My husband and I love taking cooking classes when we are overseas and we thoroughly enjoyed this one too. Josefina is very friendly, knowledgeable and a very good teacher. Very easy to book at the last minute and her house is very easy to find. She is very accommodating to allergies and food tastes. A little more hands-on with the... More

We booked with Josephina on line as we would be in port for the day on our cruise ship. Even with good instructions for our taxi driver he did have to zig and zag a bit to find the place but just charged us the standard rate from the pier. I won't go into all the details of the cooking... More

Josefina is a wonderful, personable lady. The trip to the market was fun and we enjoyed seeing fruits, vegetables, meats and fish that we were not familiar with. The cooking experience was fun and delicious. Josefina never rushed us to leave. Everything we made from guacamole, refried beans, cactus dish (yes cactus and very good), and entrees were fun to...

What a brilliant day we had with Josephina - quick chat about what we wanted to cook - walk to market to pick up the ingredients - then down to cooking. We kept our notes and have reproduced the meals we learnt in Cozumel since our return to Australia- Josephina's recipes are tasty and easy to create. A must do... More

Josephina was a delight...just a great hostess! This excursion was right up my alley. She shared many of her cooking secrets and allowed us to be hands on for much of the class. Food was delicious and the experience was all I had hoped it would be. Taxi ride from the ship was $7 one way. I hope to take... More

Josefina's cooking class introduced me to the basics of Mexican cooking. She was very helpful and our finished products were delicious. And her Margarita recipe was very good, too! Enjoyed going through the market to buy the ingredients. Finding her house was not difficult, but it's a 5 mile walk if your cruise ship is at the docks away from... More

An absolute delight, in every way - from selecting the menu with the other guests to shopping at the market, making the dishes to conversing with Josephina, the entire day was perfect. We came home with recipes and a better understanding of the local culture. And we enjoyed a lovely meal, trying lots of new things and revisiting some familiar... More

I just spent 3 hours with Josefina and 6 others at her cooking class. We are in Playa for 7 weeks and so far this is the highlight. We learnt so much and ate so much wonderful food. Josefina is truly professional and cannot do enough to make sure your time with her is all you hoped it to be.... More

We found Josefina through Trip Advisor. After a very easy process of registering, leaving a deposit via Paypal and getting directions, the day finally arrived. Our cruise ship had docked in Cozumel! We easily found her house and enjoyed every moment of her taking us shopping and teaching us how to prepare the most delicious authentic Mexican feast. It was... More

We booked this before we left for vacation. It was so easy to do and we thank Alfredo for making it so easy. My husband is a chef and we own a restaurant in Canada so a cooking class specializing in our favourite cuisine seemed a great fit for us! Josefina was excellent!! She welcomed us into her home, toured... More
