Family restaurant in Al Barsha 1, Dubai — Querida

Why Querida works for families

Mama Lalis raised three children in Monclova on these recipes. The whole point of Mexican homestyle cooking is the table — slow-braised lamb that feeds eight, hand-folded tamales the kids can pull apart, salsas the grown-ups dial up. Pasen, por favor.

Practically: the room is 26 seats with a dedicated 8-top family table, no alcohol on the menu, mild spice levels (1-2 chiles on most dishes, salsas served on the side for adults to dial up), high chairs available, step-free entry, and stroller room.
