A new fiesta is kicking off in Bondi.
Calling all lovers of lively atmospheres, refreshing margaritas, and delicious Mexican fare! Nestled in the heart of Bondi Beach, La Cantina is your new go-to for a taste of Mexico, right by the waves.
Taking over the former Madame Chu’s space on Campbell Parade, La Cantina injects a vibrant energy into Bondi’s nightlife. As the only small bar licensed venue in the eastern suburbs, it’s the perfect spot for pre-dinner drinks or a casual night out with friends.
Step inside and leave the everyday behind. The colourful décor pops with energy, warm lighting sets the mood, and the buzz of conversation mingles with the sounds of sizzling fajitas. Whether you’re catching up with friends over pre-dinner drinks or seeking a lively night out, La Cantina’s infectious energy promises an unforgettable experience.
Sure, they have margaritas – and a fantastic selection at that, from classic to innovative concoctions like the smoky “Griselda Paloma” and the heated “Spicy Pineapple Tommy’s.” But La Cantina is about so much more than just tequila and lime. Their menu is a love letter to authentic Mexican cuisine, bursting with fresh, flavourful ingredients.
Dive into creamy guacamole, perfect for scooping up with warm chips, or delight in the vibrant freshness of ceviche made with the day’s catch. Craving something slow-cooked and comforting? The barbacoa will melt in your mouth, while the chipotle cauliflower is a delicious vegetarian option.
But the star of the show is undoubtedly the pork ribs. A family recipe passed down through generations, these beauties are slow-cooked to tender perfection, practically falling off the bone. For a lighter option, the gluten-free Tostadas come in a variety of tempting choices, like succulent beef brisket, flavourful pulled pork, or crispy prawns.
La Cantina doesn’t stop at delicious food and drinks. They keep the party going with weekly specials that cater to everyone. From “Margys’ Monday” with $15 coconut margaritas to “Taco Thursday” featuring $5 tacos, there’s always a reason to celebrate. Locals get a special treat on Wednesdays with a 25% discount, and the weekend “Bottomless Margarita Fiesta” offers two hours of unlimited margaritas and delectable bites – perfect for a fun-filled gathering with friends.
With its vibrant atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food and drinks, La Cantina is poised to become a Bondi Beach favourite. So, next time you’re craving a taste of Mexico, head down to Campbell Parade and experience the fiesta for yourself.
