Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6
1

Book ahead. Reserve in summer if you want indoor seating; one walk-in group was offered outdoor tables only and found it too hot.

2

Arrive early. For an outdoor sunset table, arrive early: a review says the restaurant was packed by the time the diners left.

The Bottom Line

Señor Pico is a beachfront Mexican restaurant in Nakhlat Jumeira, with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the sea. It suits sunset dinners, casual drinks and family meals, particularly if you want a promenade-and-beach setting rather than a purely food-focused restaurant. Reviews commonly mention tuna ceviche, tacos, churros and cocktails; the churros are often described as crisp outside, fluffy inside and paired with chocolate sauce.

The food is uneven by dish, but there are clear standouts. Baja fish, shrimp, barbacoa beef and duck tacos receive strong praise, as do the tuna tartare, nachos, crispy cauliflower and lamb birria. Portions are often described as generous, especially for starters, and children are welcome, with sand nearby and at least one family receiving customised nachos.

Service ranges from remarkably attentive to average. Some diners appreciated staff pacing courses and helping with practical details, while others waited for drinks or attention. Prices can feel high for the quantity, and one review reported 40 AED for two hours of parking.

Book ahead in summer, when walk-ins may be limited to hot outdoor tables, and arrive early if sunset seating matters. Cocktails are popular, though one review put drinks at about 80AED each.
