Absolutely incredible. Omar & Roberto are killing it! My wife & I stopped by for lunch before we made our way to start our PCT thru hike. She had the shrimp burrito - recommend trying both white and chipotle and I had the pollo burrito - get the spicy sauce. read more

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

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

Friendly place to get Mexican food. We enjoyed the birria tacos, quesa-birria tacos, carnitas taco, breakfast burrito, and chips with guac. The burrito was our favorite but liked it all. read more

Food was outstanding! It's kinda hard to make outstanding Mexican food in San Diego but Omar and team did it! Keep up the good work

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

Ended a long run with a delicious breakfast burrito at Roxys. I really enjoyed their hot sauce and the filling inside the burrito was good too. Tortillas were fresh and had great flavor. Small local spot, a couple of tables outside, but the staff was really friendly and helpful. I'm sure their other burritos and tacos are delicious too! read more

Visited last Friday and had excellent carne asada and adobada tacos. The service was excellent, very friendly people working there, definitely recommended. 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. My go to is the shrimp taco with rice and beans. The food is fresh and tasty and there's plenty on the menu to satisfy any taste. If you're in downtown San Diego you can't go wth this establishment. read more

Well deserving of all the praise heaped on it. About two city blocks from where we were staying near the Gaslamp quarter in Downtown San Diego, Roxys wasn't very busy when we stopped by for dinner around 5. We were greeted very warmly when we walked in. One orders and pays at the counter, and the menu is full of the classics. Credit card is accepted. -- 3 rolled tacos ($7.49): stuffed with shredded beef, guac, cheese and lettuce on the side. -- Carne Asada dinner plate ($13.49) - generous amount of well marinated carne asada (looked like flank steak to me). Came with really good tortillas (flour AND corn), rice and beans (both solid), and pico/lettuce. Easily made 3 large tacos with it...all the ingredients were fresh, not too greasy. There is outdoor seating on picnic tables, and the food will be delivered to you (you self bus). They also asked what kind of salsa we wanted (mild, green, and hot)..and I asked for mild and green. The server then came out with squeeze bottles filled with it (instead of the small single portions that restaurants in LA seemed to use during Covid and never left)...the salsa was good and I could put as much as I wanted...just loved that (thus didn't miss the salsa bar that they did not have). 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. The size of the tacos was very generous and they came packed with meat and ingredients. Everything was fresh and delicious, and Omar's service was excellent; quick and extremely friendly. We will definitely return to Roxy's many more times! read more

Food is delicious and Omar is very nice and friendly. Great customer service. Very convenient too since it's around the corner.

For a hole in the wall place, it exceeds expectations. With so many 5-star reviews and my love of Mexican food, how could I resist? I made my way to this place not sure if it would live up to its reviews, but it sure did. Top to bottom they did a great job. There's little parking and few seats, but it's worth the trip. FOOD: Just wonderful. Had the fish tacos (both fried and not fried) and both were delicious. The homemade tortillas just made it complete. Had some fries to go along with it and although I don't normally like shoestring fries, these were cooked perfectly and I couldn't help myself. They were all gone. SERVICE: Impressive. The guy behind the counter was nice and welcoming. He offered his help and was engaging. The kitchen got the food out quickly and it was bigger than I expected. So tasty. COST: Excellent. Not just for what you get but overall very affordable and it happens to be delicious, too. Go here before everyone discovers it and you won't be able to get a seat. read more

WOW, this place is a hidden gem for sure! My friend and I stumbled on this place after the spot we had intended to go to closed early. We were SO GLAD we did! The store itself doesn't look like anything super special, but this place has THE BEST potato rolled tacos that I have ever had! The owner is incredibly kind and helpful, as well as passionate about food and his business!! He says they work hard to hand make a lot of the food and focus on quality ingredients. I forgot to take a picture of the food because I ate it all so quickly! But it was incredibly delicious!! Overall, WONDERFUL FOOD AND WONDERFUL OWNER! :) Will absolutely be back! read more

Great food! I had the Monday deal. I had 3 rolled tacos. Came with beans and rice. Very delicious. Great service. This business is local, which is great for the economy. I purchased a cream filled churro. It was big, hot and yummy!! Nice outdoor seating as well. read more

Only the best breakfast burrito out there. My friend gets their breakfast burrito once a week and I would too if I could. I love their steak and egg burrito everything is perfectly seasoned without the salsa. If you taste all the ingredients separately you can tell they put the time in to season each component. The tortilla??? Is out of this world, they get them from Chula Vista which is apparently the best place to get actually authentic Mexican food. Also the size is actually massive and price is honestly so reasonable. Please come here‼ read more

They're so nice, you can tell they have a passion for their food! It's so tasty, we thought these are the best potato rolled tacos we've had. So fresh! So crisp! And the tortilla didn't hurt the mouth to chew! Also the mild salsas were very tasty with the chips read more

Excellent carne asada burrito and fast service. I gave 4 stars because it was $14 for a regular burrito. The location is downtown and I sat inside. They also have patio seating in the front of the location, although the trolley passes by and there's a lot of street activity in the area. I would go back, maybe for the daily special next time. read more

For the price and quality of food this is easily a five out of five . The staff could not be nicer. Highly recommend the shrimp taco. Simply amazing. Not from San Diego but if I come back, I'm definitely stopping at Roxy's. read more

Was excited to try this place after seeing all the good reviews but my steak egg and cheese breakfast burrito was disappointing. The eggs were overcooked, charred, and I had a piece of eggshell in mine. They were skimping on filling as the first couple bites were just tortilla. The salsas were good and employees were friendly. Overall, for the price I think you could find much better and fresher options elsewhere. read more

Roxy's Tacos has great service and delicious Mexican food. We have catered for our RBHS Football team. Our boys love the food.

Stopped into Roxys tacos while in town for a wedding. It's a cute little spot to come sit outside while you enjoy your meal. The lady at the counter was really nice. I ordered two quesabirria tacos but I didn't see any cheese on mine so maybe she thought I just wanted the birria tacos. I also wanted a side of consome but was told they didn't have any. Despite this, I felt the tacos were good and flavorful. However, Im not a person that likes fatty meat, so I had to keep spitting out the fatty parts and there was a lot of it. read more

Certification: I'm Mexican and my family is all from SD. Review: This is, without a doubt, the BEST Mexican food I've had in the city. 100000000 out of 10. The staff was dope and they had amazing customer service. Misc: Homeless people are all around currently on side quest. Note: if you ride a motorcycle, the owner said it was cool to park right in front of the restaurant on the sidewalk. It gave us a complete peace of mind. read more

There is nothing mega about the breakfast burritos and they charge $4 more than the Taco Stand. Ours came with raw potatoes. We asked to grill the cheese on the tortilla which didn't happen. Taco Stand is a block away and SO MUCH BETTER than this basic place. Avoid it. read more

Not great. Two us tried the chilaquiles, there was no meat, just eggs as protein. Friend tried torta and said it was just okay. Worker was friendly, just subpar that day on the food. read more
