Quiet, relaxing and beautiful, Umm Suqeim encapsulates the convergence of suburban life and a beachside town in Dubai. With palm tree-lined streets and some of the city's most visited beaches a short car ride away, this neighborhood exudes a Sunday morning vibe. What started as a residential area composed mostly of large villas with private backyards, Umm Suqeim has since been filled with little boutiques, restaurants, and cafés with little pops of character that might take you by surprise.
The scent of cheese-filled tortillas and quesadillas will stop you in your tracks. All the food served here is authentic to what you’d find in Mexico, and you’ll hear it from Chef Ernesto himself, who will come around to tell you stories from his hometown. Famously known for it’s freshly-prepared guacamole made right at your table, this bright and colorful gem with beautiful hand-lettered signage has a little corner shop carrying a variety of Mexican products, with a charming outdoor terrace and a quirky vibe.
