El Herradero is a little neighborhood cafe type place with a fresh fruit juice bar. It has perhaps the lowest online profile among the results of a map search for "burritos" in Watsonville. Such a search, by the way, is the traditional start of my weekly burrito lunch venture. El Herradero is one of the places at which super burrito is not the star of the menu. They're still happy to make one though.
They were out of the pork option I ordered, so I picked the other pork (I can't remember which at this point a few weeks later). The burrito felt very homemade, which I find coincides with a place that specializes in other things, and which in reality means the ingredients are good but the proportions and distribution are off. The rice was good. There was oregano and chile de arbol in little dishes on the table, which probably points toward pozole being a smart order... next time!
I would definitely come back just to sit in there, it made me wish I lived down the street.
Next time I'd order a soup or a special plato.
