This will be the best time spent in Cabo. Donna will welcome you into her colorful kitchen and warm your tummy. Mexican food is not just a taco or burrito.. it's more then that. Donna will open your eyes to Mexican food. This is a must do in Cabo. More

It was a wonderful experience. Donna was very easy to communicate with ahead of time via email; she also has a great blog filled with info to... More

Donna provided us with the opportunity to learn about cooking different kinds of peppers--recipes were easy to follow, the hands-on approach was fun and the resulting food was delicious. I would highly recommend this class!! More

Having done all the routine Cabo tourist events in town, we read reviews for Casa De Colores and Barbara's cooking classes. We opted for a late-morning class and emailed Barbara our list of desired menu choices. After stopping at a local panaderia for fresh tortillas, we continued to the CDC. Barbara's place is amazing and offered a great choice for... More

Donna has been here long enough to give the history of the area, the people and the food. You will gain a whole new appreciation for rellenos, the sauces, etc. It was the best part of our trip! Well worth the price! More

In Cabo San Lucas there many detours and sidepoints that deserve mentioning. Everyone comes for the beaches, the seafood, the fine beverages and nightlife, but rethink your vacation time. Add a cooking class with Donna Jones at Casa de Colores and you will receive an education in Mexican cooking than should entertain. She is vibrant, intelligent and a delightful instructor.... More

This is a must do for anyone interested in cooking of any sort. Donna does a great job in making everyone feel comfortable. Making sure you understand each step. We felt it was well worth the cost of this class and will be doing this again. More
