El Camino Cantina is known for its colourful interiors, cheap Tuesday tacos and giant margaritas, including at its venue in Fitzroy. Those oversized drinks are a huge drawcard, and they're on offer every day — but every now and then, the lively Tex Mex chain throws in a few specials. Melburnians, it's that time again. Until Monday, March 13, El Camino's local outpost is celebrating those easy-to-down slushie margs with a month-long ode to the frozen cocktail. In the spotlight: ten of the chain's favourite special flavours, including varieties like Skittle, marshmallow, fruit tingle, sour apple and 'rita colada. The lineup also includes classics like mango, strawberry and lychee — and a watermelon and chilli number as well. El Camino's Fitzroy venue is serving all ten for the entire month, but that's not the only reason to stop by. Hit up the bar on National Margarita Day, which falls on Wednesday, February 22, and there'll also be a limited-edition one-day-only 'rita: a mango and gold Grand Marnier float version made with aged Patrón Anejo tequila, gold leaf and dry ice.
