I really liked the place and the food. Very attentive service. I forgot my bag and when I came back it was kept in a sealed bag. Very tasty food and I tried different dishes. At the end there was a pleasant surprise with some tasty sweets.

A fantastic experience! Our waiter spoke very little English so ordering was exciting. The portions are generous, the food fresh and creative. The drinks, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic were delicious. Bravo!

This was our 1st visit to Raiz. The wine manager matched our 6-course lunch with 2 lovely wines that also fit this warm and sunny day. The food was sublime. Our table on the porch was quiet with just a hit of the activity in the restaurant. Very conducive atmosphere to a lunch & conversation with old friends. Gracias!

About the restaurant

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.

Beautiful space, spectacular views, excellent food and cocktails, and the service was polished and gracious. Dinner options are relatively few but they were excellent. We also had breakfast here several days and each time it was terrific. The experience was so good that we had dinner here a second night in addition to enjoying cocktails and dessert late at night looking over the lights of Mexico City every night as our "nightcap."
