Restaurants in Watsonville

“Real authentic wood fired pizza. It's all about a good crust with pizza and Ozzys nailed it. It's definitely an elevated pizza spot that's a little more refined. We got some pizza and a salad and both were excellent. Staff was attentive and service was good. Prices are decent considering you get a high end product. Support this new local spot!”

“Dinner, including soup, salad, and sushi, was delicious.”

“Don't go if you're in a hurry or hungry. We waiting for a long time to even have someone get our drink order. The food was good but the appetizer was cold. Once we got the food, no one came to see if we needed anything until we finished our food, and we ate slow. And to get the check.... another long wait because the machine on the table wasn't working.”

Always enjoy their pizza freshly made in the store more than take out. Crust is soft. Pizza is also not too salty. Toppings fresh. Staff is great. Good customer service. Good people.”

“Amazing coffee & staff!!! When I am in town this is my go-to spot. I wish I lived closer but maybe it’s better I didn’t because I would go everyday? Love the atmosphere & area. They always have specialty drinks which are amazing!”

Our table has fish and shrimp tacos, vegan tostada, and vegan al pastor tacos. All were incredible. Shocked and amazed to find a vegan section on the menu and it was fantastic. Agua fresco was incredible as well. After writing this review I'm ready to return. Oh! And homemade tortillas! Come on!

Vegetarian options: Several vegan options including al pastor, cerviche, and soyrizo.”

“Flavorful authentic delicious mexican food and the vibe is great. Great waitresses.”

“Total Score: 8.55

Bathroom: 4.75/5
Very clean and tidy. Also was occupied by the California map.

Customer
Super friendly and had friendly conversations. Also even gave me a free sample of the hollandaise sauce. Refilled waters without asking too.


Cadillacs and baby photos. Lots to look at and gives Route 66 vibes

Food: 4.5/5
Food was awesome! Hash browns was of perfect crispness. Furthermore, the eggs Benedict’s was delicious. One complaint was ham was a bit out of texture and the eggs were not as runny.

Wow: 0.5/1
Very friendly service and awesome food.

Total Score = BR + CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW”

“This lovely restaurant has excellent service. I got a chicken taco\sopa lunch combo. It was a lot of food! Food was served with 2-extra fresh made tortillas. So it was ironic that the chips tasted like bargain-store bought. The chicken was tasty but a little plain with a slight odd aftertaste. I know people don't usually think much about the water, but the water was filtered and yummier than usual. All in all I had a good meal, but I often go to a nearby place that I prefer.”

“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.”

“I called in and placed my order for one of their large pepperoni pizza’s only because they give you a free small one . The small one my 6 grade daughter and I shared it and we ate it for our lunch. Took the large one home had it for dinner with the family.”

“the best place for a full meal. all home made . I follow them from Salinas to Watsonville. to me they are the best.”

“1st time trying this place...Texas Hot Dog is freaking amazing!! Chilli, cheddar cheese, grilled onions, bacon + the hot dog it self has a snap and grilled to perfection! Watsonville has a new king of HOT DOGS ? Taylor's just doesn't cut it anymore since years ago. You got to try them.”

“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.”

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

“Me and my partner went for dinner and It was great , we loved the food. The Inside was lovely super classy with like a rustic spin on it. Keep in mind when you eat there your eating there for a good cause ( you get to help these ladies make a life changing transition)”

“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.”

“I enjoy coming here but the broth is a little bland, I always have to add soy sauce and other sauces to get it flavorful enough. I do appreciate their wide range of pho options though.”

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

“muy rico todo los tamales son de primera Calidad y los tacos mas ricos que he comido gracias por su dedication a su labor.”

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

“We have been coming here for many years. The carnitas are always on point and delicious. We usually get an order of carnitas and buche to make tacos at home. Recently, we decided to try their tacos and they are pretty good. There was nowhere to sit inside. Service was good. Cash only!!”

“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.”

“Always happy with my purchases here. Prices are great, shipping is quick and their products are great quality. I’ve purchased from here several times and have never been disappointed.”

“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”

“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.”

“Excellent Chinese food place, we arrived and ordered, the service was very fast and our food was fresh and delicious, the attention from the staff was very friendly, and our food was delicious.”

“Rosa's tortillas are one of the best tasting tortillas , I enjoy serving to my family, they're very easy to prepare in many Mexican foods, my family's favorite are flautas , also enchiladas , en tostadas, they have the best tasting tortilla which is always the number one best when you're using Rosa's tortillas in watsonville .”

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

“Good vibes. Stopped by to grab a bite to eat outside the Brewery and ended up grabbing a beer too. Watch some football on the big tv they had. Nice spot to lounge and hangout with friends.”

“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!”

“I've only been there once but I'll be back! GREAT variety of beverages and the best service. Really enjoyed my visit!”

“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.”

“Sometimes I want to make the trip all the way from MA to have their desayuno salvdoreno or gorditas with the delicious stewed pollo and avocado.

Parking: Lot with limited parking”

“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!”

“So good, their diablito (lime ice cream with chamoy, chili candy) was not sour but still tasted like Mexican lime. I love that they had small & large sizes, not just one size. They also had chongos (dessert made of curled milk), which I ordered with no expectations, but to my surprise they tasted just like my grandmas. Very clean place. The girl who helped us was very friendly & patient with my kids, I just wished the kids could see the ice cream, regardless I’ll be back plenty of times. 10/10. I”

“The chicken taco is excellent and a great value at $2.77. The salsa is just the right amount of kick. You can always make it hotter! The vegetarian taco is fresh and tasty at $2.10. A small fountain drink is $1.78, which will bring you to the $6.50 you need for the free chips. Horchata, Jamaica, Tamarindo and Pina for $2 small. Small seating area, but ample outdoor seating. Nearby Michuacan ice cream for dessert! I'll be back.”

“I'm comparing to other taquerias, not some other type of restaurant. This is not a fine-dining sort of place, but if you want a quick meal in a casual atmosphere, this is a good choice.This has the feel of home cooking, complete with the attentive hostess/proprietor. She was delightful and offered us a sample of today's special (caldo de albondigas) before we ordered. It was delicious, so we went with that. We also ordered a couple of asada tacos--super tasty and she got my husband's special-order just right.The place is small and authentic feeling. They also have a comfortable outdoor seating area, which is where we chose to sit.The service was very fast.”

“tacos de las carnes de mejor calidad”

“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”

“Super delicious food, pastries and great customer service, btw try the Veggie Delight with turkey and bacon, super yummy. Also had their Turkey albóndigas , Taco Salad, Vanilla Chai with Cold Foam!!”

“Quiero agradecer el gran servicio que Judith y Damian que nos brindaron en el evento que tuvimos. Pedimos comida para 60 personas y la comida estuvo deliciosa no tengo nada malo que decir. Los invitados les fascinaron los tacos y que daron muy satisfechos. 100% recomendados sin duda .”

“great service...love banana split and kids love ice cream with sprinkles”

“Food is fire🤤🔥🐽”

“I love the vibe and the seating is a plenty especially the outside seating. I had the veggie burrito was very good tasty, filling and a perfect portion and ratio of product inside the burrito.”

“This place is amazing you all have to come and visit Tacos are with hand made tortillas”

“This place is so good and has such good prices and service. We were the only people there, seems like they get a ton of to-go orders, and we were treated so awesome”

“I was craving their delicious, unforgettable sopes.

As soon as we walked in, the lady greeted us. She said we could sit anywhere and she was so friendly to all of us, including my baby.

The food was scrumptious. My mom loved her Caldo de Res. Her caldo came with a side of rice and hand made tortillas.

My enchilada plate was so delicious.

My daughter ordered an OJ and it’s so fresh. They make it right then and there.

It’s so calm inside- just the server, the customers, and the person cooking.
They have plants inside and a vase of sunflowers.

In addition, they have a bathroom for customers only.

Of course, the only downside is parking. Park on the street or behind the building but, you’ll be lucky if you can find any because there’s only a few spaces in the back. Do not park in the super market parking; they will tow your car.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs are available.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Nice ambiance and atmosphere. Best to go when sun is going down”

“I have always wanted to try these quesabirria tacos and found out today this was the place to try them. We did and OMG they were so delicious! My kid says they are 5 ⭐️! We will be back!”

“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”

“Love love love your coffee!! Beans not overly roasted so that dark cup of coffee that I love without the bitterness that is common with dark roast coffees! I've tried both the Organic French Roast and the Coffeol's Best Blend and both were amazing! Keep up the good work Coffeol Roasting Co.!”

“Hands down the best quality in sourdough bread! ? delicious taste and I appreciate the consistency, never disappointed with my purchases. I purchase it at Safeway but they don't carry it in the Discovery Bay or Brentwood areas, so I have to drive to Pleasanton or Dublin for it. It's worth the drive.”

“I don't usually visit food trucks because there are few places to sit and eat on site and this truck is no exception in that regard. It was the first food stop on Airport Blvd from the freeway. They served the best taco's I have ever tasted. Even the tortillas were made right there on site. I highly recommend this taco truck if you don't mind eating in the car or as a take out. You can even order on line if traveling past Watsonville for a grab and go but we chose to order at the window.”

“Good food and large portion sizes. It looks unassuming from the outside but Red Apple Cafe was a great choice for a big meal before a big day. We got a California Benedict, a Chorizo potato dish, and strawberry french toast.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“It's been years since I've been to a Super T... and DAMN I've been missing out. First bite legit brought back memories of my dad taking me on a drive to grab lunch... getting a huge super burrito and being so absolutely stuffed from trying to finish it ? good food always brings good memories ?”

“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!”

“Underrated Authentic Food. I knew something was up when even my parents and sisters raved about it. Milanese Torta was a trip back to the streets of Zamora on a Saturday night.”

“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.)”

“Great service!! The employee checked the specific ingredients for the Garden Burger and it is NOT vegan. It is vegetarian. It is premade with cheese. They were really helpful in figuring this out.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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. ?”

“We tried the samosas, chai, and hot chocolate with whipped cream, and everything was really good and fresh. The cafe offers plenty of outdoor seating options with beautiful views.”

“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!!!!!”

“It was my first time. The customer service was excellent. The food was great. And it was Las Madres Day. 1 conchita with her champurrado and her Rosita. Thank you.”

“Lots of variety of Mexican sweet bread, the shells are delicious, they also sell slices of tres leches cake and cheese cake. Big variety of Mexican sweet bread, especially the conchas, the also sell tres leches cake and cheese cake by the slice.”

“ambiente familiar muy buena atención”

“(Translated by Google) Very good tasty lunch box the food the only thing that the staff lacks is speed because it takes a long time for an order or to solve the distribution of food I recommend it (Original) Muy buena lonchera sabrosa la comida lo único que le falta al personal es rapidez porque se tardan mucho para un pedido o resolver la distribución de comida lo recomiendo”

“(Translated by Google) I like the bread, especially the one they make with Splenda, I highly recommend it for those with diabetes.Thank you for thinking of people with diabetes ????(Original)Me gusta el pan sobre todo el que hacen con Splenda lo recomiendo mucho para los que tienen diabetesGracias por pensar en la gente con diabetes ????”

“The food was delicious!! Service was great , you can tell they are just getting started because it's pretty big and empty, but food was on point I'd go back again!”

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

“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.”

“The coffee beans from Hidden Fortress are the freshest and make the most delicious coffee I've ever tasted! I have started drinking my coffee black since switching to Hidden Fortress! As far as the drinks go? Well worth the wait for the best latte in town!”

“Sandwhich was pretty good and the young staff seemed professional and friendly. The only thing though there was a older gentleman with his hair down in a biker jacket behind the counter hovering around the staff then hung around at the tables. Made me feel uncomfortable for the staff because it felt like he was just watching them work. I get it he might be the manager but let the staff breathe, they seemed to be doing great. No one likes a micro manager.”

“Unas nieves muy ricas como quisiera tener acá en Murfreesboro TN....”

“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�”

“I love there sandwiches and the soup of the day is Delicious.”
