I remember Super Taqueria from when I was a kid and I would stop with my dad after a sports game or whatever brought us to Watsonville. I think the Superman logo is very appealing to the young. Plus, its hard to get more superlative than super.
I ordered carnitas super burrito but it was cash only so I had to go to the ATM. This gave me time to notice the carne asada they were grilling right then, so I changed to asada. The area where you order is a large open space, feeling like a fast food restaurant, and the tables are in two wings sprouting off this efficiency zone. They do a lot of takeout - throngs of people were coming in and then quickly leaving - and the parking lot is gigantic.
The tortilla was exclusively steamed, not my favorite, but the beans were exceptional. The asada was also very good. They have a blended salsa verde and a blended salsa roja, both of which were good, but neither of which especially complemented the burrito. This is a new line for me: to what extent does the salsa pair with the food, aside from its individual merits on a chip? In this case it wasn't quite a match. That said, the pico de gallo in the burrito was the most well distributed I have ever encountered. Every bite had a tiny bit. In general, the distribution was superb, cheese in every bite as well.
I ate at table and divided my attention between the burrito, my fellow diners, and an article on "Workism" which argues that work is the new religion. There were a surprising number of kids in the restaurant until I remembered that Wednesday is a short day for Watsonville schools. They were all in good moods.
Next time I'd get the Super Veggie burrito because the beans were that good.
