“Wow Están muy ricos los panes y los pastelitos también”

“Marvelous food and generous servings. No wait to be seated and quick, polite service. The club sandwich was huge, more like two sandwiches. And it was a treat to have curly fries. My partner had the omelette with carnitas. I wanted that too! Hash browns were perfection.”

“The owner is such a sweet guy, takes a lot of pride in his work and has a good sense of humor. The food was excellent, I had a pork king kong burger and my mom (who is picky) had a beef kong burger with some of the toppings removed. Both were delicious and filling, we also shared some fries which were really delightfully light and crispy. Food came out quickly and was fresh and warm. Literally the best burger in the entire county.”

“The food was fantastic. However, the restaurant was incredibly loud. There was a TV on with the volume up too high, and the kitchen noises echo throughout the entire building. I would recommend the food, but probably just get take out.”

“great tasting food it was a packed little place with people waiting outside to be seated”

“Friendly staff, seriously amazing food, lots of seating. Generally only one dark beer on the menu at a time, which makes me sad since I'm a stout fan, but that one dark is always good.”

“We used Freedom bakery for our wedding cake. Being not from the area we were not sure what to expect, we did two flavors mango coconut and raspberry lemon, by far the best cake I've ever had, and they did it exactly as we wanted. I highly recommend them.”

“The food truck in the parking lot has better food than all the other food trucks on Freedom Blvd. They have hotdogs wrapped in bacon!! Bomb!! Try them its delicious stuff.”

“The authenticity of flavors in the food reminds me of my childhood days back in Mexico's relatives day. I recommend you travel just a bit out of your way to experience it for yourself.”

“Monterey Bay HerbCo has become my go-to for herbs after placing several successful orders. Every package has arrived quickly and right on schedule. The herbs themselves are excellent—fresh, fragrant, high quality, and exactly as described. I also appreciate how carefully everything is packaged; nothing has ever arrived damaged or spilled. Consistent, trustworthy, and great quality every time. A reliable company I’ll definitely keep coming back to.”

“So good. Great atmosphere, yummy food, super polite staff, kid friendly”

“Food is fire🤤🔥🐽”

“Amazing spot for a burrito. My partner and I shared a carnitas burrito, along with some tacos. The burrito was one of the best I've had in a long time, which is saying something.

The tacos were good, but not as mindblowing as the burrito. For sure recommended!”

“Taco truck with a spacious parking lot, tacos are absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend this place, the salsa is absolutely divine, the perfect amount of spices with a wonderful consistency. The tortillas were crisp and the meat was tender and well seasoned, with a light sear. I had cheese added to mine and I'd say they came out perfect. Will definitely be back”

“A while back, I had a single origin Peru batch brewed coffee. It was delicious. Looking forward to the next time I drive through town so I can stop by again.”

“The sausage breakfast sandwich is flavorful and delicious. I also enjoy their blueberry muffins. Their açaí is so good & always made with the freshest fruit.
Employees are nice & staff is friendly.”

“We are locals who come here often. The owner is wonderfully accommodating. We usually order the combination plate for 2 or more people because you get fried rice, soup, egg rolls, and cream cheese wontons. We have also tried the lunch special as well. They usually get a lot of to-go orders. We have ordered a number of things, and all are very good. Their hot and sour soup is very good.”

“This place may technically a fast food place, but it more has the atmosphere and menu of a 50's diner down to 50's and 60's music playing. They have a great kids' menu that has everything from burgers to corn dogs and even grilled cheese for only $8. They have a huge menu,too, including a veggie burger!”

“Salt of the Earth brewery that’s easy to miss if you aren’t paying attention while driving the beautiful outskirts of Watsonville. Located in a large wooden barn next to a lumber company, Corralitos Brewing has a small town feel, where locals come after clocking out from work and enjoying tasty beer while watching the sunset and breathing clean air. The outdoor patio area is reminiscent of a saloon, while the indoor avoids the cliched Industrial interiors of many breweries today, instead relying on the log cabin / barn motif with wooden decor and small town charm.The staff is friendly, conversational, and attentive. The restrooms are clean. There’s the obligatory swag and to go beer for sale. They even offer crowler fills, but I would suggest asking for pricing before simply ordering a large can for home. I ordered two and it cost me $50 with a reasonable tip. That’s the only negative I can really complain about, but I have to take responsibility for it because I didn’t inquire whatsoever.Parking is limited, but when the lot is full, the overflow simply park on the on the shoulder of the adjacent field.Some would say Corralitos Brewing Company is off the beaten path, and they would be correct. It’s not right off the highway or in a shopping center downtown. But it’s worth the extra ten minutes and the countryside is a nice reprieve from downtown Watsonville.”

“I hired El Rey Del Taco Catering for my daughter’s sweet sixteen party last night and they did NOT disappoint! The food was amazing. Great service. Everything made fresh. My guests left full and with happy tummies. Will hire again in the future and would absolutely recommend!”

“A beloved tradition, and a local classic. Experience perfection in the form of apple cider. Great location and friendly staff makes for a great place to chill and relax with friends.”

“Stopped by for a burrito yesterday and I’m still thinking about it today. It was so hot, the carne asada, rice, beans, lettuce and avocado was so fresh! I definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back!”

“Pros: The carnitas were tasty and tender. One dozen tortillas were served hot. Salsa is spicy.

Cons: no place for sit down dining. It's all take away. The interior is drab and desolate looking but the food is very good.”

“Chorizo Tacos were delicious $3 each. Such a steal! Love them.”

“Catz Pawz has been around for a very long time. Small place across the Watsonville High School on the corner of Beach St and Lincoln St. As a high school student I was a frequent customer it's almost like In n Out and you get personal friendly service and you can see up close and personal as they handle your food. If your hungry, crave a double cheese burger with fries, a drink and even a chimichanga all for 8 dollars, Catz Pawz is a must visit. They are open during regular School Hours. A visit here will be one of the best choices you will make. From the sauce they make, to the delicious fries to the friendly service, Catz Pawz is a must stop. You will Enjoy it.”

“Great atmosphere, super cozy and family friendly. The staff always greets you with a smile and treats you like family. Best place to enjoy an afternoon beer specially when they have live music witch is usually Fri/Sat. Highly recommended their Hazys or ask for their blend of the week”

“I live in Pennsylvania and brought home 4 loaves of your sourdough when we visited family in Monterey this month. I have two left...does anyone ship your bread??😁”

“They have a country atmosphere, the food is good but not as good as the real Mexican one, the rice lacks flavor, they could improve.
The staff there is quite friendly, it is worth eating there.”

“Love Patty's Red Tacos 🌮! Their tacos and nachos are the best!”

“I love their warm bread in the mornings! They are always so nice and sweet, and greet everyone very well. I especially love how they have a wide variety of different Mexican breads! I definitely recommend coming here!!!!!”

“OMG! Went here cause I love to try little hole in the wall places and support small business's. Soooooo freakin good! Restaurant was very small and quaint. Waitress's were so kind and helpful. Food was inexpensive and big portions. Tasty, tasty, yummy, yummy!!! Got the Chile Relleno, enchiladas, tacos. LOVED the juice/sauce for the Chile Rellenos!!”

“Absolutely phenomenal everything here. We got a pastor burrito, and a couple tacos, and everything was unreal good. The only thing I wish was that they had carnitas, which felt unusual to not have. Will definitely be back!”

“simplemente el mejor pan y fresco 🤤”

“Super sweet lady but Went for a chonchita ice cream & they did not have those . Very small on the inside but if you’re walking by wouldn’t hurt to stop in.”

“Really affordable and super quick! There is very few choices on the menu and that’s a good thing order your hotdog and go. The dogs are really tasty and so the chili spend less than five bucks for a meal can’t find that many places.

Vegetarian options: Not many options for vegetarians”

“Great food with good experiance”

“ice cream so good 😋 😋 yummy”

“The absolutely most delicious bread you will ever eat in the 831!
The founder has marvelous talent with the recipes he has developed.
Family run business. They mostly do wholesale accounts but if you ever get your hands on some of this bread you will be sure to want more!!!
Vegan friendly brioche and everything else. Outstanding service from everyone. Love this place.”

“They have the best burritos. I stopped by in the morning for a breakfast burrito: eggs, papas and bacon. Came back at lunch for a carne asada burrito. I really enjoyed my conversation with the owners. This place is a gem.”

“We order many pizza's every year for our daughter's birthday parties we have at the park down the street. This place is amazing and the service is always awesome! I also enjoy supporting a local business!”

“Ordered two large hot pastrami sandwiches to go. I asked the server is she could double wrap everything because I was traveling by airplane the next day and would hand carry these sandwiches home. This wonderful lady took great care to pack everything securely for me and with a smile! Thank you for your kindness and attention to my request.”

“Ohmygod, I love chilaquiles, I can eat chilaquiles every day but the ones here are very delicious and green, the better, I recommend them, the food is really really good. ?”

“In Watsonville, there's no shortage of Mexican stores and restaurants and because this reason I can be more selective. Whenever I'm in town and I want a quick beverage and bite, I'll make a pit stop here. The employees are nice and very helpful, and understand/ speak English. One my favorite items on the menu is the Quesadilla de Cameron or Shrimp Quesadilla.”

“The food here is the best! It is authentic and delicious. Mari, the owner's mom makes us feel right at home. It's like going to your momma's house. We drove from San José to have lunch there yesterday, after a wonderful experience two weeks ago. Gloria Chacón”

“I have passed by this place forever and finally stopped here yesterday after a day at nearby Sunset State Beach.

I am kicking myself for not visiting this place sooner but I will make it a point to stop here for quick eats in the future.

No. 1: it has a drive-thru! After soaking in the sun and waves, and getting in our steps, we just wanted a place with a drive-thru. To get to their drive-thru and parking lot, it's best to enter from westbound Hwy 129.

No. 2: their menu was easy to read and everything looked delish but we settled on two chicken tacos and 1 super burrito with chicken but no sour cream.

No. 3: THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! I swear my vision cleared with each bite! Perfectly seasoned, tender, juicey, savory chicken with finely chopped onions and pickled carrots on my tacos. Munchkin ate possibly the biggest super burrito he has ever had, filled with chicken, rice, beans... more. He ate it so fast, I didn't get to see much of his burrito's innards. I guess I should have taken a bite when he offered because he sucked it down like a water moccasin!

I definitely wish I ordered a couple more tacos. But it was enough to get us home without the empty stomach shakes.

No. 4: I told munchkin that the next time we want tacos and burritos, I will gladly make the drive just for this place. It is THAT GOOD!

This place is THE mic drop on fast Mexican food! Hands down!!!

(Sorry, no pictures this time because we were so hungry.)”

“I just moved to area so this was my first visit to Pandaderia Tres Hermanos 2, the service was friendly and the pan dolce delicious. I was late for tamales, they sell out early, so I'll try again.”

“Located in the Mount Madonna Center, Anjaneya Café offers a relaxing spot to enjoy tea, coffee, samosas, and other snacks. Surrounded by picturesque views, it’s a great place to unwind and soak in the peaceful ambiance. Perfect for a quick bite or a warm drink in a serene setting.”

“Me encanta el pan muy bueno todo pero en especial las gorditas de nata”

“I'm not a pizza guy, but once in a while, I will get me a slice. Pizza was really good, not oily, just right. I bought 2 slices, ate them inside my truck, I will definitely be coming back to Hugo's”

“su atención al cliente y su rapidez para servir”

“Place doesn’t look like much, but the food? Off the chain. Granted, we arrived right after opening with the scent of Fabuloso lingering in the air. Did I mention the food was fantastic? They have a small stage in the back, presumably for bands or karaoke. Only negative I saw were the high chairs. They looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in awhile. But hey, the food was BOMB. And hey, $1.50 tacos on Tuesday.”

“I don't know where to start. This was our first time ordering from HK2. So good. Great value. Quality meats and not at all greasy. We ordered the sweet sour pork and beef broccoli combo plates for delivery. Each was enough for 2-3 dinners, they stuffed so much food in the box. We were very satisfied and definitely will use them again. Someone mentioned on here the food was bland. This was somewhat true, but just enough great flavor for my taste. Next time I'll add a bit of soy sauce maybe. If you have children or elderly too, they will probably really like this.
We always used to use Chinese Village in Capitola until they close down. This will be our go-to Chinese Restaurant.”

“lo mejor de lo mejor lo que quieras comer delicioso”

“tacos de las carnes de mejor calidad”

“This is by far my favorite place to get food. I usually get the char meal or the sourdough sandwich. The shakes here have to be one of the best I've ever tasted, their fries are delicious and consistent the burgers are phenomenal and I don't even get food anywhere else anymore this place is just that good.”

“Me encanta el café ☕️ ya sea caliente o helado”

“I love the soup. Such a healthy meal for my kids and I. Good price too! This is homemade soul food Mexican style at its finest :) I always go here when I'm in Watsonville”

“Los mejores nachos en mi vida los e comido en la Patrona en Ponce!!!! Mucho exito en su negocio!!!”

“Everything is Delicious .. especially when you have Special Deals 🥰🍦Thank You”

“I don’t like there service.”

“Been hitting this spot for decades! Awesome food, my go to on most visits is Camarones a la Vallarta. Tortilla de maiz.hechos a Mano..
Man you put some of those beans on the tortilla, drop like 3 of those bacon wrapped shrimp on top, put lemon all over, smother with the red salsa, put some of that red salsa and lemon on the lil salad they give you and go to town! Rinse, repeat.
If I have had a few too many cerveza might before, I go get the 7 mares y una Corona Bien helada. That will cure what ale's ya!”

“No frill taco fast food
But the taste just wow
Ordered al pastor taco super flavorful and juicy
The other is flautas? Fried taco
Super yummy with white , guacamole and green salsa
The pic don't do justice though.....”

“My fiancé and I are not from Salina’s but the young women who helped us made our experience so good. Food was literally the freshest we have ever had it and the customer service was awesome. Angie was great. Thank you so much”

“Out of town met looking for dinner and based on google reviews we stopped here. The girl who took our order/server was very nice and even asked the kitchen for a meat not listed on the menu, which they had. Our food came hot and not long after we ordered. I got two quesabirrea tacos and I liked how they were filled with meat and not too much cheese, usually it’s the opposite. They were flavorful and came with enough consume. I was also able to add onion and cilantro and salsa from the salsa bar. My husband ordered two tacos de lengua and two de pastor. He said lengua itself didn’t have too much flavor but with salsa and sides it brought it together. Our only disappointment was they ran out of Mexican cokes. But overall we had a good experience. I recommend if your in the area to try this place out!”

“We love KFC for us it's the best Chicken there is� this is the only location we come to, because of there friendly service☺ as we walk in we are greeted with friendly employees makes us feel very welcome�”

“Love this place! And the bagel dog is my favorite with a lot a mustard❤️”

“Absolutely delicious, generous portions, and excellent service. We enjoyed our lunch out on the patio.I have been to the Aptos location once and Watsonville twice. I had the Caprese Panino (Sorry, I speak Italian and cannot call one sandwich by the plural, “Panini”), Chicken mushroom crêpe, and a chicken pesto crêpe. Today my friends and I ventured onto the desert menu and shared a strawberry banana Nutella crêpe. There was so much fresh fruit and creamy Nutella , I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I’m stuffed and happy and will be back soon with more friends and family. Thank you, Mr. Z’s!!”
