    Molcajete Cielo, Mar y Tierra
    Karla A.

    My BF saw a video Instagram and everything looks delicious, we decided to go to the restaurant, molcajete was huge and delicious we have to share , friendly staff , we absolutely going to come back and the micheladas are bomb , we went to Palm Beach after , fur sure it was an amazing date

    HUGE guacamole and cold drinks...!

    We love the food, atmosphere, margaritas, and service at El Michoacano. We got guacamole, Mexican shrimp cocktail, a super burrito, and steak entree. Prices for meat are very high for restaurants as well, and the portions are generous and reasonably priced. Going out to eat costs more everywhere. If you want 3x the meat of a typical burrito, just order the steak or Chile Verde entree or pay extra for extra meat. Rice and beans are infinitely cheaper than meat, and that is why a burrito is approx. 12 dollars and an entree is more like 25 dollars.

    Reasonably priced seafood with good service and generous portions. Decorated indoor and backyard, nice for photo taking. The chips are colorful with 2 salsa that are not spicy, so perfect for kids!

    Mexican spot that uses processed nacho cheese instead of shredded cheese is the first red flag for me. 20 dollars for "super nachos" with steak with no steak whatsoever is another red flag. Oh well, lesson learned!! Another red flag should have been how light they felt when leaving, felt like I was just taking home a bag of chips.

    I stopped here with my daughter a few years back and it left an impression on me. This place has amazingly wonderful botanas. Mouth watering. It's a must try!

    Amazing Mocajete
    Kami M.

    Let me start by telling you this little family did an amazing job building an outdoor dining area for their customers. They have outdoor heaters and it's such a nice little place to dine!! I took my family here for dinner tonight and we were beyond satisfied with not only their customer service but their food too! I've added a few pictures below of some of the cool things they do. We ordered their Mocajete which was AMAZING and my sister got the fajitas combo. Seriously so fresh and the food quality was beyond our expectations. They had music playing in the background to set the tone and it was just an overall wonderful experience. I definitely recommend El Michocano if you'd like to get out of the house and want to enjoy some good music, great food and wonderful service. They follow all of the Covid protocols and we will definitely return

    Super Burrito
    Alex V.

    First of all on the outside this looks like your typical mexican resturant, so you would never guess that this place would serve up one of the best super burritos in the city. I work close by so I occasionally will come here for lunch. I really appreciate the free chips and salsa that come with your order. Unfortunately it's take out only at this time due to the COVID-19 debacle. So I can't say what the dine-in experience is like, but I will say the two guys that I see everytime I go in are fast and efficient with take out orders. I haven't tried everyting on their menu, but their super burrito is delicious and big. It's packed with steak, beans, rice that are creamy and textured complimenting the rest of the burrito that really put it over the top. They are generous with their servings. My burrito was great and It wont be the last time I stop by during my lunch break. Price 5/5 Quantity 5/5 Quality 5/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere ( I will update this once they are open for dine-in) Overall they have my business and i can't wait to go back. Thank you!

    Over priced, dirty, pre packaged frozen food, and zero consistency with anything. Eat there at your own risk

    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.

    We came here on a recommendation to buy some cider and I'm soo happy we did as this is an awesome…read morelittle market with something for everyone! They have a ton of products here from meat to grocery to some veggies as well as a restaurant like they have all the makings of a place I would frequent had I lived here in the area! We only bought some cider and some tortillas and I must say the tortillas are awesome and get nice and crispy when I cook them! Overall this is an awesome place that I hope To visit again sometime as everything here looked sooo good!

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.
