Why Travelers Love La Marina
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Great little spot right along the marina, had the nachos with beef, they were delicious and reasonably priced. The place was packed due to an Oilers game (Go Oilers) .. surprisingly was able to find a table. Seem to be a great crowd, mostly expats due to the hockey game I believe. Service was quick, super friendly, would highly recommend due to the great atmosphere. The marina area was full of people, due to the market being present that night. The marina market every Thursday is a fun walk to support local businesses. From jewelry to food, to arts and crafts, it's a long market with lots of variety. Great for an evening out and the walking helps burn some calories. Drawbacks very few washrooms, make sure you have enough cash, some stands do take credit. Right on the water and an easy walk from the waterfront market. Traditional mexican dishes at reasonable prices and very good quality. I highly recommend the seafood dishes as our group of seven all enjoyed them. Service was attentive and our bill for less than $120 was very reasonable for a group our size.

Excellent food and generous drinks. The Mudslide is the perfect desert drink. Was not able to access Wifi, but other than that, will definitely go back when I visit PV again.

If you want to stay wharf side and don't mind paying a bit more for the convenience then this is a good spot. We only had appetizers but they were very good and quite sizeable portions. The guacamole made at the table was to die for, as was the shrimp and avocado appetizer. Do not get the grande size cocktail unless you plan on staggering home! Enjoy!
