Dr. SultanNovember 27, 2014Probably the best Mexican restaurant in Dubai. Starters: melted cheese duo, maya nachos, battered calamari. Mains: marinated lamb chops, chicken qasidellas. Desserts: la bomba de chocolata & churros.
One of the best Mexican food in Dubai. Go for melted cheese as starter. Beef fajita as main course the outside seating area are beautiful . If you like virgin strawberry mojito it's very nice
AzizNovember 14, 2017Awesome service! Waiter calls you by your name, waiter will give you options and suggestions, and will ask you about any allergies you have, if any. Right portions and live Mexican music
Artem KhabibullinMarch 18, 2019Tried our half-board set here. Solid! Good guacamole, great main course, nice dessert. I liked the interior of this place. Looks like one of the iconic restaurants on Le Royal Meridien territory.
Jeremy KuriloffJanuary 27, 2014As I now consider myself a regular, heed the following advice. At 58 AED the margarita is a comparative steal. The ensalada de pollo is fantastic, as are the fajitas. Pass on the brisket tacos.
Charmaine BarthelotAugust 1, 2013If you love your nachos & guacamole you have not tried the real thing until you've had it here. Best Mexican food in Dubai! Fantastic service & atmosphere! Hands down I give it 5 stars!- ArifMay 2, 2016Margarita was one of the best in Dubai so far. Guacamole needs to be mild spicy and you have to try it. Shrimp taco and fillet mignon fajita was delicious!
Maddalena MagroNovember 12, 2013Mercado margarita as a cocktail, Tacos de Langosta as appetizer and Vegetarian Enchiladas as a main: and you'll have the best dinner ever! Dessert? Go for the churros :)
Nicholas HoxsieMarch 22, 2017This place always delivers! My wife and I are locals and we come here all the time for drinks, especially the lagerita. Make sure you you get Nithin as your bar tender.
NushipediaDecember 2, 2014Authentic Mexican food. Beautiful setting. Indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect for a date or an outing with friends. Great selection of cocktails.- Definitely the best Mexican restaurant in Dubai! Excellent food, friendly stuff, cool interior and nice crowd. It's difficult to impress me,but I was impressed LOL
Taisiia I.March 3, 2013Amazing place, great ambience, fantastic food! Guacamole with spicy crab, shrimps ceviche, lamb barbacoa, very tasty sangria and so much more... Highly recommend!
Khaled ☤November 14, 2014Their food is 10/10! You also get access to the Meridien pools and beach! This place is definitely recommended!- Joachim StrAugust 11, 2014Great Mexican food, friendly staff and great outdoor seating! The bar has a great selection of cocktails, tequila and mezcal.
The short rib enchiladas cannot be beat. Rubin is amazing chef with a personality to go with it. Everything is authentic. Don't miss it.
Anna KöhlerJanuary 9, 2015Awesome authentic mexican restaurant, excellent food,friendly and professional stuff and great selection of international wines.
Jacqueline CousinsMay 5, 2014Great, knowledgeable friendly bar staff here. Don't know why I don't come to enjoy the tunes & sea breeze more often
Dana Al-YaqoobApril 20, 2012Best mexican I've tried in dubai, nachos were good even the enchilada definitely will come bk to try more :)
- RaniaNovember 17, 2014Ask for the Seniorita card. It's free & you get 20% on food. Worth it if you're a regular
Daniel MaloMarch 18, 2013Best REAL Mexican Food!! Not lousy Texmex!! Ask for the Maya Margarita and some Tequila!!
Helen HolmesMay 30, 2015Delicious margaritas (traditional or others) but the service was really very poor. Lots of staff but completely ignored tables. Sat with empty plates in front of us for ages
MMApril 24, 2011Amazing Mexican food. Try beef enchiladas and make sure to leave room for banana crepe. It's to die for!!
ChantelZDecember 6, 2013Make sure you ask for a smoking table even if you are outside? They have non smoking area even in the open air which is very strange for Dubai...
AngljuApril 22, 2015Food is nothing special but the ambience is worth to go there. The toilet really stands out
- Everything is fresh and fantastic. You CAN'T go wrong.
Dress code.. It's 106 out and you need to wear pants.. C'mon Dubai
