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.

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!
