As a food truck, Roli Roti (short for Rolling Rotisserie) has long lines in the Bay Area and often sells out of food. No waiting inside Fremont Casino's new food court and the order came out fast.
The porchetta sandwich ($13) is their most popular, made from slices of free range pork tenderloin rolled up and covered with a pork belly crust, then rotisserie cooked. The herbs, lemon zest, onion marmalade, meat drippings, and arugula on a fresh ciabatta roll make it all stand out.
Their corn-fed and non-GMO chicken is slow roasted on the rotisserie and infused with rosemary, coming in whole ($21), half ($12), and quarter sizes. The Roli combo ($10) is a quarter, and it's a large breast/wing or thigh/drumstick, along with fresh potatoes or Brussels sprouts. The breast and wing were delicious and not at all dried out.
Roli Roti potatoes ($4) are whole organic fingerlings, drizzled with drippings from the rotisserie and seasoned with homemade rosemary sea salt. Different and good.
Roli Roti offers healthier, unfried food at reasonable prices and though they claim to be 'America's first gourmet rotisserie food truck' (they were not), their food is still a notch or two above most other fast food places. I also like how they cook and prepare your food out in the open, right in front of you, all of them gloved and masked. Currently their hours are 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. - if you're at the Fremont Street Experience, duck inside the casino or if driving, park on Ogden and enter at the food court's side door for a quick in and out. Lots of seating inside and everything there looks spotless.
