Food was yummy- they offer really good salsas! The rolled tacos were a good amount of food but not so much you overeat My husband liked the super fries a lot The green salsa is super refreshing, limey and spicy! The horchata was bad- watered down with no flavor

Note: the menu behind "full menu" on here is outdated (likely 2023 based on prices). We dropped in at 12:30p on a weekday and it was packed. Had to wait a few minutes for a parking spot to open and, upon entering, there was one table open for the three of us! We ordered the newer Birria Pizzadilla (basically two 10-inch flour tortillas with birria and cheese piled in between and pan fried - $21 + 45c credit card fee). Ordering at the counter was easy (and delightful) with the woman describing several recommended options. The Pizzadilla took about 15 minutes and the three of us devoured all 8 slices in about 10 minutes, Lol. There's a soda/water fountain (all in one) that includes plain and carbonated waters (yay)! Tip: there are no napkin dispensers anywhere and birria is messy endeavor, so be sure to ask for a bunch of napkins before the food arrives so you can eat uninterrupted :) In terms of comparison, it's so hard... Tucson is blessed. But I think I still prefer Amelia's, La Frida's, and Carnitas Los Reyes... by a nose, only because Rollies' birria was a tad too salty we all thought. But if I'm in this area, I wouldn't hesitate to grab my lunch from Rollies!

Rollies delivers every time. Can't believe it took me this long to post a review. The menu offering are quite special and must reflect the owner's creative culinary vision . Most times I opt for the rollies , simple rolled tacos. Best in town.

I've lived in Tucson for 3 years now and still am not sure about the different between rolled tacos, flautas, and taquitos. But I know I like them all, no matter the name! I've pretty much only ordered the rolled tacos at Rollies and they're always delicious - both the chicken and the potato. Last visit I for the family pack which gave us a little bit of everything - 3 of each rolled taco, queso fries, a quesadilla, rice and beans. Even sharing it we had some leftovers. The location as changed some and was patio seating but it's now enclosed which is super helpful when it's the dead of summer heat. It's a popular place, so be prepared to wait some for your food. But it's a great local place and I'd be shocked if you didn't enjoy the food.

I love this annex complex and Rollies is one of the go tos. The Sonoran hot dog was delicious and their taco was also fantastic. I also had a pretty cheesy dish which was honestly a bit mediocre. However the food was ready pretty quickly which helps. Overall would recommend trying!

Stopped in on Saturday with my daughter and two grandkids for lunch while grabbing corn across the street for our annual green corn tamale making session. The small parking lot was really busy at Rollies! Order at the counter and you'll be given a number and food will be delivered promptly. Between us we had several orders of birria rolled tacos, a bean and cheese burrito, a couple of Jarritos sodas and some horchata. The grandson hogged the burrito so I didn't get to taste it but he said it was good. I tend to judge Mexican restaurants by their refried beans. The birria in the rolled tacos was very flavorful and they were topped with chopped cabbage and quite delicious. Unfortunately they only had pumpkin spiced horchata which is a flavor I don't enjoy. It was the only horchata offered so I stuck with the Jarritos. Rollies menu is pretty small but the taste and quality is definitely there.

Someone mentioned a cafeteria feel and I can definitely agree with that. It's cute and cozy, parking lot is pretty small but we came in the middle of a day on Saturday and didn't have any trouble parking or waiting for food. We ordered the queso birria, birria rolled tacos with both queso and the rojo sauce and beans and rice. Rolled birria with queso and rojo they were good! Presentation was super pretty with the sauces. It had this sweetness to it I can't place, maybe cocoa? Anyway something had a sweetness to it I can't place. The birria tacos were pretty good, decent amount of meat. Not the best birria I've had but definitely not the worst. I honestly think the beans and rice were the best, traditional beans and rice you'd fine at someone's carne asada cook out. Fast and friendly service.

Stopped in for Taco Tuesday, and I'm glad I did. The staff was friendly and had great recommendations. It's a small menu that packs lots of flavor. I got the birria tacos and guacamole. I've had birtia before, yet there is a reason this place was voted 1 of the best! The flavors were explosive, fresh hint of spice, and the meat was tender. The guacamole was super fresh and had food flavor. I'll definitely be back!
