39 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Watsonville

“I heard about India Gourmet in Nextdoor and saw their stand at the Watsonville Farmer's Market. My wife and I tried their food and all the positive feedbacks on Nextdoor were spot on!! The Butter Chicken and Masala are Delicious and im definitely going back for more. No more long drives to the South Bay nor Santa Cruz for great Indain Food!“

“Had the Castroville Scramble (3 eggs, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, onions, with home fried potatoes and Rye toast) and it was VERY VERY good! The service was great and food delivered promptly. there's a small outdoor dining area tgat was very nice even though it's in a very commercial/industrial part of town. A very pleasant dining surprise for hungry travellers!“

“I saw a food creator claiming to have found the best burger in Watsonville. Honestly, I was skeptical because many influencers get paid to hype things up. However, after seeing a tempting menu online, I decided to check them out anyway. Less than an hour before closing, I called to place my order and headed out for pickup. When I arrived, I realized the cafe was right next to my childhood favorite taqueria. The place was quiet and casual, and it radiated a warmth that instantly took me back to my childhood days of waiting eagerly for food. The owners were incredibly kind and attentive. They even gave me a small box for my carryout, which reminded me of my old favorite spot and how my dad used to carry a whole charola full of tacos. The aroma was absolutely mesmerizing, and I can confidently say that all the rumors are true. Their burgers (especially the King Kong Burger) are truly one of a kind! The bun is soft and pliable, the meat is tender, and the vegetables are very fresh. The cheese melts all the flavors together perfectly. In fact, I’ve never had a burger that pulls off thinly sliced meat better than this. While I had never tried bibimbap before, it will be tough to top the version I had here. Even my dad, who rarely tries international cuisines, was tempted by just the smell. The spicy sauce complemented the other ingredients wonderfully! The yam fries were also outstanding: crispy, sweet, and absolutely delicious. As a big fan of sweet potatoes, I can honestly say they were the best I’ve ever had. I will definitely be returning soon! 😋“

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

“Josh was a great host. The Fish House Bar and Grill offers a warm and romantic ambiance. My wife and I were very pleased with the delicious food. Our first time at The Fish House but definitely not the last! You can view our “Food Coma - The Fish House Bar and Grill Watsonville, CA - Jon and Kristel Coma” episode on YouTube.“

“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.“

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

“was delicious and lots of choices on the menu. service was great.“

“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.“

“My family of 5 went there for brunch yesterday. We were seated quickly and received immediate service. We had the chicken pesto sandwich with a salad; the pancake combo, two waffle combos; and a meat lovers omelet with potatoes. We enjoyed it all! The chicken pesto sandwich was perfection! The pancakes and waffles were delicious, the bacon had good crunch, the eggs were scrambled and cooked just right! Also, they had this orange muffin that was amazing! We can't wait to go back! It was so yummy!! We all left full and satisfied.“

“Delicious, authentic Thai food—perfect every time. I recently discovered this place and it’s now my favorite Thai spot. Service is quick and friendly, food is flavorful and tasty with large portions at a reasonable price. I’m partial to curries, the pumpkin curry is outstanding but I’ve tried and loved them all. The ginger chicken soup is phenomenal as well. Highly recommend!“

“As a taco snob, I approve of these tacos!!! From the fresh tortillas, to the great salsas and guacamole. Hire this team and cater a great party!“

“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.“

“Growing up in Watsonville, Pizza Mia was the quintessential spot for a quick, satisfying slice, a concept that feels rare these days. Returning after more than a decade, I was eager to see if it lived up to my memories, and it absolutely did.

The pizza remains consistently good, the crust is thin but not too thin, with a soft, fluffy interior and a satisfying crisp. The sauce is the real standout, it's light, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced, complementing every bite. It is simple, unpretentious, and exactly what you hope for from a neighborhood pizzeria.

Service is fast, and the pricing is fair. I had three slices of pepperoni pizza and three water bottles for $13.81. What struck me most is how Pizza Mia manages to deliver both nostalgia and quality, proving that some local favorites are timeless. The only downside is that I noticed the seating area is now closed, which is a bummer as that was a place to sit, eat, and enjoy your pizza and maybe play an arcade game.

For anyone in Watsonville craving a classic slice done right, this is a must visit!“

“My son recommended this place and oh-my-gosh, what a good place it is. I had a birria super burrito and it was one of the best I've ever had. And I really enjoyed the fact that we could also get good fries! And a corn dog - crazy! The interior is very generic so just come for the food!“

“I come get a slice here often. It’s unfortunate that the price has gone up so much in recent years but I guess that’s true of most places. When slices were $1.50 it was a great deal. Now it’s just about average. The pizza isn’t the best, but it’s consistent and it will satisfy that craving you have for a slice. I like that you can get just a slice or two if you want. The dining area is usually quiet, with plenty of seating for just yourself or you and a couple friends. They have some games for the kids. I like that you get the sweet smell of the breads being baked at the panaderia next door. Parking is usually no problem. The staff is friendly.“

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

“Sooo disappointed! Highly recommended! We purchased to go an extra large combination When we got home and opened the box: Totally dry and overcooked I would have liked to send them a message - rather than - Facebook. Not an option. Lynne“

“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 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.“

“Amazing food! The sushi is so fresh, and the rolls are to die for!“

“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.“

“On vacation from FL. We was craving Mexican food, our hotel suggested this place, and what a great place to eat! The food was authentic and it was a treat! Our server we met was Lilly was so nice it made the food that much better! Can't wait to go again before we leave the area. Keep up the great food and customer service!“

“Good breakfast place. Plenty of parking, in front and back lots. Good food, above average but not fantastic. Excellent coffee. Lots of servers, so service was good. Less expensive than comparable coffeeshops.\nBathrooms could use a deep cleaning and a brighter light.\nWe'll be back!“

“I had such a beautiful experience at Anjaneya’s World Café! Ur going to need to make a reservation at mount madonna center first. So worth it .The workers are incredibly sweet, welcoming, and friendly it really makes you feel at home. There are plenty of options to choose from, and the samosas were warm and absolutely delicious,The music playing in the background was so good too—it really added to the whole vibe and made the space feel even more peaceful and uplifting.
I’ll definitely be coming back soon! Also, the Hanuman temple there is truly amazing—such a peaceful and uplifting space. Highly recommend checking this place out 🕉
p.s u should try the Cacoa cinnamon cardamom with honey 🕉“

“(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“

“This would be a five star review if La Misma were not operating in the old location of La Fuente Taqueria. Everything at La Misma is just fine but La Fuente was one of the highlights of visiting Watsonville for me. The food at La Misma is nothing special and my nostalgia is still hungry.“

“Filete submarino Camarones a la española Ceviche de camarón crudo Aguachile rojo Mariscada“

“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!“

“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.....“

“This Taqueria has the best sopes and at an affordable price. You will always find this place full of people. Food is fresh and the Chile's rellenos also tacos , nachos , tortas on the weekends they have birria and menudo, I you're in Watsonville come to this place, you will enjoy your food without hurting your wallet.“

“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 hadn't been here in awhile, it's still good, service good, nice atmosphere. Enjoyed the 3 entree lunch. Alot of food.“

“My best experience at a Chinese restaurant and this was my first time there. From the gecko I was greeted in such a friendly manner and my waitress was beyond nice as well. Food great/large portion size , very fast service, private dinning.Given the fact that it was almost closing time for the restaurant and overall experience was wonderful. I will be back for sure !“

“Hard to rate this place at 5 star and your milage may vary... Buuuuut I like the mixed tostada ceviche for the $, very much... OK on other stuff... However ordered a gordita the other day and it was unreal, very traditional but then what do I know, a giant stuffed corn tortilla really good...“

“It was delivered and I was just a touch disappointed.

I love Mountain Mike's and their toppings here were a bit dry.

I think next time I need to ask for a bit more sauce and toppings.

Just disappointed.“

“The service was absolutely horrible today. We came in ordered, or appetizer was out in 10-15, our food took 45 minutes and to top it off was cold, and they took my husband's steak came back half hour later with it corrected. We asked 2 waitstaff for a Pepsi refill and when we the waiter came back to put our bill on the screen we asked him for the 2nd time for the refill he said he'd get it and put it into a Togo cup and walked off and went to chat up his coworker at the bar, it wasn't until my husband went to go Pay the bill that he asked a 4th Time for that refill and the waiters still took forever we spent another 10 unnecessary minutes just waiting. It was absolutely horrible. I will not be coming here again at all. The waitstaff got a raise and forgot how to treat customers“

“It's was amazing I tell you amazing the only downside is the long wait for you to get your food which I've seen so many people leave but either than that it's very great love the food just go easy on the salt Chef?‍?give me the gas ⛽️? love the area close to cricket and yogurt ?doe I wish it was a little bigger but aye it's watsonville can't really expand.

Parking: The parking is close to everything bank the store and many more.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's like serval of them but limit to certain amount.“
