The food is amazing. The taste is always consistent. The people are friendly. They just need some AC outside.

I've been visiting El Roy's since they first opened in Petaluma. I'm sad they closed the restaurant but the food trucks are great, too! They can get really busy but orders come out quickly. There is no seating at the food trucks and many folks eat on the curb or take the food to eat in their car (which is what I usually do). I've recently become a big fan of the El Roy's taco combo. It comes with two tacos, rice, and beans. I love their rice and beans. The tacos come with a perfect serving of chicken. The chicken is just a little dry, but the salsa covers it up. Speaking of salsa, I really enjoy their red salsa! But they've become stingy with it if you ask for more. I wish that wasn't the case! I definitely recommend stopping by and trying some tacos read more

El Roy's Express Mex - Mexican Near Me - Petaluma, California

We noticed El Roy's food truck as we entered Petaluma then we saw another Elroy's food truck. Both had a line of customers ordering. After driving by them a couple times, we decided to stop for an early dinner. We got tacos and gorditas. Both were very reasonably priced and were stuffed with fresh ingredients. Ordering was easy and our food was ready quickly. Our food was delicious and filling. The food trucks are bright orange, you can't miss them when entering Petaluma. read more

Not sure why, but I think I prefer this location over the other one. I typically just ordered tacos and they are consistently good and the service is always friendly. read more

Solid Mexican food made with a smile and love. We recently visited their food truck at the Petaluma Fairgrounds. Ordered chicken quesadillas and tacos dorados with carne asada, plus two Mexican Cokes. They gave us a buzzer and our wait wasn't too long. Then we paid when we collected our food. There's plenty of parking at the Fairgrounds, but no formal seating. Some people sit on the curb and eat. We took ours to go. I ended up eating half of my quesadilla cold/out of the fridge the next day. Although I prefer the food warm and fresh, it was still yummy and satisfying the next day! A tasty treat and tradition when we're in Petaluma! read more

THE ABSOLUTE BEST EVER!!! I was introduced to El Roy's by my boyfriend and we've been going quite frequently whenever we're craving Mexican food. They have the most delicious tacos I've ever had in the West Coast (and I've lived in Los Angeles!) Service is so friendly! The food truck is located in a parking lot and the best part is eating in the car. Yes, I do order 6 tacos and finish it all. My boyfriend's go-to order is the steak, shrimp, & fajita veggies burrito. 11/10! read more

El Roy's Express Mex - 6 tacos plate + a shrimp, steak, & fajita veggies burrito - Mexican Near Me - Petaluma, California

El Roys charged me twice for my order on May 8. It was a big order so we are not talking about a little money. I called them within an hour and let them know. They told me to text the receipt which I did. They never refunded my money. I've called and texted for the last two months, and while they were always nice, no one was able to resolved the issue, even when I was given a number to escalate my issue. I even offered to take a gift card. I am still hoping someone will resolve the issue and i can update this post. read more

Delicious, fast, and AUTHENTIC. Don't let the truck fool you, this restaurant will be around a long time!

One thing that's nearly impossible to get where I live is amazing Mexican food. Thankfully a friend from the area recommended El Roy's and I was thankful he did as it was some of the best food of my entire trip. They have two truck locations in Petaluma (I ate at both). The truck is bright orange and easy to find. They had a steady stream of orders for pickup, many customers just ate in the parking lot like me. I got a loaded burrito and loved everything about it - filled with quality produce, great cuts of steak, and salsas. I asked to try some of everything, which they happily provided. I had the roasted chili with onions on the side as well as pickled peppers. The spices, both heat and flavor, were fantastic. It's well worth stopping here. They have taco and other options, plus many Mexican sodas and fruit drinks. read more

One of my go-to places for amazing street tacos in the North Bay! They have two truck locations: the one near Jack in the Box can get busy, while the one near Taco Bell is usually less crowded. Both locations are great, and the food never disappoints. Flavorful meat and consistently high-quality Mexican food. read more

We waited for a very long time since it was such a long queue. I saw some ppl are smart enough to wait inside their cars since El Roy's gives you a pager. The food comes in very large portion. I had the steak fajitas and let me tell you, the steak is so delicious!! Love it. Will come again but maybe placed the order over the phone first. read more

El Roy's Express Mex - Mexican Near Me - Petaluma, California

Everyone is always friendly, working and having a good time inside cooking. Food is delicious. I have tried pretty much everything in their Menu and i have loved all . Mexidogs, chicken fajita burritos, fish tacos , tacos dorados , you name it. They never disappoint. My kids want to eat here every day and honestly me too. The location in Washington st is usually less crowded, and parking is limited. They don't have seating cause is more like a to go thing but some people eat on the curb . read more

Actual awesome biz, good prices, fresh food, the girls are always friendly and they don't mess up ur order. Love Elroy's.

I cannot recommend El Roys enough. It is always consistent, delicious and has smaller items that aren't always seen such as champurrado and it is bomb. I highly recommend a shrimp super burrito, no rice with refried beans and avocado to substitute the guacamole. You're welcome. read more

I have had good and bad experiences with taco trucks but when I walked up I felt this vibe like this place has the real stuff. Greeted with a smile, I listened to my inner voice. I ordered bean and cheese burrito I take this order to be the truth be told. If they can get the beans right, then I know everything else is great. Boy was I happy with my choice. It's been 12 years since I tasted a burrito this good. How I wished I lived closer so I could return on a regular basis. I will keep my eye out for this growing taco truck. read more

El Roy's Express Mex - This is the spot. Sorry no pictures of food. - Mexican Near Me - Petaluma, California

I won't say it's the best Mexican food ever, but I will say it's solid. Lengua and seafood options are a big plus, and I think for the portions the prices are pretty reasonable. Service is pretty fast despite the line. Horchata always hits the spot as well. My go-to is always this truck at the Fairgrounds, but there's also another one up the street near the SMART station. Too bad they got rid of their shop here. read more

Had a few things to do in the Sonoma Petaluma area today. Hunger arose and the friend I was with in this day trip excursion suggested we go to El Roy's for some much needed lunch. Well to our surprise and temporary disappointment the brick and mortar shop was closed but this Taco Truck was readily available. I really wanted a burrito but Al Pastor tacos own my heart so I decided to order both since we had quite a long drive back and I could snack on the burrito midway home. I apologize in advance for not getting pics of any of the food, but I INHALED it. The Al Pastor was some of the best flavored I have ever eaten. I was sad when it was over but then o opened up my burrito to taste (even though I was ready to explode) and I was immediately happy again. The place was pretty busy. It was well organized and the prices weren't too shabby. I'll definitely be back again when I'm the area. read more

Simple and simply delicious. I've been curious about the trucks for years, and finally decided to try it. So good! Our order came up fast (10 minutes), even with a small crowd. The assembly is unpretentious, the food carries itself. Flavor on the meats, and the salsa that comes with the tacos is so good. Fish taco was very fresh. We are hooked! read more

There's a reason they keeps getting voted best food truck! Carnitas are a favorite, super tasty and a little crispy...perfect! The staff are very friendly and always have a smile. Try it, you'll love it! read more

I love el Roy's! It's always fast, delicious and always consistent with flavor. I love the shrimp crispy tacos, and the lengua. All the salsas are really good with the different type of meats. They are generous also! read more

Fantastic food. We got a burrito and fajitas, they were delicious. I've never seen a food truck have so many people. Highly recommend

Ordered a shrimp burrito and steak quesadilla. Both were fresh, big portions, and the flavor was excellent. Shrimp and steak cooked perfectly. Fair price too. Workers were friendly. It took a minute to come out but they were super busy. Would definitely come back. read more

My friends and I brought the sopes and tacos to our picnic at Schollenberger Park and we were all very impressed with how authentic and delicious they were!! They're also a great value at a time when eating out is so expensive. Thank you so much, El Roy's, you're the best! read more

North of the Golden gate -- there's no better taco truck. Hands down this is the best burrito and taco I've had since moving up to Sacramento. And the best taco truck in Sacramento still pales in comparison to this OG. El Roy's taco truck. Soo BOMB!! Please show some respect when you approach this truck. They deserve all the recognition and all the fanfare because they are so precise with their tacos and burritos. read more

El Roy's Express Mex - Asada Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Petaluma, California

My family and I came and ordered two chicken burritos, tacos and aguas frescas from a worker named Mireya. Not only did she give us the wrong agua fresca (jamaica) when we ordered horchata, but she was super aggressive when handing over the drinks and straw. Later on when we got the burritos we realized they had given us the wrong meat (asada) in one of the burritos instead of chicken. We kindly explained this and she proceeded to blame the kitchen which I am doubting is the cause for this. She did not apologize once by the way. I am upset most with how this was handled and believe there could have been better service. read more

I had only been to the brick and mortar location on Edith St, which I see is now closed. I couldn't find it on here when I was looking for directions so that explains it. I asked the girl at the truck if it the brick and mortar had closed and she seemed to have no idea what I was talking about so maybe it closed a while ago? I do miss having actual chairs and tables to sit in along with the chips and salsa bar. Oh well, anyway, that's neither here nor there. Chips and salsa bar aside, this El Roy still delivered on the goods. Ordered the carne asada tacos dorados and they were so tasty. The best part is that they put refried beans and cheese at the bottom of the tacos (cheese pull!). I was starving so I completely inhaled them. Crunchy shells with well seasoned asada and a bonus of some beans and cheese at the bottom of the shells. So good, can't wait to go back. read more

El Roy's Express Mex - Carne Asada tacos dorados - Mexican Near Me - Petaluma, California

I like how they have fish tacos and their tres tacos entree, is served up with crunchy taco shells, to my surprise, instead of the usual soft shell tacos. I wished that the fish tacos had more fried batter taste to it as well as some sort of verde, crema sauce topped onto it. It lacked umph for me. Taco special includes the beans and rice. Carne asada and Al Pastor meat tacos, were spot on. However, it wasn't juicy enough for me nor did they provide the side grilled onions and jalapeños to make it scrumptious. I like how they have the pickled condiments, though, one has to ask for it instead of being tossed into the bag. It hits the spot, but I've had better tacos from a taco truck. read more

Stopped here on the way home from Santa Rosa. There was a line of about 10 people Sunday evening. I tried the tacos dorado (crunchy) with beef, shrimp tacos and tacos Al pastor. All were pretty good but my favorite were the dorado. The orange salsa is very good and not too spicy. Looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other menu items and meats. read more

El Roy's is excellent in freshness and taste. They do a lot of orders, so you know the ingredients are fresh. They have a very good online ordering system - save some time - they get busy. The taco world is highly competitive. Roy's stands out. Highly recommended! read more

I used to think that TexMex was not my jam. So I avoided going to Elroy's given that I thought it was Tex max. But I'm here to say... I've had a paradigm shift! My friend invited me to the new Elroy's location in Santa Rosa and we both had the hard shell tacos ... I had chorizo, pollo asada and carne asada. Which were all fabulous. I have since been to the taco truck in Petaluma by the fairgrounds twice and it was just as good. In the past, I've been a burrito person, but now I am hooked on these lovely tacos. And... Do you want to know their secret menu? Ask for shrimp sauce on your taco... In your burrito... On the side... With whatever you order! It levels up everything! There's no shrimp in the sauce... Because ewww... but seriously, it's fabulous! I'm glad that this business is growing, and it's no surprise because they food is delicious , it's served very quick, the salsas are fresh and flavorful (not too spicy ) and you always get service with a smile. If I had one recommendation, maybe it would be to put up a couple picnic tables at the Petaluma location for people to sit... But it seems like most people get it to go and that's the accepted norm . I'm not bothered by this... In the slightest just making an observation. read more

El Roy's is hard to miss. They setup shop at different locations, but I was able to try the one on Washington Street in front of Craftsman Floor Coverings. Across from Taco Bell! Definitely one of the best taco trucks I've tried! No doubt! Tried the carne asada, carnitas, and camarones tacos. So good! Added a large Agua de Jamaica and I was set. The turnaround was fairly quick. I waited approximately 5 minutes. One of my regular stops going forward. read more

I've been wanting to try el Roy's for a while. It's amazing how fast this chain is growing. I'm on a diet lately and tracking macros so I went for the regular chicken burrito to keep it as macro friendly as possible. All of the ingredients were a cut above standard Mexican fare. The chicken was high quality, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The beans were great. Flavor overall was excellent and while not massive, I was satisfied/not hungry after I ate it. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because their spiciest salsa was quite mild. Flavorful, but mild. read more

Great food! Service is best by the fairgrounds. Tacos Dorados are extra great! This is a weekly event for us, now.

Al Pastor super burrito was delicious. Also asked for a side of jalapeños and only expected some slices like you would get in a jar at the store. No, it was a whole grilled jalapeño smothered in onion. Flavor City! I'll be back. read more

Very fast, rivals fast food drive through quickness. Good ol' asada burrito, can't go wrong.
