Big news from Arturo’s Hawaii at the Navy-Marine Golf Course: Arturo’s Cantina opens upstairs in February 2027. It’s the sit-down side of Arturo’s — the full menu, the full bar, and the from-scratch cooking of Chef Marino Sánchez.
What the Cantina will be
The Cantina is where the full menu lives: slow-braised birria with consomé, al pastor carved from the trompo with grilled pineapple, Michoacán-style carnitas, mole, Del Mar seafood, pozole and more. Every tortilla is pressed from masa we make in-house, the way Chef Marino learned it growing up.
Alongside it, a full bar with classic and signature margaritas — see the Cocktails page for the list.
Want a preview?
You can read the whole opening menu now on our Cantina Menu page, and browse the drinks on the Cocktails page. The Cantina menu is for February, so those dishes aren’t being served yet.
Training with a chef from Mexico
Chef Moreno has arrived from Mexico and is here with us now. From November 1 to 17, our team is training with him to perfect our recipes, well ahead of opening day.
Along the way we’re tasting dishes from the Cantina menu as they come together, including Pescado a la Veracruzana — fish in a tomato sauce with green olives, capers, onion and peppers — and our Baja-style fish tacos, fried light and crisp in tempura. Both are made with Kona Kampachi (Hawaiian yellowtail). They’re a sneak peek and aren’t on the menu yet; the full Cantina menu arrives when we open in February.
What’s open today
The Arturo’s Snack Shop is open every day, 8 AM–5 PM, with wraps, breakfast, hot dogs, musubi, beer buckets and more. Real Mexican tacos joined the lineup on November 9, served 10 AM–4 PM; read about the tacos here.
Stay in the loop
We’ll announce the exact Cantina opening date as we get closer. Follow along on our blog, and find us any day at the Navy-Marine Golf Course, 943 Valkenburgh St, near Pearl Harbor. Directions and hours are on the Location page.
