Had a great experience at El Camino Cantina! The food was absolutely delicious and some of the best Mexican food I’ve had. The vibe is fun, lively, and full of energy, making it a great place to catch up with friends and family. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Loved everything about this place and will definitely be coming back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5/5) Had a great lunch at El Camino Cantina South Bank while visiting Brisbane. We ordered the brisket burrito, steak, and the chicken drumsticks special, and everything was full of flavour with generous portions. The atmosphere was fun, lively, and perfect for a family meal. One of the highlights was getting to spin the prize wheel. Our daughter landed on the $50 voucher, but since we’re visiting from Perth, we elected for a small meal instead as an alternative prize instead. Overall the food, friendly service, and entertaining atmosphere made for a really enjoyable visit.

Lovely spot for a Sat lunch. Margaritas were fresh and ice cold. Taco trio was fantastic- prawn, pulled pork and fried fish. Cauliflower taco with pico de gallo πŸ‘ŒπŸ½πŸ˜˜ Staff were lovely and service prompt.

Had a family dinner here and the staff were really helpful especially with our older guests. I love the Mexican vibes and atmosphere here along with the plentiful food. Mind you no enchiladas. But the little dudes and young at heart did get free sombreros. Love this place.

I usually love El Camino, but this one was a let down for the brand. From the start they had us waiting outside 10 minutes in the rain while they were trying to fix a guest problem. Second, the aircon was not working and it was 30 degrees heat. Third they had NO FROZEN GRAPE, which is criminal. Fourth the corn chips in the car was empty. Fifth, my fajita sides came in one little bowl, no where near enough as well and there was so much liquid at the bottom. Sixth, they left a chux on or table. I came here for my 30th birthday dinner with my wife and I regret coming as overall it was letdown.
