The Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf plays host to many favorite local events throughout the year. Olitas is a popular place to watch any of these wharf activities. Our second-story location is the perfect place to view any event on the wharf stage. Whether it is the Polynesian dancers at the Aloha Outrigger Festival, a local jazz band at the Art, Wine & Jazz Festival, or a costume contest on Halloween, Olitas is the place to be. From both the dining room and bar area of Olitas, you can hear the music of the Jazz Festival, see the outrigger races in the water, and window-shop at the various local merchant booths, all while enjoying fine Mexican cuisine and one of our specialty margaritas.
