Master the Art of Authentic Mexican Al Pastor Tacos in a Private Cozumel Kitchen


Discover the secrets behind Mexico's most iconic street food in this immersive afternoon cooking class held in a local Cozumel home. You will learn to prepare traditional tacos, including the legendary Al Pastor, known for its complex spice profile and savory depth. This hands-on experience provides a unique opportunity to step inside a family kitchen and gain practical culinary skills that you can easily replicate for friends and family back in your own hometown.


The class focuses on the technique of creating Trompitos, the miniature vertical spits used by street vendors to roast marinated pork to perfection. Your host will guide you through every step of the process, from selecting the right ingredients to layering the meat and achieving the ideal char. By working in a cozy, authentic setting, you gain a deeper appreciation for the patience and precision required to create these beloved Mexican culinary staples from scratch.


Beyond the meat preparation, you will also learn to craft fresh salsas, beans, and traditional drinks that complement the meal. The intimate environment ensures that you receive personalized attention, allowing you to ask questions and refine your techniques throughout the afternoon. This is not just a cooking lesson; it is a cultural exchange that connects you with the local traditions of Cozumel through the universal language of food, ensuring a memorable and educational experience.


As the grand finale of your culinary journey, you will sit down at the family dinner table to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Sharing a meal you prepared yourself is the ultimate reward for your hard work in the kitchen. This relaxed, social atmosphere provides the perfect conclusion to your class, leaving you with a full stomach and a new set of recipes to impress your guests at your next dinner party.

An Unforgettable Day of Cozumel Culture and Cooking! We spent nearly four hours completely immersed in authentic Cozumel culture, and it was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to bring my husband and boys back to do it, too! First stop: the local local market (not the touristy one) where we learned about which ingredients are native versus imported, how to pick the freshest produce, and did a little shopping for souvenirs. Next stop: right across the street for fresh, warm tortillas sprinkled with just a little salt. Simple, perfect, and absolutely heavenly. Final stop: the home of Jeronimo and his mother, Josefina. For three hours, we cooked, laughed, and learned together, it felt like spending the afternoon at a family member’s house. We made so much: refreshing Jamaica to drink, a “Mexican hummus” made from roasted pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, and habanero powder (I loved it so much I bought the ingredients to take home!), both red and green salsas, refried beans I’ll never make any other way again, and authentic chile rellenos, one vegetarian with patty pan squash and Oaxaca cheese, and another with ground beef. We also whipped up fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, handmade tortillas, and dragonfruit lemonade. My favorite? Squash topped with shredded cheese, a Dutch influence from a centuries-old shipwreck! We ended with snapper Veracruz made with fish Jeronimo caught that very morning. This was an incredible, heartfelt day full of stories, flavor, and connection. Jeronimo is a true gem, passionate, warm, and welcoming. If you want to experience Cozumel in the most authentic, personal way possible, this is it.

Got to experience a class with Jeronimo and Angie. It was wonderful. My brother and sisters all agreed it was our favorite excursion of our entire sibling cruise and we would love to do it again our next visit. We loved the versatility of being able to pick what we wanted to learn to cook. We loved starting at the local mercado to pick the fresh ingredients and all the knowledge that Jeronimo shared about the produce, the meats and fish, and the fresh spices. By far the best margaritas we've all ever had in our lives!! So grateful for the e-cookbook that's included. My brother got home last night and is making the food we learned to cook tonight for his family, including the agua fresca. Thank you for sharing your family's love of food with ours. We hope to be back soon!! Where do we get that hibiscus tea????

A great way to learn a ton about Mexican cooking. Jeronimo and team treated us to an excellent market visit, showed us the local tortilla factores and helped us cook Mole (our choice). We cooked many dishes and left super full of fresh flavors. Super clean and well done. A fantastic experience, well worth it.
