About Murray Piha

Murray Piha is a seasonal food truck on Marine Parade South, Piha, with a 4.3-star rating from 209 reviews. It serves Mexican-inspired tacos, fish and chips, Daily Bread pastries, and excellent coffee from Labour Weekend to Anzac weekend.

Murray is the cultural anchor of a Piha summer—a food truck with no pretension and proper hospitality. The menu pairs Mexican-inspired pork and fish tacos with fish and chips, honouring Piha's beach-chip tradition, while Daily Bread pastries and excellent coffee complete the offering. The experience is about lingering: ordering, waiting in queue, talking to people, eating, staying. Regulars greet owners with long hugs, understanding that visiting Piha in summer means visiting Murray—the queue is part of the ritual. What makes it authentic is that the family aren't seasonal transplants, but next-generation locals keeping their late father's legacy alive.

Murray delivers that combination of great food and genuine community on Marine Parade.
