  • Hannah O'Donnell

    My boyfriend and I had the best time! Mahi Mahi tacos, street corn, and ceviche galore!
  • Chrissy Gonzalez

    Our Kindergarten students visited The Real Food Academy for the first time and had an incredible experience. Not only was it very hands-on and very age appropriate, but the kids had the opportunity to make their culinary creation and dance while their meals were in the oven. Overall wonderful experience, we will definitely be visiting again.
  • Brad Hobbs

    Our son was apprehensive when we arrived. He was clinging to us balling his eyes scared to separate saying he was too shy. The staff took it upon themselves to make him feel comfortable and he finally calmed down just in time to participate. He had a blast. So much so he wouldn’t stop asking when we were going again and said, “don’t worry, I won’t cry.” We are back again today and he is full of smiles ready to have a great time.
  • Stephanie Roig

    This was one of the funniest and best experience I’ve had. They were super nice and taught you step by step. The food was amazing and delicious !!! The company and staff was amazing !! I would 100% recommend again !!! Loved every minute of this experience. Will be coming back again.
