The Good Stuff
Brunch Choice
Brunches stand out for generous starters such as sliders, calamari, tacos and burrata toast.
Music Energy
DJs, live performances and Arabic-English music give brunches and nights a distinctly upbeat feel.
Cocktails
Customers repeatedly praise the cocktails, with one review describing them as balanced and beautifully crafted.
Taco Brunch
The Taco Tuesday brunch is a strong draw, with one guest calling the tacos the best they had tried in Dubai.
Vegan Options
There are vegan choices including mushroom ceviche, though diners should confirm preparation and serving arrangements.
Tips for a Better Visit
Reserve Ahead. Book in advance, especially for groups or preferred window seating, as walk-ins may struggle to find a table.
Check Vegan Prep. If ordering vegan food, confirm the dish with your waiter and request separate plating from non-vegetarian sushi.
Try Outdoors. For cooler weather, consider outdoor seating; a review specifically recommended it for a more enjoyable visit.
Clarify Parking. Ask for precise basement or valet directions before parking, since staff instructions have differed.
Order Early. During a full Taco Tuesday, service was stretched, so ordering promptly may help avoid delays.

The Bottom Line
La Mezcaleria Downtown is a 27th-floor lounge in Dubai Marina built around skyline views, music and social evenings. You can come for dinner, cocktails and shisha, or book one of its brunch formats, including Taco Tuesday and ladies’ nights. The setting suits groups and dates more than a quiet meal: DJs, live performances and Arabic-English playlists are recurring highlights.
Food reviews are strongest on shareable starters and bar-friendly plates. Guests mention mini tacos, sliders, calamari, burrata toast, truffle French fries and mushroom ceviche; the risotto and sushi also receive specific praise. Brunch mains are less consistent, and some diners felt the sharing portions were small.
Vegan diners should confirm dishes with the waiter, as one sushi order initially arrived on the same plate as non-vegetarian sushi. Service is often warm and attentive, but it can slow down during a full house. One guest waited 45 minutes for a beer, while another left after waiting about 20 minutes without an order.
Reserve ahead for groups or window seating, and clarify parking directions before arriving. The music may be too loud for easy conversation, though outdoor seating was recommended in cooler weather.
