Loca opens new Abu Dhabi restaurant in The Galleria on Al Maryah Island



The Galleria Mall in Abu Dhabi has yet another new restaurant to tempt the taste buds of foodies in the capital.

Loca, the award-winning Mexican restaurant and bar that has outlets in Dubai Marine Beach Hotel & Spa and Souk Al Bahar in Downtown Dubai, opened on January 22 on Al Maryah Island.

The venue offers a range of delicious dishes including ceviche, fajitas and burritos, along with well-known Latin-American options.

The executive chef Juan Flores, who hails from Mexico, also adds some traditional flavour of his own by including his handmade corn husk tamales on the menu.

As part of The Galleria Dining Collection, which includes Zuma, Roberto’s and Bentley Bistro & Bar, Loca 3.0 has a variety of areas for dining, watching sports or listening to live music, and has a large alfresco terrace overlooking the water.

“We are thrilled to open our third Loca restaurant and bar on Al Maryah Island,” says Loca co-founder, Hiba Kosta. “Abu Dhabi is a world class destination, attracting visitors from across the world and we are ready to wow them with our world-class cuisine and stand out service.”

• Loca is open Monday to Sunday from 12pm to 2am. For more information or bookings call 02 582 3639, email abudhabi@locauae.com and visit www.locauae.com
