La Misma Taqueria, nestled at 15 E Beach St in Watsonville, CA, is a hidden culinary gem that captures the essence of authentic Mexican cuisine. Reviewers describe this unassuming eatery as a "hole in the wall" with extraordinary flavors that transport diners to the vibrant streets of Michoacán. Their Alambre, Asada, and Birria tacos—each just $2.00—are consistently praised for their freshness, served generously with onions, cilantro, and a tantalizing salsa that elevates the experience. Customer favorites extend beyond tacos, with standout dishes like the tortas de milanesa recommended by regulars. The warm ambiance and friendly staff ensure a welcoming dining experience, though occasional wait times may occur during peak hours. The popular $10.50 Menudo and Pozole are must-tries for those exploring the traditional side of Mexican fare. Vegetarian options also shine, particularly the spicy burrito that garners accolades from the SF Bay area crowd. With its affordable pricing and hearty portions, La Misma Taqueria is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking authentic Mexican flavors in a casual setting. Be sure to visit early to avoid crowds and embrace the flavors that make this taqueria beloved by locals.

This hole in the wall Mexican eatery is fantastic. Really great flavors. Might not look much from the outside but the service is fast and the food is fantastic. When in Watsonville, stop by for some awesome Mexican food.

Nice little restaurant. Service a little slow sometimes but there isn't many people working there so the service is good. Las tortas de milanesa is a must try, one of my favs. Probably the best tortas de milanesa out there.

The ladies here are always so nice and helpful. My favorite thing about this place are the tacos because the tacos remind me of the delicious tacos from the streets of Michoacan (an amazing state in Mexico for those who don’t know). Also, I have to mention the salsa verde. That stuff is an amazing addition to the tacos. It makes them taste 10x better!! Lastly, 1 Taco Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week. I’d definitely recommend going here to eat their amazing food but I’d also recommend to go early since they’re packed sometimes and it takes awhile for your order to get finished.

Please note parking is limited, and you'll have to park at the park across the street. This restaurant has one of the most delicious vegetarian burritos I have ever ate. The prices are pretty cheap too (please note I'm based in the SF Bay). I highly recommend this restaurant if you love spicy. The food is spicy! Definitely coming back in the future.

This place has amazing burritos, highly recommend this place for its carnitas and salsa. With so much great Mexican food in Watsonville its easy to miss a great spot like La Fuente. Don't miss out!

They have the best burritos. I stopped by in the morning for a breakfast burrito: eggs, papas and bacon. Came back at lunch for a carne asada burrito. I really enjoyed my conversation with the owners. This place is a gem.
