Default Taco Shop Jumeira

A friend of mine recommended a Mexican restaurant called Maria Bonita in Jumeira. I'm getting mixed comments on this, most say it's not good while some say it is. I checked it out in TimeOut and said it's one of the best-kept secrets of Dubai. What's their specialty? Any feedback would be very much welcome.

I personally like Maria Bonitas and I think you will find it is in Umm Suqeim on Umm Al Sheif street (not Jumerah), it is always busy when I go there both with eat in diners and take aways.......

I actually live round the corner from this place, but have never got there (think its the lack of alcohol being served).

Had visitors who went and they said the food was very salty.

But of course! I hope they would allow me to bring my own chardonnay

I know you hate this place, but I was in Shakespeare's the other day by the way...

I've been there a few times and it's Mexican food just as you would expect it to taste, nothing more but I wouldn't call it crap...and because it's not part of a chain, it has a different feel to it, and you can sit outside which is always nice...
just try it for yourself and report back...
