Description
Chef Gabriela Ruiz Lugo's love letter to Tabasco - shimmering southern-Polanco dining room, World's 50 Best listed. Carmela y Sal is chef Gabriela Ruiz Lugo's flagship in Torre Virreyes (southern Polanco / Lomas-Virreyes), showcasing the flavors of her native Tabasco state. The dining room is glamorous - high ceilings, dark floors, olive-and-copper accents - but the menu leans warm and approachable, described as 'superb home cooking' rather than high-end fine dining. Dishes are designed like a concert: prelude, interlude, climax, outro. Expect generous portions of short rib with chirmol, fish ceviche, corn risotto, 'tostadas de mentiras' (vegan 'liar' tostadas), and desserts like caramelized bananas with whipped cream or mango tapioca with rooibos and bourbon. Michelin Recommended and on the World's 50 Best list extended list. A strong pick for an expense-account dinner or a celebration. Carmela y Sal is listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide, recognized for chef Gabriela Ruiz Lugo's Tabasco-rooted cooking as distinct from the Oaxacan- and Yucatecan-focused regional restaurants that dominate CDMX's other Michelin picks.
