When Chalco’s Cantina first opened up in Dubai Marina back in 2022 – a few of us residents got super excited. A licensed mexican bar, close to home! I remember meeting up with a mum for happy hour very shortly after and we loved the spot. It was cosy, it did amazing margaritas and best […]

I remember our first visit to Senor Pico back when they opened up – early 2021. There were no sunbeds on the sand – and Marriott Resort had not yet been built. Senor Pico has gone a long way since – becoming many families’ favourite go-to spot at Palm West Beach. Have you been? Why […]

Headed towards Palm West Beach to meet a girlfriend for a late lunch review – this was Senor Pico, a licensed Mexican joint situated right by the fountains and the giant West Beach sign (no hashtag as well, for a nice change 😉 ). We took a seat outdoors – and at 3:30pm in the […]

After a lot of browsing around for a Saturday brunch that was family-friendly, the Los Chapitos brunch at El Chapo’s Tacos popped up in this recent Time Out article. “Kid-friendly vibe” it said, plus “activities to keep the little ones occupied.” Bit more googling landed in a review during their September launch which again went […]

So last night we drove over to The Beach to attend the launch of ‘Taco Tuesdays’ at Poco Loco. For AED 129 per person, you get to feast on as much tacos’ as you wish. Pretty good way to try out what they have to offer. Traffic on Jumeirah Beach Road was jammed (as usual? […]

I’ll start off by saying that I am no expert when it comes to Mexican food. This was just one of those unplanned Thursday nights where we flipped out the Entertainer and wanted to go to somewhere in the Souk Madinat Jumeirah area, having just spent a lovely babymoon at Dar Al Masyaf the weekend […]
