Ngl, the best Mexican food I tried in Houston. Something about the salsas the marination if that's a word and the way they perfectly cook the food it tasted soooo good and filled me up after a workout. The only down side it's a bit far west from the loop but gosh darn it 5 starts still for how good it was read more

This place is amazingly delicious! Staff is friendly, restrooms are clean and seating is comfortable. I saw someone else stated the elote was salty, I noticed it's because they add salted melted butter in addition to other fixins. I'm sure you can omit it. Otherwise the birria is authentic and consume is fresh. Their one location isn't local to me so I'm not sure when I'll be able to visit again but I'm glad I did! Highly recommended. read more

Tried this place for the first time for taco Tuesday. Got food for myself and my mom. She shared some with my brother and we've all been battling food poisoning since then. read more

This place ALWAYS delivers. I'm so mad I've never had the Sandillada before because it was so much fun! It's topped off with a sour belt of candy, a chamoy straw, and frozen chunks of watermelon. I don't know where this was during the summer, but it'll definitely get me through next year! The quesadilla with Hot Cheetos was meaty and cheesy with a satisfying crunch, exactly what I wanted it to be. The tacos can be very onion forward, so if that's not something you enjoy, there's more than enough on the menu to catch your fancy. read more

Was craving birria ramen and didn't want to drive to the Heights or Stafford to the other place. Luckily, Yelp helped me out as usual! This place is off the beaten path for sure and located in a small shopping center with an eclectic mix of shops. Plenty of seating inside, seems clean. Only note is that it's at least 80 degrees inside with no fans or a/c. I was fine but it may not be comfortable for others. At 7 pm on a weekday, it was not busy at all. A couple families came in for take out and ice cream. Service was 5/5 - a very nice lady sat us and took our order. She speaks English but our convo was half Spanish and half English. I was thankful for my high school classes. It took about 15 min for food to come out, which is more than reasonable when food is being made to order. Food and price were all 5/5. - Agua fresca - melon and pineapple: Both were very fresh but I liked the pineapple more. The melon was a bit heavy for my preference. Large size comes out in a giant cup. - Cheesy birria tacos: Comes in a set of 4. Smaller than some other places, but more than enough for a meal. Cheese perfectly melted and shell nice and crisp. Comes out piping hot and fresh with a container of consommé and some very green sauce. Alone, the consommé tasted salty, but for dipping tacos it was perfect. Meat was tender and flavorful - overall very good! - Birria ramen: This was perfect and hit the spot. It was served in an instant ramen bowl with the broth and birria meat added. The broth was savory and the noodles soft the way I like them. There's an option to add two cheesy birria tacos for an extra $2-$2.50, but I passed since we already had the order of 4. This came out soooo hot and stayed that way for 20+ min. It was fantastic. The broth was so good - it's different than the consommé. I couldn't finish so took it home. The lady saw us walking out with the ramen bowl and stopped us on the way out to dump it in a to go container for us. So sweet! -Gordita birria: Maybe we don't know what a real Gordita is as we're only familiar with the fast food one, but this was not what we expected. It was very good, but had no idea how best to eat/tackle it. It was birria, fresh lettuce, sour cream, queso fresca sitting between two fried tortillas. It was super messy to eat, especially after we drizzled the consommé on it. ~$40 before tip, so pretty reasonable for two people. Drinks alone were ~$9-10 but that's less than you would pay at most tea shops. Great place to satisfy a birria craving! read more

I had to order seconds of the pollo and pastor tacos to take back home with me. I had no idea what to expect since I rarely travel along the Westpark tollway, and it's always nice to find an authentic restaurant where you'd least expect it. read more

5/5 for service and location Came to check them out for dinner. Staff was super friendly and patient. Even offered us ice cream samples while we waited which was very kind. Interior is spacious for sit in dining and they have a variety of items on their menu ranging from tacos to birria pizza. A neat little spot to grab dessert as well. Birria Cheesy Tacos 3/5 I thought this dish was okay. Not as much flavor as I was hoping but it definitely served me well for dinner. Green salsa was a super green color which i thought was quite unique, but the taste was yum with a nice punch. I wish the corn tortillas held their shape a little better too. Beef Fajita Nachos 3.5/5 you can get these with nacho chips or tortilla chips. Covered with plenty of cheese, but not as much fajita as my bf would have liked. Pineapple Aguas Frescas - 4/5 super refreshing! I would have it again for sure! Cucumber Lime Aguas Fresca - 3.5/5 a little watered down and not as flavorful compared to other ones we've had. Would like to see it have more of a cucumber flavor read more

Good used to be amazing! I have never been in person but always ordered on uber eats and it was amazing! Always got the burrito pizza till one day I ordered and they just didn't deliver it. Made me change the order. What I got costed more but I still was okay. It wasn't as good but I was just gonna go back for the birria pizza another day. Now I look and they don't even have it on the menu OR the taco platter they advertise and whenever you call they NEVER answer. Big let down. Then we ordered the Munchie box that comes with like 8 items and they sent us 4 tacos . Yall stay away they scam!!!! read more

Dios mio, El Roli's has blown me away! Birria taco fans, come on down, the perfect Taco Tuesday place you have been looking for is right here! It was a Tuesday and the body was craving Tacos. A buddy of mine recommended this spot, and it did not disappoint. Located in one of the most odd, and strangest shopping centers, El Roli's really is a hole in the wall. Once you are inside, the interior is beautiful, the place is clean, and this looks like any Taco Shop you would find near the Hilcroft area of Houston (or any Latino side of town). Being that it was Taco Tuesday, the place was buzzing! People were picking up orders left and right. We decided to dine-in, and wanted to take advantage of their wonderful Taco Tuesday Special. That's right folks, a TACO TUESDAY SPECIAL. For 5 bucks, you get 5 tacos and a drink. I decided to order 3 pastor tacos, and 2 fajita, along with a pineapple agua fresca. Since this place has birria written all over it, I decided to get an order of the birria tacos as well. Now then, strap in, because your taste buds are going to go on a wild ride! Before we get to that, I will say, that the service was also splendid! The young guys working the front were very friendly, and provided us service with a smile. My buddy, had even spilled his horchata, and they cleaned it up, and gave him one on the house, you just can't beat that! The birria tacos were birria heaven! They were cheesey, cooked to perfection, and loaded on flavor. I've had birria at other places, and it was a bland dissapointment, but not at El Roli's. The folks here know exactly what they are doing! The 5 tacos were pretty delicious, I loved the fact that the pastor tacos had pineapple on them (now that's authentic Pastor!). The fajita tacos were delicious too, you can't beat that Taco Tuesday deal. However, that Birria stole the show. I will definitely have to come back here on a Tuesday, a Friday, a Thursday, a Saturday, and any day on the calendar. Fantastico! read more

Food was ok. Service was horrible. Waitress was talking to someone at the bar the whole time and only came to our table to ask for our order and bring food and did not approach us again. Paid extra for tacos with barley any meat (tripa). Place is really nice for service to be bad. read more

If I could vote this place 10 stars I would. I just found out of this place about a week and a half ago & I'm already in love with how AMAZING the food is here on top of the wonderful service. Family owned & everybody is very welcoming & attentive! The food hits every bite, I literally came here 3 days in a row. That's how good it is. If you love Birria & great authentic Mexican food. THIS. IS. YOUR. SPOT!! Support the business, you won't regret it ! read more

For a place to that has Birria in their name you would think that it would be their best thing on the menu...but nope. The Birria was extremely salty to the point where I couldn't eat it. What a disappointment, wouldn't recommend. 0/10 read more

This place is really interesting. They literally have everything from tacos to ice cream to chicken alfredo and salads. Since this was my first time coming here I wanted to try the birria and it was delicious! The plate of birria tacos is $12.95 and comes with 5 cheesy tacos, consome, salsa verde, cilantro & onion, limes, radishes, and cucumber. I didn't try the ice cream, but it looked delicious. They have such a wide variety of dishes I wanted to try and will definitely be back to try more. read more

El Roli's Birria - Birria tacos - Salad Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time! Been seeing them on Instagram a lot so I decided to try them with my bros. We tried the Birrias. I've been looking for the best one in Houston and have been trying different ones from different places. So far, this one falls on 3rd place. The birria tacos and quesadilla was great but the soup lacked in flavor. It needs more flavor to taste it when you deep the food in. That's the highlight. The aguas was good-a bit too sweet but was ok. I remember the place was a bit gloomy. They have a cute wall art and their food presentation is A! So hopefully they put more lights to make the place brighter. It will help in showing off the store more on social media. People love taking food pictures especially in good lighting. read more

Probably the best quesabirria tacos in Houston. A literal hole in the wall. But once you go, you'll run back. It's halal friendly so that's a great plus point! I got the beef birria tacos which actually come with 4 tacos, consome, green sauce, and toppings to add into your tacos. For the price point this was really great! Other places usually come with only 2-3 tacos and now a days you have to purchase the consome separately which is a headache. I was pleasantly surprised at how much you get in one portion here. It's delicious!!! You have to check it out if you're ever in the area!! read more

Where to start... drove about 30min to get there walked in no one greeted us we walked up to the register and grabbed a menu a guy told us to seat ourselves that someone would attend us shortly Sat down waited for a server for about 15 min Took out order , this is where I got mad lol I literally waited for over an hour to get 5 birria tacos To which I'm conclusion weren't even tasty They lacked flavor the consomé did too The only thing that helped the tacos would be the green salsa other than that I am good , will not be returning. They need to act faster especially since they weren't even busy multiple people got their food before I did and my order was smaller La demora fue más de una hora por 5 taquitos de birria y no tenían buen sabor lo que les ayudó con el sabor fue la salsa verde porque hasta el consomé estaba desabrido read more

Came back to try the Birria tacos and it was a complete miss. The tortillas were layered three times, on top of them being extremely dry. The saddest part was how the cheese was hard and crumbly instead of melty. As for the soup to dip the tacos in, it was so bland that salt couldn't even help it. I thought the color was a little off when I initially saw it as a more potent broth wouldn't have been as clear. It tasted more like water than a flavorful stew. I was so excited to try these but sadly, my entire order ended up in the trash. I'm basing the three stars on the Birria tacos alone and not the entire establishment. I'd still come back to try the regular tacos. read more

Friendly service and such a fun place to get snacks! We had 2 beef fajita tacos on flour. They were $1 each. They're small but very flavorful. The green salsa that came with them was spicy and garlicky. We ordered the elote (corn) with flaming hot Cheetos. It was so unique and tasty. We ordered an Agua Fresca but couldn't decide on what to get so the man suggested 1/2 melon and 1/2 pineapple. It was so light and refreshing! My husband got mangos sprinkled with some spices. The mango was ok. Not something we'd get again but we'll definitely come back to this place to try more stuff. The service was A+++++. Super friendly and customer focused. Go check them out. P.S. they have pretty much anything you want to eat. Banh mi, tacos, quesadillas, salads, sandwiches, chicken strips, fried stuffed jalapeños, fries, just look at my pictures of their menu! read more
