First.. It is OVERRATED.. EXPENSIVE if you are looking for a place to have better Mexican food for 1/10 the price, go to a food truck or a mall Mexican restaurant.. We were running late due to the insane traffic on the opening day of AIN Dubai.. Called 3 times no response, got there 30 minutes late the lady at the entrance was so Rude.. We tried explaining what happened all she could say was.. "remember you can only be seated for 2 hours". DO NOT TALK TO AND TREAT PAYING CUSTOMERS LIKE THAT.. she proceeds to take us to sit.. Then she asked will you want to sit in or out.. I said out.. Then she takes us. As we're sitting she then says MINIMUM SPEND IN THIS ARE IS 400 PER HEAD.. Really? After we just sat down? Why not tell guest at the entrance the restaurant has a segregation policy? Then we are sat and abandoned, they get my drink wrong, lamb shank in a bowl of soup... Basic food.. Bad service, rude staff Massive bill... Alejandro was the only staff who bothered.. I do not recommend n we are never going back there..Auto added to the bill are a massive amount for Municipality fees and serving charges (WHAT ARE THOSE) then the waiter proceeds to ask for more tip for the kitchen staff?????? What nerve.. After such a service?

Great ambience, good food, sit upstairs for sure. Be careful about the min charge which makes no sense. Entertainment is nice but expect more Mexican music :). Expect to pay $$$$ for what you get but overall good experience for special occasions. Would earn a 5 if pricing and this minimal charge get reviewed by management.

Had a great time here with my family, ordered a couple of beers and some deserts. The service was great however I didn't like the tortilla chips, they were a bit hard to chew. Overall, it was great!

Don't believe the hype. This was an awful experience. Food was greasy and unimaginative. Complained to the manager and we were offered a 20% discount. It didn't even attempt to make a dent in the 440 gold package and 550 premium package. Utterly disappointed in this establishment We stuck to the sticky tables and were offered dirty glassware and cutlery. 100% will never be back. Awful experience.

It is a Mexican Cuisine restaurants. The vibes are really nice and very relaxing. Nice views of the water. The food was delicious, the churros were amazing! The photos show the dynamite cauliflower. The waiters were very friendly, they gave my friend and I a rose each and were handing them out randomly to the customers. They all have a character with the Mexican touch in their uniforms and most or all speak Spanish. They were responsive and readily available.

The food is good and the place is family oriented. They have live show and live music in the night. One of the early opened restaurants in bluewater. The red snapper is good and fresh. The steak is all good with nice cooking show. Kale salad is nice and portion is big. The gucomoli is freshly done with a fantastic taste. The only thing i did not like is the tall fence and plants that blocked the beautiful sea view.

You gotta love this authentic Mexican restaurant in Blue Waters, right on the sea side. We tried many of the menu items like tacos, guacamole (freshly prepared), octopus, moules and margueritas. Food is amazing, vibes are out of the world, you never get bored since they keep surprises coming with beautiful bands, shows and music. Service is great and the crowd is amazing.

Great place to chill walk stroll and watch people while letting the time pass by. Place also looks great at night. Best time to go on winter when they have programs lined up like drone show but expect huge crowd esp during sun down #dubai #photography

Went for Saturday Brunch....what a Party! Great atmosphere and entertainment through out. Good service as well. BUT, food was a bit dissapointing. Starters were fine, but too much. Mains were OK, but nothing special. Dessert was Terrible. The Margeritas served was nice, although I really doubt they add any alcohol?? I must have had 15 of them and, anywhere else, I would have been crawling home, but here I did not even feel slightly tipsy. God figure.... also the Margaritas is poured over icecubes instead of crushed ice, which is a shame....on the bright side, you do not get brain freeze! so, if you come here, you come for the party atmosphere, not for the food!

Maybe a 4.5. Fairly expensive, but good too. Get the soft shell crab tacos, guacamole 🥑 is excellent.. made uniquely too. Skip the stakes (per others with me), stick to Mexican. Great cocktails 🍹. Margaritas are unique and pretty interesting.

I decided to eat out in Bluewater Dubai and I came across Puerto 99, I chose it instead of a French place close by. I didn’t know what to expect however the interior design and fittings lured me in. It is very well decorated however I don’t judge by the cover. It did meet my expectations and more. First of all, the staff for super friendly and took care of me and let me choose table on the terrace I was happy with. Andreas was my waiter and he was very accommodating also to assist him was a lovely blue eyed girl who I didn’t get her name but she did not leave me waiting for a second and made sure I received my dish as soon as it was made as well as other kind gestures and interactions which made me want to stay longer :) She also socialised with me and put me in a better mood as I was thinking this will be another boring restaurant. The did have a live Dj playing pop music which also was cool, and then they had live entertainment in the form of a live singer in traditional Mexican outfit and performing Mexican songs which was really fun and then they had a guy walking around with a skull mask and gently scaring and laughing with the guests and allowed us to take pics which was pretty cool, all this while we were eating and they also had a lady handing out sombreros for us to take photos with. I showed up moody and left happy and in good spirits and a full stomach. The view from the terrace of the skyline is wonderful. The food was good I’d give it a high 7/10, I found the menu a little to niche and slightly over priced, even though there is a minimum 300aed spend you will exceed it with ease, half of the starters are around that price and the dishes hover around 300+. Dishes are served in a timely manner, staff have excellent communication and anticipation of customer needs, I still definitely recommend this place as you are buying more than just the food you are buying the experience and it’s a really good one eating waterside and it’s really awesome for taking photos to for your social media inside and outside. I’m very happy 10/10 with everything else except the food I give it a 7/10, I’m probably being fussy and difficult because it’s not my usual cuisine but I do respect afford and they earned my respect. The staff and management pays attention to detail and I noticed this because they even iron the table clothes so they are super flat and crease free when you dine.

Food was good, above average. Portions were decent. Presentation was excellent! Social media worthy. Great ambience with live music and a Dj. Can get a bit too loud at times up stairs. Furniture / seating is a bit too cramped up. I had a bad back pain after 2 hours sitting on the wooden chair with not back cushion. Location and view is awesome. But meeras as has done a poor job with directions and signs once you enter blue waters. There is a VALTRANS paid valet service upstairs and alternately you just go down to B2 and park around slots 400 onwards for direct access up, closest to the restaurant. Must try the bone marrow taco :)

So much fun and energetic place. I wasn’t a huge fan of the grilled octopus though. It was very slimy and the portion was huge. They dont respond to calls. Try to book through the link on their website.

An amazing place! All the celebrations doing here. All stuff is incredibly nice and fun! They all dance with you. DJ - top! Waiter Alejandro was fantastic and made us feel as if we are in Mexico 😎

Fantastic Friday night dinner party! We went to Puerto with our guests visiting from US and they were amazed at the lively environment, the outstanding service and food quality. Our server Jennifer was fantastic and kept a watchful eye on our needs. The managing staff provided us an excellent table and we got to enjoy the mariachi band along with some salsa dance. It was a fantastic evening to remember. Thank you Christian (manager) for continuously accommodating my teams and executives to have outstanding experience for the past two years!

Not bad if you are around the blue waters area and felt like having Mexican. Not my cup of tea though, music was strange. In a Mexican place you would expect to hear some Mexican/Spanish/Latin music, well they had Michael Jackson. Good service, sweet and friendly staff. I liked the candles and the skulls.

Best, best, best, best place ever. Love to be here, stuff extremely lovely people, specially Anas is the nicest person, love the night when he’s on duty, thank you darling )))))…food super amazing, music DJ it’s something like unbelievably nice, like very super. You just become a part of the night, you don’t know anyone but at the same time they’re your best friends)))))) this is the only place what I love ❤️

Went here for dinner. We got seating outside overlooking the sea. Great beers and cocktails followed by nachos with dips. The nachos and dips were complimentary. We had the guacamole, which I would recommend as this is made in front of you by a lovely aunty from Mexico City. This tasted great and you know it is fresh. We also had the queso fundido, which again is made in front of you. Great show. This is served in tortillas. I suggest you eat these while hot as the cheese does solidify after a while. We had a selection of tacos which were ok... The avacado one was our favourite. The mushroom ones are not so great. We finished the meal with churros. These were ok... A bit too crispy. Overall it was a nice evening with authentic flavours, though very good... Not the best. But still worth a visit. The meal was very pricey, so keep this in mind.

I stayed in Dubai for about 2.5 weeks as part of a business trip. Puerto 99 was probably the best restaurant i went to (and trust me i went to a lot!). Food was amazing, location was amazing and the entertainment was also amazing. i went there twice. first time was halloween themed - they had people dressed up in masks dancing around and adding a great vibe to the whole experience. The second time i went - we had mexican singers providing entertainment who were simply unbelievable. I had never experienced it before and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it both times so much that i felt i had to tell the manager of the restaurant - he was very friendly and even offered me an item as something to remember the restaurant by (it was a plate with a really interesting design that i noticed the moment i sat down - see picture!) Highly recommend this place!

Soulful venue offering best entertainment and dining experience with sea view at the hrart of Bluewaters. Taco Tuesday night was a delight, with deliciois food (too much of it!) and deliciois margharitas. If you fancy dining and dancing - book upstairs and dance the night away. Vivo Mexico))
