One day in November 2023, something like this...Your eyes wake up and the immense sea and the sky and the stars.In your hands there is a bivouac of butterflies flying and transforming.Your smile in a rainbow after the rain.Your eyelashes, fairies that shake their transparent wings.From your lips sprouts a liquid and warm moon version.Kissing your cheeks is eating a ripe fruit with a lot of craving in spring.And your feet... oh, your feet.When you least expect them, I'll put them on a tortilla.To my honey panther...Because I still can't explain how I could live without you.Carmela DeMorada is dedicated to Martina, my daughter, who has just been born and who,thanks to the fierce cravings of pregnancy, was that she emerged from this menu.Of chili, lime and tears of joy.Carmela DeMorada and Martina came early, arriving just when it was meant to be, neither before or after.With love...

    The overall dining experience was good, but to be honest, the quality of the food did not match what we had experienced before. It was good and there was nothing wrong with it, it just didn't reach previous levels of taste experience. The service was perfect and we could not have asked for better, and as always the setting and view is spectacular. We were seated right on the edge of the balcony, which I appreciated as this was a birthday celebration, and I only had to suggest that it might be a little cool and immediately the heaters were turned on. One drawback was the menu. There were multiple menus to choose from which is a little confusing to begin with, and when we finally chose to order from the Chef's Selections menu, my companions were very confused about how to order and the pricing. We had all been there before and do not remember the process being so complicated. Still, we had no regrets in dining there for our celebration, and it remains on our list of favorites in Mexico City.
