Jalisco Restaurant: Experience Authentic Mexican Flavors in Watsonville

My wife ate here today and loved it. She had Sopa and it was delicious. The atmosphere was wonderful and inviting. Good parking. I’m looking forward to trying it myself.

Nice place, appropriately decorated. The food was very good, we've been here many times before. Service is always good, and it's a lively place. The restaurant's parking is across the street, always difficult - we always park on the street.

Three words that sets this restaurant apart: FLAME Broiled Meats! Absolutely recommended as one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area and possibly Northern California. Detailed review follows: We came here because of the good reviews and were very impressed with the vibe, the food quality, the service, and the price (amazing food for reasonable prices. The food options here are fantastic for a Mexican restaurant. They have almost every Mexican dish you can think of. No matter what you order, it comes out perfect. The meats here are char broiled and set this place apart from the competition. I ordered a Chimichanga and the flavor of the fried tortilla was accentuated by the fire flavor of the beef, mixed with the delicious beans and rice. They also have free chips and salsa. Even the chips were freshly fried and crispy. The restaurant setting is wonderful with outdoor covered patio seating and indoor seating. There is an indoor bar as well which serves cocktails, beer, and wine. The restaurant has lots of authentic Mexican decor throughout and really feels special for the area. Parking is nearby and free, we never have trouble finding some. The servers were incredibly friendly, they spoke English and Spanish, and were attentive throughout. If you are traveling by or visiting Watsonville, it’s worth coming here for an accurate Mexican restaurant experience prepared by people know who the cuisine intimately and use quality ingredients.

Not too fancy but definitely a cut above the 'normal' ... Came for a very lovely (& huge) dinner & came back 2 days later for a game & nachos. I'm only in town 1/year but I will be back. I really love & appreciate that they renovated an old building & gave it new life while preserving the beauty of the old.

We stopped for a night in Watsonville on our way down to Pismo. We were driving around and googling, looking for a restaurant that was open at 945pm for a meal and drink. We found this place and it was bustling with folks inside. They have a full bar and had a mariachi band right on the floor in front with the patrons, all singing together lol. (The hostess said it is always like this on Fridays) It reeked of Mexican authenticity inside! We go to Mexico at least a couple times a year, so I was happy to find a lot of Latin people inside eating - must be good! I had the crab enchiladas dinner, and he had shrimp tacos. Both were really good. You could really taste the freshness. We had a cadillac and a jalapeño margarita (both doubles), and the Cadillac def had better flavor. All staff was very attentive and pretty quick. If ever in the area again, will def be coming back!

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants, love the skirt steak salad. Always come here to celebrate with friends and family

Nice place downtown. The food is excellent. I asked for extra cheese and they didn't disappoint. Fun and clean atmosphere. We will be back Private parking lot for the restaurant across the street.

Love eating here. We dont come as often as Id like. But the service and food are always the best in my opinion. Today my hubby brought me for lunch and I tried for the first time a small nacho plate with shredded beef. He ordered the menudo. Both were delicious. I took half of the nachos to go. I was stuffed halfway thru. Plenty of food. Staff was friendly and inviting. The interior decor is beautiful, they have a nice outdoor patio setting if you prefer to eat outdoor. Parking is tight behind restaraunt. They do have parking lot across the street or on Main St.
