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.

    Me habían recomendado mucho este restaurante y la verdad me decepcionó mucho, nos sentimos estafados , el mesero nos recomendó los tacos de lechuga , dijo que eran unos tacos vegetarianos muy buenos , literalmente es un plato de lechuga y te dan aderezo y tortilla aparte , si no mal recuerdo costaba casi 300 ps, nunca nos fijamos en los precios pero esto nos pareció una burla , las tortillas eran demasiado pequeñas y los trozos de lechuga más grandes que la tortilla, ( lo que más nos sorprendió fue que el mesero lo recomendara ) además de eso el servicio fue muy lento, los platos fuertes no nos sorprendieron además les faltó creatividad todos los platillos tenían la misma decoración que además me parece que no iba con el sabor del platillo. Había mucho ruido me sentí como en un VIPS, solo sentínos una mayor atención cuando pedimos las segunda botella de vino pero me pareció muy incómodo que apesar que de que no era tarde empezaron a recoger el restaurante ( nos hubieran dicho en la segunda botella que ya iban a cerrar y nos íbamos a otro lugar, ni siquiera nos terminamos la botella porque sentimos que nos estaban corriendo )

    Las dos entradas (ensalada de betabel y tostadas de jaiba) eran puro limón: extraordinariamente ácidos. Los platos fuertes muy buenos, un ceviche y un pescado con pipián. Esos dos platos salvaron la comida. El servicio muy atento y agradable. El lugar, pasable.

    Me encantó! La comida deliciosa, todo lo que pedimos estaba increíble, el lugar muy amplio. Amo la creatividad de la chef, las tostadas de pulpo fueron las ganadoras y los envueltos de plátano macho de otro nivel. Definitivamente regresaría a probar otras cosas.
