The plan for the class when my husband and I took it this past Sunday was carne asada tacos with homemade tortillas and pico - explanations were thorough but still easy to follow. It made me change my mind about having fresh pico in the fridge because it was so tasty!

This was a fun experience! Chef Lucas is very knowledgeable. I think the event would've been better in a larger space since it felt pretty cramped and then there were issues with the outlets and power.

We cooked handmade tortillas and homemade salsa! We had lots of fun! The class was small which was nice. Lucas, our Chef was giving us great feedback on things we did well or needed help with.

This class has a lot of potential, unfortunately the setting wasn't conducive to teaching or learning with the number of students in the class (25). We learned how to mix Masa with water/oil, form it into balls, and only some of the class got to make tortillas before the electrical circuits were tripped and both of the hot plates stopped working (yes, 25 people, cooking 6 tortillas each, 1min. Per side and 2 hot plate / skillets to accomplish the whole exercise). We had hoped for knife skills training (as advertised) and some tips or techniques for protein processing and cooking, aside from being shown how to quarter a tomato, no knife skills were introduced. The recipe was only available via. QR code, the meat was prepared and marinated before hand, and cooked by his sous-chef while we learned to mix Masa. The pico felt like it was enough produce for 12 people to make Pico, that was stretched into 25, we were encouraged to try our pico with some supplied tortilla chips, but if you ate any of your pico, you would have had to eat a plain taco (tortilla and beef only). Ultimately we were fortunate enough to have made a few tortillas before the grid went down, and we saved enough pico to get a few "real tacos" out of it all, but we ran past the 2 hours to make that happen, it seemed like half the class just left abruptly at 2 hours, while others added the beef to their pico bowl and ate it like a salad bowl for lack of having cooked tortillas. Fewer people, staggered application of lessons (so there isn't a line of 25 people waiting for a cup of water), and training on more than JUST making tortillas would have helped make the class more of a learning experience and less of lesson in patience.
