beautiful. The instruction is not limited to cooking it’s also a food history lesson. The team were absolutely welcoming and kind. The chef was very friendly and full of great cooking advice and interesting stories. We can’t wait to go again on a different day for a different menu.
