About Us

Ibiza is Downtown Santa Cruz's newest fast-fine casual lunch and afternoon gathering spot. We are open 11 am to 5 pm every day but Monday. Bring your friends, your kids, your pups. We invite you to stay a while and soak in Ibiza's Mediterranean beach vacation vibes.

We have something for everyone -- wraps on homemade flatbread, healthy salads, salty shawarma-spiced fries and playful "deliciously messy" dishes to eat with your hands. We also offer creamy soft serve (both dairy and plant-based) and crispy churros to indulge your inner child.

Our gingery chai, matcha lattes, Verve coffee and fresh-pressed juicy drinks will give you that much needed midday pick-me-up. When it's time to unwind, dive into our list of fun cocktails, natural wine and ice cold beer.

Ibiza is a mom-and-pop operation, brought to you by the husband-and-wife team behind Barceloneta and the Michelin-rated Contigo in San Francisco. Ibiza is inspired by the hippie and laid back beach vibes of its namesake island (and of Santa Cruz, our home for the past decade). Our new restaurant's food draws more from north Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean and Levant than our previous restaurants did.* At Ibiza, we are cooking the food we love to eat every day. We're cooking from our hearts and making everything from scratch. We hope you love Ibiza as much as we do.
