El Camino Cantina is part of Pacific Concepts hospitality group. Pacific Concepts President Frank Tucker said the team was thrilled to be bringing its second location to the Gold Coast and to one of the country’s most iconic destinations, Surfers Paradise.
“El Camino Cantina is a fun-loving casual destination, much like Surfers Paradise itself, which makes this iconic location a natural fit for our much-loved El Camino Cantina concept,” Mr Tucker said.
“With a new 250-seat restaurant comes a large number of new jobs to the coast, and as an employer of choice, we are looking forward to taking local recruits on a journey of career progression within our hospitality group.”
El Camino Cantina will throw open the doors to a turbocharged Tex-Mex dining experience at Surfer’s Paradise on Friday, 9 September, with a fully-fledged Ritapalooza festival showcasing its famous rockstar-style Margaritas.
