Standouts were ceviche, seafood stew, rellenos, and fajitas. Enchiladas were least favorite but not bad. Salsa and hot sauces have kick. Would definitely come again if I'm through there sometime in the future.

The salsa is also my favorite here, it's spicy and flavorful but addicting once you start you can't stop. The only thing I don't like now is that they are charging for chips and salsa which in my opinion should be complementary.

We were 2 adults 2 kids. they give complementary chips and salsa. mind you the salsa bowl was so small we had to ask for 3-4 refills during our dinner, which was kind of let down since you had to wait until someone either checks on you or you somehow manage to get their attention Food was good nothing extraordinary based on what we order. veggie tacos and from kids menu bean and cheese burrito and Enchiladas (somehow order got mixed up and we got cheese qusedilla instead) Drinks were good.

This is one of my hubby's favorite spots here in Watsonville and he had to bring us!…read more Parking is limited, so be prepared. There is a tiny lot in the back, and spots on the street. The atmosphere is nice. Clean, not too loud, friendly staff greeting you, and a beautiful bar as the focal point. We were sat inside near a beautiful fireplace... we were by the open door that led to the patio so it was a bit chilly and would have been nice if the fireplace were on lol. Our server was very polite and didn't rush us when deciding on what we wanted to order. There were a few questions, and he answered them all without hesitation. I ordered a carne asada chimichanga and I wish one of my questions would have been if it came wet or not. Just in case you're wondering, it comes wet. It's my fault for assuming and not asking. If I would have known, I would have ordered it dry. Honestly it was like a regular wet burrito and not a chimichanga. Because of the sauce, it took all of the crispness away. The sauce on top had very good flavor, and the meat was tender and delicious. My daughter ordered shredded beef tacos and shredded chicken tacos came out instead. She wasn't going to say anything but the server who delivered our food noticed her face and asked if there was something wrong. I told him she ordered beef and got chicken. He was so sweet and apologetic and within minutes fresh hot beef tacos were in front of her, and she loved them! I'm mentioning this not because of the mixup, but because of how quickly it was resolved and how nice both servers were. My hubs always gets the fajita trio. Beef, chicken, and shrimp. He has told me in the past how much he loves this dish and tonight I got to see this affection firsthand haha.... within minutes his plate was clean!!! I managed to snag a shrimp without losing a finger and now I know why he loves it so much! The flavor was really good and the shrimp was plump and perfectly cooked. The food came out after a good amount of time after we ordered and we never felt rushed. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. This is a place that we will frequent from now on whenever we come to visit.

Lack of customer service. I was in town visiting family after loosing a family member and when we…read moregot hungry someone recommended me this place. After sitting down the and ordering our food and drinks my order was wrong and they corrected the mistake right away, as of that time all the complaint I had was the unpleasant face of the waiter. 5 family members came right after we got our food and after a few mins they starting ordering their food. The waiter was having a hard time getting the order and even my cousins got frustrated and he went and go ahead order by the numbers on the menu. We waited a while and one of my nieces got her food so we assumed the rest of the food was coming after but we were wrong, we saw the waiter take food to another table. We asked about our food and she said cooks mix the ticket. About 5 mins later the waiter cabe by and then again we ask for our food and she said they were making for the other table. Finally we got another plate, incorrect order but we didn't want to say anything since we waited so long. The next order came, wrong too, it was supposed to be 2 plane sopes yet we got 2 sopes with everything, we ask to change it and repeat the order, right after another waiter brought 1 sope with beans, we said only meat, my cousin got up and explain the order at the counter and the first waiter helping us said that she can't with that table and that she was crusted and ran to the restroom, the food was for my 7year nephew which was getting upset. After that the manager, according with her, came over and tried to justified the waiter and said that she was an 18year old student, we mentioned that our nieces were too and she turn to them and told told them "but are you perfect?", she then said that the kitchen was the one that make the mistake and that she wasn't going to charge us for the last food order. She brought the check and since I wanted to leave already I was about to give my card when my niece ask me to check the check and glad I did because I was getting overcharge not only that I could tell the waiter didn't know how to take an order since she barely had anything written down but she was charging us, when we call the manager she gave us the sting eye, she later said she didn't but 3 people saw that. All I can ask is train the employees to be accountable for their mistake and teach them well. All we wanted was to get some food and enjoy the day after our loss but we ended up mad and frustrated.

Stopped by a Mexican market for breakfast burritos and honestly, solid experience overall…read more Ordered five burritos at 8:20, paid at the front counter, and we were out the door by 8:25. Super quick. At $5.25 for a breakfast burrito, it's good value, even though the burrito itself is kinda small. I got the steak and egg burrito and my whole group went with the same thing. The meat quality and quantity were pretty good for $5. I'm not a big breakfast guy, so I was fine eating just one, but if you're actually hungry, I'd say get two. It's literally just steak and eggs, nothing extra. On its own it's a little bland, but the red salsa saved it. The salsa had good heat and added the flavor the burrito needed. Small note, mine wasn't wrapped perfectly so some egg fell out. Not a huge deal, but I was eating in my car and ended up with some egg spilling. Just something to keep in mind since there's not really seating. Overall, quick, affordable, and solid for a no frills breakfast.

I ordered the pollo flautas and a sangria that was bigger than my head! The beans were a little salty, the chips were a little too well done (extra crunchy). Overall, it was a good experience and I'd definitely come back again and try another dish! Maybe their sushi?? Did I mention they have a couple sushi rolls on the menu??
