Corralitos Brewing Company Brewery • $
2536 Freedom Blvd, Watsonville

“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.“

Catz Pawz Burgers •
Watsonville

“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.“

“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!“

“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.)“
