From the team behind Tugun’s eternally adored Caracara Cantina comes a gorgeous new tequila-infused sip spot aptly called Pablito’s Mexican Cuisine and Taquiliaria. Born from an inherent love of tacos and tequila, the northern newcomer has found a home at Sanctuary Cove’s The Marine Village. Offering a slight step up from its southern sibling, Pablito’s is designed to deliver an elevated dining experience that showcases authentic, quality modern-Mexican fare. The menu opens with a selection of small plates, which are perfect for sharing (or not), and includes a Mexican sweetcorn salad with chipotle and lime, oven-roasted jalapenos stuffed with cashew cream and a must-try red snapper ceviche, a dish inspired by Sanctuary Cove’s waterside location and salty sea air. The tacos are served in twos and are available in an array of taste-bud tickling combinations such as roasted cauliflower, corn-crusted chicken thigh, pulled pork and spiced fish. Love a good marg? You’ve come to the right place. Pablito’s features no less than eight different kinds of margaritas to wet your whistle, ranging from classic through to the lavish Millionaire’s Margarita, which contains Fortaleza Reposado tequila, Grand Marnier Cordon Jaune, organic agave syrup and fresh organic lime juice.
