    Taco plate, honestly aite
    Jodi H.

    Everybody in Santa Rosa talks about El Roy's like it's a STAPLE here. Love me a solid Mexican food truck. Stopped by for their taco plate especial which is three street tacos that comes with refried beans and tomato rice. Their food truck is so easy to spot a mile away, under those hella bright lights. Plenty of parking too. Many of us were there for to-go, so we just order with the sweet folks and wait around for the food. I would say that it actually took a solid 15 mins for my order to come out, which I didn't expect. The portions are standard, and honestly the food was just alright. I got birria, lengua and asada. All were delicious, but lengua was my fave. Flavors were alright but it honestly didn't live up to the hype of a "must." I think there are many other great Mexican food trucks in SR from Delicias to Tacos San Juan and Tacos Iniguez. El Roy's is a lil overrated for me. Great people though!

    My mostly eaten very tiny shrimp tacos with disgusting refried bean soup n rice with sour cream removed for.... Someone?
    Sabrina K.

    For 30 years now I've lived almost across the street from Santa Rosa Ave North 505 location. I remember when the truck first parked here, a couple years ago, Competition with our beloved one and only neighborhood taqueria located across the street. I tried the food truck a few times and while it's difficult to have someone answer the phone for an order, we finally tried it once or twice, especially when our usual neighborhood taqueria closed early. The truck's food was not bad, actually tasty, and average affordable taco truck prices. I liked that they use by default, whole beans and the salsa is tasty. I don't go out any to eat much these days, like i used to because everything is so expensive. BUT when i do go out, i expect service and quality. I only go out these days because I'm too tired to cook, not that i don't know how to, and BTW.. i cook all kinds of foods way better than your taco truck. That said, here's why I'm not happy: I knew I loved the shrimp tacos w/ chipotle cream sauce; last time i had 5 on a plate and it was great. This time the guy asked if i wanted the 2 taco with rice and beans, taco special. I thought, you know, i like their whole beans, I'll get that this time. I had guacamole added to tacos and asked for some grilled onion and pepper on the side. Plus i was ordering two regular chicken burritos that consisted of grilled chicken, whole beans, rice, cheese, and salsa. The whole order with tax n tip was $38.75 When we got it home and opened everything a few moments later, since i live so close, the burritos seemed fine, with the usual nice tasty Whole beans but this time my taco order was off putting. I opened the box to find two of those teeny tiny tacos, each with just two shrimp, topped with pico de gaillo and guacamole (that i asked for), no grilled peppers and onion, the rice, and the weirdest thing, the beans came not whole, as expected, . The beans were the consistency of a refried bean soup, like they added water, put through a siv or blender for a baby, and it was a gross pale color as If it had been blended with sour cream? And both the rice and beans had drops of sour cream or was it cheese (?) like someone had removed it after adding (?). And there were no chips. I thought let me go back since i just live here. I went up to the truck and told the guy he'd forgotten the grilled pepper and onion, and chips. He handed the grilled veggies to me, but he threw me off when he said, oh we don't have chips, the trucks don't have them, only at our taqueria. Made me start thinking, wow, our long time favorite taqueria across the street always includes chips; sheesh! Then i told him about the beans and he was surprised, asking, "did you ask for them as normally you get, the whole beans." I said no, i never would get refried beans, only whole and i like your whole beans. He says, I'm sorry that happened to you maam.... That was going to be it, but i asked, "maybe you can give me a small side of the whole beans?" He says, oh would you like to buy some? (omg we're talking 1/3 cup cooked whole beans for a Could be regular Customer who lives across the street. Where is your marketing sense?!) No thank you, just wanted you to know you got your beans wrong and I'm not happy with the refried bean soup you gave me. The people in the truck began laughing with each other, like a private joke re the beans. I didn't ask you to remake the order! Nothing. "Sorry maam", smirk, smirk. Not recommended unless you clarify everything with them and open your packages before you leave the premises. When i got home I began eating my tacos but was grossed out by the rice and beans. I imagined it was probably someone else's order that was returned. Looked like the food truck tried to remove whatever that other customer wanted removed like sour cream or cheese. I started thinking they may have tasted it! It looked like they tried to give it to me ! I couldn't eat it. There's no where to sit but your car and the ambiance is a parking lot. Be careful with your kids as there's a very busy street nearby and cars randomly driving in n out the parking lot. See attached photos

    The shrimp fajitas and burrito are outstanding, so fresh, and such a great choice!!! I truly appreciate the food, portions, and friendly service here!

    Super asada burrito

    I really enjoy going to El Roy's but their super burritos seem to get smaller every time sadly and there has been very little of all the ingredients! :(

    The five of us ventured out to find Mitote Food Park. We had heard it had moved from its original…read morespot but it was still located on Sebastopol Road. It is easy to find and they have a parking lot which was convenient. As we entered the area we could see many food trucks parked near each other, sort of in a circle. There is also a large canopy over the entire middle with lots of picnic tables and additional seating under patio umbrellas. Music was playing but we found only three trucks open and serving lunch on this Wed. I saw a churro truck but sadly it was closed too. We visited all three trucks to check out their menus and I decided to order a quesadilla at Lucha Sabina. Some people near us were enjoying something called a Tlayuda from this same truck and it looked amazing! I will have to give that a try next time with my husband because it is big enough to serve two. I had heard that the mushroom tacos were delicious so I asked if they could make a mushroom quesadilla and she said yes. She mentioned avocado would make it extra tasty so of course I added it. I'm so glad she offered that up because it was a key ingredient in my yummy quesadilla. It was grilled perfectly and I was all smiles from the first bite. This place was a hit with all my buddies too. We liked that they gave us each a beeper so we could sit down and chat until our food was ready. My friends all enjoyed their selections but none of us tried anything exotic, just tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. People working were very personable and helpful. We'll have to come back during dinner hour as I'm sure there will be more food trucks warming up their grills to satisfy everyone's cravings.

    Went here today for the first time and parking could be an issue if they were busy but they were…read morenot for lunch on Cinco De Mayo. "Niece" had Birria and I had three tacos; total came to $20. Very good food, many choices of trucks, and pleasant enough place to sit. Service was friendly and efficient. Forget the name of the vendor but the truck was blue.

    Tasty. Lots of bold flavors. Each item has a distinctive dressing. Big portions…read more Nice people. Friendly and happy. Not five stars because: Plate presentation is sloppy. There are so many ingredients that are smothered in various salsas it's impossible to see what you're eating. Tacos are so overloaded that unless you are a magician it's impossible to eat the thing in hand without dropping half of the contents. I know, it's not really a problem because you do get a plastic fork. Three tacos for $16 seems a bit steep. Relax, it is a full meal that even this hungry man with a canine appetite was satisfied upon completion. Are there better fish / seafood tacos in Santa Rosa? I haven't discovered any. Located on exceptionally noisy Sebastopol road in the heart of "downtown" Roseville. Ambiance is loud and the eating area is kind'a grimy. Though kudos to the vendors who have clean up crews who cruise the picnic tent. Glad that I tried the place. Doubt that I'll ever go back.

I will say that the seafood is very fresh and tasty. However, someone in that kitchen is very heavy handed with the tasty sauces for each item that I tried. I ordered the fish tacos and the shrimp tostada. First, the serving sizes are very impressive. But when I bit into my first fish taco after only 5 minutes in the take out box, it was so wet with sauce, that it made the entire taco soggy and a huge mess. Immediately the tortillas fell apart and instead of a nice crispy piece of fish, it was also a soggy mess. The shrimp tostada was also a disappointment that way, just drenched in a green avocado sauce. So much sauce that you could not taste anything else. There was a good size portion of shrimp but I couldn't even get to it because of all the sauce. I tasted hubby's calamari from his taco (he ordered the "mixed tacos", 3 tacos). It was still nice and crispy. He also had the octopus taco and a shrimp taco and he seemed to really like them. I am sorry I can't give you 5 stars Charro Negro and I hate to ruin your 5 star run, but someone needs to ease up on the sauce so that you can actually taste the good quality food that you are preparing.
