Mexican restaurant in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Querida – Mexican & Friends Restaurant (often referred to as Querida) is a dining establishment located in Al Barsha, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It specializes in Mexican cuisine, offering shared-style plates, themed nights, and weekend brunch experiences.
History and concept
Querida was founded on 5 October 2024 with the concept of bringing authentic Mexican street food flavours to Dubai in a casual, social dining setting. The restaurant name, Querida, meaning “beloved” in Spanish, represents its focus on warmth, community, and shared dining experiences.
The restaurant was designed and decorated entirely by its founders, who created a distinctive interior with personalised cork tables and handcrafted details. Querida’s design reflects a home-style aesthetic, combining rustic Mexican elements with contemporary décor.
The restaurant’s culinary direction is led by a chef originally from Monclova, Coahuila, who later moved to Aguascalientes, Mexico. His background influences the regional authenticity of Querida’s dishes, incorporating flavours and techniques from northern and central Mexican traditions.
