    The World Famous Rollies Sonoran Hotdog!!
    Kyla F.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Potato rolled tacos, flat enchiladas (plain), rice and beans

    FANTASTIC!! We stopped by while in Tucson and had such a delicious meal. The staff was so friendly and made our meal more than just good food-- it was overall just a great experience. We ordered the potato rolled tacos, the flat enchiladas and rice and beans. The standout food though, was the rice! The rice was the BEST Mexican rice I've ever had-- it was al dente and was incredibly flavorful. It was so good that we took sides of rice and beans home with us. They also had great salsas. Very much recommend!

    Pumpkin spiced horchata
    Kathy N.

    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.

    Monica R.

    I had the quinceañera plate which has meat, rice and beans. Not only are they generous with the serving size, but the flavor is authentic to what my tias used to make growing up! Nice outdoor seating as well as nice Mexican ambiance inside.

The staff where beyond amazing, especially the woman who made our complementary salsa right at the table. And the salsa was yummy but sadly that's the only part of the meal that I can say that about. The thing is, nothing was truly bad, but just about everything was incredibly bland. You'd have expected someone who puts raisins in potato salad to have served it, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the positive is the lack of seasoning is really the only major problem. The food did not have any weird taste, it wasn't dry, the presentation was fine. It simply needs to be seasoned and this place goes to a solid 4/5 rather than a three.

The sauce was thicker than usual, but that's probably the Native fusion instead of being just Mexican enchiladas. So glad we stopped in, we ate every bite.

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.
