We are Neighbourhood Cantina. Where Highway 35 meets Wainui Beach, JUST down the road from stockroute. we're serving up tacos that are Mexican-inspired but gizzy-flavoured. Forget those fancy joints—this is a 100% pure Gizzy innovation. Our seafood? So local, the fish practically walked themselves onto the grill. Our beer? It's brewed closer than your cousin's bach.

Horizontal decorative border with alternating orange and beige square patterns and a central icon of two stylized leaves.

Every ingredient tells a story. Hand-crafted, locally made La Tortillas that are made just down Wainui road… Seafood (GOURMET fish & Chips) comes from the same waters surfers ride, our vegetables are from farms nestled in the East Coast's fertile landscapes, and the beersies are from breweries that understand the rhythm of local life.
