Roxanne’s Taqueria is a small American restaurant chain, based in Stoughton, Massachusetts, known for its Mexican street food and use of local ingredients.[1][2][3]
History
Founding and Opening (2012)
Roxanne’s Taqueria was founded by Jesse Rosen, a Stoughton native, and Josh Katz of Sharon, Massachusetts. Rosen, a 2011 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, serves as head chef, while Katz manages the business side as CEO.[3][4][2][1] The restaurant is named after Katz’s dog, Roxanne.[2][1]
The first location opened in August 2012 in Cobb’s Corner, Stoughton,[4] in a small strip near the Village Mall. The restaurant was established as an independently owned business.[3][4]
Expansion
In the mid-2010s, Roxanne’s expanded to a second location in Easton, Massachusetts. To mark the grand opening, the restaurant offered $1 burritos for the entire day, along with catering giveaways to local offices.[5]
Incidents
In 2025, the Stoughton location experienced a break-in by a former employee, who stole a credit card and used it at multiple locations in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The suspect was later arrested and charged with multiple counts of identity and credit card fraud.[6]
Menu
Roxanne’s Taqueria specializes in Mexican street food, including tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, and the Sonoran Dog, a bacon-wrapped hot dog with pinto beans, pico de gallo, jalapeno sauce, mayonnaise, and yellow mustard. The restaurant uses locally sourced ingredients, such as seafood from Captain Marden’s of Wellesley and produce from Russo’s of Watertown. Customers can customize their meals with toppings including cheese, lettuce, guacamole, cilantro, salsa, sour cream, and corn relish. Vegetarian options, including tofu tacos, are also available.[2][1]
Community Involvement
In 2016, Roxanne's Taqueria donated to Galvin Middle School's Cultural Heritage Night in Canton, Massachusetts.[7]
