What you'll do:

You'll spend 2.5 hours in Chef Ari's kitchen learning to cook authentic Mexican dishes from scratch, using fresh local ingredients and recipes rooted in Cabo's culinary traditions.

• Pick your menu - Choose from classic Mexican recipes at the start of class, so the experience is shaped around what you want to cook and eat.

• Learn from a trained chef - Chef Ari walks you through each step, from prepping ingredients to plating, with technique tips you can actually use at home.

• Cook with fresh local ingredients - You'll work with produce and staples sourced from the region, which makes the flavors taste the way they're supposed to.

• Sit down and eat together - After cooking, you enjoy the full meal you just made, served in a relaxed setting at the partner location in Cabo San Lucas.

• Customize for your group's needs - Menus can be adjusted ahead of time for dietary restrictions, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, paleo, and dairy-free.

It's the kind of experience where the cooking is the activity, and the meal is the reward. Whether you're here for a bachelorette party, a birthday, or just a great group night out, this class gives everyone something to do, taste, and talk about.

Why we love it for your group:

• Fully hands-on format - Everyone participates in the cooking, so it never feels like watching a demo. It's active, social, and actually fun.

• Authentic Mexican recipes - These aren't generic dishes. Chef Ari uses traditional techniques and Cabo-sourced ingredients to keep it real.

• Natural group bonding - Cooking side by side with your crew creates a different kind of connection than dinner at a restaurant ever would.

• Flexible for any diet - Whether someone in your group is vegan, gluten-free, or has specific allergies, the menu can be adjusted in advance so no one misses out.

• Optional drink pairings - Wine or cocktail pairings may be available on request, which makes the whole meal feel a little more celebratory.
