Lumbre & Centli
Two restaurants. Two perspectives on Mexican cuisine.
Brothers Rodrigo, Patricio and Daniel Rivera Río present two distinct expressions of Mexico, each exploring the depth and diversity of its culinary heritage. Lumbre draws inspiration from the flavors, ingredients and techniques of northern Mexico, while Centli turns its gaze south, placing corn—one of the foundations of Mexican cuisine—at the heart of the experience. On different days of the week, the same table becomes the setting for two distinct ways to discover the richness of Mexican cuisine.
Lumbre – Cuisine of Northern Mexico
Fire, embers and smoke define a culinary journey through the ingredients and flavors of northern Mexico. From the Huasteca region to Sonora, Lumbre brings together influences from across the north, while drawing from the abundance of its coastlines. The result is a contemporary expression of northern Mexican cuisine, with fire as the common thread running through every dish.

Centli - Cuisine of Southern Mexico
Corn is at the heart of an experience inspired by the milpa and the culinary richness of southern Mexico. Centli draws inspiration from Chiapas, Tabasco, Veracruz and Hidalgo—regions where the land, the coasts and the rhythms of nature have shaped countless expressions of Mexican cuisine. Their ingredients and traditions come together at the table, celebrating corn as both a cornerstone of Mexican cuisine and a connection between the land and its culinary heritage.
