Where We Are Going Today: Just Taco

If you are craving bold flavors and authentic Mexican street food, Just Taco in Riyadh is worth a visit. Known for its lively atmosphere and delicious menu, the restaurant combines casual dining with a fun twist.

The menu features flavorful choices such as the taco mix platter, offering a variety of tacos packed with authentic Mexican spices. For sharing, the loaded nachos are a hit, with crispy tortilla chips topped with gooey cheese, jalapenos and fresh pico de gallo.

Another standout is the cheesy fries with pulled beef, a hearty dish that combines creamy, savory and crunchy elements.

The food impresses with its freshness and quality, ensuring every bite is flavorful. With reasonable prices, it is an excellent spot to experience authentic Mexican cuisine.

Just Taco has quickly become a favorite for taco enthusiasts in Riyadh, offering consistent quality and memorable flavors.

The cozy ambiance, highlighted by vibrant green and yellow decor, creates a cheerful and welcoming vibe. Friendly staff further enhance the experience, making it a great choice for casual meals with friends or family.

One potential drawback is the shared-gender restroom, which may not suit everyone. However, the excellent food and lively atmosphere more than compensate for this.

A Kuwaiti cafe that arrived in Riyadh in 2020, Pick is a popular grab-and-go spot offering fresh, tasty, and healthy snacks and meals.

Their sandwiches and hot platters are perfect for lunch or dinner, with calorie, fat, carb, and protein info for easy choices.

My favorite is the turkey veggie with its simple ingredients like reduced-fat cheddar, tomato, lettuce, Dijon mustard, and a few drops of Tabasco.

Other options include chicken rocca, chicken spinach, the club, egg sandwich with high-protein bread, tandoori wrap, tuna pesto, pepperoni pizza wrap, chicken fajita wrap, and more.

Hot platters range from chicken tawook and butter chicken to lamb machboos, shrimp red curry, galbi jim, chicken katsu, green chicken curry, and pasta options.

Salads come in small side pots or larger meal bowls, all fresh and balanced. The quinoa Greek salad pot is a standout.

Their acai bowls — classic, peanut, passion fruit, or build-your-own — are also appealing.

Pick also offers bakery items, frozen yogurt, and healthy cheesecakes. The fro-yo toppings were good, though I’d have preferred the yogurt a bit tangier.

The cafe has a relaxed, airy vibe, ideal for meals or light work. One tip: Skip the matcha unless you like it more milky than grassy.

Overall, Pick is a solid choice for complete meals and healthy desserts. Check their Instagram @pick_saudi for more options.
