The Bottom Line

Meshico is a Mexican restaurant in Palm Jumeirah built around two things: food and a show. You can order guacamole, shrimp or fish tacos, ceviche, enchiladas and larger seafood or steak dishes, then expect mariachi, DJs, dancers and occasional invitations onto the dance floor. It suits birthdays, group dinners and anyone who wants a lively evening rather than a quiet table.

The strongest food mentions are the guacamole and shrimp tacos; fish tacos also impressed one diner in a taco sampler. Sunday brunch is especially theatrical, with abundant food, ceviche, desserts, margarita options, drums, lights and dancing. Vegetarian diners should find several choices, although the reviews are not uniformly positive: some guests found the main courses average, a fish plate overly salty, or particular tacos and churros disappointing.

Budget carefully. A guest reported 911 for two people, while another said three drinks and vegetable appetisers exceeded 500. One advertised 99AHD set menu was quoted at 116AHD instead, so confirm current menus, discounts and taxes before ordering.

The music can be loud enough to hinder conversation, and service has occasionally slowed during large events. Outdoor seating is worth requesting when the weather is comfortable for views towards the fountains and Atlantis.
