If you work or live in JLT you know that there are a lot of restaurants selling the same food, it becomes boring after a while. If you want to try something different and you love Mexican food you must go to El Mostacho. Their burritos is amazing, an explosion of taste........and the guacamole!!! Th...

This is where you go to get true Mexican burritos and tacos. The food tastes amazing. The ambience screams either lunch or late night alcohol-induced hunger (it's too bad they aren't open 24hrs). It's a small and cozy place so best not to come in groups of 8+. On the spacious side of JLT when it com...

I am am Texan born to a Mexican father. I know Mexican food. This is not fine dining at all. It is a taqueria and a very good one. 100% authentic and if you are lucky to show up when Isaac is there, you'll get some great banter. The most authentic flavor of Mexico in Dubai. Two words for them: M...

This is an amazing little authentic Mexican restaurant in the heart of JLT. Slightly hole in the wall for dining in - but filled with charm and incredible service!

Food is delicious! On offer are a number of Mexican dishes - and several fresh juices and drinks including Mexican Coca-Cola (made wi...

Authentic Mexican place with Mexican chefs in a unique little area! Was blown away by how amazing everything tasted and one of the best meals we've had in Dubai. We tried their tacos, quesadillas and also churros and it literally transported us to back to Mexico!

This is a must visit restaurant w...

I should have known the Mendoza brothers, Isaac and Josue, were behind El Mostacho in JLT. Invariably, whenever I see skyrocketing ratings and reviews which constantly include the words amazing and authentic Mexican food, I find one or both of these cool dudes are involved, e.g. the set-up of Taqado...

Stopped by because I heard El Mostacho does some great Mexican food- and it's the truth! Reminded me of the kind of mexican food I get in SoCal.

Favorite was probably steak tacos, closely followed by chicken and tongue. Guac was creamy and delicious. Hand made corn tortillas were also highlights....

Was craving to try their food for so long,and yesterday finally it happened but unfortunately the experience was not up to my expectations. Firstly, food was delivered 1.5 h later although the app was stating it would take 35 mins considering that i live in the next cluster. Secondly, the packaging ...

Staff is friendly indeed but food is not good portions are very small (3 taco plate was laughable) and I didn't find it authentic at all. Any restaurant serving pureed tomatoes as salsa cannot call itself authentic mexican. Not going back.

Best Mexican Taco joint in the while UAE. They know what it means to keep consistency in recipe, cooking methods and right ingredients. The Trio of Tacos (especially the cooked tongue and fish) is the best. Keep it up El Mostacho...

This is a hidden gem in the bustling corporate sector in JLT cluster I. The two brothers run the place. One is a chef and the other is the host. You can be guaranteed to get authentic Mexican cuisine. The place is a cosy small shop but it works. Highly recommend to try them.

Was craving my old Mexican place in San Diego so gave it a few visits. Was really good, but like everything in Dubai, quality is starting to slide. Meat was dry and after delivered, tacos look like they exploded in the container (probably not the fault of the restaurant tho). Still tasty, but wen...

It was amazing, some really good stuff to eat. The tacos are really nice and different, homemade like. The enchilada was amazing, really different from what you get outside. And don't forget to try the Mexican cola, it doesn't have the high fructose corn syrup you find in other colas.

We have ordered El Mostacho home. The quality of the meat and chicken is mediocre food in general was not tasty and not fresh. Extremely disappointed of what we have received, the tacos is soggy and the sauce was also all over the food in the delivery bag. Its not worth any penny!

Amazing food, wonderful staff. We came from out of town, excited for Mexican food which we love, and we re very pleased with El Mostacho. The food was wonderful, specifically the guac and the vegetarian burrito. The kids loved the quesadillas. The staff was excellent and accommodating and it made fo...

A small Mexican restaurant in the lobby where there's one table and some bench seating making it quite cosy. Even though that's ample for a quick bite (when they're not busy), it's also highly suitable for takeaway.

The food includes some Mexican favourites - I'm told attracting Mexicans to come...
