LA CONDESA’S CHEF

Indra Carrillo

Indra’s path reflects an aspiration to innovate through a deep understanding of classical methods and flavors from around the world.

His search has steeped him (deep in France) in the French culinary tradition and taken him across geographic and cultural boundaries to discover culinary experiences that delight.

At each step of the way, Indra has both learned the techniques and experienced each cuisine in its own cultural context with experts who represent the highest expression of each culinary tradition.

At La Condesa, he seeks to offer a synthesis of his journey to date. He hopes you will be delighted (by the workmanship/technique) and surprised (by the combination of flavors and textures).
