Storyline
El Molcajete, a traditional Mexican food restaurant, downtown Mexico City, is owned by
Maria’s grandmother, Tere, but run by chef Rosi. After her daughter’s death, Tere lost her
passion for cooking and stopped working at El Molcajete. Therefore, Maria does everything
to make her go back to the restaurant. Meanwhile, chef Rosi has introduced new dishes
to the menu, trying to make it a light trendy cuisine. But neither Maria nor Tere will accept
that the traditional �lavours, ingredients and cooking secrets fall into oblivion.
