Ali was our instructor and she was fantastic. We made Costa Rican salad and casado (the “traditional plate”). Making the corn tortillas was a highlight for sure. Great for any skill level. Thumbs up!

The location was terrific and great ambiance. The food was very good, but only suggestion is to let the customers do more of the actual cooking rather than watch you.
