Marina Azul Cocina and Cantina in Everett, WA serves Mexican classics and fusion dishes at the Everett Marina.

Went for lunch at Marina Azul Cocina and Cantina on a Thursday afternoon and got right in at a patio table overlooking the marina. The menu had many excellent choices and specialty drinks. Think of this as an upscale Mexican restaurant with creative twists t the traditional Mexican dishes.

The Prime Steak Fajitas came sizzling hot with your choice of corn or flour tortillas, black beans, Spanish rice and guacamole. The tortillas were very fresh. Large enough to share with leftovers too!

The Baja Fish Tacos were excellent and you can choose tempura or grilled cod. You can also choose from beer braised black beans, refried pinto beans, Spanish rice, cilantro jicama slaw, or chili dusted fries as a side. We got a side of shrimp and they were very flavorful and good size.

The black beans exceeded my expectations and the cilantro jicama slaw was light, fresh and flavorful.

CONS: Our service was not so great. We had the bartender as our server and she just wasn’t available to order in a timely manner or order additional drinks. They also do not serve complimentary tortilla chips and salsa.

Craving those fresh Mexican flavors at home? My Grilled Pacific Rockfish Tacos are a delicious take on Baja-style fish tacos, while the Cilantro Chimichurri Flank Steak brings tender grilled beef and vibrant cilantro flavor to the table. For something fresh and colorful, try my Mexican Grilled Shrimp Bowls layered with rice, grilled corn, tomato-avocado salsa, and cilantro-lime crema.

# About Tamara Hi, I'm Tamara, the creator behind The Salty Owl Co. I believe that some of life's best moments happen around the table—sharing a meal with family, gathering with friends, and savoring the simple pleasures of fresh, thoughtfully prepared food. Through The Salty Owl Co., I share seasonal recipes, coastal-inspired cooking, and stories that celebrate a slower, more intentional way of living. Living in the Pacific Northwest has shaped my love for local ingredients and the connection between farm, sea, and table.

The owl in The Salty Owl Co. holds special meaning for me. For as long as I can remember, a family of owls has lived on our property. Their familiar evening calls echo through the trees each night, bringing a sense of peace and grounding that reminds me to slow down and appreciate the beauty of home. They have become a symbol of the lifestyle I hope to inspire—one rooted in nature, community, and simple joys. Whether you're looking for fresh recipes, entertaining inspiration, seasonal ideas, or a little encouragement to cook more at home, I'm glad you're here. My hope is that The Salty Owl Co. inspires you to gather often, savor every season, and create meaningful moments around your own table. Welcome to The Salty Owl Co.
