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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Gabriela Ruiz Lugo

From the OpenTable editors: Carmela y Sal is a charming gastronomic space that marries style with warmth in every corner. Under the direction of Chef Gabriela Ruiz, the menu is a celebration of her Tabascan roots, designed as a culinary concert. 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.

El servicio excelente, te explican cosas de los platillos y te advierten sobre dulzores o intensidad de picante. Los meseros super atentos, la comida muy muy rica, bastante sustancial y con una propuesta mexicana pero muy innovadora. Tiene un entorno muy acogedor y romántico. Frente a la barra hace bastante calor, lo recomiendo solo si esta fresco afuera. En general no tengo ninguna objeción al respecto, todo muy bien

Visitamos por primera vez el lugar y afortunadamente nos llevamos una muy buena impresión, tanto del servicio como de la cocina. La atención de Elpidio fue excelente, nos dió recomendaciones en cuanto a nuestros gustos y nos explicó cada plato a detalle. Definitivamente volveremos.

Quiero enviar una felicitación, especialmente para Froylán Mora, quien siempre nos brinda una excelente atención y en un plus; también a Antonio él es el mesero que nos atendió y nos ha atendido en otras dos ocasiones, en general todo el Staff siempre se preocupa mucho porque estemos bien atendidos. Muchísimas gracias por todo, siempre es un placer volver después de recibir esta calidad de servicio, espectacular y alimentos extremadamente deliciosos.
