Both Lila Taqueria and Lila Molino are deeply comforting spaces to experience authentic Mexican food, where every ingredient is thoughtfully sourced.

chef, Jun's (Dubai)
The best tacos in Dubai. I love the fact that chef Shaw is obsessive about bringing in the right ingredients and making everything from scratch. And she makes her own tacos.

as I’m a taco girl through and through, and this place on Jumeirah Beach Road is my go-to for something easy and always good. The Baja fish taco is a staple in my rotation.
