About this class

Private markets, villa or chef's table

Cabo San Lucas private classes are run by Chef Issi and the Radilla family, who have been cooking with visitors here for nearly fifteen years. Because the class is yours alone, the format flexes: a private market tour and cooking session, a class cooked in your vacation rental, or an evening chef's table dinner in a professional kitchen.

Groups book private classes for birthdays, bachelorette weekends, family reunions and corporate retreats. Menus are agreed in advance and can follow whatever the group is curious about — birria and sopes, coastal seafood, tamales, or a tasting spread of salsas and antojitos. Vegetarian and gluten-free guests are planned for from the start.

Private bookings need at least 4 adults and 72 hours' notice for a refund.

Highlights

  • Three private formats to choose from
  • Chef Issi and the Radilla family cooking for your group alone
