Real Colima Restaurant

Outstanding Mexican cuisine; hot and tasty. Very generous portions for the price with a family/​homemade feel. Small and noisy… not suitable for quiet conversations or business meetings. This restaurant exists to have a great tasting meal, so, EAT!

The food was bland and barely warm. My mom had to send back her chile relleno because it was too cold. My chicken taco was inedible because it was too cold.

I love the combo plates, the tortilla chips and salsa, and the amazing hard-​shell tacos. The tortillas, presumably homemade, make the meal. I have yet to be disappointed and am glad to have come across this place.

I just had the 3 Enchiladas plate. I ordered chicken, one chile verde, and one al pastor. I have to say the al pastor was my favorite.

Nasty burritos ! We used to go all the time since I was 5yrs old but now its just not the same at all .they don’t know how to wrap burritos right no more and they make them too full that it falls apart and when I order and tell them I want my super with everything except for etc… they only give me a fckin rice nd beans and meat no salsa no union no cilantro like wtf that obviously comes with it and I specifically told them how I want it the only thing I said take out is sour cream aguacate and pico de gallo! the enchiladas are nasty and the price is a rip off one quesadilla for $ 5?! I should of just made it at home !

The $ 4 veggie burrito with cabbage (sub. for lettuce) is awesome. Very authentic Mexican restaurant with fresh home made tortillas.
I’ve been going here for 30 years. It’s a winner.

It is ok. There are many better Mexican restaurants in Watsonville.

We’ve been enjoying Real Colima for years. Their vegetarian burritos are excellent, and the super size is an amazing bargain. The people are nice, and we appreciate being able to call in an order and pick it up 15 – 20 minutes later. Highly recommend for authentic Mexican fare.

Always our go to place when in the mood of mexican food and want to take a day off my kitchen.

Best Mexican food in town! They make their flour tortillas hand made and are always fresh! Their carne asana burritos are amazing!

Great solid Mexican food! Plus, they make their own corn tortillas, and it’s not often that you see that in Mexican establishments. Added perk to any meal!
This is my go to place when seeking a homemade Mexican meal, aside from my parents house that is.

Just had their breakfast burritos for the first time. They are great! BIG burrito with freshly made eggs, potatoes and ham on a HOMEMADE flour tortilla! Yes! Good luck finding this anywhere else. Soft, chewy, warm tortilla holds all the ingredients in place

Great service. Great food. The grilled shrimp were cooked to perfection. The birria wrapped in those homemade flour tortillas was just too damn good. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

I ordered the super burrito, and the burrito was delicious, but I have to say that the service was what bothered me. It wasn’t surprising that the place seemed empty if that was the type of service regularly given.
1. We had to seat ourselves and wait for the lady to hand us menus while she was having a long conversation with a friend.
2. When asking the waitress about what one of the items was she grumpily answered.
3. We had to wait a long time for the waitress to give us our receipt.
4. We got tired of waiting for the waitress to come over to take our bill (15 min), that we walked up and submitted it ourselves.

Excellent authentic Mexican food and exactly what we needed. We’ll definitely come back again.

Whenever my family and I visit Watsonville we love stopping by for nopales tacos. My daughter loves the enchiladas and it has a little touch of home.
Always a pleasure eating here.

It’s alright that the place isn’t kept up like some nice restaurant. That’s not why people go there. It’s another humble establishment with hard working people in it trying to make it like everyone else. I think the people are very nice and don’t mind if their service isn’t top notch, it’s obviously not going to be so don’t expect it.
I ordered a Torta de Milanesa and it wasn’t as good as I’ve had elsewhere but it was a pretty big sandwich. Definitely filling but wish the meat shined through more instead of getting lost in the huge roll it was in. I’ve had the burritos here before and they were good. The tortillas are delicious. The camarones de ahogada (bacon-​wrapped shrimp in hot & spicy sauce) was way too salty, more salad & lemon were definitely needed to counter that.

The food was bad.
Hair in food (in two of our plates)
The salsa sucks.
Dry rice.
Super salty beans.
The place is dirty.
Unkept décor.
Bad service.
The only good thing are the homemade flour and corn tortillas.

Service–
…was lacking. The waitress was poorly trained or maybe she didn’t like our group. Either way she sucked.
Food–
1^st choice: I asked for a chicken torta. It’s somewhat of a staple. They didn’t have grilled chicken for it. I went with my
2^nd choice: After scanning the menu and things just sounding wrong I went with a Torta de Asada.
This Mexican sandwich was lame. The meat was super chewy and thin (tenderize that shit! please!) The fries were gross, they tasted like they had been sitting in the freezer since the ice age. The rest of the ingredients in the torta were scarce and bland.
I also tried their chicken in mole. This was ok. Their beans and rice were unexceptional and their chicken in mole was average, nothing noteworthy.
I did think their prices were too damn high! for the quality of food. Their portions were average but quality and service made me wish I could get my 1.5 hrs that I spent there back.
I’ll pass next time.

Good service and the food tastes fresh. Very inexpensive and comes fast.
