And there was mashed avocado in nacho's photo, but there was no mashed avocado in the actual food. So I asked if I could add avocado, and they gave me sliced avocado. I also ordered an additional taco, but it was just a little onion, cilantro, meat, and red sauce, and it wasn't as rich as in the picture. I wanted to eat the same food as in the picture, but did I have to pay and add toppings to do so?? I still don't understand because I haven't heard any explanation about it. The overall taste of the food was okay and the nachos were delicious.

Two very small tacos (approx. half diameter of typical) $10. Supposedly house nixtamilized tortilla, but oddly greasy. Tacos covered in bland sauces I would have traded for onion/cilantro. Blandest guacamole I’ve ever had. Tasted like mashed avocado.

I especially enjoyed the carnitas, and the al pastor came with grilled pineapple as it’s supposed to!! I just got 3 tacos and a coffee on my first visit, but I’m looking forward to trying more of their offerings. Another plus- they have champurrado, horchata and pinole lattes, and aguas frescas.

The Roxy signature has a good combo of flavors and the fried bananas are the best with sweetness and crispness.

The service is friendly, prompt and wonderful and the food is always freshly made at the time of order. The food is very flavorful, balanced and a good portion for the price.Their bottomless drip coffee is always from a local coffee roaster and not just some generic commercial brand. There is plentyof outside (covered and uncovered) seating along with its indoor seating. Great place to grab a quick bite or forbreakfast/lunch/brunch/dinner.
