So Big El’s X The WKND Perth is all about Latin American fusion, but what exactly does that mean? Well, we’re talking tapas and dishes inspired by Colombia, Chile, El Salvador and Peru as well as Mexican tacos, hot dogs and a Tex-Mex-style burger that’s packed with flavour. Just as Latin America is varied and colourful, so is the Big El’s X The WKND menu. This also extends to the drinks list. Designed with just as much inspiration as the food menu, you’ll find options in this Perth CBD spot like the Patron tasting platter for tequila aficionados, sangria with a twist known as The Temple of Doom and The Heisenberg, described as a bag of ice, blue of course.

Being foodies, Big El’s X The WKND is a Latin American treat for us. We recommend starting with a selection of tapas like the Peruvian ceviche made with sashimi grade salmon pickled in herbs, chilli and citrus; Patron tequila prawns served with crispy tostadas and the Argentine steak served with three dipping sauces. Then, sample the chipotle glazed baby back ribs; Venezuelan pabellón criollo stew or order a few rounds of soft shell tacos. Big El’s X The WKND is becoming a Perth institution, so do yourself a favour and head to Yagan Square as quick as you can.
