About the Business
While the Señor Grubby's brand started in 2008, We proudly opened a new location in Oceanside, California in 2019. Señor Grubby's was founded by a group of local guys looking to put a twist on the local Mexican fair. After numerous trips to Mexico and local Mexican & American breakfast spots, they noticed missing elements that they wanted to highlight. Señor Grubby's is located in the heart of downtown Oceanside, California within a short walk from the Oceanside Pier. Just north of the Oceanside Harbor, Señor Grubby's, California grub Mexican restaurant, is considered a local favorite for many of Oceanside's residents, This Mexican restaurant offers delicious and unique Mexican food, beer, and wine. Providing a casual fun setting for families and friends of all ages you'll find yourself smiling more with every visit.

Carol, thank you for your amazing review and support! I agree; the burritos are delicious. It’s hard to choose a favorite, but one of my top picks is the Spicy Surf and Turf. Yummy!

Wish I'd found this place sooner. Wonderful live music (got to listen to Renaldo) good beer and can't beat the large serving of $5 chips and unlimited salsa bar.
Good atmosphere. Good seating. Bar tooHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Came in late on a Wednesday. Was thankful this place was open and that the tacos taste great. Ordered Quesabirria tacos and a fish taco. After eating the fish taco I immediately ordered another. Nice hint of black pepper and the chipotle sauce is really nice. The Quesabirria was tasty cheese super melted and the consume delicious. In the back they have a bar, tables and tv's all around. The staff was friendly and positive. I'll be coming back here in the future.

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.

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).Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 12, 2023
*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.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Shiloh G.Oceanside, CA4461132Feb 23, 2024
This is such a great spot! Great food! Amazing cocktails... and they're CRAFT cocktails! Excellent selection of top shelf libations. The awesome folks who work here are exceptional! They are always ready with a smile, a joke, a unique food or drink recommendation and friendly conversation. There's always great music playing, but when there's an important game on... you can bet so is the volume! I cannot recommend OSide Grubbys enough!

Good flavor on all items but too small of tortillas makes holding hard. Doubled tortillas or an inch bigger would be nice especially for the larger fish tacos. Nice clean interior right in downtown. Lots of tv's showing sports and offers a full bar.

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.Helpful 8Thanks 0Love this 7Oh no 0
