Food was good, but a limited menu. Pricing was a little higher than expected. The carne asada burrito was very good. Disappointed they did not have chili Verde.

Service was friendly, food pedastrian. Expected a lot more and was disappointed. Mind you, wasn't bad....just way below what I expected. Beans overwhelmed the Pastor burrito, found it difficult in bites to even find the Pastor. Might try a different item if I go back.

I like the burritos. Is a convenient drive through Mexican restaurant.

Unusually for a taqueria this place has a drive thru. I ordered a grilled chicken burrito super. The guacamole was good, I liked that there were pickled jalapenos in it, and the service was reasonably quick, better than the surrounding drive-thrus. No free chips though despite the burrito being $13, price was above market rate.

Awful experience just now. A women took 8 min to take my order over the phone the to tell me at the end that because my order is more than $50 I had to pay a deposit / pay over the phone. I had ordered from here very many times and this was the first time I was told this and my orders are usually $60+. I told her that the man that always takes my order never asked me for money before arriving she said he is only the manger but she was the owners daughter. I told her that she should then train her staff and manager better to know what to expect. I understand rules are rules and I am more than happy to follow them, but then they should always be reinforced by everyone and to everyone not just when they feel like it or to who they feel like it.

I just had the worst food I’ve ever had in Watsonville California. It was completely cold. When I went up and said my food was cold and didn’t taste very good I asked for a refund. I was told that they would not refund my money. I had taken two bites. I was told no refund at all and they didn’t they didn’t care they were selling the business

Yesterday I went to go buy nachos and guess what!!!! Two f******* hairs on my food! The meat was also hard and burnt. Meat wasn't even fresh. Probably used left over meat This is NOT the first time it has happened. Also happened to my husband! I definitely do not recommend this place and definitely never going there again!

Bad customer service waited over 30 minutes in the drive-thru and nobody even acknowledge us to take our order.

My husband and I are trying this new thing and trying different restaurants when ordering takeout. From the pictures posted online, I was genuinely excited to try this place out. Sadly, my expectations were way too high. We decided on this place solely based on the pictures of the dishes served here. Now to the actual review ..... the food was horrible! I have been to many authentic Mexican food restaurants here in Watsonville. I've had nothing but good experiences...until now. The food taste "old" it's definitely not made fresh. Their is absolutely no flavor! I tried adding a bit of salt and lemon and a bit of salsa, but the food was unsalvageable! The meat is nothing but hard chewy pieces of fat, which makes every bite disgusting due to the texture. I had to spit out the food. Literally the only good thing about the food was the cilantro, onion and jalapeños. We ordered a gordita, al pastor taco, azada taco, menudo and some azada fries. We payed $45! I 100% will not be coming back and will not recommend to anyone! Taco trucks and other restaurants around town are far better with better ingredients and way more flavor! Total waste of $45 we ended up throwing away all the food .... Save your money people!

Great flavor and good customer service. Definitely I will recommend to anyone this place. I had a great experience eating and very happy with the service received.

Will give it another chance but didn't stand out. Was expecting to see a lot of chicken options with a name like pollero
