The Prickly Pinata describes itself as a Mexican cantina with a twist. The second you step into this restaurant you’ll feel like you’ve teleported to Mexico City with its brightly coloured walls and quirky décor. Order yourself a chipotle pineapple margarita – a twist on the original cocktail served with chargrilled chilli-marinated pineapple – and browse over the extensive menu of flavoursome foods. You can always stick to your traditional dishes such as guacamole and chips, but we recommend you challenge yourself and try some of their unique dishes on offer. For a starter, order the zesty vegtal taza which is a vegetable mix served with tequila drunk onions, citrus mayo and guacamole on a lettuce leaf. For a main meal, choose a taco or the spicy diabla chicken wings if you want to test your tastebuds. You’ll absolutely love anything you order off this menu, so we only ask that you don’t leave without trying the chocolate crepe or churros for dessert to complete the full experience. If you can’t make it down to celebrate Cinco de Mayo during the week, visit on Sunday and enjoy the live music while munching on the fresh cuisine.
Where: 3/25-27 The Esplanade, Maroochydore QLD 4558
