The best Latin American food in the United Arab Emirates, according to the experts: The 50, Eater, and the Michelin Guide have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Girl & the Goose comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Dubai.

Rank 1. Girl & the Goose
Latin American
Chef Gabriela Chamorro spent years flying Emirates routes before trading the cabin for a supper club in her own home, which eventually outgrew the living room and landed here: a Central American restaurant inside the Anantara Downtown Dubai Hotel, ranked among MENA's 50 Best Restaurants. Terracotta walls, a birdcage bar, and an open kitchen carry the warmth of that original setup into something considerably more spacious, with pupusas and clay-pot short ribs doing the heavy lifting.

Rank 2. Amazónico Dubai
Latin American
Three floors of tropical greenery in the middle of DIFC, where the Amazon rainforest aesthetic gets taken very seriously and the bar keeps pace with the dining room. The Latin American menu wanders from sushi to grilled meats, which sounds chaotic but tracks with the Amazon basin's many communities. First-floor tables face the open kitchen; the panoramic terrace is the move for a cocktail before or after.
