Bar tenders are great people 🫡🤙🏼
Excellent Mexican food with large portions and low prices on the Santa Cruz Wharf, CA with great Ocean Views and plenty of parking. Highly recommend this place.

Good was amazing and the staff was friendly and helpful! I was there with a party so we were given the buffet. The view was beautiful and the room for the party was easily accessible and created a great atmosphere. Parking was tight on the warf, but we knew in advance so we could give ourselves about 15 extra minutes to find parking and then walk to the restaurant. The walk was lovely as well as there were many things to look at including the beach.

Olitas Cantina & Grille is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The restaurant serves delicious dishes, including the chipotle Caesar salad with carne asada, which one reviewer claims is the best salad they've ever had. The salsa is also a highlight, and the taco Tuesday and Thursday deals are a great value. The restaurant has a bright and airy atmosphere, with beautiful views of the surrounding ocean. Service is friendly, and the drinks are often enjoyed by guests, with some noting they are fairly priced. The atmosphere can be lively, and soft music can help offset the noise from chatting. Guests have also appreciated the quality of the nachos and the overall experience, despite some comments about cleanliness issues in the bathroom and soggy food at times. Overall, Olitas offers a fresh and delicious dining experience with high-quality food and friendly staff, making it a popular choice for a meal with a view.
