Chef de cuisine Ale Kuri said Dua Lipa's group was "so nice" and highlighted her love for camarones "El Ricas." They also enjoyed tuna tiradito, shrimp aguachiles, ceviches, and pescado zarandeado.

Este's executive chef Fermin Nuñez might even update the menu description following Dua Lipa's compliment.

Broken Spoke

Post-performance, Dua Lipa visited the iconic honky-tonk Broken Spoke, sharing moments on social media with the caption "HONKY TONK HEAVEN." She was seen two-stepping and singing Josh Turner's "Your Man" with friends.
