“ Hard to describe the fire that you will get at this place, absolutely amazing, Fernando sure knows what he’s doing, this place is amazing and I keep coming back!! ”
“ It's hard to overstate how excellent the quality of food is here. I had always thought the best Mexican food was in Watsonville, but this place has proved me wrong. We got most an assortment of items from the menu, but there really wasn't a single thing that was anything less than amazing. I'd say the highlights were the quesadilla (we got carne asada), the super burrito, and the tacos. Will absolutely be back, most likely every week! ”
“ Birria tacos were amazing. The only downside is there is no place to sit :( ”
“ Told the gentleman I only had 8 and I need to fill up gave me two delicious Dorado tacos and let me tell you there's something special I've never had a taco like that everything is super fresh and they're really friendly ,good people ”
“ Great food. I ordered my favorite. Quesabirria taco. Delicious! Ive been wanting to stop here for quite some time. I drive by it alot during work. The guys are soo nice and made ordering easy. The taco was full of flavorful meat, it was heavy. I could barelyy eat it all to be honest. I like that it came with grilled onions on the side. Definately stopping by again. They do take card payments. I was able to use a restroom in the nearby building. Parking lot is small and if your like me and drive a big vehicle, your better off parking on the street. ”
“ We came here at 3 pm and there were still people lined up outside! It hit so hard after a 5 mile hike. The birria was so tender and flavorful and the cheese blended well. The corn tortilla fit better on the quesa birria than the flour tortilla on the burrito which got kind of soggy. We were confused why 3 quesa birrias were 16 and 1 quesa birria was 15 but apparently it had to do with the size??? Still confused ”
“ The tacos are incredible! The al pastor and carnitas were both simply excellent. Perfect flavor and portions. Definitely worth to stop by. Highly recommended. ”
“ Great food always. Anything with their birria recipe is going to be great especially the little birria broth for like 3. ”
