WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE OUR BAVARIAN RESTAURANTS. Shame that the Rockhampton branch has folded recently. This one is very quiet, but it is an extremely wet day. Enjoyed the meals just the same. Chicken schnitzel is to die for and the burgers go down well also. Cheers big ears

Huge portion sizes and friendly staff. Bavarian platter could have easily been enough for a family of 4. Pork snitchel was as big as my 10year olds head

Booked online for the 2 for 1 Tuesday schnitzel special for our lunch date. Friendly & prompt service and the servings were generous sizes… We left with full & contented tummies and will definitely be coming back again.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Camino, a fantastic spot that truly knows how to serve up a delicious meal. The manager, Efendi, was incredibly welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment I walked in. The highlight of my meal was the tacos – they were absolutely amazing! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, each bite was a delight. A huge shoutout to the chef for crafting such a memorable dish! The combination of quality ingredients and expert preparation really stood out. Whether you’re a taco lover or just looking for a great meal, El Camino is definitely a place to check out. Highly recommended

We ordered the taco tower and Our waitress Kate was incredible. She made sure we were looked after during our dining time, fish and chicken tacos were the best and again Kate’s service topped the night off! Thank you Kate and staff

Late lunch on a Tuesday: it’s a tiny cute cafe with authentic decor and indoor & outdoor tables. I had lamb samosas, which were tasty and had great pastry covering. The Bengali gulab jamun were sweetly spiced, and good mango lassi. My friend had Kashmiri rogan josh, with the gulab jamun and mango lassi. The rogan josh lamb was tender, and all the spices could be tasted at once; good. Would come again.

The food is great value for money.. and lots of veggies. Perfect balance of taste, cost and portion sizing. Green curry is a must try! Very strong flavours and aromas.

Very enjoyable meal with friends last night. Service was prompt and a great selection. Coconut prawn entree and Masaman beef melt in your mouth were my favourites. Will definitely be back.

Fried rice with seafood was absolutely delicious, and I have tried quite a few Thai fried rices around Brisbane. Will recommend to anyone who is partial to Thai 🙏👍 Only thing that brings the atmosphere down 1 star is the proximity to the road, otherwise perfect dining experience 🤌
