Mariscos El Nayarita - Watsonville

I don't get why this restaurant is so popular. I ordered aguachiles, but the shrimp had a strange smell and tasted old. I thought I'd give it another shot and tried the tostadas mixtas, but the shrimp were dark, not deveined, and also seemed like they were days old with the same unpleasant odor. The waitress offered to replace my dish, but I chose to get a refund instead and went to another place. I just hope nobody gets seriously sick from eating here. Service: Takeout.

The soup was cold and the ceviche tostada was warm; I won't be coming back. The restaurant was quite dirty, and the staff were not friendly.

We arrived shortly after they opened and had the restaurant to ourselves at first. We ordered the garlic prawns and the shrimp and cheese empanadas. The chef personally brought our dishes to the table, which made us feel valued. We enjoyed the food so much that we couldn’t eat it quickly enough. The prawns were cooked perfectly, and the empanadas were incredible. Thank you once again! Service: Dine-in.
