    Lots of lettuce in the Chicken Taco.
    Eric H.

    A simple little Taco Shop selling the standard Mexican fare. Roberto's has been around for over 30 years. I came in for a very quick bite. Two crunchy tacos (one Potato & one Chicken). The Potato hard shell taco was good. The chicken hard shell taco was ok. The ratio of filling and cheese to lettuce was not great. Next time I'm gonna ask for less lettuce. The two salsas available are a very mild red and an avocado salsa. I did not care for the avocado salsa. I wish they had something better. Not my favorite spot, but it did satisfy my crunchy taco craving.

    Ummm I have never seen a taco for 3.75 like this? I felt like they must've made a mistake?!!! There was more meat in this one taco than 5 tacos from another place I don't know how they can afford that!! But I'm happy:)

    Great crunchy shredded beef taco, stuffed with meat! Worth it and will definitely be back while passing through Oceanside.

    Great shredded beef taco, stuffed with meat. Would definitely go back when passing through Oceanside.

    Stale tortilla chips that cost $13

    $13 for Nacho Supreme with Pollo Asado - fine we're all dealing with higher pricing BUT don't give me a container full of stale-ass tortilla chips!!! Ridiculous! $3.50 for a watered-down horchata. Save your money and go somewhere else.

    Great spot for a late night bite I got there a few minutes before they closed and they still served me Great food the burritos are skinnier compared to competitors but longer. Deliciously seasoned and super homemade tasting loved it! Definitely will be coming back soon

    I hate to write this as this used to be my favorite Roberto's in the county. It's gone downhill. This was one of the last places with the salsa bar out that didn't charge for carrots. Salsa bar is gone and carrots are now a charge. The person at the front counter didn't say hello, didn't greet me, just stared and waited until I spoke. The bean & cheese burrito was half full (see photo) and the beans weren't salted and the tortilla tasted old. What's worse is no Roberto's in SD has guac in their Cali so it's usually safe for us allergy-wise, but they put guac here & neglect to list it. So the entire burrito was wasted and my husband had to go get food somewhere else & got a reaction. This is now as bad as some of the worse taco shops in north county. Just avoid it & go somewhere else. The Alberto's on mission Ave is worlds better & the carrots are free.

    I used to come here all of the time years ago after a day out in the water and the food was amazing. Since then the food has downgraded drastically. The prices are good compared to surrounding areas We ordered a number of burritos - Tortilla is amazing so fresh but thats about it The Burritos were salty and no real flavor. Never again.

    3/21/22 A few bites in to see the goodness inside my Surf & Turf Burrito
    Lea L.

    Stumbled across Roberto's Tacos Shop 13 while leaving SD due to having a couple of companions complaining that we forgot to pick up some Cali Burritos. There are plenty of Hispanic restaurants all over, but this was the last stop for a place ending in -berto's in Oceanside. Gotta stop at a Berto's spot while in SD of course! The lady that was taking our orders seemed friendly & fast. We ordered 7 Cali Burritos. I ordered a Surf & Turf. Our to go orders were ready in good time & bagged up with sauces. Walking back to the car I could not wait & I quickly took my Surf & Turf burrito out & bit into it. It was fresh & hot. I was curious to see if I was going to get potatoes or actual French fries in it. Yup! Hot, fresh, crunchy, just fried French fries. So Good! I was glad I was able to have a few bites. Before heading back to the 805. Burritos were huge & thick... The side sauces that came with it were different than I'm used to. One was green & one was orange. It was okay, not my favorite. But, it worked with my Surf & Turf... Leftovers were still tasty the next day & a few days after according to the recipients... I would def come back to try more off the menu the next time I'm in SD.

    Gotta give the small business some love when they deliver. If you're in Oceanside and need a quick meal with that homemade, your abuelita and joventino home cookin feeling... look no further. This spot cooks up some solid Mexican food. I came in for breakfast burritos and didn't leave disappointed. Small, local feel. Cooks choppin it up in the back and FLAVOR. Swing by for a visit and support the family. You won't be disappointed!

    Beef Taco
    Amber M.

    Roberto's in Oceanside is the first fast food taco shop I ever tried in the 80's. This Roberto's taco shop #13 will always have a special place in my heart. Fun fact they had a previous location in the 80-90's and moved to the current location in the 2000's! The food is still quality. The machacha platter is my absolute favorite with lots of shredded beef, grilled veggies and egg. The beef taco's are pilled full of beef, cheese and iceberg lettuce. My kids love the cheese quesadillas and bean burritos. Big bang for your Buck!

When I'm trying to decide on where to eat, Tanner's is always up for consideration. My go-to is the double burger with no cheese and no sauce. They give you the sauce on the side if you want to put some on, but I find it better without it. Pairing it with one of their refreshing beers (N/A from Best Day Brewing available) and their beef tallow fries is perfection. I'm not a fan of their Fatty Patty, a cookie ice cream sandwich -- it's weirdly too fatty of a mouth feel. I really wish they would sell the cookies by themselves. I had them at a different event, and I've wished for more beef tallow choc chip cookies since. If I liked baking, I'd get a tub of their beef tallow (yup, it's for sale) and make them myself. Hint hint to any bakers out there. And if you've read this far, I'll give up one of my hacks. Skip the line and sit at the bar. You can order full menu from there. Even if there's only one seat, you can sit there with a beer and put in your full party's order. Enjoy!!

Recommended by a coworker I recently had the pleasure of visiting MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes. With so many options I always love to go the traditional route on any first time visit to get a sense of the meat quality, toppings and bun taste. Their signature burger is the MDC which consists of a Double Certified Angus Beef, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, MOOYAH Sauce on a Signature Potato Bun. This burger was perfect, two good sized beef patties cooked to perfection, melted cheese and just enough sauce to not overtake all the goodness. The bun really stood out as MOOYAH uses a potato bun and it was really fresh and buttery. I think the bun is a difference maker in terms standing out from other burgers I have had in the past. With a combo you get a generous portion of fries which were decent as well as a refillable soda cup. This combo meal got me stuffed and the value was spot on. Definitely put MOOYAH on your hamburger destination list as you will not be disappointed with its vast menu of burger options. Fun fact about Mooyah is that they started in Texas and this Carlsbad location is the first in California as part of the westward expansion.

Red Rooster sports bar has been serving the community of Oceanside for over 60 years. Even though they recently had a change of ownership, the new owners are also local and they left local management in charge. This effectively means that nothing has changed, and they are still providing some of the best bar, food and ambience, as well as drinks! They just cleaned up the bathrooms and a little bit of the interior decor. When it comes to food, the Red Rooster is known for their famous Rooster Burger. This burger is legendary within the community. I also love their crispy fries that are well seasoned. More recently, they have also added $.69 chicken wings on Wednesdays. This deal is available with the purchase of a beer. They also have cider available as well. Although they have a few basic flavors on their regular chicken wing menu, on Wednesdays, they add a lot more flavors to the special. These sauce, flavors alternate weekly, and it adds a nice variety. Most recently, I enjoyed the teriyaki, the bourbon bbq, honey mustard, general tso and my favorite is the lemon pepper. The interior looks much like a divey sports bar, equipped with one pool table and a few high-table seating available. There is also a backyard seating area with a fire pit, that is also fenced off. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Red Rooster at least once to experience their burger, their chicken wings, and a small piece of historic Oceanside vibes.
