Rollies Mexican Patio

Thus low key place is over the top on all categories. Now we all know they have been recognized and been awarded.... But they don't act like it. They still serve every customer just as great as there first when the originally opened. They are humble, polite, generous with the sauces lol. Definitely will be back

We came here today since we were visiting Tucson and I want to say, I am coming back to Tucson just to eat at Rollies! We got some complimentary queso and chips and let me say, the queso was delicious, one of the best ones I’ve had. The birria rolled tacos were delightful, full of flavor and seasonings, mixed with the rojo sauce, it paired so well, it was a party on my taste buds! The carne dada fries are not your regular carne asada fries, these ones had some sauce and chopped green onions that accentuated the flavor. And the best part of all was the SERVICE. The guy that took our order and took our food to our table was so welcoming and so friendly and he is the one that recommended us the rojo sauce for the birria rolled tacos! If you read this, THANK YOU! Bathrooms were very clean as well and tons of parking which is great.

Food was very very salty. I love birria and found this spot on our visit to Tucson. The birria tasted as if they mixed old birria with a new batch. They advertise tequila but didn't have any on our visit just margarita mix that was pre-made. There was a family there and seemed as if they knew the employees few came over to talk to them but they had kids that were running in n out of the restaurant very loud. Kind of distracting. There really is no table service you order your food as you get there sit down and they bring tou the food but thats it. Wouldn't go back unfortunately.

My fiancé and I are visiting from Atlanta and wow, I'm genuinely sad to not have a Rollies back home! I have a severe shellfish allergy and I'm over the moon that this establishment was shellfish free on our visit. We shared a birria pizzadilla, chicken rollies and birria rojo cheesy and every bite left us wanting more - 5 stars all around. We got in for an early dinner at 5 pm on a Friday and enjoyed dinner on the patio as more patrons trickled in. The next time we're in Tucson, we'll definitely be stopping by again!

From out of town and was looking for a great lunch spot. This place was incredible and the food was amazing. Ordered street tacos and nana's tacos. Perfection! Wish we had one back home! Cool vibes too

Traditional Mexican patio restaurant with excellent food and terrific service. We had the Quinceanera plate, birria rollies, Tuesday 3 nanas with beans and traditional birria tacos with cheese. All outstanding. Quiet Tuesday afternoon but the place probably gets busy.

I enjoyed the decorations inside the restaurant. My pizzadilla birria was excellent,.and my friend did a fried egg.roll thing. . Horchata was tasty. I would definitely try to come back for a happy hour.

Ordered to go from online, so can't really talk to the atmosphere. But the food was ready pretty much right when I arrived and the person at the counter was cheerful and eager to help, even though it was about 15 minutes away from the end of her shift. The food was amazing - we shared a quesabirria and chips and queso. We're just visiting Tucson for a few days, but we're already planning on going back 🙂

Absolutely blown away with how good this place was. Was on my way to the airport and decided to stop for lunch and I'm so glad I did. The rollies tacos were delicious and unlike anything I had before. They're like a combination of a flauta and enchilada where it's a rolled tortilla that's very lightly fried that has a great crunch but still melts in your mouth. I also had a street taco and was surprised that it was with a homemade tortilla. Highly recommended! The staff is super friendly and quick to bring out your food. Highly recommend if you want some great tacos

I'm leaning more towards 3.5 stars on Rollies. I love the simple concept. A covered patio with a walk up window, with fun murals and seating. A very limited menu, but lunch appropriate. Kind service too. Now as far as the downsides: I wasn't a fan of the menu options. A little inauthentic. Personally, I dont think green onion belongs on a taquito instead of cilantro. The hottest sauce was medium at best. With so many authentic mexican stands and trucks to choose from in Tucson, I'd never choose this.

We had seen Rollies on TV for local AZ restaurants worth checking out. We were driving back from New Mexico and coming through Tucson, we decided to stop for lunch and try it out. Happy to report it was delicious! I had the rolled tacos and a bean & cheese burrito, the tortillas are really good. Everyone enjoyed their food, and I thought the Birria meat was good, it had a bit of an interesting cinnamon and spice flavor. The rice and beans had nice flavor too. They offer 4 types of salsas so I asked for all of them. I liked each of them. This is the original location, and there is parking out front, but it can get full. Glad we stopped by!

So good. The Nanas tacos are simple and amazing. The restaurant is large and open. It gets crowded for lunch. You wait in line and order and then they deliver it to your table. Very clean restaurant! Boris ramen is bomb too. Highly recommend the quesabirria taco as well. The rolled chicken and beef tacos are equally delicious. I order a side of guacamole to dip them but that's just my personal preference. Five star warranted!

Rollies is a Tucson iconic institution. You have to try it once. From its colorful walls and piñata artwork to its festive music, friendly staff, and delicious reasonably priced food it shouldn't be missed. This place is popular so if you run out of parking there is additional parking on the side. Credit cards are accepted here with a small convenience charge. They also serve alcohol and have delicious watermelon margaritas. I've been here several times and I always get their go to rolled tacos. You can pick rojos or queso sauce or for a small upcharge you can have both. The jamaica drink is not too sweet but has tartness and it's pretty good. If you are on the fence, just go. It's worth the drive.

Great taquitos the best in Tuscon. Great atmosphere, genuine Birria rolled tacos. The best

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.

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!

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!

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.

3 years later, still extremely delicious. Kind service, great food, clean. Loved it.

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.

Small dinning room but great food! Some Mexican places give you so much rice, beans, etc. but this place is just the food you need without all the filler. Went for the Rollies but left wanting more carne asada tacos! I threw some of the queso from my chicken rollies on the carne tacos.. BOMB. Will definitely be back for more.

Service took so long, twice! I appreciate the wide menu and love a good potato option. Their menu wasn't very descriptive so it was difficult to know what base the different foods were on without asking. They have a few different vegan options, but also didn't seem to know the menu and know if they were able to add things to the tacos or the baked potato. The salsas were really good and I liked that they included both red and green so you could get different flavors. Service was okay, but why did it take over 15 minutes to get one taco when there was no one else in front of me. I would go to other options if I were to eat here again.

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 went to the MSA Annex location for lunch and ordered 3 birria cheesy tacos! They're so Delicious and come with a side of consommé for dipping.

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

We were driving thru the area and stopped for lunch. It was delicious and the workers were so nice. We got the chicken taquitos with green sauce they were so delicious! Def try them out.

Nice lunch spot for rolled tacos. The potato, chicken, and birria are all pretty good. The ice cream concha desert might be my favorite indulgence from the menu and I loved all of the bright mural artwork.

The birria tacos are good! But the birria ramen just didnt taste right unfortunately. Really wanted to like it. The food did get to me fast Not in the greatest area and the place closes really early I'm guessing for that reason. The margaritas are decent.

I've tried this place 2x. Once via pickup and once with a large group. Atmosphere is welcoming. It reminds me of a school cafeteria with a bunch of tables. Food: the birria and enchiladas were amazing. Parking: small parking lot Overall: I would recommend

Had the most delicious and delightful meal at Rollies. It was a chilly day but I loved the open air feel of the restaurant. The gal who took our order was friendly and explained our options (first-timers!). Super cute decor and style and delicious affordable food. We got the rollies of course and they were so crispy (chicken and birria) and topped with fresh lettuce and other goodies. Loved the whole experience!

The hype is real! Birria is a hit or miss for me generally - but here it's definitely a hit! We went around 1:30-2 and despite it being past the lunch hour- it was a constant stream of business. Service was quick. Parking can be a little tight ... but worth the experience. And to add to this, learned they are opening a location at the MSA annex!

100 dollars for some of the nastiest tasting food I have ever ate chicken taquitos dry beans nasty meat no flavor no seasoning big let down will never ever eat here again

I have been wanting to come here for the longest time and finally did it! You order at the window and they give you a number, and will bring out your order to you. I got the birria rollies with a side of guacamole. I also got an horchata, which was pumpkin flavored for October and it was so good! The food was delicious, nice and crispy and the guac complimented it so well. If they weren't so far from me, I'd definitely visit more often.

Found this guys on TikTok and it did not disappoint. Everything tasted good. The birria was one of the best I've had. My picky kid enjoyed the fries so much. Their guacamole was delicious and creamy. That alone is already worth the trip. My only complaint is the smell of the cleaner Fabolouso that they are using on their floors was too overwhelming and kind of ruin the enjoyment of the meal. Will probably order to go next time.

Loved Rollies and will definitely return. The Birria is excellent and so many yummy options that it's hard to decide. And the beers are cold. Loved the patio and relaxed atmosphere. If you haven't been go, it's great.

Micheladas are bomb. Birria is bomb. Traditional flat style sonoran enchiladas. Good ambiance, friendly staff. Cold beer.

this visit I seemed to have encountered overcooked, dry, firm carne asada so wasn't a fan of these 2 items but the birria fries were much more flavorful and moist but you gotta eat them fresh or the fries get soggy pretty quick. Service was fast and friendly and it's a nice place to sit and chill but it was a rainy n windy day so we took it to go. Enjoy!

Stopped by Rollies at the Annex and honestly, this location is such a vibe. Chill atmosphere, great service, and hands down the best Sonoran hot dog in Tucson. Perfect spot to kick back, eat, and enjoy the day.

Just eat here! The food is AMAZING - tacos, drinks, ambience- it is a place you must eat at - any location!

Oh wow we over ordered! This was only for three people! We were in southern Arizona for a few days and this seemed like the most authentic Mexican street food. It was delicious. Relaxing atmosphere. Quick service. Delicious meal! We loved it.

I haven't been to every Birria joint in Tucson but I've been to a lot of them and this place is fantastic. Welcoming and rustic atmosphere with friendly efficient staff and really scrumptious food. Nana's tacos are the old fashioned half moon ground beef and the Birria tacos are crispy, bursting with bold flavors and a rich delicious broth for dipping. Don't miss this one, it's a real gem and worth the drive. Period.

If not the best definitely top 3 Mexican food spots in Tucson. Potato Rollies didn't sound that interesting but I was wrong. Totally wrong. The rice and beans were excellent as well. Interesting scene here as well. It's all types. When seated the patio element feels like you should be beach side. Parking lot is tight but easily manageable. It comes up fast so pay attention room to your gps carefully. So damn good!

I've been excited to try this place for quite some time. It's just a bit out of the way for me. So when attended a football game at Sunnyside high I figured it was on my way home and I'd finally get to try it. I ordered the rolled birria tacos (their signature item) and the flat birria enchiladas. The rolled tacos were less than stellar. The tortillas were too hard, perhaps stale? Not very good flavor so they were a pass for me. The flat enchiladas were the star. Cooked perfectly with a crisp outside and soft inside. The birria had great flavor (it had none in the rolled tacos) and the toppings were a great accompaniment. Red enchilada sauce, cabbage, onion, green olives, cheese and crema. I would drive back just for these. I did notice most of the other diners ordered everything but the rolled tacos. Maybe they need to lighten up on the fry time so the outer shell isn't so over done or make them to order so they don't taste stale. The super fries, birria ramen and nanas tacos seemed to be the most popular order. I'll be back to try other items but I won't be trying the rolled tacos again.

I have eaten here twice now and the food is awesome, loved the quesadillas! The place does get super busy and that is because of its great food. This is an outdoor patio style eating place, so this 114 degree heat is brutal and parking can be a pain. If you have a huge truck, good luck getting it in there.

Excellent Sonoran hotdogs! The best in the area. Great tacos too! You can have beer and wine nearby as well as coffee and desert! Highly recommend!

So delicious-I had the chicken taco rolls and my husband the beef tacos. highly recommend!

I haven't seen anyone trying nanas tacos? Only the rolled tacos , those r easy made. Haven't gone back , I was told not to go back to his place of business.

Great family restaurant. We got the pizzadilla which has carne asada in the middle, cheese casadilla, and a beautiful sauce on the top. It was delicious. We also got Nana's street tacos and they were perfect for my mother that does not like spicy food. The servers were kind, polite and timely. This was our first time and I brought my extended family and I recommend this to others. Thank you.

Taco restaurant on the southside of Tucson known for its rolled tacos. Nice patio sitting. Casual. Friendly staff

Second time we've been here, only regretting it hasn't been more. Yet. This time I tried the veggie burrito. So good. I loved the mild salsa that paired perfectly with it. Our order was taken immediately by the friendly woman at the window, who helped us through any decisions we needed to make. Food came pretty quickly and we dove in. Lovely relaxed restaurant with beautiful Mexican artwork. I only wished we had more stomach room.

What a great find! I picked Rollies randomly based on proximity and couldn't have been happier. The place was pretty full at lunchtime. We ordered at the counter and were able to snag the last open table. There was a bit of a wait for the food but it was worth it. Best birria tacos I've ever had. Also shared loaded carne fries and they were fantastic. Even without the fries, two tacos were very filling. Not the cheapest but you will leave full. I hope to return so I can try more of the menu! The birriapizza looks amazing.

From what I can tell it looks like the menu has been scaled down. I kept looking here on yelp, but it looks like they've really cut back. As a result, not as many choices for this picky person. The food we had was really good I just wish some of the old choices were still available like seafood tacos. But give it a go, you may find, it will satisfy your hunger bone.

With out of state family coming to Tucson we thought this would be a good time to try Rollies. Between us we had Nanas tacos, Rolled tacos, Birria Burro, Family Pack and Birria Raman plus Margaritas, beer, Mexican sodas, and horchata. The Margaritas were excellent - generous with the tequila. :) We went at a busy times so it took some time to get our meals but the wait was worth it. Service was good and the ambiance pleased our visitors who had never been anywhere like Rollies. Nanas tacos were almost as good as homemade, particularly when covered in their hot salsa, which also hit the spot. The birria raman was a surprise with the broth being the star. The wife thought the birria burro was the best she had ever had. All in all, Rollies is a winner. We will be going back!

The place is always a amazing vibe! Not to mention no matter what you get, it is of the hook! I the fast amd friendly service. My go to in town.

Stopped by coming in for a week stay in Tucson had seen many reviews and praise on this place and let me start with the atmosphere it was a really nice laid back very welcoming and the food reasonably priced the quality extremely exceptional loved the whole idea of this place and the food that brings a good feeling we will definitely be making rollies a must when stopping in Tucson! Thank you guys!

I ordered the flat enchilada. It was actually pretty flavourless, but plenty salty. The taste for me was very non-distinct. The salt over powered everything. I was expecting something flavourful, not a salt lick. Very disappointing. Typical non-descriptive Mexican food. Visually, it looked like something t might give to a dog.
