Its robust spiciness is perfectly complemented by the zesty notes of lime, resulting in a harmonious fusion of flavours that captivates the palate. And the Al Pastor Alambre, El Camino’s take on surf and turf, combines Asada beef, chorizo and prawns simmered in pastor sauce with peppers, onions, tomatoes and pineapple, culminating in a delightful gastronomic fusion. Served with warm flour tortillas, it’s a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to blending Latin American traditions with modern innovation. Indeed, El Camino’s promises an unforgettable dining experience that reflects the diversity and vibrancy of the continent it honours.
But what truly sets this restaurant apart is its remarkable selection of unique tequilas, and a knowledgeable staff that takes pride in showcasing the rich and varied world of this beloved spirit for new fans and connoisseurs alike. Don’t miss the Tequila Anticuado, a sublime cocktail featuring Sauza Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila, spice syrup and bitters, which provides a delightful balance of flavours and an unforgettable taste of Mexico in every sip.
And El Camino’s doesn’t stop at tequila alone—its cocktail menu takes guests on a thrilling journey through Latin American spirits and flavours. Its Pisco Fever is a must-try, blending South American Pisco with Aperol, grapefruit, lime, sugar and egg white for a refreshing and balanced concoction. For those who crave something a bit more adventurous, the Cacao Loco is a tantalizing choice, featuring Havana Club 3-Year Rum, chili, crème de cacao, passionfruit gomme and lime, offering a fusion of flavours that transports your taste buds to the tropical beaches of the Caribbean.
