Ever since I have been seeing many posts of yummy Mexican food and recipes online, I have been looking for a place that serves authentic Mexican food. Being a Dubai kid, tasting a perfect taco and quesadillas has always been on my to-eat list for long. That is when I came across the fancy Coca Cola styled food counter at Dubai mall. But I have never got a chance to try them.
I had gone to visit a friend one afternoon at the Emmar Square. Since it was lunch time, my friend and I decided to try something new and different from the usual junk. That is when one of my friend mentioned about the Mexican outlet in the same location. Not quite sure about the name of the outlet, we decided to try our luck. But as soon as I saw the name Taqado, there was no further thinking over it, I just really wanted to try it. The outlet was located in the calmer section of The Emmar Square. The outlet offered both indoor and outdoor seating. However the indoor seating was limited. The lighting of the outlet was unique with light rays emitted through an array of clear bottles hanging down from the ceiling resembling a chandelier. As the outlet was located right in the center of a busy business hub, the outlet seating was occupied. In addition the phones were non stop from which I could understand that they had a massive number of take away orders as well. We ordered a crispy Dos Taco, a medium burrito and a natural flavored soda for the drink. The order was ready in a jiffy as we mentioned what was to be added in each. The taco was served as a set of three, with an option of marinated and grilled chicken, beef, fresh vegetables and dressings. I chose to have Chicken tacos priced AED 34 with two different marinations, veggie, sour cream and spicy salsa for the dressing. For the burrito, 10" priced at AED 32, my friend chose tomato rice with grilled chicken, veggies and sour cream. For the drinks and beverages, there were many options to choose from. We chose a bottle of Mandarin (Mango) flavored soda priced at AED 12. I am not quite sure of how long the chain has been in the markets but for sure I have missed out on some happening Mexican dishes. It’s a shout out to all the Mexican food lovers to give it a shot. |
