Salma Hayek wants you as her 'dinner date' at favorite restaurant

The Mexican actress is obsessed with the acclaimed Pujol restaurant.

October 03, 2019 6:00 PM EDT By Robert Peterpaul

Salma Hayek is loco for Latin food. Some of her favorites are the Mexican dishes served up by superstar chef Enrique Olvera at his award-winning restaurant Pujol. Nestled in the heart of Mexico City, the eatery is sadly a bit too far for the 53-year-old actress to pop in as often as she'd like. Salma shared her constant craving for the ever-evolving menu alongside a collection of foodie photos on Thursday, October 3. "Missing the Mexican food! Especially the kind served at @PujolRestaurant from chef extraordinarie @EnriqueOlveraf," she wrote to fans. "Scroll through to see the exquisite Mexican food!" Getting her followers excited, she added: "If I could take all of you with me, I would do it in a heartbeat." Honestly, we would like to take you up on that, Salma.

Helping hand

Unsurprisingly, Salma enjoyed VIP treatment from the kitchen staff, receiving a hands on experience at her beloved Mexican joint.

Burn baby burn!

There are no traditional burners invovled in the cooking process at Pujol. Everything is instead expertly seared on a wooden grill to spume the food in smookiness.

Arte de pescado

The menu octopi-es Salma's thoughts

Here's another fish dish she included. "The octopus is marinated with chintextle, a paste of chili peppers (mixe) with chapulines, widely used in Oaxaca's markets," according to the restaurant. "This is spread over the entire surface of the tentacle, covering it until it is completely red." The chef then grills it for a few minutes. The final product is plated beautifully with a carrot marinade and coriander sprouts.

Farm to table

The restaurant has its own herb garden in back, providing fresh ingredients for the authentic Mexican menu.

Fired up

Slowly grill-fired elotitos provide a staple Mexican vegetable course to the experience.
