“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.)”

“The Habit in Watsonville is one of the best fast food spots in the area. The manager, Sara, and cashier, Maria, provide excellent customer service and always treat customers with respect and care. The food is consistently hot, salads are fresh, and well-prepared. The staff stays focused and professional, making sure orders are handled quickly and correctly rather than being distracted in the back like at some other places. Overall, the team runs a tight, efficient operation that shows pride in their work. I would definitely recommend this location if you’re looking for great food and reliable service.”

“Delicious fresh food. Bought 4 sandwiches & everyone loved them. Ordered on App & they were ready on time. Great customer service. Not sure what her name was but she greeted us, smiled & was so kind. Wished us a Happy 4th of July. Very great experience. Hadn't had Togo's in 8 years. Didn't realize there was one in the city next to me. Found out there's 2. But we will now be going to the Togo's we ate at today regularly.”

“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”

“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.”

It came with a square yellow bun and a square patty, Patrick's star berry shortcake pie which was so delicious and a pineapple ice. I would get this while you can. I would also recommend going this burger king. I felt I ruled on this one”

“I don’t know what Laura is talking about, but she’s wrong. Cynthia was one of the best workers there! She’s a great manager and really helped me when I was struggling to order at the kiosk. Thanks to her, I know how to use it now. While I was eating, I noticed how much she cared about the customers. She was kind, patient, and always made sure people were taken care of”
