El Camino Cantina, Tex-Mex restaurant in The Rocks, Australia.
El Camino Cantina is a Tex-Mex restaurant on Argyle Street in The Rocks, Sydney, serving a menu that draws from both Mexican and Texan cooking. The dining room is decorated with bright colors, neon lights, and bold wall art, and the space is large enough to seat groups of different sizes.
The Rocks is the oldest part of Sydney and was the site of the first British settlement at the end of the 18th century. Many of the buildings in the area, including the one housing this restaurant, date from the colonial era and have been repurposed over time.
Tex-Mex cooking is not common in The Rocks, which makes this cantina stand out among the neighborhood's mostly European-style restaurants. The loud decor, neon signs, and casual feel give it a different mood from the sandstone pubs and tourist spots nearby.
The restaurant is on Argyle Street in The Rocks, within walking distance of the Harbour Bridge and Circular Quay. Booking ahead is a good idea for groups or weekend evenings, as the place tends to fill up.
El Camino Cantina keeps one of Sydney's largest selections of tequila and mezcal, with over 100 different bottles behind the bar. For anyone curious about these spirits, it offers a range that goes well beyond what most bars in the city carry.
