5 Must-Try Signature Dishes at Querida Dubai: Your Ultimate Mexican Food Guide

5 Must-Try Signature Dishes at Querida Dubai

Dubai’s Mexican food scene has become crowded  but only a few restaurants stand out with authenticity, creativity, and consistent flavour. Querida is one of them. If you're exploring bold Mexican flavours, these are the five dishes you absolutely cannot skip.

1. Birria Tacos – Slow-Cooked Beef, Cheese & Consommé

These tacos are a clear favourite for a reason. At Querida, the birria is cooked low and slow until the beef is fall-apart tender. It’s folded with melted cheese inside perfectly crisped tortillas and served with a rich chilli consommé.

Why you should try it:
Because it’s flavour, texture, and comfort in one bite. You dip, you crunch, you repeat. It's easily one of Querida’s most-ordered dishes.

2. Tacazos (Querida Original) – Tacos Meet Nachos

This is Querida’s exclusive creation a fusion of tacos and nachos layered with toppings, cheese, salsa, and your choice of protein. Imagine the crunch of nachos but with the satisfaction of a loaded taco.

Why it’s special:
It’s unique to Querida. It’s shareable. It’s messy-delicious. And it’s the kind of dish that brings people back.

3. Plato Birria – A Loaded Birria Bowl

If you want something filling, comforting, and flavour-packed, the Plato Birria is your move. It takes everything you love about birria and transforms it into a hearty bowl.

Why it’s worth ordering:
It’s perfect for those who want the birria experience, but without the taco crunch. A balanced bowl with protein, cheese, grains, and toppings.

4. Traditional Tamales – Handmade In-House

Querida prepares tamales the traditional way: masa dough wrapped in a corn husk, filled, and steamed to perfection.

Why it stands out:
Dubai rarely sees authentic handmade tamales. This dish adds true Mexican depth to Querida’s menu.

5. Elote de Cosecha – Street-Style Mexican Corn

A classic Mexican street favourite roasted corn coated with crema, lime, cheese, and spices.

Why customers love it:
It’s fresh, tangy, creamy, and perfect as a side or snack. A guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Bonus: Churros With Café de Olla

Crispy, warm churros served with a spiced coffee dip. A standout dessert for anyone ending their meal on a sweet note.
