What a great treat. As a Texan who eats a lot of Mexican food, this was pretty solid and hit the spot from a flavor perspective. The food could use a little more salt but that's a personal choice.

The only challenge we had was the place smelling like cigarettes as others mentioned in their review. It's been a very long time since I had to smell that while eating and I didn't miss it.

Great spot on the Marina and good value for money. Margaritas are the real deal. You cannot take alcoholic drinks outside (at least when we were there) but other than that, I highly recommend this place.

Although the wait for food was a little long, these amazing baja shrimp tacos well made up for it. By far, a great hidden gem in Dubai. Staff were friendly, and a lovely atmosphere is also a plus. Will come back!

I’d almost give them a perfect score if only they weren’t a SMOKING venue.

The food and drink offerings are amazing and the price point is very decent considering it’s in the Marina within Marina Gate.

They’ve got a DJ during weekends, the staff are Mexican which helps with the authenticity of the restaurant.

If you’re a smoker, you’d love it. But if you aren’t, then you’d have to stay on the terrace but you aren’t able to order your alcohol and enjoy it there.

Variety of Mexican food and drinks.
Food tasty, however not possible to ask for less spices. Result: enchiladas cover by too much red and green spicy sauce.
Food for 7 was served not in the same time. I finished my not so warm dish, when my colleagues were still waiting for their order.

The staff chew gum all the time when talking with guests, which is rude. Not mentioning using phones in the front of the bar.

Good food!
We had dinner here with 4 people. We decided to order 4 plates and share them so we could taste as much as possible at this new restaurant.
All 4 plates were good. My personal favorite is the bavette. Others really like the shrimp.
Restaurant is really good priced.
They told us they are still experimenting with the menu, so it can be different if you are there.
Important.. The restaurant is on the first floor so you need to take the stairs up and there it is! Really Important :)

Would give 10 starts if possible. The food is just amazing, the servers were beyond friendly (specially Suzan, our waitress) and the place is so nice, it was Halloween season so all the Halloween decorations were there. Absolutely love it!

Actually no stars but it is not possible to submit without any stars.
Having been to other branches we were excited to try this one. Unfortunately despite there being outdoor seating people were smoking indoors which is pretty horrible when you are eating. There wasn't a smoking section. The burrito was pretty bland and was just rice, I couldn't find any beans. As I am vegan I asked if it was possible to change the sour cream and cheese for a little guacamole but was told absolutley not. When the extra portion of guagamole we ordered came we presumed it was part of the burrito order as it was literally a table spoon. For aed 25!!!!! When we questioned this we were told the avacados are expensive. For the same cost in another branch you would get 5 times that amount so are those avacados cheaper??? On a similar note the tacos that were supposed to be a main were barely the size of a starter so very disappointing.
Any time we questioned anything with the waitress we were told this restaurant is more expensive, not great customer service. When we had to send the bill back as we had been charged extra for something we didn't have the waitress looked me in the eye and asked me if I was sure!!! Again terrible customer service.
To top it all off the margaritas did not come in a margarita glass!
Not a great experience when you leave a Saturday night out feeling hungry and annoyed.
Sadly not a new place to enjoy, we won't be going back.
