Okay I went again today because I really wanted to try the chicken rolled tacos. I ordered online through their website and it does give you a pickup time, unfortunately it wasn't ready once again. I ended waiting 10-15 minutes there for my food. It was really busy inside and a lot of tables didn't have food yet. I wanted to give them another shot but unfortunately their time management isn't up to par. The food is great!! A few suggestions would be to hire more staff in front of house to clean tables, take orders and help customers. I think they're working in a small kitchen so maybe better communication with the cooks? And my last thing is how you plate, the rice and beans shouldn't be on a plastic thin plate covered in foil, as you can see my beans were stuck to it. Just some minor adjustments, overall I love your food, I love the flavors.

This was a fun spot to grab lunch! My work group of 12 and I arrived around 12:00 pm and it was mildly busy. We put in our order pretty fast and got our food even faster! They were friendly and answered any questions we had. I ordered the Birria fries and they were pretty good although they did get soggy fast :/ They were also somewhat sweet and I think it was the type of seasoning they fries had. My friend got the Rollies de papa and she said they were good. The prices are a bit high to be honest... Overall, I'd return to try something else in the menu.

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!

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.

Great food. Very tasty. You order at the counter and sit or leave. There isn't enough parking for the seats but there seems to be parking nearby. We had a mix of rolled tacos and they were very tasty covered in a red sauce or a quest sauce. They come with one side, so its extra to get rice and beans. I'll go again.

The World Famous Rollies Sonoran Hotdog!!

Stopped by Rollies in Tucson and went straight for the Sonoran Dog--and it did not disappoint. Perfectly grilled, loaded with flavor, and exactly what you want from a classic Tucson bite. Pro tip: add the spicy pepper with the seeds if you want a real kick --it takes the whole thing to the next level. The outdoor ambiance was a very cool, communal vibe--laid-back, social, and the kind of place where everyone's just enjoying good food together. Add in the lovely, friendly staff, and it's an all-around great stop that feels as good as it tastes.

We went on a Monday right after the lunch rush. Divey, old school place with excellent food. Don't know if they have a printed menu, but we just looked online. You order at the window and they bring the food to you. We had the brillo flat enchiladas and brillo sumo. Both were excellent.

Yummy!

What can I say? The food and staff were great. We tracked from CA to try this place ,South Tucson has rhe best Mexican food so we were told. This resultant is famous for its rolled tacos. I had no idea what to order and the staff picked out our lunch. We had tried two Rollies -chicken and potato - both were wonderful . We also had the chili sumo...... this as the star of the meal for my wife. She loved the balance of heat want tenderness of the meat. I had to agree they were wonderful. You must go here is you are ever in Tucson- let the woman at the cash register know the California forks with the black scruffy dog named Sassy sent you and ask her to pic your order. You won't be disappointed!

Birria Birria Street Taco, Queso Fries
Gretchen P.

We took advantage of their January happy hour specials and tried practically everything on the menu- the perfect spot after a stressful week. Staff are so friendly and accommodating as we realized we needed to order consommé to complete our Burris taco order. The queso fries are perfect split between 3, with a good helping of meat, and the chips, queso and multiple spice levels of salsa completed the order. Their $5 margaritas were perfect- not too strong but a good accompaniment to remember it's 5oclock!

What a cool place on 12th Ave! Initially, we passed it while driving, but with the help of Google maps we were able to find it pretty easily. Nighttime was a really cool experience as the restaurant is lit up and boosts an intimate experience. From the music to the cute patio, indoor layout, we were impressed. The menu was small, and we chose birria ramen, tacos, and the chimi sumo appetizer that also has birria. We didn't love the birria here, so it didn't help that it was in all 3 things we ordered.. I do wish there were other protein options. Anyway, ordering was quick and easy as they have a hanging lit menu and a window you can order from. The music was good too!

By far the best Mexican food I'm pretty sure I have ever had The birra cheese tacos And ramen were mind blowing The flat enchiladas were amazing All their sauces they give you Totally awesome And the service it couldn't get no better we will be back a lot Next time, we'll try the keto tacos

Nanas tacos
Jodi W.

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.

I have always had a really good experience with the food at Amelia's. We have gone for their brunch…read moreas well as their dinner, and I think they have a great refried beans recipe! If you are able to go for brunch, I would recommend getting the Chilaquiles with both the red and green sauce! You will not be going wrong with this. I am relatively vegetarian, and so if you don't eat lard, you can also get the black beans as another vegetarian option!

Came here off of a recommendation, and while it was decent, it definitely didn't live up to the…read morehype. When we entered the restaurant, I was immediately impressed with all of the accolades that Amelia's Kitchen seems to have accrued over the years. Maybe that set my expectations too high. We made a reservation, which I highly recommend, so we were quickly seated. but it did take a bit for someone to actually come and greet us and take our drink orders after being sat down. Then it was probably another 40 minutes before we actually got our food. I'm not sure if it was this lag time that affected the food quality, but several of my items were just lukewarm and some even cold? The star of the show was definitely, the molcajete. This came out sizzling and full to the brim with shrimp, nopales, chicken, asada, cheese, and lots of other goodies. In hindsight, I probably should've ordered one for myself. I went with the chicken mole enchiladas. Again, the sauce was okay but not super spicy, and it was a little cold, as was my side of rice and beans. We also ordered the mini birria chimis to share. and these were just OK, they tasted like frozen food. Overall, if you come here, I highly recommend getting the molcajete, but can't really vouch for any other items. Maybe we'll try it again on a less busy night.
