Loca is a firm favourite for many reasons – its festive atmosphere, its airy feeling, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, its guac made right to your table, and its quality drinks.

But its real stand-out is the brunch.

It’s a party brunch, but not your typical girls in high-heels, dancing on tables styles. It’s chill to start, and rises with the crowd.

And it’s a whole FIVE HOURS for just AED285 including house beverages (hello! margaritas).

The food is superb quality

To start with, it’s the infamous Loca guacamole – made in front of you. It’s light, fresh, with a hint of spice and so delish.

Next up, it’s Mexi-style brekky dishes – best for sharing

AND make your own tacos, plus there are soft-cooked nachos with refried beans and sour cream. YASSSS.

All the while sipping on them sweet sweet margaritas

Ultimate summer drinks – you can choose from some delish flavours

• Regular
• Strawberry
• Kiwi fruit

Drool.

Then you get a choice of mains

Pick from: enchiladas, burritos, fajitas and the best – TOSTADAS.

They’re all good – you might be better off ordering one of each and sharing the lot.

AND a dessert platter to finish

Tres leches cake (three milk cake – the gooiest, sweetest cake you can imagine) with choc-orange ice cream is the DREAM.

And can laze about til late – the staff are happy to leave you be for a while, and since the brunch doesn’t finish til 5pm, you’re gold!

10/10 would brunch here again – definitely one for birthday celebrations
