Picture this – you’re gazing out to the ocean, the salty air filling your lungs. You have a taco in one hand and a marg in the other. Life is good. If that sounds like your ideal scenario, we have some news that might be of interest – joining Paradise Centre’s new array of eateries is Tex-Mex wild child El Camino Cantina. The enormous 250-seat venue has claimed arguably the best location in the precinct, at the beach end of level one, and brings eccentric energy and party vibes with seating spanning inside and out. The interior decor delivers a fusion of Tex-Mex flair and urban edge – think recycled brick, polished concrete and breeze-block features alongside its signature neon lights, cacti, crosses and graffiti artwork.

When it comes to the fare, the Surfers Paradise venue is the only one in the country to offer a morning menu, including fresh-squeezed juices and breakfast tacos. Best of all, the new El Camino dishes up the venue’s pocket-friendly specials including $2 Taco Tuesday and 10-cent Wing Wednesday and we’re told there may or may not be (there definitely will be) some bespoke menu items crafted exclusively for the new beachfront iteration. Wanna chat? Lets taco-bout it over Mexican.
