    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This is the spot. Sorry no pictures of food.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A Great Lunch Stop with Amazing Tacos and Fresh Flavors!…read more We stopped at Quiote in downtown Petaluma for a quick lunch while en route to Oregon. The restaurant has decent seating inside, and the staff are incredibly friendly. A really nice touch, especially for hot summer days, is that each table gets complimentary diced chilled watermelons to start. The food was fantastic from start to finish: * Tortilla Chips & Salsa: We ordered their special house-made tortilla chips, which came with green and spicy salsa dips. They were fresh, crispy, and highly flavorful. Definitely highly recommended! * Carne Asada Tacos: This was my absolute favorite taco. The steak was one of the best I've had, and the flavors were awesome. * Grilled Cod Fish Tacos: Our second favorite was the fresh grilled cod fish tacos, which were absolutely fantastic. * Chicken and Shrimp Tacos: We also ordered the chicken and special shrimp tacos, which my wife and kids loved. * Rice and Beans: My kiddos got a side of rice and beans, and they were very flavorful. * Flan: For dessert, we ordered the flan. It came topped with a unique whipped cream infused with orange flavor, which was excellent. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone passing through or in the area!

    Is this the Best Mexican restaurant in Sonoma County?…read more Don't let the simple, unfussy interior fool you -- Quiote is quietly doing some of the most exciting Mexican cooking in the Bay Area. This family-run Jalisco-style spot in downtown Petaluma sources quality ingredients (heirloom maize, Rancho Gordo beans, fresh local seafood), and it shows in every bite. And, of course, the staff is warm, personable, and genuinely happy to walk you through the menu -- take them up on it. Guac & Salsa -- I've had a lot of chips. These might be the best I've ever had. The raspadas are the move here: thin, crispy, shatteringly light corn chips with a texture unlike anything you'd expect. Not your standard tortilla chip -- closer to something airier and more delicate. The guac and salsa alongside are equally solid. Molotes -- Traditional Mexican street snack: golden, torpedo-shaped corn masa dough fried crisp on the outside, packed with savory filling (think potato, chorizo, cheese), and served with salsa and crema. The exterior crunch giving way to the warm filling is deeply satisfying. Highly recommended. Tacos ($7.50 each) -- Yes, $7.50. And yes, worth it. The 100% maiz handmade tortillas are the foundation everything is built on, and they're exceptional. I worked through a lot of the menu and didn't find a miss -- al pastor, barbacoa, cochinita pibil, carne asada, fish -- all executed with care. If you're not sure where to start, just ask. The staff knows the menu cold and will point you right. Quiote isn't trying to be flashy. It's trying to be correct -- and it nails it. One of the best Mexican meals I've had, full stop.

I had honestly forgotten why I stopped coming, but after this visit, I was quickly reminded. The service was actually very good. The staff was attentive, friendly, and checked on us throughout our meal, so I have no complaints there. Unfortunately, the food was a huge disappointment. The rice was cold, the beans were also cold and lacked flavor, and the tortillas weren't heated properly--they were stiff and tasted undercooked, which made the tacos even worse. I ordered the tacos de asada, and the meat was full of gristle. It was chopped so finely that it resembled ground beef rather than steak, and it had very little flavor. The chips were also rancid, which was another major letdown. I had ordered a steak burrito to go, but after tasting the food, I canceled it immediately. Looking over the bill, I noticed it would have cost about $20 for a "super" steak burrito, plus an additional upcharge just because it was steak. That pricing seemed excessive, especially considering the quality of the food we were served. Overall, while the service was great, the food was some of the worst Mexican food I've had in a long time. I quickly remembered why I hadn't been back in years, and unfortunately, this visit confirmed that I won't be returning. Don't recommend eating here.
