Watsonville, a bit different

[ WVI ] Sep. 22, 2011.
If you fly in for the traditional "lunch at Zuniga's", hold your horses!
Zuniga's is permanently closed, and the airport waits for a new proprietor.

Engine problems grounded us on the field for several hours, and so lacking Zuniga's we followed directions to a local Mexican style "cantina," which served a plain and inexpensive, and yet quite tasty cuisine. But... do not expect too much of a culinary elegance and a "cloth on a table," rather a 'Taco Bell' style food in a genuine working class eatery. Massive steel bars in windows suggest that the vicinity is not what one might call "a safe neighborhood." To summarize: If you want to land VRF and get lunch, Hollister seem to be the only option here in the vicinity of Santa Cruz...
