I've had catering from Roxy's Tacos at nearly a dozen events now and figured it was high time I wrote a review. Their street tacos are excellent! A plate of 3 tacos (pollo, carne asada, and carnitas) plus rice and beans is a perfect amount of food - filling but not oversized. Add the tasty salsa and a cup or horchata, and you're in for a perfect meal! I look forward to events that I know Roxy's is going to be at. Seriously, this is some tasty food and friendly service from a family-owned local business. If I ever get married, I want to hire them for a late-night taco stand, or maybe even for the main meal tbh. In the meantime, I'll keep recommending them to others and maybe stop by their brick and mortar location sometime! read more

This catering company really stood out. The setup was extremely clean with a modern gray aesthetic that felt elevated and just really well put together. Definitely not your average taco catering. The food was fresh and you can tell it was quality. The tortillas were not the typical store ones, they tasted fresh and made a big difference. The Mexican rice and beans were both delicious. Mexican rice is usually hit or miss at taco spots but theirs was actually flavorful and cooked right. They also had chips and different sauces with a nice level of spice and flavor, which you don't always see with taco catering. It was just overall a step above. What really made it for me was the owners. They were engaging, in a good mood, and you can tell they enjoy what they do. To me that matters because food hits different when it's made with good energy. I would definitely recommend them if you want something better than the usual taco catering experience. read more

This was our first stop on our Taco Crawl, and it set the bar high. Eliza greeted us as soon as we walked in. She was incredibly friendly and helped us navigate the menu. While we waited for our order, we mentioned that we were doing a Taco Crawl, and she immediately offered recommendations and even had the owner come out to share his favorites. (Check out my other reviews for the rest of the crawl.) The restaurant is small, with a few seats inside and additional tables outside along the sidewalk. There's also a small cooler with drinks. We ordered a carne asada taco so we could compare the same taco at every stop. This one was excellent and our favorite. The taco had flavorful meat with just the right amount of cilantro, onion, and green sauce. They also offer three different hot sauces, all family recipes, and each one was delicious. Eliza mentioned that her favorite meat is the carnitas, and even though we didn't order it, she brought out a small sample for us to try. Wow. The carnitas were incredible--honestly even better than the carne asada. When we're back in San Diego, we'll definitely return to Roxy's. It's a must‑stop spot for anyone craving great tacos. read more

Came here for some tacos and we were in luck because they have previous tacos only on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays. Tacos were five dollars each. Decent size tacos, slightly bigger than a street taco. The service was quick. The staff was friendly. There are seating outside. read more

I got a steak breakfast burrito. I was impressed even though it's a simple item. It was quite hot when I got it, which I love. The steak was tender and juicy and had some peppery seasoning that was scrumptious. The egg was fluffy. The wrap was very solid, stayed intact and nothing dripping out the bottom even with all the juices. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the inside. For the salsa, they give you the whole bottle rather than a little cup. The green salsa was more than just green liquid and had a lot of flavor in it. The only negative thing I can think of might be the location. It does have a lot of the.....characteristics of a downtown location, including nearby construction and parking probably isn't the most convenient. read more

Food, service, my corona- first stop off the plane after being away from home for 7 years- and well worth it. Omar made it better! Thank you

This place was so delicious! We ordered the carnitas, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito & the bean and cheese burrito. both were absolutely HUGE!! service was quick & the server was super friendly, helpful, and patient while we were making our order. Prices were on-par with what would be expected in downtown San Diego, and for the amount of food you get-- definitely worth it!! I really appreciated the outside seating area, lots of spaces to sit & cute decorations. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Ya know. If my sister hadn't found this place helplessly searching for tacos while we were walking downtown at night, we would not have gone. I don't believe this place has ever popped up as a recommended place in my Yelp searches and I'm never really in this part of downtown to have seen it. It's so easy to miss...BUT DEF WORTH THE STOP!! I can't remember my guy's name but he was such a gem. Greeted us with a smile. Jokes. His favorites on the menu. We got all the tacos. Fish, carne asada, and quesabirria tacos. All delicious. Surprisingly the fish taco was my absolute favorite! Good job Roxy's!! read more

I was visiting San Diego with a friend for the weekend and Roxy's tacos was recommended! The gentleman at the counter answered every single one of our questions. The food came out in a very timely manner, it is pretty straightforward when it comes to presentation and vibes. The city has a lot of unhoused people, so if you are not picking up and going to your own place, the outside sitting area is very clean and has fun, lighting, but you will see and hear a lot of extra noise. read more

After a long day at Balboa Park I was craving tacos. San Diego has such authentic Mexican food. I stumbled upon Roxy's on Google. When we got there it was a cute small shop. The server was the owner and there was one cook. I ordered the three tacos and my partner ordered the burrito. I swear we didn't talk for the whole meal because we were so enthralled with our food. I wanted some hot sauce for my tacos and there were three options. A green mild one, one red medium and one red hot one. The owner told me his favorite and said that the hot one was spicy. It was my favorite of the three. Not too spicy where it was the dominate flavor but it was just enough to give my tacos a kick. He was very nice and sparked conversations with the customers. Can't wait to go back. read more

Omar was amazing! So kind & inviting! Best burrito of the trip! Definitely try the destroyer & the birria tacos!

The food and service will not disappoint! Omg the flavor and freshness of the food are so lovely. The prices are affordable as well. If you are looking for a great authentic Mexican cuisine this place is a must for you. read more

Last Sunday our church held a class right after service and offered the attendees tacos for lunch. It was catered by Roxys Tacos and the street tacos (chicken, pork adovada, carne asada) were delicious. Love the tortillas and tortilla chips (tasted like the tortillas but fried). Rice and beans were classic and the condiments were plentiful with many options, The guacamole was saucy texture but good. Definitely would have them cater for me, read more

Roxys Tacos - Outside - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Kind of strange location but it ended up being really good. We parked on the street, which wasn't honestly the greatest part of downtown, but you have to walk around the side of the building to find the façade right next to the trolley. Really cute patio space with several tables, unfortunately it was pretty chilly so we decided to eat inside where there is enough space for maybe five or six people to eat at the counter. They had the television on with the children's show and it was super loud. There was also loud music that we could hear from the Patio so it was a bit overstimulating. The gentleman working told us that the burritos were in his opinion the best thing there. He was not lying, my shrimp burrito was fantastic! It wasn't the biggest burrito I've ever had, but that tortilla was delicious and toasted just right. The shrimp was so juicy and cooked, absolutely perfectly, not overcooked at all, which is common. The salsas were really good too. The burritos were a couple dollars more than they usually are in other parts of town, but hey, these are downtown prices. If you want to pay less, you've gotta go somewhere else. Nice to know there's a decent taco shop in that area! read more

Roxys Tacos - Fish Tacos with chipotle sauce. - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

I rarely feel super compelled to write reviews, but this was easily some of the best Mexican food I've ever had, especially as someone who has spent a lot of time in Mexico. The owner was awesome and so friendly; he told me that he gets his ingredients from Tijuana and you can taste the authentic difference 1000%. It's a family run business and you can truly see and taste how much love and care they put into the food. The michelada and custom potato burrito that I had were OUT OF THIS WORLD. Super flavorful, rich but clean, and delicious food. The fluffy tortillas they use and the breakfast potatoes just melt in your mouth. The salsas are also absolute fire! I'm vegan and I really appreciated the owner letting me know that they don't have vegetarian beans, so I did my burrito without beans and didn't miss them at all. Also so happy that they made sure my burrito, with limited ingredients, was still huge! Not at all like most places that will overcharge you for a veggie burrito and then it comes out tiny. If I lived here I would be here constantly, but I already can't wait to return! Do yourself and your taste buds a favor, don't even think about it, if you love good Mexican food just GO! read more

After visiting SD several times over the years, I've come to accept that it is tricky to find solid tacos for less than $4-5. This place was quite a bit off the beaten path (code word: not the best part of town). Staff were friendly and ambience was nice, with nice outdoor patio seating, although the view is the light rail and very interesting characters walking by frequently. The tacos were delicious and good portion- although total for two tacos (fried fish and adobada) came out to $14+. read more

Paid Street parking, a bit of a hidden gem downtown. The shrimp burrito was definitely really large and worthy of the price. All menu prices are shown in cash so don't be surprised about a credit card up charge. Burrito came with an option of two sauces, a white crema or the chipotle sauce. The chipotle sauce came recommended by the server for a bit of a kick. Each burrito has different fillings, for example the shrimp burrito did not have guac, but the carne asada one did. You cannot substitute any of the ingredients in the burrito. Additionally, I had asked for no cheese but there was still cheese, which I wasn't entirely pleased about but it happens. If you have serious dietary restrictions, just make sure you're adamant about not having a certain ingredient. Not the best neighborhood spot to sit and eat unfortunately, but definitely a good spot to go to for a takeout! Outdoor and indoor seating. read more

The food and the service at Roxy's Tacos are absolutely amazing. We ordered fried and grilled fish tacos plus a couple of chicken asada tacos.

We will definitely return to Roxy's many more times! read more

Tasty adobada tacos! Delicious onion and cilantro, and the red and green salsas are tangy, nice and thick- not watery like the place next door. The mild red one had a good kick to it. Really enjoyed my tacos. They tell me they've been open five years. I had never heard of them before. They have excellent lunch specials during the week. I grabbed two adobadas and took my lunch to harbor island to enjoy the beautiful sunny day before the rain comes later this week. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area! read more

Absolutely delicious food and incredible friendly service. Roberto and his brother are absolutely amazing in their restaurant and are so genuinely kind and gracious.

If you're in downtown San Diego you can't go wth this establishment. read more

This is a small cute taco shop with both indoor and outdoor seatings. I'm glad we stopped by here for their carne asada breakfast burrito, normally it would be loaded with filler like hashbrown or potatoes but this place put decent amount of meat, and eggs. I really love the spicy salsas (they have 3 different kind), really flavorful not bland like most places. The 2 guys that work there were really nice, quickly took our order and brought the food out for us. Keep in mind that you have to pay for street parking but it was only $1.25/hour. If you go early then you won't have a hard time finding parking. read more

Roxy's Tacos is a small shop off of C Street in downtown San Diego. I had been wanting to try this place for a while but the lack of parking in the area really made it difficult to justify. Since I was down in the area for jury duty it was a perfect opportunity and, boy, I was not disappointed. When I arrived I was greeted enthusiastically by a young lady working behind the counter who was helping some other guests. It gave me an opportunity to look over the menu for a bit. When it was my turn I chose the Carne Asada Burrito and a single Birria Taco because I wanted to try their birria. I also ordered a Mexican Coke. They have three different salsas, a spicy red, a red and a green. When asked I just said I wanted to spicy and red but the employee asked if I wanted to try the green too so I said yes. When the food came out I immediately knew I ordered too much. The Birria Taco was a good size and had a really large portion of Birria on it. It comes in the traditional way with onions and cilantro. I am a bit of a Birria snob and was prepared not to like it but it was extremely flavorful and there wasn't a lot of fat like you find in some Birria. I was impressed and think it's the best one I've had outside of Mexico. The burrito was really large and the carne asada was tender and well marinated. Of the salsas my favorite ended up being the green which was another surprise as I typically don't love green salsas. In this one the flavor just really popped in your mouth and made my taste buds tingle. The spicy and the red ones were okay too but the green was the standout. I was told it was a family recipe from Mexico. I definitely recommend giving Roxy's a shot if you're in the area. It's delicious. read more

Welcoming service. Nice outdoor picnic area. That carne asada/shrimp taco? YUM! I could eat a half dozen of those! The pollo quesadilla? Eh, it would taste better with a different cheese, maybe pepper jack. Horchata, please. Interesting that they make and cup it...I'm accustomed to the rice/cinnamon stir right before getting it. It was good though. Don't walk down tenth, if avoiding homeless encampments. They're located on the Metro route. read more

Sometimes it's 5, and sometimes it's a 3.5-4. Today, it was just about a 3.5. The surf tacos are done perfectly every time. My biggest issue is the inconsistency of the burritos. Park on 8th, meters only. Attention: Trying to get Yelp to update their hours as they open at 8:30 now. They used to open at 7:15am, as I was the one who previously updated their hours. After showing up at 7:15am, and waiting about 20 minutes, there was no sign of opening, so off I went. Fast forward a few hours, and I was still craving a repeat of that awesome Roxy's "Mega" breakfast burrito I had a few days prior. Although it was a pretty fat and delicious burrito the other day, I say "mega" because it's truly not that mega. What makes it mega you might ask...well, it's the same as their regular breakfast burrito, but it comes with ham and bacon, instead of either or....mega??? I'm just giving food for thought, but perhaps "Mega" would make it a two tortilla monstrosity with double all the fixins'. Or maybe mega means it gets the two meats with added beans and sour cream. Or heck, maybe it's like a breakfast destroyer and comes with bacon, ham, and steak. Those are just my suggestions as a burrito that came in weighing under one pound, felt anything but mega. Today's burritos were smaller and they seemed to be lacking the flavor the one the other day had. Roxy's can deliver some really delicious and fresh tasting food, however sometimes they fall short of what they're capable of. A little more consistency and they'll be getting the recognition they deserve. Thanks Roxy's! We'll see you again. read more
