If you think you’ve tried every kind of taco Dubai has to offer, think again. Tacosita, a brand-new Mexican street food haven in Barsha Heights, is here to challenge your palate and redefine your expectations. This isn’t just another taco spot, it’s a bold, flavorful fiesta founded by none other than Chef Salam El Baba, a corporate-turned-culinary genius.
Dubai’s New Taco Joint, Tacosita Is A Game Changer
Tacosita is all about keeping it real. Inspired by Chef Salam’s deep dive into Mexico’s culinary culture, every dish here feels like it was crafted on the bustling streets of Mexico City. From the slow-cooked, juicy birria tacos to the creamy, indulgent tacos gobernador (shrimp tacos), each bite is a celebration of authentic flavours. It’s like a mini Mexican vacation, minus the airfare.
More Than Just A Taco Spot With Affordable Menu
Tacosita is not about pretentious vibes or over-the-top décor. This cosy little joint keeps things laid-back and fun. Whether you’re jamming at a taco-hip-hop party, grabbing a bite in the outdoor seating area, or swinging by the drive-through, the atmosphere screams “Come as you are.”
Great news for foodies on a budget, Tacosita serves up its culinary magic for just AED 39 to AED 46. It’s proof that you don’t need deep pockets to enjoy top-notch Mexican cuisine.
This isn’t Chef Salam’s first rodeo. Before launching Tacosita, she founded Dukkan El Baba, a quaint Lebanese eatery that won hearts in early 2023 with its home-cooked meals and cosy vibes. Now, with Tacosita, she’s bringing her passion for food to a whole new level, and diners are already hooked.
