Our story
Chef Carmen "Titita" Ramírez Degollado, founder of "El Bajío" and Mexican food ambassador, discovered her love for traditional Mexican cuisine while running a family restaurant, "El Bajío," which she opened in 1972 with her husband and children. Today, she is an internationally renowned chef and culinary culture promoter, dedicated to preserving authentic Mexican flavors through various activities like writing, festivals, cooking demonstrations, and culinary exploration across Mexico.
About UsTo honor the legacy of Titita, her grandsons Sebastian and Santiago Ramirez Degollado have opened Casa Carmen. This restaurant pays homage to their grandmother's passion for traditional Mexican cuisine. Sebastian, with culinary training from École Hôtelière de Lausanne, manages operations as the General Manager, while Santiago, with a finance background, oversees Casa Carmen's beverage program and administration. Their childhood memories of helping at El Bajío inspired this venture, preserving the authentic flavors Chef Carmen cherished.
