Really good carnitas they are flavourful and this place is really consistent. Highly recommend if your in town to stop by this gem. The green aguachiles are also great. Priced right for the quality.

Today was the 3rd or 4th time that I have eaten at this restaurant.I am not going to lie, but the first and second time that I went here, it felt to me like the services needed improvement.Today I am pleased to say that it has gotten to better, in my opinion, therefore I am giving this restaurant 5 stars. Food, drinks, and services are great.Will be coming in more often.

You want to waste your money, come here, the food is horrible, the rice is tasteless, the meat is horrible and tough and what can I say about the sushi, it's horrible, it's disgusting and I spent 40 minutes waiting for them to give me my sushi.

As compared to the first time I went when they first opened the food was just not it, the shrimp I got in my aguchile negro was slimy and had a very strong stench (no good) the miche was made poorly, the sushi was literally pure rice not enough meat or shrimp etc. Also forgot to serve an order and to add like every other 1 star review they really are no kidding the food HAS NO FLAVOR. on top of that the food was incredibly OVER PRICED. I couldn't believe I paid for a plate I didn't even eat.. serving bad shrimp ?? Sheesh. Surprised I didn't get sick.

Great little hole in the wall with great food! My friend is a vegetarian and I'd already eaten so we just got a vegetarian tostada and guacamole to go with the tortillas. OMG! It was the best guacamole ever! There were huge chunks of avocado, purple vidalia onions, cilantro, tomatoes, etc. It was very fresh and super good...especially with the Mexican ranch sauce. Because of the freshness and great flavor, I will be returning for a good seafood meal like I saw going out to all the other tables.

We stopped by on a Saturday night and t was almost empty. We had checked the reviews but not much to go on as most were high with one saying love it and giving three and another only based on one dish. We had four different items. The aguachile (very spicy as it should be) was the hit of the night with the tostadas coming in second and the caldo third. The ceviche type dishes were really well done and tasted freshly made. The caldo was also freshly made but was a little on the bland side. I believe with a little more salt or seasoning it would have been great as it was full of fish. The pictures of the caldo were after it had been dug into for a few bites. The service was attentive and made a change on the Michelada to the green Aguachile and they did. Overall a great place that is ready to serve in a Saturday evening. They said Saturday is their quietest day but they are probably good every day.

With I hadn't passed by this place as much as I have. Been eating in Watsonville for decades, and this place popped up after a burger spot left the building. I've got my usual places for mariscos, but decided to give it a go. Delicious. Between me and my lady we got empanadas de camaron, ceviche de camaron crudo, carnitas tacos, aguachile verde and a couple micheladas and draft beers. Saw someone on here whining about the aguachile being spicy. That's the point. It's a spicy version of ceviche. Don't hate when you don't know what you ordered. Anyway, it was delicious. Enough for a separate meal back at home later. Empanadas were some of the best in town, and we ended up taking half of them home too. Carnitas was super legit, and was the mixta, so you get all the jiggly bits too,my favorite. Beer was beer, which is always good. Michelada was pretty good too. That one I've had better, but still would order again if here. Like I mentioned there's other spots I hit in Watson for mariscos, but I'll mix this one in the rotation as well.
