Nice laid-back please upstairs with awesome views of the ocean. Competition amongst the restaurants on the wharf must be fierce... because the prices are reasonable and the food quality is good. Chips and salsa served even with drinks. The south size is notvery good. Kind of blend. Read more
We were bars hopping early Saturday morning! ???????? Found this place and the food, drinks and the views were perfect. I love... their ceviches and the best bartender Jamie! Perfect Saturday in Santa Cruz! Read more
We stumbled upon Olitas while walking along the warf. We were able to walk right in and get seated given it was a Tuesday... evening. We sat right along the window and got a view of the evening sunset. Service was quick and the food came out hot! A fewrecommendations from the menu, try the surf and turf quesadilla, full of Carne asada and Maine lobster. A warning when orderingthe 2 combo order - an enchilada and taco was so much food! It also comes with rice and beans. One of the kids menu options wasenchilada and that was also a large portion. All and all, we enjoyed our time at Olitas. Read more

This restaurant has great views and an even greater menu. I started with an Olitas mule and the chips. I am not usually a fan of... blended salsas (I usually like it chunky), I really enjoyed the sweet and warm flavor of their salsa. I could not decide onwhether to order the ceviche or the scallop tamales, so I wound up getting both. I love traditional ceviches, but they canoften be hard to eat because of the intense acidity at many restaurants. Their ceviche was enough to be an entire meal for 2 andwas perfectly balanced in flavor and acidity. The seafood was incredibly fresh (no fishy taste you get from frozen or day-oldfish). I also ordered the scallop and shrimp tamales and I am glad I did. The tamales were pretty large and filled to the brimwith masa, mushrooms and other spices. I couldn't quite make out everything in there, but it was delicious by itself. But itwasn't by itself as it was served with a creamy sauce and perfectly cooked scallops and shrimp. When it was all mixed together Inearly began to cry, overwhelmed by the incredible flavors and the vast ocean view. The seals were extremely active and Ienjoyed watching the birds dive into to the water after the fish and battles against the gulls and seals to be first to themeal. I suppose we all had our fill on seafood that day. Definitely check this place out if only for happy hour to take in theAmazing views. I spent quite a lot ($60), but the meal could have easily been shared by 2 or 3 people. Read more
