The 10 Best Cooking Classes in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo
Playa del Carmen is one of the top diving destinations in the world, thanks to vibrant sea life and dazzling underwater caverns. On dry land, Playa is a hipper and more modern version of the fishing village it once was. Spend some quality time on the golf course or wave hello to the playful spider monkeys at The Jungle Place sanctuary. Explore the ancient ruins of the Coba Mayan Village, or get in some quality people-watching as you shop and stroll along 5th Avenue.

After spending two weeks in Mexico diving and seeing so many wonderful sights, Cookin’ Playa with Alma was the high point of our visit. Alma made the day very special for us and is such a wonderful person to spend time with. Her many years as Chef and growing up in the home of a professional Chef are revealed in her knowledge of the culinary arts, but its the ability to share those skills that really shine. Alma was such a gracious hostess and so much fun to talk and cook with. We made guacamole, tamales, salsa, cactus, tortillas & street tacos and some of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. If I could have booked a week of classes with Alma I would have done it.

My wife and I took a 3 hr cooking class with Karla while staying at Andaz resort. Wow! Karla was great. I must first preface that I found her on FaceBook and she responded right away. She asked us if we had any food allergy (yes shellfish) and what we like to eat etc. She came up with a phenomenal menu. Our class started promptly at 11:00 at which time we met three other soon-to-be chefs. Karla started with the mandatory Mexcalitis which got us started on the Guacamole. We made it from scratch and then we moved on the main course "Axtec Cake" aka Mexican Lasagna. Lots of ingredients - lots of prep and delicious. We also made chicken flautas topped with green sauce & pico de gallo. Once all the food was ready we sat down to lunch and excellent Mexican wines. Kudos to Karla - she is not only an excellent instructor but a gracious and entertaining hostess. (she also emailed the recipes so we can have our own Mexican cooking party) Will return next to see what Karla can surprise us with. Muchas Gracias Muchas Gracias

We just spent a wonderful and very entertaining evening in the la tortilla cooking school. It is amazing how much work a Mexican mole is. We tried a lot of ingredience we do not have at home, which was very interesting and delicious. We think that there is no chance to try more traditional Mexican food in Playa del Carmen and we really enjoyed our visit in the cooking school!
