The cantina is connected to Grangers, the restaurant by the marina. What's different is the food they serve.There were quite a few options to choose from, tacos, burritos, nachos etc, but we ended up sharing a para dos and nachos between three people. The Para Dos came with chips, two tacos, ceviche, quesadilla and churros for $50. The chips were quite nice and the salsa having nice spice to it. The ceviche was ok and served with tortilla chips. Their tacos were nice, I liked the black pan beef one since you could get the smokiness of the BBQd beef as well as the heat from the jalapenos. I was surprised at the chorizo quesadilla since it was minced meat but it did have nice flavour. The churros were a bit disappointing though, crispy but not much flavour.The Para Dos was quite good value and was quite a lot of food.Friendly service and nice decor.

Always a happy time! Why hate yourself eating at a chain taco place, when you can get awesome well priced Mexican style food with the best views in Auckland!It's well run, as evidenced by the friendly, attentive staff and consistently good food. Easy recommend.

Best nachos ever, best Gucomole-would recommend Jalepenos on the side.

Very poor quality of food and drinks. And understaffed the day I went. The popcorn chicken is probably sub-par with KFC popcorn chicken, my children wouldn’t even eat it, and the cocktails were just not it for the price you’re paying you would expect so much better.

Firstly amazing food and really good portion sizes for price, cocktails were sooo good especially the black Doris magareta... What let this place down is service, the 3 waitresses (young) were more interested in talking with each other/kitchen staff then checking on the two tables in at the start of the night. I had to wave the empty water bottles for a good 2 minutes before I caught their eye...I would have had more than one drink if the waitresses checked in after food was delivered. Would suggest putting on someone more mature to develop/lead the team. Otherwise food and drink is very good if you don't mind average service.

Despite having issues with our booking, it helps to know that their is a closing time for lunch that we were not made aware of, however, they managed to make things work on our behalf having guests travelling up from Wellington, there was no chance we were going to miss this opportunity.We arrived and everything was organized. The drinks are amazing and so was our meals. The atmosphere and ambiance of this ace was amazing and relaxing, out looking the beach. Really good for the summer time vibes.We were satisfied with our booking and money well spent.

Kaira is such a gem!! we were treated so horrible from the restaurant next door and we then decided to brunch at marina cantina and she was so welcoming and accommodating to us! She offered us drinks on the house all bc she saw how ugly we were treated from the restaurant next door. Thank you Kaira!!! You made our day extra special xxxx

Lovely staff and the burger was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend their house beer and red wine sangria. Great value for money and definitely worth coming to your ferry early so you can stop here.
