A fiesta brunch at La Carnita
Mexican food fans will be pleased to know about the newly launched El Secreto brunch, pictured right, being held at La Carnita in the InterContinental Dubai Marina. Hosted by the Secret Parties Group, the fiesta kicks off at 1pm every Friday, with a selection of starters brought out to the table – such as guacamole and chips, huevos rancheros and Mexican-style corn. And the feast doesn’t stop there: guests can select two tacos of their choice – the cauliflower and fried chicken are popular options – and a main course (choose from mushroom quesadillas, lamb, fried chicken and grilled fish). Churros and ice cream will be delivered to the table for dessert. This is not a brunch for a quiet crowd – so expect a DJ playing tunes all day long and even a pinata, or two, to break into.
Fridays from 1pm to 5pm, from Dh299, El Secreto Brunch at La Carnita, InterContinental, Dubai Marina, Dubai, bookings@secret-parties.com
