This place surprised me, everything was delicious. The staff were very helpful and polite. One of the better options in the area. I was glad I tried it on a whim. The meat in the taquitos were not dry like other places. Their must try to me were: -the pineapple cream soda -beef flour taquitos -corn in a cup Cups and guac were good too and so was the donut. read more

I came by with my family to try out the Taquitos; for me, it was going to be a combo plate of 3 finger sized Taquitos, rice & beans for $15 - seemed a bit much at first but it was something else that caught my eye and instantly turned me off entirely; again, the food looked good, but it was the "2oz. side sauces $.80 each" that did it for me... I didn't order but walked out instead. Sorry, I am not buying side salsas or sauces; they should be complimentary with my combo meal purchase. Pros: Nice Place Friendly Staff Clean restaurant Price a bit high Plenty of Parking Restrooms: didn't use/don't know Cons: Charge for Side Salsas & Sauces My suggestion for a 5-Star Place: all the above is fine accept, 2 or 3 Side Salsas should be "Complimentary" (Free) with every combo order.. impliment that, and I'll change my review. read more

Had dinner here last night and it was a terrible experience. We ordered the chicken tostada salad and an order of taquitos. Within an hour of eating, both of our stomachs started hurting. I'm not sure what was wrong with the food, but it definitely did not sit well with either of us On top of that, the food itself was very disappointing... bland, greasy, and oily. We were expecting a good meal and instead ended up feeling sick. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

Food service and ambiance was outstanding, great customer service from Elise, Taquitos were delish and crispy the sauces had a good Kick which I like Love the reggae vibes cafe style And overall great place I got 4 piece of style and esquite in a cup read more

I was so excited about a store opening up closer to me! I used to work in Chino and the Chino Hills was a trek to get to. Parking was very easy and the store is located at the corner, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu has significantly changed since I've been and they have many new choices now! I got the 3 pack with beef, chicken, and potato and it was as delicious as I remembered. There was plenty of seating inside and the walls were nice and colorful. read more

It was my first time trying this location in Pasadena. The hosts were Ricky and his sister. I believe it is their family who started the business.. They were very friendly and helpful , and offered samples before ordering. I ordered the four pack with two beef taquitos & two chicken taquitos done in the OG style. It had toppings with iceberg lettuce, avocado sauce, and Crema. It comes with a drink of your choice, as well as rice and beans. Both the rice and beans have a homemade flavor. They were really good. They gave some extra sauces on the side for a little variety. The beans taste like grandma made them .. The location offers seating indoors or out with tables and one area has a counter. The interior is modern with some very colorful art. Reggae music was playing. I really like this location as well as-the very cordial service and excellent food. read more

Friendly staff! We heard about this place and wanted to try their taquitos. The staff offered samples of the refreshers and chips/salsa to check flavors and gave recommendations on the options. It was inviting inside and some games available to hang out and play with. We got the loaded asada fries as well as the original taquitos combo. Fries were great and filling. The taquitos were a little too generously slathered with sauce but it was okay we dunked fries in them. I usually don't like rice and beans but the rice was nice accompaniment to the meats and the beans actually were satisfying instead of an afterthought! Plenty of parking in the lot shared with Amazon Fresh that will be closing down soon. read more

I absolutely loved the beef and potato tacos on our first visit. The restaurant offers plenty of parking and is extremely clean inside. From the menu I personally recommend the tacos. They were delicious, well portioned, and full of flavor. The taquitos, however were just okay for my husband and I. They did not have the authentic Mexican taste or texture we expected. Perhaps a chalupa texture could be considered? The taquitos were dry and crispy without much of a wow factor. Service was friendly and attentive. The new hire was sweet and very responsive. All the food was made fresh to order. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be returning. read more

The tacos here were so good, and the taquitos were even better. I got mine enchilada-style and the sauces had so much flavor. I honestly recommend everything. and I loved that you can mix and match the fillings. Both were delicious -- crispy, flavorful, and perfect with the sauces. I don't even like beans, and I ate every single one -- I wanted more! The rice was super moist and fluffy, and every part of the meal was seasoned perfectly. Customer service was also great. The staff was friendly, helpful, and gave really good recommendations for my first time. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Roll Em Up Taquitos - Mural - Mexican Near Me - Pasadena, California

It was my first time here and the service and food were the BEST! Service was super friendly and gave us options on what he recommends. After he explained everything, I ordered exactly that. I got the 4-pack (2 chicken and 2 beef taquitos loaded) w/ rice and beans and a horchata drink. Me and my girlfriend sat outside and they brought the food out to us. Even while we were eating, he made sure we were ok by checking up on us here and there. The food was so good! The best rice and beans I've tasted in a while! It was packing with flavors. The taquitos was also was packing a punch with flavors and you can hear that crunch when you bite into it! If you're planning to try this place, I recommend trying it out! It is worth the time and friendly environment by the staffs (: read more

Super friendly staff. Bright and happy causal fast food ambiance. Tacos dorados are hard to find but this place has a crunchy taco with ground beef--I liked this the most. Their crunchy beef taquitos had a touch of heat to them. Their carne asada fries were crunchy, tasty, and had a good amount of toppings. And it was all washed down by a creamy horchata slushy! read more

Wow wow wow!! I only have positive words for this small family owned restaurant. First of all, the workers are one of the friendliest hospitality workers I have ever met. They were super informative, friendly, and really accommodated us. I genuinely had such a positive experience even without trying their food first. Now onto the food, ordered the 2 taquitos (corn tortilla with beef/chicken) and they were so flavorful, fresh, and crispy. I recommend their combo taquitos since it comes with a drink, rice, and beans. They even have a nice outside seating area with plenty of tables inside and out. Located in a super big plaza near Amazon fresh. Plenty of parking and in a nice location. 1000% recommend coming here. read more

Look, they know me here ok? I'll admit it. Finding them was like a corny commercial. I sat with a friend and said "Howcome nobody makes good taquitos like ever???" And she said "why don't you look on Yelp?" So I did. And this place came up right away, you know, like a corny commercial. I tried it and OH MY GOD prayers answered!!!! You know how at Mexican restaurants, you order taquitos for $14 or $16 or $21 and they come out so overcooked and dry? Or you get them in a "Fiesta Sampler Platter" and get ONE cut in half and it sucks? NEVER AGAIN!!!! the taquitos here are to. die. for. The sauces, toppings, the lettuce you like on top with sour cream and guac- YES!!! It's all here they also make crispy tacos with ground beef (like a taco night at home) and tons of other things. I've been here an abnormal amount of times and it's not your right to know that number. read more

I ordered a beef and a potato taquito, "enchilada style" with light cheese to go for $7.00. The sauce is delicious the beef melts in your mouth. The potato taco is not so chunky. The enchilada sauce tastes homemade organic and flavorful. No salt needed. I think it's too expensive to order taquitos separately. The staff is friendly and suggested getting the meal. The staff explained the drinks and the 3 styles of taquitos you can order. I noticed that Roll 'Em Up Taquitos has unsweetened tea available. read more

We drive by all the time because we live so close by but have not stopped in until today! Something about the idea of going to a taquito-focused spot wasn't enticing. We never really think of taquitos when it comes to our meal cravings. But after seeing a few posts on Facebook that they do a Tuesday taco deal, I learned that they serve tacos as well and they looked pretty good. We decided to finally give it a try! The store was pretty empty, but the (owner?) immediately greeted us at the register and introduced us to the concept. The menu was surprisingly quite extensive. Yes, they do beef, chicken, potato taquitos with your choice of toppings style, but they also do crispy tacos and a very unique looking taco burger. We were graciously given their guacamole and queso to sample as well and they were delicious. I wish we came more hungry but next time I would love to also get their churro donut or blended horchata!! Honestly I was blown away by their menu selection when my first impression was that they sold taquitos only. I was sad to realize my judgement was totally wrong and I've been missing out on a genuinely good food spot, especially since we crave Mexican or Tex mex food quite often. I can tell from the quality of their queso, guacamole, and chips that the quality is top tier. When I think of taquitos I immediately think of frozen ones, and I don't think I even knew what fresh taquitos tasted like before this. We also surprisingly loved their beans and rice. The ingredients and texture are so much better and different! We didn't dine in today, but the spot is very clean and has a fun vibe. I will definitely be returning to try more items. I hope my review helps others who might overlook this spot - it's genuinely good, the service is great, and they deserve to have more patrons than were there in store. I hope they have more success! read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Price: $ Solid solid solid taquitos place! First time trying it and it was bomb! I got the two chicken taquitos, everything was perfect. It was crispy and soft in the inside just like i want it. The service was great, especially the guy who cook the food (didn't get his name). They had shaded patio outside and around 5-6 tables inside. I definitely would be back for more. read more

Really good food, I ordered 5 taquitos OG style chicken, potato, beef on flour and corn tortillas. I like that you can mix it up and try everything. The side of beans and rice were really good as well. I also ordered the churro donut with cinnamon, sugar and drizzled caramel on top. The place is clean with chill music and really cool staff, the only suggestion I would make is to bring back Anna. She speaks really good Spanish and has a great personality. Her vibes are inviting and welcoming. I hope to see her again when I come back. read more

I love it here. It's a no frills, just good classic tacos and taquitos. It's not really a street taco style place. Sometimes, I crave crunchy tacos but don't want shredded beef. Roll Em Up is the perfect place to get that, also they have taquitos with your choice of flour tortillas or corn tortillas. Every time I come here, the service is great, especially Jasmine, and they're always checking in to see if we're ok or if we need anything else. I definitely recommend checking Roll Em Up out! read more

No surprises here in this franchised spot. You want taquitos? They got them here, in beef, chicken and potato. They've also got fries and a dish they call the taco burger. I've always considered taquitos as an app, but if you have enough of them, it'll fill you up for sure. I was hungry so I got their 4 taquito combo, which came with 2 sides and a drink. You can get them in corn or flour tortillas as well. Ordered the following to go: Taquitos - beef and chicken combo, 4 pieces - 6.5/10: 'll say they're not bad. It's nothing too mind-blowing to be honest. They could use a little more filling inside. Also, the side dishes are minuscule - i got like 2 teaspoons of beans and maybe a couple tablespoons of rice. If I come here next time, I won't bother with the combo. I'd just get the taquitos alone. Taco Burger - 5/10: As for the taco burger, it's basically ground beef taco meat, with some lettuce, and Mexican style cheeses stuffed between buns. Some here described it as a sloppy Joe, and that's an apt comparison. Except mine was served lukewarm, and the cheese wasn't even melted. It's a novelty item for sure and something I can't really recommend. - Horchata - 7/10: Solid, creamy, and overly sweet. Anyway, like I said, this place is all about the taquito. So if you're looking for one, this isn't a bad spot at all. read more

If you haven't been to Roll Em Up, go ahead and cancel your plans, call your mom, and make your way over there--because this place is that good. First off, the aesthetics of the restaurant are incredible. I walked in and immediately thought, "Wow... this is what my kitchen wishes it looked like." It's clean, vibrant, and has the kind of cozy vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you probably should. Now, let's talk service--because it deserves its own award. It's a family-owned business, and you can feel that warmth from the moment you walk in. Supporting local spots already feels good, but supporting a place that treats you like long-lost cousins? Even better. The owner is the kind of person who makes you feel like you've been friends for years. Super welcoming, super intentional, and honestly, if more restaurant owners were like this, Yelp would be a much happier place. And the food... oh man. My wife and I both got the taquito plate with carne asada fries, and let me just say--these taquitos are to die for. If I had to choose between these taquitos and winning the lottery... well, I'd have to think about it for a second. 10/10 recommend! If you're looking for great food, great people, and an experience that makes you want to come back before you even leave the parking lot, Roll Em Up is the spot!!! read more

In the mood for some taquitos, was hoping this would hit the spot, unfortunately, that was not the case. The staff was welcoming, and the food was okay (to me, this is very commercial food, not made with any love, definitely does not taste homemade). Might have to try again, hopefully would have a different perspective. read more

Unnecessarily complicated. That or the person at the counter needs a lot of training. Sauce is 0.80/2oz cup. Nothing fancy about the meal but pricey. Skip this place and hit the classics like Pepe's and Tito's. Any Mexican spot can make a Taquitos just as good. I don't believe this franchise model is going to make it at the price point of the food. read more

Just go here already. The tacos were exactly what I've been looking for. Next time, I'll ask for more lettuce but that's a personal preference which I know they'll do with pleasure! Welcoming is not a strong enough word to describe how amazing and friendly the service was. You can tell they want you to love the place as much as they do. If there was one in the bay, I'd be there weekly. It was a random find and one I won't forget. I'm just bummed I can't try everything on the menu while I'm in the area. Clean, lovely place to go and grab a bite with friend and family that won't break the bank. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The rice!? I was not expecting that rice to taste so home-made delicious at a trendy spot with bright and modern interior. The bathrooms were immaculate too. So, yah, consider me a fan. We played giant Uno while we were there. Ok foods, everyone liked what they got: - beef taco combo: crispy shell, juicy meat, with the sharpness of the cheese at the end - carne asada fries: delish - 4 taquito combo, beef and chicken: tender,flavorful. chicken is so easy to dry out and these were so good - rice and beans - on point Things to try: Taco salad The churro donut! read more

I came in for an agua de horchata and left with a memory of home. Roll Em Up feels like a rare instance of a fast food establishment that actually wants you there: there's reggae music, incredibly friendly staff, even board games that you can play at your table. Everything was impeccable, and my mind was made when I tried the tacos. I am not exaggerating when I say these tacos dorados are the most true-to-life Mexican food I've had in California. They were delicious, perfectly crunchy, and accompanied by a classic chopped lettuce salad bathed in hot dressing. Roll Em Up has instantly become my favorite chain for a quick bite. read more

Really good taquitos. I don't go out of my way to order taquitos but wanted to give this place a try. When I saw this was located in Pasadena, I was worried about parking but this location has a large lot shared with other businesses and parking is free! Super friendly staff. She explained the menu for us since it was our first time there. I just got the 2 beef taquitos, 1 corn, and 1 flour. Honestly couldn't notice the difference in taste. I opted for the OG style and that was good. The rice was my favorite side. It was nicely flavored and fluffy. The beans were good but had a good kick to it. I also got the esquite fully loaded and I was not a fan of it. Didn't taste like your typical esquite. Lacked the mayo/buttery taste. It had more of a lemony taste but it wasn't bland and the corn wasn't soggy. There was lots of sauce options but due to how we got it prepared, the sauces were not necessary. The strawberry dragonfruit drink was good but didn't taste much dragonfruit. Otherwise I would love to return to try something different. read more

Roll Em Up Taquitos - Esquite w/ everything, taquitos meal, nachos - Mexican Near Me - Pasadena, California

We experienced an unacceptable situation this afternoon when the staff member working at the counter, Rick, catcalled my wife as she entered to order lunch. When she rightfully confronted him, he appeared embarrassed but was notably unapologetic. The incident was completely inappropriate. Afterward, he added, "This is my family's restaurant, and my brother and I are working today," which only made the interaction feel more uncomfortable. We felt it was necessary not only to escalate the matter with a review so management was aware, but also to warn other patrons about our experience. read more
