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.

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.

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.

    Muy bonito lugar, estacionamiento fácil, carta sencilla pero muy rico en general todo. Platillos regionales con un toque de distinción. Recomendación adecuada para una tarde de fin de semana relajado

    Un lugar que cambia la forma de ver la comida siempre para bien. Es un disfrute estar en un lugar con ese sazón y ese ambiente. Dificil irse de ahi.

    La extraordinaria comida es lo único que rescata al lugar. Servicio mediocre revisando el celular, recepcionista forzada con cero carisma no te hace sentir bienvenido y a pesar que reserve semanas antes, me dieron la mesa junto al baño. La champaña por copeo sin burbujas.

    Carmela y Sal es un restaurante cien por ciento recomendable, moderno y donde el personal se caracteriza por su amabilidad. Su cocina es simplemente increíble, donde puedes percibir esa explosión de sabores. Degustamos: Mole rosa,Tostadas de Pulpo, Short Rib con Chirmol,acompañado con un vino tinto mexicano Barón Balche Reserva Especial 2019. En verdad no entiendo por qué no obtuvo la estrella Michelin 2024, estoy seguro que pronto lo logrará …. Felicidades a la Chef y su equipo.
