Roman's Taqueria
Roman's Taqueria is a taquería on Newport Boulevard in Costa Mesa known for beef barbacoa slow-roasted in chile sauce.
Overview
Roman's Taqueria is at 2400 Newport Boulevard in Costa Mesa. CBS Los Angeles included it in a 2016 roundup of the best places for tacos in Orange County, alongside long-established names such as Taquería Tapatía, Taquería Zamora and Tito's La Especial in Santa Ana and El Toro Bravo in Costa Mesa.
Menu
The dish CBS singled out was beef barbacoa, roasted slowly for hours in a chile sauce until tender. Barbacoa in this style differs from the pit-cooked lamb barbacoa of central Mexico: in many northern Mexican and Mexican-American kitchens the term refers to beef braised or steamed until it falls apart. The roundup did not list the taquería's founding date or owners.
