“Excellent old-school bar. Went for a Bloody Mary at 12 noon and ended up staying until 10! Three bartender shift changes and each of them fantastic and friendly. Fun and friendly regulars too. Had bartender Paula's signature "juice": P⁶ - Paula's popping pineapple punch plus potassium. And if it's not too crowded and you're super nice, she may take out her guitar and serenade you :)“
“Went to lunch here with three friends and all of our meals were excellent. I had the chicken enchilada a la carte with red sauce and it was delicious.One of my friends had the chili colorado and it was absolutely outstanding.The interior of this restaurant is really cute and I saw a very nice outdoor patio as well.The prices are a little higher than most restaurants in watsonville but that's because the quality of the food is so good.Parking: There is a parking lot right next to the restaurant but be careful! That is for the grocery store.“

“Excellent service, the ambiance was very cozy and comfortable. We were immediately greeted and tended to graciously. The water they served us tasted great. We had Fish & Chips and Tom Kha soup (special order). Be mindful they include tomatoes in the soup. I added my own flare to it by adding noodles and carrot decorations from my boyfriend's plate (as shown in the photo). Our food was served hot, had a rich flavor, and the tofu and mushrooms in the soup were firm and also had nice flavor. Very filling! The fish and chips were delicious and the salad had a sweet dressing that added a nice touch (I ended up sneaking a piece of fish off his plate too it was so good!). Thanks guys! We'll be back to try more menu items.“
“Excellent local place. Food is good and they have gigantic portions. The only thing is that during peak lunch and dinner time the service can be a bit slow so just plan to go there on a night that you have plenty of time. Well worth it if you have time to stay and take in the atmosphere! Love the calamari steak sandwich!“
“When my family comes in from out of town, they almost always choose Palapas. Why? They accommodate large parties with a smile, the food is always good and hot, and I never feel rushed. Everyone tries different things, but I can't get past the combo enchilada platter. There's also a great view from almost every table.“

“What a wonderful restaurant with great funky vibes and charming waitstaff and owner.We are tourists from Montana who have stopped by every chance we get over the last ten years. The food is exceptional with luscious sauces and inventive cuisine. The best of the best! Dare to try something unique and exquisite. You'll be happy you did!“
“Seafood restaurant in Watsonville open relatively late with great serviceRaw oysters ⭐️⭐️: personally not a big fan of the huge oysters because the fishy taste is extra strong. Also these oysters had a lot of grit in them.Clam chowder ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: pretty solid clam chowder. Had a good clam taste while being rich but not too heavy.Clam pasta ⭐️⭐️⭐️: felt like even though there were a lot of clams in the pasta the flavor didn't really come out. Pasta texture was good.Mango mousse cake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: the best thing here and one of the better mango mousses I've had. Surprised at how good it was considering this is a seafood restaurant.“
