Vegan options available. Hubby ordered a nopales burrito and I had the chori queso tacos. Our daughter had a kids bean burrito and fries. The cheese on the tacos had an interesting texture but really nice flavor. I could probably eat the cheese with crackers and be happy. The chorizo was overly salty and took away from the flavor. Hubby said his burrito was, "okay," but also found it to be salty. Daughter enjoyed her food. I had a bite of both their burritos but the bean burrito tasted like canned beans and as far as the nopales burrito goes, I've just never been a fan of nopales. It's a local vegan option that is descent if you're in the area. Tip: Grab a bite and enjoy your food at Stone Brewery Tap Room (across the street). read more

This place was a vibe. The food was amazing. We had nachos and a burrito. Can't beat $5 draft beer from local breweries. And the service was so good. We met the owner, Rob, what a good guy. We'll definitely be back. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out! read more

This place is great! The girl working was so friendly and turned the heat on for us, then recommended a coffee with Jack Daniel's to keep me extra warm! It was delicious! They have vegan options and the tortillas are huge and chewy!!! My fiancee loved his 2 egg Mexican breakfast. Adorable place with a cool vibe. read more

You know i like to enjoy some not so healthy food but it has to be done right, got a fish burrito and fries the fries were old overcooked and oily i understand places that serve beer or partial bars have the worst food because one palate is not concerned... the fish had zero seasoning... yeah not returning here again read more

Senior Grubby's - Oceanside is nothing like the one in Carlsbad. The food was good and the drinks well made, even our table server was great. The bartender though was not. Blaine is not a customer service guy. He was rude to my wife, mother in law and other patrons. Once we finished what we had we left because of his attitude, btw you have to order your drink at the bar, so if he is working you have to deal with him. read more

Señor Grubby's - Good Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

Highly highly recommend! From the service to the food, this place rocks. The vegan menu was good and much appreciated. The vegan cheese is sourced from a local maker and it was delicious. Will be going there again! read more

Extremely friendly service, food was amazing, the overall vibe is such a fun environment. The Nachos were great, best Carne Asada we have had in OSide. Dog friendly! I mean...the owners loved on our puppy and gave him some chicken (after asking permission). This is our new favorite spot. Been there twice in a week! read more

Local spot but the staff are not welcoming. Went to the back bar to order and the bartender acted like it was an inconvenience to have to take my order. Just wanted to have a beer and watch the game. Sad to see a local spot have people who don't want to be there working. read more

First time at this location. Long time customer disappointing. Wrong order given. Torta, chicken burrito and guacamole. 55.00! Nuts. Service marginal. 10 customers here and dirty tables with plenty of staff. Im disappointed more than anything. Support local businesses! Can't fake it tho. read more

*UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT* This is my first time back since the new management took over. Since this location opened, I would come at least once a week. I have some pros and cons after this visit. I ordered the 3 taco plate (2 carne asada, 1 pastor, rice and beans) & the fajita bowl (1/2 pastor & 1/2 pork belly) Pro: the carne asada has a lot more flavor under this management. The rice and beans didn't have any obvious changes. Their bar has more variety! I tried their Mexican Lager. HUGE CON!!: I first found out about Señor Grubby's in 2015 at Taco Fest! I tried their pastor and pork belly tacos and instantly fell in love....it saddens me to report that both the pastor and pork belly are not the same. Both lacked flavor. To add insult to injury, prices increased by 40%!!! My motto is: try ANYTHING twice! I'm hoping this was end-of-the-day meats. I'll be coming back during the day. Stand by for and update. read more

New Year's Day and the restaurant of our choice is closed. We drove around and saw this place. Available parking nearby too. Good thing it wasn't crowded. You order and find a table. The lady was so nice and let us took a menu, sat down and decide what to order. I got the Pork Gastronomo and my SO ordered Chicken Torta. My food was okay. Whilst my SO enjoyed his and almost finished it but it was too much and so he took home some. We will definitely come back and try the other items on the menu. Lots of TV inside to watch games. They have a salsa bar too. Inside is airy, well lit and good vibe. read more

My husband and I had a very unpleasant experience at this location. Our waitress, a blonde woman in her mid-40s, was extremely rude from the start. The tone she used with us was unprofessional and downright disrespectful. I understand it may have been busy with the farmers market going on, but that's no excuse for treating customers so poorly. We left feeling unwelcome and very disappointed. We definitely will not be coming back to this location. read more

Great food, friendly service! Dog friendly inside and out. Nachos were delicious. Carne Asada was tender and flavorful. read more

Wanted some Mexican food so decided to go to this place since it's right across from stone. Ordered the California burrito, nacho with carne asada you also have The option of choosing fries over chips and some shrimp ceviche. The ceviche was delicious it taste so fresh. The nachos were good although I wasn't a fan of their carne asada. Might go back and try it on a taco. The bartender was very nice and attentive. And he made a damn good michelada!!! There was a parking lot across the street but there was also street parking. It's small so I can see a wait for their summer days. You order your food grab a number and look for a table. For drink you order them at a bar. Paid around 59 bucks for food. read more

We had the Carnitas street tacos. They weee very good. They came with shredded pork and salsa. I also had an Aloha Warrior IPA. Proceeds from this sales goes to C4 in honor of Charles Keating IV. Benefits active Seals and their families. Well worth it. The IPA also had a nice taste. The service was great, friendly. read more

We stopped here on a Tuesday for lunch. And lucky us! We had a classic margarita that was delicious cammarones de Diablo burrito.

I ordered a whisky sour and the bartender was very rude. The whiskey sour was not good at all, probably one of the worst whiskey sours I've ever had. The food was great but the drinks were not. read more

Food was amazing and so was the service !! My husband and I were served our food very soon after ordering. The inside of the restaurant is very with vibrant colors and has a fun atmosphere to it read more

Senor Grubbys sets themselves apart with their food combinations. All Mexican food is usually the same ingredients in differently cooked tortilla, but here, there is some thought and flair. My fav is the Al pastor burrito which has pineapple, guac and cilantro inside.... I mean..... yes!!!!!! Get the queso. The Oside location is conveniently in downtown across from Stone Brewery. You could door dash it too. Lots of TVs and a patio. Local ambiance is eclectic cool. read more

I order from here regularly. Normally everything is great. I love their salsas, particularly the Serrano green and the Chile de arbol red. I got two of each. When I got home with my burrito, I live 1 block away, the red salsa cups were already bulging due to pressure. I opened one and put it on my burrito, when I took a bite it was bubbly like a champagne. It was fermented, It was old. Great burrito, Normally great salsa, but it needs to be fresher. read more

I stopped by here after an event, and didn't realize they were closing in 10 minutes. The staff was super kind and still took our order and didn't make us feel rushed which was nice...as other places would've either turned us away... or limited our selection to a few items on the menu. So I am greatly appreciative for their kindness. Food was also good, so I will be back read more

Ordered carne Asada nachos. Big portion of nachos. Reasonable pricing. Carne Asada meat was very nice, tender and favorable. Guacamole was good. Available salsas was good. Seating was nice with some tables outside to enjoy the Oceanside breeze. One bad thing was the chips were not very fresh and stale. Saw lots of people going through drive through. Service was ok. read more

Señor Grubby's - Bloody Mary - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

We were visiting Carlsbad and wanted authentic Mexican food. Reviews looked decent but we should have known the moment we stepped into the restaurant. The food was anything but authentic. In fact, it probably was some of the blandest Mexican food we've ever tasted. My husband ordered the chorizo plate and I ordered the chilaquiles. It just was not good and I did not finish my food. Also, why ask for a tip when we had to get our own silverware and pour our own coffee? Seems that most go here for drinking than the food. I guess our quest for worthy authentic Mexican food continues. read more

**If you are coming for food find another restaurant** I ordered the "carne asada plate" it came with flavorless rice and beans. And 1/2 cup of small diced fatty meat which I assumed my fault. I thought it would have came with an actual slice is meat. And for the price no thank you. I also had a cup of water and it smelled like fish when I would take a drink, which made me to believe the water dispenser was very VERY dirty. And in closing, please don't have the cashiers machine ask for a tip percentage. When no one brings you anything (just you poor plate of food) everything else is self-serve. You even have to take your plates to a plastic bin on the way out. So much for believing your pictures on your website. Highly disappointed. read more

Food was great. Staff was nice. Would recommend the fajita bowl. Walking distance to the beach. read more

Oh my word! Best carnitas ever! And I live years in Mexico. So good! Hubby loved the gringo cheesedip and chips. Didn't care for pastor but that's not my jam anyways. Ceviche was ok. Not much flavor. But those two carnitas tacos were so great this will be THE place I get my taco fix. Nice location when you can snag a parking place. Service was great. Cool atmosphere to grab tacos with friends. Will dine here again. And again. And again. read more

Delicious Split the surf and turf burrito It had a flame by it and it was a bit spicy but nothing too much read more

I am visiting and was looking for something local and close by so that I could walk. At first blush, I thought this was not the place I wanted to eat. I was wrong. First, the service is outstanding. The young lady who is also the bartender was helpful and gracious. Good service is a key to any successful business. The guacamole was outstanding. We do not like all kinds of funny bits in our guacamole. It was worth returning again. The chips were not too salty and were fresh. The food was well prepared and tasty. I opted not to get French fries in my burrito and was glad I didn't. Sounded weird. However, the carne asada was tasty and not chewy. My wife had the street tacos. She is not a carne asada aficionado, but loved them. I would recommend. read more

We go to Grubby's in Carlsbad frequently and love it! We tried to Oceanside site and the workers there did not know how to accept our gift cards. Regrettably we left and drove to Grubby's Carlsbad where everything was perfect ! read more

Delicious tacos and on Taco Tuesday: delicious prices. We tried the fish (beer battered), al pastor, and carnitas. All highly recommended. Salsa bar was great. We brought them over to Stone Brewery (across the street) and sat in their lovely beer garden. The nice guy taking our order offered to bring them over for us but we just waited and it was quick! read more

Señor Grubby's - Seating area inside - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

18$ for a new menu item "familia" burrito that was supposed to have birra beef through out. After biting into my burrito that I thought was lettuce and peppers only- there ended up being a little bit of protein and a bay leaf with a stem attached stuffed into the end. I told the bar tender I almost choked on the bay leaf and was given a discount of no tax. still paid full price. awkwardly I asked the bartender if there was a mistake with my bill as it was still full price and she said it was "the homie discount" i felt guilty that I didn't leave a tip. my apologies to the front of the house. Nice service, won't return for food. - I find it a huge bummer that such a nice place to sit down and eat at cant roll a quality burrito :( read more

We were in Oceanside with my daughter who was in from out of town. We were looking for something to eat and saw they had a location in Oceanside. (We go to the Carlsbad location all the time and love it) We were not disappointed! This location has the same great food. We all had various tacos and they were all delicious. I like the indoor seating here much better than Carlsbad. Location is great, not too far from the pier. Definitely give them a try. We will be back for sure. read more

I strolled in here after leaving a Yelp event at Toast. I've tried the Carlsbad location and I wasn't a fan. I asked the cashier what her favorite was and she said the carnitas is really good. I'm an al pastor girl so I ordered one of each for taco Tuesday. When I checked in on Yelp I discovered a free taco with check in and they allowed me to get it, even though I had paid. I observed some cool decor as I headed to the salsa bar. I got both green salsas. I received my order quickly and headed to my car. I bit into the carnitas first and instantly regretted not getting all 3 carnitas. The meat had a crisp to it, unlike any carnitas I've ever had before. The pastor had the pineapple but lacked the flavor and marinade I prefer. I'm glad I tried this place again. The carnitas here is a must. One of the salsas was really spicy. read more

Just discovered this O'side gem recently. The food and service are both excellent! Dietary Conscious Beans and rice are vegetarian friendly and there are several options for vegetarians as well as pescatarians and carnivores. Atmosphere The owners are delightful and set a very friendly tone which can be felt throughout the establishment! This is a fast casual restaurant with a great little full service bar. Indoor seating is comfortable and the outside patio is a great place to hang out and people watch. The place is always very clean! Food We have had the bean and cheese burrito, noodles burrito, shrimp nachos, shrimp torta... all were excellent! Portions are generous, but not at the cost of quality! Service Food is always delivered quickly and service is great! This has quickly become our goto Mexican place in O'side. Pros: Food, service, fun friendly atmosphere. Cons: Hard to think of one, but a bit loud at times. read more
