Chef Alejandra Kauachi is proudly Mexican, a passionate cook, and dedicated to sharing the traditions and flavors of her ancestors.


Ale (as her friends call her) grew up in a family of Mexican and Lebanese cooks, growing up between spices and amazing aromas. When she had to choose a profession, culinary arts appeared as a natural choice.​A professional chef, natural host, bon vivant and totally bohemian, she decided to share family stories, songs and recipes at the cooking school.


Meet one of our most talented Chefs, born and raised in Mexico City. Claudia’s expertise is not only limited to teaching about food but she is an insider of the best food corners and she will be more than happy to share with you the best eateries in Yucatan while you are in a culinary trio with us.

Chef Rosalía Chay has been passed down traditional Mayan customs and techniques from generations past. Chef Rosalía has been featured in Chef’s Table: BBQ on Netflix for her authentic and inspiring Maya cuisine.

Cooking the very best of Mayan food in her hometown Yaxunah in Yucatan, she invites us on an extraordinary journey immersed in her village, where she will show us her techniques and invite us to indulge our palates with exquisite Cochinita and Relleno Negro as we sit at the table amongst her family.

This has got to be one of the best experiences of my life!! Our host Alejandra was incredible and so full of knowledge and skill!! The recipes and tips (including the knife skills) will last a lifetime and I will pass along to my family. Then there is the food!!! What an absolute feast and delicious meal!! We will be back for sure!!

We stepped away from the resort life and jumped right into the local authentic kitchen. Chef Alejandra was a pleasure to learn from and answered our questions to make us understand how the flavors mesh, compliment and balance properly. Having lunch at the end of the course that we prepared with her guidance was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Will return next time we are here.

We were here for a bachelorette party and had a really good time cooking together. It was wonderful to learn about the country, the heritage, and the ease of cooking really good food. Highly recommend enjoying the jungle with some new friends and refining cooking techniques.

We had the pleasure of experiencing the BBQ Cochinita Pibil Experience in Yaxuna, Yucatan. The experience was unique. The presentation was well-organized, fun and informative. The food was excellent. I would highly recommend this for adventurous travelers and/or serious foodies. This experience exceeded my expectations and I am very glad we did it--now you should too.

We enjoyed the Friday menu on our recent vacation. It was a great food and cultural experience. The small groups, great teaching, and recipes we can't wait to try and recreate made it worth it. The food was fun and delicious. The setting is beautiful and fun. If we have chance we will definitely return in the future to try some more menu items.

Thank you! We journeyed to the class, we experienced and listened, we participated, then we feasted. We took notes and asked questions. Our leaders explained in great detail in which we learned so much. Thank you, as professionals this was a terrific experience.

An organic process between Chef Alejandra and each ingredient. We discussed the cultural significance of the food as well as it’s importance to the community. We laughed told stories as well as solved the worlds problems all while slicing and dicing. Again, a must do experience!

The food is so good! To get to experience the knowledge of traditional cooking Rosalia holds is a priceless experience, she makes you feel at home, the food is to die for and a well rounded experience all together. It is a bit far from Tulum but if you go to Chichen-Itza its already close to you and if Chichen-Itza is closed it is still worth it! There is also a Cenote a few blocks from Rosalia's house you can visit in the morning.

4worldlovers: If it’s true that the first bite is with the eyes, Le Chique at Azul Beach Resort Riviera Cancun is a feast in every sense. A Latin American’s Best Top 50 Restaurant, is a must stop for foodies traveling to the Riviera Maya. From the moment you arrive, the seductive décor offers a visceral taste of what’s to come – an experiential, multi-sensory dining adventure that will challenge any notions of how fine cuisine should look, feel and taste. To call Le Chique part restaurant, part house of mirrors isn’t far fetched. This is modernist cuisine, where nothing is as it seems.

Foods are deconstructed then reconstructed to resemble something else. Spheres are cocktails. Entrées masquerade as dessert. In fact, everything on Le Chique’s seasonal tasting menu was designed to puzzle, amuse and amaze you. Cuisine this inventive deserves to be put on a pedestal, which is precisely how it’s served – atop a pedestal, within a hollowed-out book, resting on a sling. All this by impresario waiters who seem to enjoy the spectacle as much as you do. Behind this pageantry is Chef Jonatán Gómez Luna and his talented culinary team, who’ve mastered the art and science of cooking to achieve astounding new flavors, textures and shapes. Add a focus on regional ingredients, sustainable growing practices and available wine pairings, and you have a dining experience that’s both a visual feast and culinary triumph.

Chef Jonatán Gómez Luna is an award-winning chef who has forged his culinary talents at globally acclaimed restaurants. As Executive Chef of Le Chique, Chef Jonatán blends cutting-edge modernist techniques with sheer showmanship to transform food into unforgettable sensory experiences for his clientele. “We go to great lengths to create a memorable experience for our guests through bold, fun, cutting-edge cuisine using the most innovative cooking techniques and fresh and authentic Mexican ingredients.”

Fun taco night Guide Diego was very knowledgeable and friendly, it was super fun trip! Weather was quite extreme though, but driver George(? Not sure about his name) was really good at driving on the flooded road. Recommend to future tourists that don't drink too much drinks. You gonna get super full at the end of this trip!

Amazing food-Amazing tour guide. The food was out of this world delicious. Our tour guide Diego and drive Angel we’re the best! Diego told us all about the history of the food and gave us his recommendations. Easily, the best night we had on our vacation.

Off the beaten path taco and beer tour This tour was one of the highlights of our Cancun trip. It was my adult son and I and we had a blast. It was great to get out of the tourist area and experience downtown Cancun. Our tour guide Gib was extremely knowledgeable not just about the tacos but also the city. His indepth knowledge made the tlur that much more enjoyable.

Food tour review G and Jorge were amazing! They were caring, gave us safety precautions, took immense care for dietary preferences.
