“great tasting food it was a packed little place with people waiting outside to be seated“

“We have been coming here for many years. The carnitas are always on point and delicious. We usually get an order of carnitas and buche to make tacos at home. Recently, we decided to try their tacos and they are pretty good. There was nowhere to sit inside. Service was good. Cash only!!“

“This lovely restaurant has excellent service. I got a chicken taco\sopa lunch combo. It was a lot of food! Food was served with 2-extra fresh made tortillas. So it was ironic that the chips tasted like bargain-store bought. The chicken was tasty but a little plain with a slight odd aftertaste. I know people don't usually think much about the water, but the water was filtered and yummier than usual. All in all I had a good meal, but I often go to a nearby place that I prefer.“

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

“Chorizo Tacos were delicious $3 each. Such a steal! Love them.“

“This place is amazing you all have to come and visit Tacos are with hand made tortillas“

“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!“

“I was craving their delicious, unforgettable sopes.

As soon as we walked in, the lady greeted us. She said we could sit anywhere and she was so friendly to all of us, including my baby.

The food was scrumptious. My mom loved her Caldo de Res. Her caldo came with a side of rice and hand made tortillas.

My enchilada plate was so delicious.

My daughter ordered an OJ and it’s so fresh. They make it right then and there.

It’s so calm inside- just the server, the customers, and the person cooking.
They have plants inside and a vase of sunflowers.

In addition, they have a bathroom for customers only.

Of course, the only downside is parking. Park on the street or behind the building but, you’ll be lucky if you can find any because there’s only a few spaces in the back. Do not park in the super market parking; they will tow your car.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs are available.“

“I'm comparing to other taquerias, not some other type of restaurant. This is not a fine-dining sort of place, but if you want a quick meal in a casual atmosphere, this is a good choice.This has the feel of home cooking, complete with the attentive hostess/proprietor. She was delightful and offered us a sample of today's special (caldo de albondigas) before we ordered. It was delicious, so we went with that. We also ordered a couple of asada tacos--super tasty and she got my husband's special-order just right.The place is small and authentic feeling. They also have a comfortable outdoor seating area, which is where we chose to sit.The service was very fast.“

“Dropped in from San Diego ca food was great and definitely recommend to everyone“

“Best Mexican food around by FAR!“

“It's been years since I've been to a Super T... and DAMN I've been missing out. First bite legit brought back memories of my dad taking me on a drive to grab lunch... getting a huge super burrito and being so absolutely stuffed from trying to finish it ? good food always brings good memories ?“

“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.“

“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!“

“It is a restaurant that has varied dishes at good prices, they serve abundantly. All their dishes are very good, they have different accompaniments and there is no shortage of beans, tortillas and ?️ chili. You can ask for whatever you want. Excellent atention.

Parking: On site, easy access.“

“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.“

“I don't usually visit food trucks because there are few places to sit and eat on site and this truck is no exception in that regard. It was the first food stop on Airport Blvd from the freeway. They served the best taco's I have ever tasted. Even the tortillas were made right there on site. I highly recommend this taco truck if you don't mind eating in the car or as a take out. You can even order on line if traveling past Watsonville for a grab and go but we chose to order at the window.“

“The closest restaurant you will find to Abuelita’s kitchen. The food is as authentic as you can get! I always judge the authenticity of a Mexican restaurant by their beans, and their beans are spot on! Tacos de asada, nopal breakfast burritos and menudo is among my fave. The service is always great, the ladies their are always so welcoming and humble, they remind me of my tias. Give this small place a chance! You won’t regret it!“

“The chicken taco is excellent and a great value at $2.77. The salsa is just the right amount of kick. You can always make it hotter! The vegetarian taco is fresh and tasty at $2.10. A small fountain drink is $1.78, which will bring you to the $6.50 you need for the free chips. Horchata, Jamaica, Tamarindo and Pina for $2 small. Small seating area, but ample outdoor seating. Nearby Michuacan ice cream for dessert! I'll be back.“

“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!“

“Food is fire🤤🔥🐽“

“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...“

“The food here is the best! It is authentic and delicious. Mari, the owner's mom makes us feel right at home. It's like going to your momma's house. We drove from San José to have lunch there yesterday, after a wonderful experience two weeks ago. Gloria Chacón“
