Royal Rooster SD Reviews

We ate all our breakfasts here, when we stayed in a hotel nearby. But it is worth a visit even if you stay far away. Super tasty food, nice staff and service and great outdoor seating. Amazing breakfast, can especially recommend the Breakfast taco, Veggie sandwich with avocado and egg, and the yoghurt with fresh fruit and granola (see photo). The Breakfast Taco was one of the best taco I had during my US trip, and then I have tried a lot!!

We ended up here because we were doing a whale tour. We were hungry and didn’t have much time to get food, but this was right on hand. It ended up as a food treasure for our trip! We ordered some carne asado tacos, a quesadilla, and churros. We were so pleasantly surprised by everything! The tacos were ENORMOUS and stuffed with the most flavorful meat. The quesadilla was so crispy and lots of cheese. The churros were delightful and even came with two dipping sauces. We are still talking about those tacos! Wishing we had this restaurant back home!

Great food and great view of the harbor while eating. This is a walk up place with outdoor seating. The carne asada and barbacoa tacos were our favorite! Lots of meat, the tacos were loaded. The fish taco was good but heavier on the cabbage than the fish. The street corn bowl was OK but a little too loaded with sauce for our taste. Didn’t care for the slushee drink. Prepare for a bit of a wait for your food if it’s busy but you’ll have a nice view while you wait!

Found this place and decided to try out. The fish tacos were spactacular. very tasty. the out door dinning over looks the marina. Dont pass this up.

The best hidden treasure ever. Best tacos I have ever had. Beautiful view of the ocean, fishing boats and wild life. Kudos to the cooks . LOVED it. I highly recommend it . They cook with fresh fish from the docks. Absolutely wonderful.

I was taking a whale watch next door beginning at 1 PM. Got there ar 12:15. Wanted a sandwich to take on the boat, but there was a line coming out of the door! So I cleverly (I thought) called them on my iphone and ordered a shrimp taco to go. By the time I got to the front of the line it was ready for me. A HUMONGOUS menu board on the wall. A zillion kinds of tacos, burgers, plates. All sounded delicious. The food is cheap. Lots of outdoor tables. I gobbled down my taco outdoors before we hit the boat! Between whale watches I believe the place was virtually deserted.

I slip my boat just around the corner from here and this new place in Old location refreshing adaptation carne asada tacos made from filet mignon 10 hour smoked carnitas OG fish taco and breakfast served from 5 a.m. till 2 p.m. until 10 p.m. daily. Royal rooster is the s***

During our stay in San Diego we visited this location 4 or 5 times for lunch and at least 2 times for breakfast! I love as never disappointed. Small...and sometimes the outdoor seating was not quite enough, but to me this spoke to the great food they served!!

Very rude staff, would not help with anything and very rude with questions, feels like they don't want to take your order and they don't want to be there, I would stay away. Whoever was at the register at 11:30 AM on Sunday, September 20th. She would not give her name, probably because she knew she was wrong

Wow this is the best California Burrito Ever! The 13 hour smoked Barbacoa is out pf this world and plentiful with giant chunks of tenderness! The fries are fresh and crisp and the tortilla perfectly grilled! The outdoor table view is pretty good too! Could only eat 1/2 the burrito it is so filling and yummy!

This Place is not Called Charli's Landing. Its a small little spot with couple seat at the counter and plenty of outside seating. Place is brand new and the staff is very friendly. Good selection of beers and their food is surprisingly good. The fish tacos were excellent, and really enjoyed their dip for onion rings.

We were visiting San Diego recently and a friend recommended coming here. The facility was clean. We sat out on the patio with the perfect view of the Marina. Our dog was able to sit on the patio with us and the street corn was better than expected! Yum! We would definitely go here again.

We were staying at the Hyatt Regency and took a stroll around the marina and stumbled across this place for breakfast. Nothing fancy to look at and most of the seating is outside but an impressive menu board and the food was fresh and delicious. So good we ended up going back for breakfast three days in a row. We visited in January and the weather was fresh but the staff were straight outside putting on the heaters for us. If you are in the Mission Bay area would def recommend for breakfast or lunch.

Lots of boaters here! Boats everywhere. Nice location near the water and large menu. Breakfast was good!

6 minutes ago-Edit I had extremely negative experience today! I was checking at the register if they had smoothy, the said no, then I asked if they have kombucha and the girl behind the counter said yes without mentioning that the kombucha contains the alcohol with 5% which is a lot like a beer. She didn't even asked my ID. After taking a sip I have realized that it has alcohol. I know the mistakes happen all the time so I asked the manager or whoever was talking to me (tall guy with long hair) to get my money back as the 2 kombuchas are $14 total. He angrily replied to me that he won't return my money and not even the orange juice because it's a money waste for the restaurant. That was so disrespectful and unprofessional as I'm a driver and he was actually forcing my to get that kombucha or GTFOut from there! I highly recommend the business owners to pay close attention to the people they bring in to work and put their business in danger because of people they hire. And people please pay attention to this restaurant as they put customers in danger! I will never come back!

food was reasonable, great portion size and within walking distance from the Hyatt, They have outside seating with view of the marina, 1 table and small bar for inside seating.

Avoid this Place!!!!!! Ordered the pork taco. Pork jerky burnt end, no succulent smoked pork at all. They should have told me they were out and sell me something else. Tried to return and the owner jumped me and told me to shut the F*** up and eat it. Getting ready to jump on a boat in a couple hours and didn't want to beat him up and go to jail that night. so I just dropped the food at his feet. Again avoid this place!!!!!

This is a delicious little taco hut! My taco-loving Texan family agreed that these may be the best tacos we have ever had. And these people love tacos. We had fish, carnitas, steak, and chicken. So.much.flavor. The picked onions are amazing! We Highly recommend this place!

I recently stumbled on Royal Rooster after a bike trip around Mission Bay. It was a welcome place to sit and look at the marina and enjoy the outside seating. I had the fish taco and a slow cooked BBQ beef taco with a nice draft beer. Let me just say, after one bite of the fish taco, I let out a exclamation something like OMG that is good! then looked around to see if anyone heard me. I got a smile from a nearby couple who nodded in agreement! Check this place out as soon as you can, it's great. Went back a week later and talked with the staff. Food is made from scratch and the menu offers a great selection of breakfast items. The tortilla soup and clam chowder are top notch.
