Overview

Sure, you've eaten tacos and burritos before — but have you tried tortas and arepas? One of the benefits of the street food surge is the easy accessibility of different types of international delights. And when it comes to all things Latin, Comuna Cantina is jumping on that bandwagon.

The upcoming addition to Albert Lane will champion the flavour, experience and spirit of South America in a market-style eatery in the heart of the Brisbane CBD. That means more than just Mexican cuisine, though a few old favourites are also on the low-carb, high-protein menu. Expect everything from grilled street corn to cassava chips to barbecue skewers — all made fresh in-house daily, right down to the sauces and salsas.

When it opens its doors in March, Comuna Cantina will be the kind of place that you can grab a char-grilled chicken torta and go, or settle in for a few share plates and frozen margaritas — the choice is yours. And while the former is perfectly acceptable, it's the latter that will really be encouraged, as the space will feature a well-stocked cocktail bar serving Comuna Coladas and Comuna Martinis, and no doubt some great, lively Latin vibes. Comuna does mean community in Spanish, after all.

Comuna Cantina is set to open in March in Albert Lane, Brisbane. For more information, keep an eye on their Facebook page and Instagram.
