Marina Azul Cocina & Cantina officially opened at the Port of Everett’s Waterfront Place on June 25, 2026, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by 50 people. The family-owned restaurant group, which has three existing locations in Woodinville, Redmond, and Kent, is managed at the new Everett location by owner Julian Ramos’s nephew Alejandro and son Esteban. Ramos, who has been in the restaurant business since 2002, said the Everett location is part of their expansion to bring 'fresh Mexican flavor' to Restaurant Row. The restaurant offers authentic Mexican cuisine, including handmade tacos, Birria Ramen Bowl, and Roast Fresh Corn Ribs, as well as gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. It features a covered patio with waterfront views and is the latest addition to the Port of Everett’s Waterfront Place development, which includes other eateries like Menchie’s, Tapped at the Port, and South Fork Baking Company.
