You'll find the standard gamut of
caravan park delights behind the dunes in Brownlow, 3km southwest of Kingscote. You

Yellow Ash 'n' Chili
MEXICAN $$$
(59 Dauncy St, Kingscote; mains $16-22; 10am-3pm & 6-8pm Tue-Sat, 10am-3pm Sun)
Making
a chilli-coloured splash on the KI foodie scene, this casual, brightly painted bungalow on
Kingscote's main drag is run by a Californian who knows a thing or two about Mexican
food. Expect simple but delicious tostadas, quesadillas, enchiladas etc, made with home-
grown tomatoes and chillis and organic flour. Love the 'Day of the Dead' mural.
