    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Asada Burrito

    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.

    Carne Asada tacos dorados

    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.

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

    You can't go wrong here everything is great and fresh. It's all cooked to order and is fresh. There's always a line for a reason.

    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.

    FINALLY tried Quiote (took me long enough), and the experience was amazing!…read more Obviously, the best part of dining with someone is turning the meal into a full menu sampling. We started with the Guacamole (a generous serving), the Spicy Tuna Tostada, and Shrimp Tacos. ALL of which were absolutely amazing. You could easily make a full meal from their shareable plates, but we decided to sample broadly on our first visit. For our main course, we split the Ribeye entrée. I must stress how shareable this portion is (it's a lot of meat, but for my protein-focused people, this would be a great one). The steak was prepared perfectly and came with charred grilled avocado and fresh tortillas. Everything, down to the side accompaniments and the great cocktails, was top-tier. On a more critical note, I highly recommend planning ahead: we made our reservation a couple of weeks in advance, which seems necessary as the restaurant clearly gets very busy in the evenings. Will be back to sample the rest of the menu since now I'm obsessed.
