TUESDAY NIGHT TACO' S at SCOUNDREL

Hi everyone,

Join us for an easy midweek dinner and enjoy Scoundrel's famous soft tortilla tacos , bursting with flavour, fresh, vibrantly-coloured ingredients, and virtually impossible to consume in moderation. If you're so bonkers that tacos don't float your boat, there's a heap more deliciousness on the menu to keep you happy as Larry.

Plus, I’ll be sharing exclusive details about the Ultimate South America Trip happening in May next year. If you're curious about this exciting adventure, or just looking for a fun night out, I’d love to see you there!

ABOUT THE VENUE:
Scoundrel is what happens when a group of mates, hospo veterans with an obsessive enthusiasm for what they do, sit around a box of beers and fantasise about what their dream spot would be like. Turns out it's a converted warehouse with a 1950s Austin truck parked in the middle, dripping with greenery and strewn with comfy couches, dog bowls and featuring a window into our roastery so you can watch the magic happen.
​
Bring your appetite and your questions about South America! Can't wait to see you there. 🌟

Our table is booked under Janine Thompson for 6.00pm.
REMEMBER to change your attendance if you can no longer make it.

Kind regards
Janine
