A hipster taco bar with a no-frills approach. Can they make it work?
Dubai’s Mexican dining scene has been going through a shake up this year. While DIFC’s fine dining option Peyote and Loca 2.0 both closed their doors, cool Mexican restaurant La Carnita and homegrown Palm Jumeirah spot Luchador have both proved instant hits. So how will El Noctámbulo, a cool new taco bar in d3, fare among them?
The décor has a simple, industrial feel and rather than trying to reinvent the wheel with its interiors, El Noctámbulo has simply graffitied over the existing concrete walls and pillars with murals of an owl (their name translates to ‘the night owl’), abstract art and various versions of their logo in bright yellow and turquoise hues. It’s a long, narrow space, filled with mismatch furniture.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER
This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly.
