Gourmands with a penchant for the flavours and dishes of Mexico will be able to sate their cravings from next Thursday (May 14) as ZOCO throws open its doors once again.
Set upon the seventh floor of the eclectic V Hotel Dubai, Curio Collection by Hilton, the eccentric restaurant will showcase authentic flavours and the unrivalled spirit of Mexico, all under the expert guidance of Chef Harold Nostas Coutino.
ZOCO’s new menu is an exciting celebration of Mexican culinary traditions, offering guests a variety of bold and flavourful dishes. Highlights include the legendary burrito, a dish steeped in folklore tracing back to the Mexican Revolution and packed with beef, guacamole, Mexican rice, pico de gallo, refried beans and habanero pesto. The tostada de pulpo also offers a delightful crunch topped with fire-roasted octopus, guajillo chili, garlic cream and roasted mango.
Guests can further savour the gooey queso fundido with Monterrey Jack cheese, roasted chicken chorizo, and flour tortillas, or enjoy the sizzling fajitas served on a fiery iron pan with onions, peppers and a unique Mar y Tierra twist. For taco lovers, the tacos de suadero deliver slow-cooked brisket with avocado, caramelised onions and a crispy cheese crust.
For heartier appetites, the asado de tira, which comprises grilled short ribs marinated in lime juice, served with padron peppers and Mexican rice, is a must-try. The enchiladas feature corn tortillas stuffed with tinga de pollo and topped with green tomatillo sauce and refried beans, while dessert lovers can indulge in classic churros dusted with cinnamon and served with rich chocolate sauce.
Complementing the menu is an extensive selection of signature drinks, from customisable margaritas and palomas to traditional micheladas and cervecitas. Guests can also explore more adventurous options like the sureño and espuma de mezcal or sip on refreshing agua de Jamaica straight from Mexico.
