Kick off the Christmas season at Loca next Friday, at the Mexican eatery’s seven-hour festive fiesta from 12pm until 7pm.

Festivities will include a Christmas themed menu designed by the talented Mexican Chef Juan Flores, featuring items sprinkled with heavy burst of flavours.

The culinary adventure will begin with the renowned side-table guacamole accompanied by crunchy tortillas chips, followed by mains such as the tasteful Fajitas De Pavo, Tacos De Carne Cochida and Caldo De Pollo Rojo.

Highlights from the Menu De Navidad are the roast turkey-inspired dishes Tostadas Pavo Pipian and Huarache De Pava with trimmings. Those with a sweet tooth can enjoy a traditional caramel flan, which gives the full experience a sweet ending. The food can be enjoyed with an array of instagrammable thirst-quenchers and holiday-inspired beverages.

Back by popular demand, Loca is set to throw a traditional Loteria – and guests have a chance to win festive prizes. The game resemblance bingo but with a twist whereas the colourful cards are a form of folk art with popular Mexican figures. Those who complete the game will shout out LOTERIA! and will be rewarded with gifted items prepared by Loca.

Taking it to another jolly level, there will be live music played at both the Dubai and Abu Dhabi venues, playing guilty pleasure-style pop and dance hits – enough to make anyone’s Friday upbeat.

Details: Brunch is priced at AED 285 per person, and takes place on Friday 14 December between 12pm-7pm. To make a booking, call +971 4 3461111(Dubai) or +97125823639. If you enjoyed this article, you may also be interested in reading about this festive megabrunch at the Atlantis.
