The Mexican haunt has created a special menu to celebrate the last few weeks of summer. For just AED100, guests can enjoy a number of starters that includes beef, chicken and fish tacos. For mains, guests can chose between one of the three mains; Mexican fajitas, catch of the day or roasted chicken served with three chilli mole sauce. There’s dessert too – we recommend the churros – and live entertainment – the in-house DJ will be spinning a number of upbeat tunes.

Anantara Spa
Following a stylish revamp, this lavish two-storey spa features palatial hammam facilities – think marble floors, trickling fountains and brightly coloured mosaics – for men, women and couples. We recommend the Turkish hammam body escape. After a steam and skin-renewing scrub with a kese mitt, your skin will be slathered in dollops of shea butter enriched with Argan oil. It’s AED800 for 90 minutes.
Where: Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort & Spa

The Dark Tower (18)
Before we all sit down to watch It, there’s another Stephen King adaptation to get our teeth into. Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey star in this weird sci-fi cowboy Lord of the Rings mashup about the fate of the world. Somehow it works. Just.
