Los Dos is an in-person cooking school and culinary experience provider based in Mérida, the capital of Mexico’s Yucatán state, with a focus on cuisine from the Yucatán Peninsula. The website describes it as Mexico’s first experiential program dedicated specifically to Yucatecan cooking. Classes are held in a restored colonial-style mansion in the historic center and typically combine coffee and snacks, a market visit, hands-on cooking, and a shared meal.
Its course offerings are fairly extensive, including the year-round or on-demand Taste of Yucatán full-day class, the Cocina Económica half-day experience, private customized classes, as well as tasting-focused experiences such as Cantina Crawl, chocolate experiences, and street food tours. For those seeking a deeper experience, there are also all-inclusive cooking workshops lasting three days, one week, or centered on chocolate. The focus is not merely on recreating recipes, but also on local markets, family-run food stalls, cocina económica, and the cultural background of Maya foodways.
Los Dos has strong professional credentials. Founder David Sterling established the school in 2003 and authored YUCATÁN: Recipes from a Culinary Expedition and MERCADOS, with YUCATÁN winning a James Beard Award. Current chef Mario Canul previously served for many years as his sous-chef and collaborated with him on researching Mexican markets and Yucatecan ingredients. He also holds a degree in international tourism and a master’s degree in human resources.
The collected text does not provide specific details on pricing, payment methods, or cancellation/change policies. It only confirms that there is a “RATES” page, and that all-inclusive packages can be customized according to accommodation, transportation, and class requirements. The text also does not mention completion certificates or professional certification, so this is better suited as a travel experience and cultural learning activity rather than vocational qualification training.
The advantages are its focused theme, strong regional character, and the backing of authoritative cookbooks and media coverage. The classes emphasize authentic settings, offering access to markets, family food stalls, and local traditions. The drawbacks are that participants must visit Mérida in person, which creates relatively high time and location requirements. Key information such as pricing, teaching language, and class size is not clearly stated in the text, so further confirmation is needed before booking.
It is suitable for food lovers traveling to the Yucatán, people who want a deeper understanding of regional Mexican cuisine, private groups, and travelers interested in festive dishes. For users in China, website accessibility cannot be determined from the text and is marked as unknown. If you plan to sign up, it is recommended to contact the official website in advance to confirm the language, pricing, dates, and transportation arrangements.
