DISCOVER THE BOLD FLAVOURS OF MEXICO AT THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD GEM

We now have places in Dubai serving authentic Mexican cuisine with bold flavours from across the different regions. Querida is among the most charming spots serving up homestyle Mexican fare. With its intimate, welcoming vibe, hand-drawn walls and traditional hacienda-style decor, it’s a place that feels quintessentially Mexican.

The owners source many of the ingredients directly from Mexico, and the menu features not only familiar favourites like tacos and fajitas, but also lesser-known regional classics-all made fresh.

Start with the seriously addictive tortilla chips platter, served with a vibrant selection of zesty guac and irresistible salsas that range from mild to fiery. Also, don’t miss the warm, comforting street food-style mushroom empanadas.

As for the tacos, you really can’t go wrong with the rich, flavourful birria and the tender, juicy chicken tinga.

Vegans won’t miss out either because the mushroom flautas are perfectly crispy with earthly flavours. The soft corn tortilla asada enchiladas are a definite highlight, but its the elote quesadilla-with melted cheese and smoky flavours-that steals the show.

For dessert the warm churros with chocolate are a crowd-pleasing classic , but for a special treat, the deliciously moist tres leches is a must-have.

Querida brings the heart of Mexico to Dubai and has quickly made its mark as a local treasure.
