Tuesdays just got tastier for anyone in Abu Dhabi willing to hunt down a good taco deal. Whether you want to sit by the water, order in, or turn dinner into a night out, there's a spread of options across the city worth knowing about.
At Yas Bay Waterfront, Barbossa launched its Let's Taco 'Bout It Taco Tuesdays back in August, and it remains one of the best value nights around: tacos for Dhs10 and margaritas for Dhs20.
If you'd rather stay in, La Patrona is a delivery-only taco specialist available on Deliveroo, talabat, Careem, Noon, and Keeta. Tacos average Dhs50 for three pieces, and for something more substantial, the Quesabirria Box comes in at Dhs139.
Maria Bonita Mexican Grill has been a fixture in the UAE since 2002, known for fresh-pressed tortillas and table-side guacamole. Its business lunch, priced at Dhs59, includes a starter, main, dessert, and soft drink, and is served at both Yas Food Hall and Marina Mall Abu Dhabi.
Over at Yas Links, diners can get a trio of tacos paired with a choice of Heineken, Paloma, Margarita, or Mezcalita for Dhs80 for one person or Dhs149 for two — all while looking out over the golf course and Abu Dhabi's mangroves.
Loca Abu Dhabi keeps Tuesdays lively with a quiz night running from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, alongside à la carte tacos priced between Dhs85 and Dhs120. For those who prefer to make a full evening of it, Loca also runs a Tuesday night brunch from 7pm to 10pm, with free flowing drinks for Dhs210 per person.
And if wagyu is more your speed, Novikov Abu Dhabi serves wagyu tacos for Dhs85 — available every day of the week, not just Tuesdays. The restaurant, crowned What's On Abu Dhabi's Newcomer of the Year in 2026, is located at The Galleria Al Maryah Island, Level 2 Luxury Collection, South Plaza ADGM. It's open Sunday to Thursday from 12pm to 1am, and Friday to Saturday from 12pm to 2am.
With options ranging from Dhs10 street-style bites to wagyu upgrades, Abu Dhabi's Taco Tuesday scene has something for nearly every budget and mood — whether that's a quick delivery order, a sunset by the golf course, or a full night out with a quiz thrown in.
