Alumna Carmen Porras (93) and her team at the El Arrayan in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico have been awarded with the highly prestigious “José Inés Loredo” National Award from the Mexican National Chamber of Restaurant and Seasoned Foods Industry (CANIRAC).
Named after “Don José Inés Loredo”, this coveted prize represents Señor Loredo`s invaluable and intense promotion of Mexican cuisine. He was an example of professionalism and enthusiasm for the national cuisine as a beloved restaurateur and recognized author. Today, this prize is for restaurants that in their daily work, place Mexican gastronomy at the international level it deserves, extolling its concept and promoting its quality, while allowing each customer to be reminded of Mexico’s roots and its traditions with pride.
