It seems like it's more of a local spot, for those who are in walking distance already. There are a few seats inside but not many. You order at the counter and they call you up when it's ready. I ordered the breakfast burrito with the chorizo, egg, potato and cheese with a side of red salsa. It was greasy and good, and hit the spot at the time, jowever i did pay for it later unfortunately lol. The portion size and price were pretty good, and the restaurant looked pretty clean overall. They had a pretty cool mural on the wall. I will definitely go back and try one of there other menu items.

The service was good however the food not so good. Will I go back? Don't think so…read more There was just one wheel chair table and was taken by people with no disability. So I had to struggle to eat my dinner.

We had such a great experience here at Roxy's!!! Omar took great care of us…read more The food was fresh and made to order. The tortillas came out HOT and just fried, which was so delicious. Agua fresca was very tasty, tacos were big in portion. The Roxy destroyer burrito was huge and probably my favorite!!! Very simple, no frills place that serves up great good and great vibes. The surrounding area I will admit is not the best but we felt safe. Plenty of metered street parking.

Roxy's oh Roxy's. Everything about you is perfect…read more San Diego has no shortage of Mexican food but let me tell you Roxy's will always deliver. I've had plenty of spots all throughout San Diego. Roxy's hits all the check marks for me: Reasonably priced, great people working there and good fucking food. One word, which is so important in a restaurant, consistent. Terrific food. I've never had a bad bite. Fantastic and friendly customer service. I always feel so welcomed and valued as a customer here. The wait is never long. I've had a variety of things here but their fish/shrimp tacos live rent free in my head. All the tacos, fries, churros, breakfast burritos, everything I've ever had slaps. Never a meh it's okay moment. First bite is like heaven. Feels like you're eating at someone's house (in the best way possible) It's nice filling meal but not too heavy or greasy. It's downtown & comes with downtown charm. Right next to the trolley. I love to sit outside. It is honestly oddly relaxing to see the hustle and bustle as you get to slow down a little and eat. I have seen some people say it's pricey. Personally I disagree. For San Diego prices I always pay less than anywhere else and the portions are generous! Whatever y'all are doing back in that kitchen -keep it up!

It's a small shack with outdoor seating, so it feels like an easy place to stop by while you're already walking around the area. We ordered two 32 oz agua frescas for $9 each, one watermelon and one pineapple. Honestly, 32 oz is HUGE, so I thought the price was pretty reasonable. We also ordered the Aguachile Verde Tostada for $12 to go. Both agua frescas tasted like actual fruit, which I really enjoyed. The watermelon was VERY sweet though. There was a lot of sugar going on, so I ended up watering mine down a little. No big deal. The pineapple was much more balanced. The Aguachile Verde was easily my favorite. There was so much bright flavor packed into it. I also really appreciated the balance of everything because sometimes aguachile can feel like you're digging through a mountain of cucumber just to find everything else. Not here. The proportions felt right. It had avocado on top with some chili salt, then crispy tostadas on the side. Everything tasted fresh. The acidity was there. There was plenty of flavor without one ingredient completely taking over. Is it the best aguachile I've ever had in San Diego? No. Was it still really good? Absolutely. If you're already spending the day in Old Town, I think this is a solid little spot to stop by. I'd definitely come back, especially because I still need to try that mango agua fresca.

I gave my husband freedom to order for us (a bold choice) but he picked correctly. He got us a torta and the size of this thing?!?!? MASSIVE! We could've split a HALF. So don't worry about portions and don't order more than you need, because it's so generous! This was my first torta and wow, it was spectacular! Everything tasted so fresh and on point. I wish I had a bigger appetite because I wanted to eat way more than I did. Highly suggest stopping by for a delicious quick bite to eat.

Found this food truck on Yelp while in the area!…read more It's located right next to the liquor store, and while parking is very limited, they have a small outdoor patio area and a big screen where you can eat and watch soccer.While standing in line, we heard the fish tacos are the thing to get, but we opted for the Tostada Loca. They ran out of oysters and octopus, so they substituted them with extra mussels and shrimp instead. I was a bit bummed initially, but the food ended up tasting really good! I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

Delicious! I was really craving oysters and noticed this truck sold them. To my surprise, they came…read morepreparados! Not what I was expecting but so happy when I tried they them. Half a dozen oysters with shrimp (maybe ceviche/aguachile) and some type of salsa. They come in a nice little bed of ice to keep them cool, they hit the spot on a warm day. I saved the last one towards the end of our meal because I was sad it was coming to an end. Definitely my favorite item of this trip. We also shared a large shrimp cocktail, fish flautas and Clamato. Shrimp cocktail had the perfect seasonings, salty and hint of sweet. Large is good as 1 meal or to share if trying different things. The fish flautas were good, they come with a fried fish inside. Not one of my top items of today but still good to try. The Clamato was so refreshing! Size is big for sharing, great flavor. Everything tasted very fresh which is so important, especially with the oysters. Staff was friendly and super welcoming! $66 for everything was decently priced 2 people sharing. Will definitely be visiting these guys again. *parking & seating - there are high tables and counter to eat on but no chairs. We park at the liquor store since it's a quick trip but there is also street parking.

I sometimes get wistful passing by the dirty dog carts. They always smell so great and I can't help…read morebut feel saddened sometimes by not being able to partake. So, I can't express how much it meant to me to see a plant based option on this menu when I passed by at the OB Farmers market. AND it was cheaper than the regular options!! Only $5! I thought maybe it was a mistake or outdated but when they rang me up, it really was only $5- for something just as loaded as the regular version. I'm used to seeing vegan options being the more expensive option, so this was really appreciated. The veggie dogs were great. If I could get this again, I'd probably skip the chorizo or ask for half as much because it was pretty salty. They definitely leave some seeds in the jalapeños so skip that if you can't handle heat. It comes sauces that are mayo based (except for the mustard and ketchup), so leaving those off will yield you a vegan friendly dog. Thank you Gus Doggos.

Doggos Gus was absolutely outstanding! From the initial booking process to the day of our event,…read moreeverything was smooth, professional and stress-free. David was incredibly friendly, personable and a pleasure to have at our party. Our entire family and all of our guests loved him. The food was delicious! The hot dogs were fantastic, the elote was a huge hit and the horchata was refreshing and flavorful. The smell of the food cooking had everyone excited and gathering around the cart before it was even time to eat. David stayed engaged with our guests, kept everything running smoothly and made the experience feel special. We received so many compliments on the food and everyone left happy and full. I highly recommend Doggos Gus and David for any event, big or small. Great food, great service and an overall amazing experience. We would absolutely book him again!

I just wanted a really good Mexican breakfast burrito and this place did it for me. Machaca was freshly made, flour tortilla tasted fresh, hot to hold but delicious enough to indulge. Inside the burrito was Machaca (shredded beef, onions, peppers, beans, eggs) Lady in the front asked if I wanted hot or mild and I said both please. Honestly, one of the best burritos I've had in a long time. The place itself is a mom and pop shop. It doesn't need anything special because the food is what makes this place special. Thank you.

The chile relleno is a standout, the enchiladas are tasty, and the breakfast burritos are great. The salsas are good across the board. Staff are hard-working and genuinely nice, and I appreciate that they keep the sidewalk out front clean, which matters a lot in downtown San Diego. I won't say it's the best Mexican food in the city, but it doesn't need to be. This is a place that's trying hard in a tough area and putting out good food consistently. That counts for a lot. Worth a stop if you're downtown and want something quick and satisfying.

The place is small and quant, and I think the owner might be the sole employee. Either way, the food has arrived fast, and the owner is super cool. I wanted to give this place a nice review because first, it's the Adobado Tacos. Although they are not prepared with Rotisserie style meat cooked next to a flame, they still have the same T.J. street taco vibe big time. Super tasty and pretty fat too! Second, the place has a legit Mexican Food ambience. I have not been to T.J. in many years, but this place, with the Adobado Tacos, brings me back to "Avenida Revolución." It's just a little different from most other 'local' taco shops. This has now become one our favorite spots when we're wandering around downtown.
