This is an outstanding Spanish language school, taught by Maestro Melchor Cortez, and assisted by…read morehis lovely wife, Marta. They use the Warren Hardy method which is a very comprehensive and logical program with lots of repetition and homework so the information really has a chance to sink in. Melchor and Marta make learning Spanish fun and are very patient and kind. The classroom atmosphere is casual and non threatening and I can honestly say I always looked forward to going to class. On a personal level, I just completed three consecutive levels (2, 3 and 4) and cannot believe how much my Spanish improved. I have been doing Duo Lingo for 8 years and previously completed Rosetta Stone but it wasn't until I enrolled in this program that I really began to understand the language and its structure. I cannot say enough good things about this school and highly recommend it if you are serious about learning Spanish.

You will need to take this seriously but that's perfect if you really want to learn Spanish. Note: they moved in 2019 to a new location. They are now on Calle Brasil (not Viena). The new location is closer to Centro.

Communication with Lorna (Rosie's daughter) was easy, and booking simple. The meeting location was conveniently located across from the cruise ship port. Rosie was easy to spot, and welcomed us warmly. The market tour portion of the day was a highlight, as we saw a tortilla machine and tasted a delicious tamale. The van to get us to both the market and to Rosie's (and back) was safe and well maintained. Upon entering Rosie's home, we were immediately awed by the beauty. She lives in such a gorgeous inviting home, that is perfectly set up to accommodate her tour. Participation was easy, directions clear, food delicious. Everyone in our party, from the 13-year-old to the 70+ year old grandparents enjoyed the experience. We would absolutely go back the next time we are in Puerto Vallarta.

My Mexican Kitchen in Bucerias…read more Most people love to eat, socialize, and learn something new. Well, Chef Travis and Chef Edgar have all 3 of those covered in style and variety. Not only do you come into their home (I think it is their home), but you get to meet new people, party and eat with them, and you don't even have to clean up because Patricia takes care of that! This was our third class with the chefs. Each time we meet new people and learn new recipes or add to our Mexican knowledge. The chefs work as a tag team as well as side by side sharing and presenting. They have a big variety of class choices, so depending on what strikes your fancy, they probably have a class that you'd be interested in taking. The second class we took (years ago) was about peppers and salsas. It really wasn't my choice, but I loved the guys from our first class and thought, "Sure, why not." OMG! This class was so informational and once again, I was reminded that the restaurants that I go to, go to a lot of work to make my meal. Once again, the food was delicious. After entering their home, you wash your hands and find a place to sit. The table is high and set for 7. There are some food items on the table. Water is offered. When everyone is settled and you've met the other participants, instruction begins. The only negative to this cooking class is that you really don't share in the cooking very much. I've been in classes where you prepare the entire meal, or your part is to make a certain dish, or sous chef the entire time. This class is about learning and sharing and oh yes, eating and eating and in case you're not full, more eating as each recipe is made. Some people call this grazing. As much as I love a cooking class where I am an active participant (you do get to assist with some sous chef moments like chopping or slicing) in the preparation of a dish/meal, I really can't complain. I love their classes, them, and my evening of fun. Chef Edgar and Chef Travis offer other options from tours to catering. Kudos to them and my gratitude for another wonderful experience and evening in their home!
