I have wanted to try the taquitos for a while and it was worth the wait. Susu was more than happy to help a newbie such as myself navigate the menu and made several suggestions for me. I had chicken and beef taquitos in flour and corn and all four were delicious. The rice and beans had just the right amount of heat. Added plus, this is a dog friendly restaurant with a good sized patio for fur babies. Susu also offered a free pup cup for my baby. Service is excellent and the restaurant is family owned and run. Susu has ideas for adding more ambiance and events to bring the community together. We will definitely be returning. read more

My fiancé and I saw Roll 'Em Up Taquitos popup on IG so we knew we had to try this place for ourselves! Happy to report that this place is just as delicious as it looks. Shoutout to Brian S. who helped us order and gave us the backstory to the restaurant! We each got 4 taquito combo and they let you mix and match your taquitos. The options are chicken, beef, and potato. We ended up getting some chicken, beef, and potato. Our favorites were the chicken and potato, but you can't go with any of the choices. You can order their spicy sauce on the side in case you don't want your order smothered in it. You can order your taquitos OG style as well which is lettuce, cheese, and their own sauce. In addition, we ordered the carne asada which were also bomb. Anytime we're craving some rolled taquitos we're definitely coming back here! Already looking forward to our next visit. read more

I was excited to try Roll Em Up Taquitos because taquitos and flautas are one of my favorite food to eat. I had high expectations especially due to the good reviews of this restaurant, but unfortunately, I did not enjoy the food as much. It did not taste authentic to me. I ordered a 5 pack combo flautas to share with my boyfriend. I got 4 beef and 1 chicken. The combo comes with a small serving of rice, beans and a fountain soda. I also ordered an esquite. The flautas were not terrible, but I have had way better ones. I also did not like that the toppings weren't evenly distributed, leaving me with 1 flauta without any toppings. I got the food to go and I was thinking they would serve the rice and beans in a sealed container, but instead it was served in the same container as the flautas and half of the beans tipped over on top of the rice. The rice and beans were actually pretty good. The esquites tasted horrible. It tasted so plain and I think they either forgot to put mayo or only put very little of it. They have Pepsi products for the soda, but also had Stubborn root beer, cream soda and some agua fresca. Prices were expensive especially given the small serving size of the beans, rice and esquites. Customer service was good. Staff were friendly and nice. Unfortunately, I can't see myself returning here due to having other better options for taquitos and flautas. read more

Great food and even better service. Rakshit helped us out, he was very friendly and informative for our first time going. The queso fries were perfect and the flour taquitos were better than the corn! #flautas read more

While the wife is super friendly and the concept is clever, I have to question the authenticity of flavors. The food tastes like someone's idea of what mexican food would taste like and they're almost there but still so far off. Seeing as you can't really mess up chicken rolled up in a flour tortilla, it wasn't all bad. But unfortunately, it's a one and done visit for me. read more

Reggae music and "fresh out the grease" tacos and taquitos. What more is there to say? The taquitos with toppings stole the show with fresh crunchyness that I haven't found anywhere else. This place should have awards plastered on the walls for their good work. Excellent service. Friendly staff makes you feel as if you are being fed by friends and family. Go in for a meal. You're destined to become a repeat customer. read more

On a Sunday morning in early May, my sister and I was nearby and decided to try this new place. We were only customers at 10:41am. The staff person nicely greeted us and explain the menu to us. We ordered churro donut, 2 taco combo with rice, taquitos. Inside interior is nice and clean with music playing in the background. While waiting, the nice staff have me a sample of beans which taste good and explain they cook it long time. The fried tacos shell was not greasy and taste light not heavy. The churros donut taste like a donut with brown sugar and cinnamon. The fries are fried nicely with a coating which was good too. I also liked their Jamaica drink and pineapple drink. Next time, I will try their taco burger. read more

This review is about a month over due. My only regret of this place is not getting any pictures. We were buying a car across the street and needed a place to grab lunch and man this place didn't disappoint in the experience nor the food. We had the Tacos, the Taquitos and the Flautas... this place didn't miss on anything. I won't like the Taquitos are better than the Flautas, due to crispness, but both were amazing. The sauces were to die for. Honestly the food was amazing. The vibe in there was relaxed and as mentioned by others, the service on a whole different level. It's a family run business and the family was out in full force. Before I know it I'm in conversation with the little brother, meeting and talking to the sister, saying what's up to the brother in law. By the time I left I felt like I should add them to my Christmas Card list. I just wished I lived closer or I'd be a regular at this place. Big shout out to this family, you guys are killing it. read more

I've seen the place and finally made it in. The basic menu is taquitos, tacos, and taco burger. I ordered the taco burger which reminded me of Naugles (not around anymore) so nice to see a place have one. You have an option of 1 or 2 burgers as the combo. I went with one which came with fries and drink. I added the churr donut too. The burger is messy but pretty good. The use a sweet bun which is nice with the seasoned meat along with cheese and lettuce. The fries are nice and crispy. They give you some fry sauce an jalapeño ranch. The fry sauce is sort of a mayo and ketchup mix. The service was pretty fast so didn't have to wait too long. The restaurant is very bright and has a good amount of seating inside and outside. The churr donut was not very good. It just fell apart and hard to eat. read more

Literally so sweet the staff are so kind and accommodating and the dj was so fun on Friday night. And of course the taquitos are second to none. I recommend the horchata slushie! read more

I was very excited to try this place because it seems like a great concept and the photos on their website look amazing. Unfortunately, this place is trash. I am uploading my photo so you can look at what they advertise versus what they actually give you.. I wouldn't even be that mad except the fact that it also tasted gross. Pictures worth 1000 words.. just look at my expectation versus reality photos read more

Roll Em Up Taquitos - elote, flour beef and chicken taquitos (soda brought from home) - Mexican Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been following them on social media for over a year and was very excited there was finally a location in the valley. When we arrived, we were enthusiastically greeted by an employee (a manager, I think?) who was training a new employee. Very friendly. Immediately asked us if it was us that smelled good, which was a little odd, because he was very insisted it was us wearing essential oils or something from Victoria's Secret. Nice compliment, but more intense an interaction than I was expecting/prepared for, especially considering neither myself or my husband were wearing any perfumes. Anyway, after similarly enthusiastic back and forth with taking our order, we ended up trying both the mild and spicy chicken and beef corn taquitos, carne asada fries, crunchy taco, rice, beans, and a churro donut. Taquitos were good but be warned that they put 2 or 3 sauces directly on the taquitos, along with shredded cheese. I personally prefer to dip, so next time, I'll ask for sauces on the side. Both the beef and chicken were well seasoned and the taquitos were crunchy, but overall, nothing special. Taco was the same. I wish they had shredded instead of ground beef, but that's just personal preference. Nothing wrong with ground beef. Rice was flavorful. Beans were flavorful, but a little bit soupy and spicy. My husband really enjoyed the carne asada fries. They were tasty and super crispy even after being covered in delicious toppings. And what my husband said was the star: the donut. It was fluffy and not overly sweet. Overall, this place was good but nothing extra special. If it were closer to me, I'd pop in, but I wouldn't make the drive from North Hollywood to the eastern edge of Pasadena for it again. Total for a 2 taquitos combo (rice, beans, drink), 2 taquitos, 1 taco, asada fries, 1 donut, and a 15% tip was 44 dollars. read more

We were super excited to see they opened up a roll em up taquitos in Pasadena. We first tried it down in Irvine but that location closed sadly. We got 3 flour taquitos - one of each (beef, chicken and potato). Our favorite was the potato and the sauce on top was yummy and spicy! We also got the asada fries which were delicious. I love how crispy the fries are. The only thing that didn't hit was the taco salad. It was super tiny and had almost no lettuce... it was basically just a bowl with lettuce on top. The horchata also didn't taste great. I tried to Jamaica though and that was good. I'm sure they still have some kinks to work out since they're new but the taquitos and fries definitely lived up to the expectation I had read more

We came Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. The first thing I noticed was the entrance and how uncomfortable it was to place an order because there's no room at the counter because it's right up against the front door. So right away you notice the design flaw. The inside is fairly small, a bar area and some tables. They have some outside seating. The only issue I have there is because it was such a warm and sunny day, the portico over the patio didn't provide a lot of shade. The food. It was all delicious and amazing. Would definitely go back. We ordered taquitos, tacos, cheese, fries, and everything was delicious. The taco was just a ground beef taco with cheese, lettuce, ground beef grease included the only flaw there was that the taco shell was all cracked and fell apart the minute I picked it up. But otherwise it was delicious. In fact, I added it to my queso fries And eat it that way. I did not order taquitos, but the others in my family did. They had potato and chicken and said they were absolutely delicious. We had ordered two kids meals and they were supposed to come with chips and salsa, but they didn't get it instead they gave them rice. The rice was very tasty and the beans that came with the taquito combo. They were good but they had a big spice to them. Will definitely be going back. read more

Thanks to Ricky and crew for another great lunch. Always so warmly greeted and made to feel welcome. And those taco burgers...OMG. Thanks to everyone. Steven read more

This place blew away my expectations! I had the 4 Taquito combo (2 beef, 2 potato), spicy loaded style with lettuce added based on a worker's recommendation. Four was probably too many, but I managed to soldier on... Not only were they delicious, but so were the rice and (pretty unique) beans. Lots of interesting drinks too. Plus quick, friendly service and easy parking. Will definitely be returning when I'm back in the area. read more

Am I an expert on Taquitos or Mexican food in general? No But I have to say, this place blew away my expectations. I happened to stop by last week while passing through Pasadena, and I've been thinking about this meal ever since. The staff was super helpful when ordering, and the food was absolutely delicious. Definitely plan on going back again soon. read more

Second visit for me and just as good as the first. Absolutely loved the Taquitos! The churro doughnut was a new one for us to try and it was delish. Mayra and Eddie were nice and so helpful especially when we asked Eddie about hot sauces. We have to say our favorite was the Green Goblin. Over all the location is clean with plenty of parking. Plus there's a little table with games you can play with while you eat. read more

Love the vibe of this spot... it's clean and organized- has an open kitchen concept. we take our little guy to soccer nearby and definitely stop by for our taquitos and chips fix! The food is tasty and comforting, the music is pretty chill (not too loud but enough to still have a convo) and the staff is professional and friendly. It's a good thing when your little one specifically asks for taquitos for lunch :-) read more

Bruhhhhhhhhh where do I begin and I never write reviews. Ricky!!!! Me and my wife after a long night streaming we went to eat taquitos(a childhood favorite). We been wanting to try roll em up franchise for years have heard of it. We approach late at like 9 pm greeted by the kindest man alive named Rocky and he literally walked us down the whole menu and recommended things. We ate every item like it was my last meal. He checked on us every 5 mins with such sincerity and kindness. Such a nice guy but tbh the food spoke for itself. Ricky even said bye in his car on the way out lol what a restaurant you must try this place I'll be back read more

We've been here several times! We discovered it 6 months ago and now we go back at least a couple times a month. The taquitos are absolutely delicious, they come with the most tasty toppings. The potato tacos are great!! The staff is very nice and helpful plus they've got a nice selection of soft drinks as well... I recommend give them a try! read more

A good taquito (complete with bomb guac) is one of my love languages. I have passed by this place for several weeks now. So, when I finally tried them, I wasn't disappointed. There's no outside seating, but the inside is clean and can accommodate a nice crowd. I was greeted with a smile and the menu was straightforward. I got an order of side taquitos and a side taco. Both beef, with the hot salsa. My order was processed relatively quickly. First bite of my taquitos: that crunch, that flavor and the satisfaction was evident! Next, I just HAD to try the taco! I was equally as satisfied with the taco. But that hot salsa!! I honestly wasn't expecting much! Restaurant "hot" is usually not hot at all. (You spicy Yelpers know exactly what I'm talking about.) Not only did this have a little kick, it was absolutely delicious! For the salsa alone, I will return. Overall, these are not the best I've ever had. But they most certainly would quench my taquito craving here in town. I recommend you try it AT LEAST once. 1.5 thumbs up. read more

So bummed, had high hopes from the reviews. We got 4 to share between us. Overpriced. I had the potato. Good flavor but overcooked the ends were so overdone and dry they just crumbled, I couldn't finish. And for that high a price we could have gone to fav taco truck down the street. The reason for 2 stars was that it was clean inside and good customer service. read more

This place is awesome. I didn't know it was on the 210 out here. My usual location is in Palm Dessert. My kid's favorite location is by Arrowhead Medical. The four pack combo really hit the spot. And the full corns make this place extremely fun! Annette was so great. Love the ambience.

I'm not sure how taquitos could go so wrong but they do here. It's a good concept but what we were served was not appetizing and left us feeling like Taco Bell would have been more satisfying and that's saying a lot! Two stars for drink variety and staff friendliness. read more

Wow! This place is awesome. I parked my car to go to the pizza place next door when I heard a nice young man ask if I was hungry over the loudspeaker. I was curious so I went inside.. I'm so happy I did. First of all, I was really surprised on the high quality tacos and taquitos they have. Everything was packaged really cool. The owner must pay attention to every small detail and only hires super nice and caring employees. This place gets it. I don't know if it's a chain but I'll definitely be back. Loved it!! read more

Recently moved to Pasadena and wanted to try something new. Came here on a Sunday for lunch and will definitely be back. The horchata slusheez with caramel drizzle and whip cream on a hot day is an absolute must. The taquitos were crispy and the OG style is something I recommend if you don't mind messy fingers (worth it). The fries are perfectly salted and addictive. I wish I had come earlier because they ran out of the churro donut. Eddie the manager really made the experience so awesome. He was friendly and hooked it up with a free refill of my slusheez while I waited for my food. Will be coming back and bringing friends with summer in full swing. read more
