One day in November 2023, something like this...Your eyes wake up and the immense sea and the sky and the stars.In your hands there is a bivouac of butterflies flying and transforming.Your smile in a rainbow after the rain.Your eyelashes, fairies that shake their transparent wings.From your lips sprouts a liquid and warm moon version.Kissing your cheeks is eating a ripe fruit with a lot of craving in spring.And your feet... oh, your feet.When you least expect them, I'll put them on a tortilla.To my honey panther...Because I still can't explain how I could live without you.Carmela DeMorada is dedicated to Martina, my daughter, who has just been born and who,thanks to the fierce cravings of pregnancy, was that she emerged from this menu.Of chili, lime and tears of joy.Carmela DeMorada and Martina came early, arriving just when it was meant to be, neither before or after.With love...

This is always a great place. My only ask would be a place to be able to take a picture of Zócalo without the plastic. A small area since the decorations are magnificent

My husband and I visited for our first anniversary. Checking off Michelin restaurants on our travels is a pastime of ours and Lorea was truly exceptional. So filling, incredible creativity, incredible implementation of local ingredients and the staff was so thoughtful and kind. We loved our experience!
