Raise a toast for one of the coolest night joints at intercontinental Dubai Marina, La Carnita DXB. Known for its lip-smacking tacos, this Mexican inspired restaurant has an amazing menu including fusion of the Latin Amercian street food items. La Carnita began as a pop-up food stand on Toronto’s growing underground food fest circuit, where it gave away tacos alongside artworks and regularly drew massive line-ups of hungry foodies. Building up a steady fan base, it took the Toronto food scene by storm and now has seven restaurants across the city.
The brand continues to bring the same artsy and cheerful decor at their newest addition in Dubai as well.
Ian Rydberg, founder and principal designer from Solid Design Creative, has worked on this restaurant. Ian Rydberg says: “La Carnita (LC) BXB has a more raw, urban warehouse feel than any of the other LC locations. We have developed a specific look and feel based on the shape and flow of he spcae. For example, we turned the mezzanine level above the restaurant into a bridge overlooking the warehouse interior – this is a nod to the urban, underground landscape and to ensure it has its own identity. The ceiling height for La Carnita DXB enabled us to add canopy style booths – a first for the La Carnita franchise”.
