Tuesdays made for Tacos
With all the cool, boujee happenings in Dubai daily, weekly, and monthly – rooftop drinks, late brunches, niche wellness things – you might find yourself craving something a bit simpler. Nothing overcomplicated, just a solid street food staple like tacos – quick, satisfying, and easy to enjoy. Why Taco Tuesday? It started decades ago in southern California as a weekly tradition that somehow became a global ritual. Here are six of the best Taco Tuesday deals in Dubai keeping it simple and doing it right.
Hanaaya, Jumeirah Mina Al Salam

Tortuga is back – and for the summer only. The cult Mexican spot has returned as a seasonal pop-up at Jumeirah Mina A’Salam, taking over a corner of Hanaaya with all the hits: sizzling fajitas, chimichangas, street corn, and of course, tacos. It runs daily from lunchtime through to late evening, but Tuesdays are the big one. Expect favourites like carne asada with cheese crust and taquera salsa, or the crispy Baja-style fish with chile arbol emulsion. It’s loud, laid-back, and full of flavour – just how it should be.
Location: Hanaaya, Jumeirah Mina A’Salam
Times: Daily, 12:30pm to 10pm
Cost: Taco Tuesdays priced at Dhs150 (unlimited tacos) or Dhs250 (with 3 drinks)
