So good! Affordable too. This salsa is the best. I don’t think it is hot, just really well spiced. I day dream about their burritos some days. I love cabbage in burritos

This place has authentic Mexican food, I always get he chorizo with eggs burrito and the chips with salga. If you want to eat real Mexican food this is the place located in the center of Watsonville next to Cabrillo College. They have everything, they got tacos , tortas , burritos , chiles rellenos, and seafood. If you’re a picky person you will not be disappointed they are very clean people and you will get the best customer service. If you have family from another state visiting I recommend you bringing them here because you won’t break the bank, this not an expensive place, you will spend less than $100 dollars and everyone will eat something delicious. They also have the best salsa try it with the chips. I hope who ever is reading my review has an amazing time with their friends and family at this great Mexican restaurant.

Simple, straightforward, casual Mexican food which won’t cost you an arm and a leg. They have lots of choices in burritos for under $5 like the chile verde with bean burrito. The service is fast and they’re friendly, too. You can call in your order, but mine took about two minutes when I ordered it. Very good value. My friend got the #12 combo, which is carne asada with rice, beans and cheese, salad, and tortillas.

Either the store is being renovated or it’s closed but no signs or notice of their status. This is not good to loyal customers who have looked to EF for their meal options for many years.

The best place I’ve ever been. I’ve been going there for maybe five years and decided to write a review. It’s so good and never disappoints me, and if we lived closer I’d go there every single day. The burritos I get usually aren’t too warm, which makes them 100% better. I was really shocked about the few one star reviews, because I always thought that El Frijolito was the best place on earth.

Food came out fast the sopes were good but not crunchy like they were headed on the microwave. Also they need to give you more osalsa for the food like the sopes. I also had Chiles rellenos and we’re really good too.

Very small “breakfast burrito” with sour cream that didn’t have any potatoes and cost 8.00$ no bigger than my hand

Been coming here since high school and not much has changed (which isn’t a bad thing) the food is always great and the environment is very nostalgic and friendly.
