Master the secrets of the comal and traditional Al Pastor marinade with the Caribbean Sea as your backdrop. Afterward, skip the crowds and use our secure lockers and 150Mbps Wi-Fi to enjoy a stress-free day of swimming and shopping on the Mahahual boardwalk. It’s the perfect blend of cultural immersion and a relaxing beach break.

What to expect

Escape the cruise crowds for an authentic culinary journey in the heart of Mahahual! At Jaguar Cafe, we combine traditional Mexican cooking with the beauty of the Caribbean. Located on the downtown boardwalk—just a 5-minute taxi from the Costa Maya port—our hands-on class offers a front-row seat to turquoise waters and a cool ocean breeze.

This is a full sensory experience. You won’t just watch; you’ll master the rhythmic press of handmade tortillas and the sizzle of marinated pork al pastor on a traditional comal. Under the guidance of local experts, you’ll learn the secrets of the Mexican kitchen while sipping a craft margarita, tropical daiquiri, or refreshing mocktail.
