Master the secrets of the comal and traditional Al Pastor marinade with the Caribbean Sea as your backdrop. Afterward, skip the crowds and use our secure lockers and 150Mbps Wi-Fi to enjoy a stress-free day of swimming and shopping on the Mahahual boardwalk. It’s the perfect blend of cultural immersion and a relaxing beach break.

Claudia and the other ladies were amazing. There were 8 total in our class. It was very organized and we learned to make pastor pork for tacos, guacamole, pico de gallo, and homemade tortillas. Then we ate our creations. It is located directly across from the beach with lots of shopping and I got a $25 hour massage prior to the class on the beach.

This was a fun experience. Let them know in advance if you do not eat pork as Al Pastor is usually made with pork, they will sub chicken.

Wonderful experience! Claudia and Liss (and Chayo!) were wonderful hosts and made cooking and eating fun! Would highly recommend this for anyone visiting Costa Maya. Take a taxi for $5 / person there and back. Get there early or stay late to also enjoy the beautiful beach the restaurant is overlooking.

Diego and the ladies were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived early, and they provided a private class for us. The food was delicious and we had a nice time. Afterwards, my aunt hung out while I had a massage on the beach. Afterwards, they helped us get a taxi back to the ship. We had a delightful day. I wish them luck and would definitely recommend this tour.

Since we only had a short stay from the ship, we specifically searched for a suitable activity and came across the cooking class at Jaguar Cafe – a really great decision. The course was super organized and really fun. Together with the owner or cook we prepared tortillas, which was not only interesting but also very entertaining. The atmosphere was relaxed and warm, the service top and the quality also outstanding. It was particularly positive that everything adapted flexibly to our ship times – which made the process much more relaxed for us. We felt completely comfortable and enjoyed the morning very much. Especially considering that the beach in Costa Maya itself is not special and you are often approached there, this was the best decision for us. For the few hours it was a really successful and fun experience that we can absolutely recommend.
