The rice was fluffy and flavorful, the refried beans were smooth and comforting, and the generous sprinkle of fresh cheese added the right salty balance. The fresh lettuce and cucumber gave a nice, crisp contrast, and every bite felt hearty, authentic, and satisfying. This is the kind of breakfast that hits every note comforting, flavorful, and made with care. Easily one of the best chilaquiles I've had. I'd come back just for this dish alone. Highly recommend if you're craving a solid, classic Mexican breakfast.

What a gem in downtown Watsonville!…read more Surrounded by a sleepy and mildly depressed downtown, Encanto is a breath of fresh air. The owner has renovated the over century-old historic hotel interior to make it a charming and modern space, while retaining the beautiful details from the hotel's hay day. The owner continues to renovate, but where it is now is a stunning preservation! While I could go on about the ambiance, I could go on as long about the food and service! The owner, Victor, is incredibly friendly, easy-going, and leads a great kitchen and team. Everyone seems genuinely happy to be there, and it shows in their customer service and flavors. The incredible and warm friendliness adds to the visit. Then, the reason for going out to eat: FOOD! They specialize in modern and elevated takes on taqueria and American diner dishes, and it is all perfect! Whether you want grilled shrimp, fajitas, or a spot-on fried chicken sandwich, it is all delicious. My little baby taste buds that have been coddled by the lack of spice in most Santa Cruz County restaurants were getting a little firey with the flavors, but they were very nice in bringing a side of sour cream to accommodate. The spice was so tasty, I would have kept going without the sour cream. The complimentary chips and tomatillo-avocado salsa are delicious, the made-in-house tortillas are the perfect texture, the grilled shrimp are caramelized and crisped to just the right amount, and all the flavors and mouthfeel of any dish are spot-on. And on top of it all, the drink selection is amazing! Local craft Mexican-style beers and Mexican imported beers are on tap, a tempting strawberry margarita, and a wide selection of bottled beers all round out an exceptional experience.

It comes with a side of red salsa which was very good too and not spicy. The tacos were so much bigger than other Mexican restaurants which was a very nice surprise. We got two tacos, two chicken sopes, and two horchatas for about $18. Everything was delicious and cheaper than expected. I went during lunch time so it was pretty busy, but still got our food pretty fast. The staff were all friendly. There is some parking available as well. Definitely recommend this place!

Lack of customer service. I was in town visiting family after loosing a family member and when we…read moregot hungry someone recommended me this place. After sitting down the and ordering our food and drinks my order was wrong and they corrected the mistake right away, as of that time all the complaint I had was the unpleasant face of the waiter. 5 family members came right after we got our food and after a few mins they starting ordering their food. The waiter was having a hard time getting the order and even my cousins got frustrated and he went and go ahead order by the numbers on the menu. We waited a while and one of my nieces got her food so we assumed the rest of the food was coming after but we were wrong, we saw the waiter take food to another table. We asked about our food and she said cooks mix the ticket. About 5 mins later the waiter cabe by and then again we ask for our food and she said they were making for the other table. Finally we got another plate, incorrect order but we didn't want to say anything since we waited so long. The next order came, wrong too, it was supposed to be 2 plane sopes yet we got 2 sopes with everything, we ask to change it and repeat the order, right after another waiter brought 1 sope with beans, we said only meat, my cousin got up and explain the order at the counter and the first waiter helping us said that she can't with that table and that she was crusted and ran to the restroom, the food was for my 7year nephew which was getting upset. After that the manager, according with her, came over and tried to justified the waiter and said that she was an 18year old student, we mentioned that our nieces were too and she turn to them and told told them "but are you perfect?", she then said that the kitchen was the one that make the mistake and that she wasn't going to charge us for the last food order. She brought the check and since I wanted to leave already I was about to give my card when my niece ask me to check the check and glad I did because I was getting overcharge not only that I could tell the waiter didn't know how to take an order since she barely had anything written down but she was charging us, when we call the manager she gave us the sting eye, she later said she didn't but 3 people saw that. All I can ask is train the employees to be accountable for their mistake and teach them well. All we wanted was to get some food and enjoy the day after our loss but we ended up mad and frustrated.

It is a food truck, so you order at the window and are provided with the buzzer to inform when your order is ready. I really liked this and found it unique for a food truck! My boyfriend and I ordered their hibachi duo meat plate. We got fried rice and shrimp and chicken. After receiving our order, we realized it is not enough to share. However, I was not a fan of the taste so it worked out perfectly. On the other hand, my boyfriend really enjoyed the flavors and seasoning on the food. We also tried their blueberry lemonade which was a bit too watered down for my liking. The rest of their agua frescas look delicious, and I look forward to giving them a try. The food truck is in a location with ample parking and the food did not take too long. While I was not a fan of the taste, I do think it is worth a try and love that there is a hibachi option in town!
