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.

We named our restaurant Mozaic because we wanted to capture the diversity of flavors and culmination of authentic Mediterranean dishes that we offer. We bring together the best of Mediterranean recipes from Greece, Lebanon, Turkey and Sicily, emphasizing Middle Eastern influence. Our menu is hand-crafted after years of experience in the restaurant business knowing what people like. We make every dish completely authentic, utilizing 100 years old techniques that have been passed down through generations to bring you incredible flavor. COME AND TASTE THE DIFFERENCE We seek only the best, local ingredients. We use high-quality meats, like our Australian lamb tenderloin and select only sustainable seafood.

The owners of the Back Nine were equally inspired by the rich history of local cuisine and food preparation dating back to Rancho Carbonero. In Spanish, Carbonero is a place where charcoal is burned, much like an American BBQ. Our expansive fresh grill menu hopefully creates a pleasurable time for each of our Back Nine guests, as they view part of the famed course's front nine.

    It was very busy and our waiter, David was running all over the place! He was excellent and took his time with each one in our party. The place was packed, so I highly recommend getting reservations. The food was fantastic and we added dessert at the end of the meal and it was AMAZING! I had the mushroom risotto with a peach cobbler crumble - and WOW! The kids ordered burgers and BLTAs and they inhaled them! Even though it was busy- it wasn’t overwhelming. The food was fantastic- David was amazing and we enjoyed everything at Back Nine!

    Service was great! We had views of Santa Cruz wharf and at a distance was the boardwalk. The burger and garden scramble with bacon were really good. Great way to start the day by the beach!

    From the very beginning, we felt welcomed. The proprietor dropped by our table twice to chat and to make sure we weren’t lacking for anything. We shared the generous and tasty mezze platter and then calamari and salad. On prior visits, we have enjoyed their burgers, and wish they would put the lamb burger on regular rotation. It looked like a good place to go as a solo diner to catch a game at the bar This resto has earned a place in our regular rotation.
