Chef Gustavo was an excellent teacher. He answered all of our questions and really took the time to make sure we understood everything and were very comfortable. Already planning on booking another class!

Had a nice relaxing evening. The food was amazing. We got to be hands on, and learn some new techniques.

As a self-proclaimed foodie or Hispanic heritage - I had high expectations, and Chef Gustavo did not disappoint. Not only was the food orgasmically AMAZING but it was an evening filled with great conversation about culture, history, and so much more! The laughs were not scarce thanks to Chef Gustavo. I can't wait to do this again.
