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.

    Food was great. Flavors you can’t just try elsewhere. The service was amazing as well. We are vegetarian and the server broke down the menu for us.

    Food and service was superb, what a pleasurable experience. The food is imaginative, creative and delicious and the staff were very friendly. Also, the interior buildout is handsomely appointed. We highly recommend Carmela y Sal!

    Second review for C & S and still 5 stars on everything. Again, this is an excellent value for fine dining. Much easier reservation than some of the top restaurants in Polanco.
