About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Fancy
Carmela is not from here, but she is not from there either. Its cuisine is inspired by our lands, but its ingredients can be born anywhere. And besides, Carmela puts something totally unique in the pot. The salt of your life. In quantities that only her heart knows. Carmela cooks like at home. Surrounded by love, colors, textures and memories. What are you coming to eat? Feelings, but on the plate.

Start with the tostadas de mentiras, followed by the fish ceviche, and the grilled pork. Don't miss the grand finale with plantains and dulce de leche. Pair your meal with a selection of wines or artisanal cocktails, and enjoy a standout gastronomic experience on the World's 50 Best list.

    Gran experiencia acompañada desde el segundo uno por Iván, quien en todo momento estuvo pendiente del servicio. Nos ayudó a elegir 2 botellas de vino perfectas para lo que ordenamos de platillos.

    Definitivamente en Carmela y Sal crearon fama y se echaron a dormir. Es imperdonable que en jueves, no haya pesca pues el proveedor falló. 10 platillos fuera de su menú que ya aburre a un comensal que ha ido mínimo 10 veces. No han cambiado ningún platillo desde su apertura. Pedí una copa de vino San Giovesse, ($367 pesos), estaba echada a perder, la regresé y al mesero no le gustó, nunca ofreció una disculpa. Una entrada de atún y pork belly incomible por su picor impresionante. Una pechuga de pollo sin sabor, muy equis, un filete de res seco sobre una abundante cama de “chilaquiles”. 25 minutos entre la entrada y el plato fuerte. Una verdadera lástima de experiencia, tan bueno que era. Un restaurante así ya no vale la pena en la CDMX donde hay cientos que se esmeran por darte el mejor servicio.
