El Camino Cantina is honouring Cinco de Mayo, the annual Mexican celebration falling
on Thursday, 5 May, with DJs, face painting, tequila-infused festivities and limited-edition menu items.
From Sunday, 1 May to Saturday, 7 May, El Camino Cantina locations across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast will tap into the annual festivities. There will be DJs at El Camino Cantina in The Rocks in Sydney, Fitzroy in Melbourne, and Bowen Hills in Brisbane on Thursday, 5 May from 7pm and
complimentary face painting of traditional calavera, or skeleton faces.
Skittle-infused tequila shooters are on the drinks menu all week at all locations in Sydney – The Rocks, Entertainment Quarter, Manly and Miranda, as well as Fitzroy in Melbourne, Bowen Hills and Chermside in Brisbane and Sunshine Plaza on the Sunshine Coast and Robina on the Gold Coast.
Cult followers of El Camino Cantina’s ever-changing frozen Margarita flavours have a trio of rainbow-coloured, limited-edition Cinco de Mayo Ritas to try: Mango Jalapeno, Passionfruit Paloma and Yuzu Watermelon.
