$2 Taco Tuesday
This lively chain of Tex-Mex bars is slinging cheap tacos one night a week.
Overview
El Camino Cantina has several locations around Brisbane and southeast Queensland — at South Bank, Bowen Hills, Chermside, Robina and Sunshine Plaza — and, at every one, the chain is giving the people what we want. If you're heading to a Tex-Mex bar and eatery, then you want plenty of tacos. Ideally, you want them cheap as well.
Enter the brand's weekly $2 Taco Tuesday sessions, which is exactly what it sounds like. Head by every Tuesday and you can tuck into a highly affordable feed of caesar salad tacos, cheeseburger tacos and spicy cauliflower tacos, all using soft shells. There's also a special flavour each week, still just for a gold coin.
If you'd like a beverage to wash your tacos down with, the regular range of margaritas, cocktails, wines and beers are on offer. Consider this a PSA: El Camino is known for its slushie machines, so you might want to sip something semi-frozen.
And if you're after a couple of other varieties of taco and you're willing to spend $4 a pop instead, you have even more options. The chain is dishing up its cadillac range for that still-discounted price, spanning everything from tempura barramundi, chorizo and jerk chicken to pulled pork, sautéed steak and beef brisket.
