Welcome to Margaritaville Capitola! Our restaurant has been welcoming guests to Capitola for over 30 years. In January 2015 the original owners sold the business to Sunset Hospitality Group, a Santa Cruz family owned and operated company. We completed a full remodel of the restaurant, reinvented the food and service and opened May 7, 2015.
The new Margaritaville is dedicated to serving made from scratch Mexican seafood in a first class casual environment. Our dog-friendly heated patio is a great place to enjoy Baja fish tacos and Crispy Calamari. In addition we take pride in serving a variety of handcrafted margaritas made with fresh juice and local produce.
Sunset Hospitality is grateful for the support of Capitola and looks forward to serving the community and visitors for years to come.

    This place IS NOT the Jimmy Buffet branded chain restaurant. The menu is primarilty mexican and seafood dishes with a good selection of margaritas (of course) and other cocktails. The margaritas were tasty, but not very strong - recommend the Italian or Ultimate over the house style. Try to make a reservation and sit on the balcony with a view of the ocean and the waves in the background, the environment is lovely.
