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

Shout out to Omar! Love how enthusiastic and accommodating he was when we walked in. Great customer service and such a warm personality! My spouse and I were craving California burritos and have tried many places, but Roxy's is by far the best one yet. The food didn't feel rushed, and the quality really showed. The burritos came out beautifully constructed- great flavor, nicely seasoned meat, and an excellent tortilla wrap. Everything inside was perfectly balanced, not greasy at all, and every bite was full of flavor. The ambiance is exactly the kind of spot that makes a neighborhood feel like home. It's casual, welcoming, and full of character. It's the kind of place the locals know about but don't always share. Overall, this place is a hidden gem in downtown San Diego, conveniently located right by the Diega apartments near the trolley tracks. Easy to find and worth the trip! 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

Prices were on-par with what would be expected in downtown San Diego, and for the amount of food you get-- definitely worth it!!

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

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

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

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

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

This is a small cute taco shop with both indoor and outdoor seatings.

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

All of my tablemates even tried grasshoppers (chapulines) for the first time! They were on the side for the guac, which is traditional to Oaxaca. I had a popsicle margarita, which was cute and tasty. For my meal, I split the short rib mole with my boyfriend. We had so many leftovers despite doing our best to eat up! We definitely did not have room for dessert. Prices were reasonable and service was prompt. I hope we just found them on an off night as they definitely deserve crowds!

Enjoyed the different flavors of ceviche and was a fan of the super crispiness of calamari. My fav was the ahi tuna tostada. Super dressed up and had a good mix of crunchy, tart, salty, and mildly spicy. The restaurant has a great view of the ocean especially if you sit outside. Our waiter was very friendly and our food came out in a timely manner.

The bluefin tuna ceviche looks small, but has a generous serving of tuna and is very fresh and nice kick. My dad enjoyed the Seabass burrito, and my mom also got the grilled Seabass taco and grilled shrimp taco. I had the Oscars combo with a grilled octopus (pulpo) taco & grilled especial mixed taco , and a pineapple spinach agua Fresca. The Fresca is so nice and refreshing! Not too sweet and the mint in the cup is a nice touch.

We loved all three! I really enjoyed the passion fruit mule, and others in my group also said they really loved the horchata and spicy marg. For meals, I got the passion fruit ceviche which was awesome. It was super fresh and such a unique flavor. I always love getting things that I couldn't whip up at home, everyone else at the table really liked their meals too - short rib enchiladas, variety of tacos, and more. Definitely recommend and great for a large group.
