" This place used to be one of my favorites, but my last visit left me a bit disappointed. The fish tacos lacked the freshness they used to have, and the service felt rushed. However, the drinks were still fantastic and the atmosphere at sunset is beautiful. Hopefully, they'll return to their former glory! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Margaritaville was thoroughly enjoyable. The outdoor setup is charming, and we loved how dog-friendly they are! Service was great, and my nachos were delicious. Although, the drink prices were a bit on the high side. Overall, a great spot for casual dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" An overall pleasant experience! The views and atmosphere at Margaritaville are top-notch, but the food was just okay. I ordered the veggie burrito and it fell a bit flat. Service was good, and I wouldn't mind trying it again just to see if I get a better dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Capitola, Margaritaville is a must-visit. We had a fantastic family dinner here. The kids loved the nachos, and my partner adored the fish tacos. The service was quick, and our server was attentive to our needs. I loved the vibrant atmosphere and ocean view! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Margaritaville was enjoyable overall. I have to say, the location is perfect for people-watching while enjoying lunch. The food was good but not exceptionally memorable. I had the fried avocado tacos; they were nice but could use a little more flavor. A good place nonetheless. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed a lovely evening at Margaritaville. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. I had the shrimp tacos, which were decent but lacked a bit of seasoning. The drinks were refreshing, but the portion sizes were smaller than expected for the prices. Still, I would visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Margaritaville is simply delightful! The beach view is stunning and adds to the whole experience. The staff was attentive and friendly. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp tacos and the classic margarita. Someday, I'd love to go back and try everything else on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
