The Eagles are not saying 'colitas'. They are saying "Goleta's" - a town on the Southern California coast "The warm smell of Goleta's rising in the air".
Don't believe everything you read on lyrics websites.
per wikipedia: Goleta ( /ɡəˈliːtə/; Spanish: ɡoˈleta, "schooner") is a city in southern Santa Barbara County, California, USA. It was incorporated as a city in 2002, after a long period as the largest unincorporated, populated area in the county. As of the 2000 census, the Census-designated place (CDP) had a total population of 55,204, however, a significant portion of the census territory of 2000 did not incorporate into the new city. The population was 29,888 at the 2010 census.
It is known for being near the University of California, Santa Barbara campus, although the CDP of Isla Vista is closer.

Get the colitas mug.As per the "Hotel California" lyrics: “On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair/Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air...."
Here's some more background into the term "colitas" (quelites).
My partner and I came about this kind of a backwards way. I was studying plants prized by local curanderas (female folk healers) of the Northern New Mexico/San Luis Valley area of Colorado, and came upon "quelites," pronounced "Keh-LEE-tehs." The term specifically refers to a local weed that grows prolifically, colloquially known as "lambsquarters." Further research found quelites is a Mexican/American term for any wild green. We've also seen it as a Spanish translation on a bag of spinach from the grocery store. My partner remarked one day, "I know where I've heard that term before," and sang off the first two lines of the Hotel California song, thus the connection. Quelites and colitas are phonetically identical. The term is used in different geographic regions to refer to specific plants that grow locally, but, much like common names in English, can mean quite different species of plants.

Get the colitas mug.A bloody shit disease....quite literally. People who suffer from this non-infectious disease usually end up spending lots of time wrapped around the loo with bloody diarrhoea during flare ups. Caused by person's immune system attacking large intestines lining causing inflammation and ulcers, loss of appetite and generally feeling like utter crap. Medication can usually help to control it though some have awful side effects such as moon face
Stuart: "hey why did that hot chick run off to the loo so quickly?"
Bob: "Ahhh she's got the ulcerative colitis shits, she's going to be a while..."

Get the Clitastrophe mug.How was your date with Brian?
It was fine until we got back to my place. He couldn't keep it up. The cat tried to bite his dick. So I just blew him, so it would all be over. It was a coitastrophe.
