Margarita Cartel

The Verdict

The benefits of tequila are bountiful. While you might not hear health gurus gunning for tequila like they do kale and kefir, the Mexican fave aids digestion, has probiotic components, and allows you to dance on a table without a care in the world—making the margarita the ideal Friday night cocktail.

Which is why you’ll want to know about Burleigh Head's new Mexican offering, Margarita Cartel. This unabashedly bright and little bit cliché eatery is peppered with colourful chairs, mini cactus and Mexican tapestry, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Expect modern Mexican street food with a South American twist, quality tequila and plenty of flowing margaritas, obviously.
