"12-inch quesadilla on National Quesadilla Day. The cheese pull went viral. Worth every dirham."

"Querida punches above what 'small Mexican spot in Al Barsha' should be. The Mexican-grown chiles, the Mama Lalis editorial direction, the per-dish editorial — this is restaurant-as-magazine done right."
