Senor Grubby's

Love Señor Grubby’s, their take on the Cali burrito is great. Theirs has a layer of grilled cheese on the outside, so it’s not really a hand held but it’s good. I really like their verde salsa as well. My son was into their beans and rice burrito, said it was his favorite

Since our arrival in San Diego I was looking forward to having an authentic California Burrito. My wife and I looked around and searched for a spot that looked promising and couldn’t have made a better choice than Senor Grubby’s. This place really blew us away, from the service to the atmosphere and most importantly the food. The Cali Burrito had amazing meat, well seasoned, tender and plentiful and the right amount of cilantro, pico, cheese, and most importantly fries. It didn’t disappoint.

Love the shrimp tacos. Nice selection of American / Mex influenced beers. Atmosphere is always excellent. Positive people behind the bar are a joy. Snr Grubbys is possibly my favourite Carlsbad place to have a beer. Nice place to watch US sports on the tv…

Señor Grubby’s is a great go-to for late-night eats. The burritos are huge, filling, and packed with flavor, and the menu has a lot of variety, including solid vegetarian options. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area has more of a bar-scene vibe with music playing, while the overall atmosphere stays super chill. The family bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, which is always appreciated. Service is quick and easy, making it a perfect spot when you want good food wit

This is a must eat any time I’m in the area. Tacos are amazing, yummy margaritas, salsas are sooo good, complimentary pickled carrots and jalapeños are tasty. I always sit outside and watch the Padres.

Weekend brunch and football on every TV? Yes, please. Señor Grubby’s was such a fun little surprise. It wasn’t overly crowded, which made it even better, and they had solid breakfast specials going while the games were on. We ordered the breakfast burrito and an omelette and both were really good quality and hit the spot. My son was all about the chocolate chip pancakes, which were fluffy, sweet, and definitely kid-approved. This place feels like a hidden gem where you can grab a relaxed brunch,

Yikes. It was pretty bad. I looked up vegan option in the Oceanside area (12/31/2025) and ended up here during a holiday, though wasn’t sure of their hours but it we got there about 40 minutes before it closed. We were met with: “the cook is coming back soon, he went to take out the garbage.” Which was foreshadowing to how garbage the food was going to be. lol 😆 He made the food in about 3-5 minutes and you could tell he just threw some ingredients together really fast and warmed the food up.

Senor Grubby’s was the spot for a meetup with a handful of friends. An easy stroll from our hotel across from the Pier. Cold beers were on tap and in can for the special. We had a few cans of Tecate. One of our group enjoyed her half-nachos that looked like a full portion. Standard cantina service and fair prices make Señor Grubby’s a good pit stop or even full meal and hang.

We ate here 3 days in a row because the food, drinks, and service were so great! Everything we had was delicious, especially the carnitas and al pastor tacos. The spicy mezcal margarita was one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time and they also serve an excellent Mexican breakfast. Fantastic salsa bar as well!

No table service FYI. You order at the counter and bar. Service was good though and food was great. We had the smoked chicken wings and pollo asada (in a bowl instead of a burrito). The wings were tender and full of flavor. The chicken in the bowl was cooked perfectly and the tangy sauce on top was perfect. We got a side of rice with the bowl. The spicy mezcal margarita is awesome but warning, it is spicy! The place was not real busy on a Monday night. Multiple TV's playing the game. Bar tender
