Avion Beach Cantina at Sheraton Grand Mirage
Until the end of January, you can pair a stay at the Gold Coast's Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort with creative margaritas and a pop-up taco market.
Overview
Living the resort life is what summer is all about, and Brisbanites don't need to travel too far to get their fix. If an overseas holiday isn't quite calling for various reasons — leave balances, bank balances, life in general — hitting the Gold Coast's Sheraton Grand Mirage will help you feel like you've made the trip to Mexico.
Until Sunday, January 29, you can pair a stay at the Main Beach hotel with creative margaritas and a pop-up taco market. The drinks come courtesy of tequila brand Avión, which has set up an Avión Beach Cantina poolside, complete with plenty of beverages and Mexican-style bites made with Queensland produce.
In leafy surroundings with a big tropical garden bar vibe, this cantina is pouring mango, lime, grapefruit and passionfruit margs, including 'ritas infused with jalapeño for an extra kick, plus sangria jugs, frosé and mocktails.
As for the tacos, expect grilled chipotle chicken, barramundi, black beans and slow-cooked pulled pork served with salsas, as well as guacamole, corn chips and pico de gallo.
Operating from 12–7pm daily, with food over lunch from 12–3pm, the cantina does have one catch: you need to be a hotel guest to enjoy the pop-up. Yes, the Goldie counts as a vacation, even just for a night or two.
