Chef and owner of Rollies Mexican Patio, Mateo Otero, is opening a brand-new location at the MSA Annex, 267 S. Avenida Del Convento.
The official Grand Opening is Saturday, July 6 at 10 a.m. (stay tuned for the daily hours of operation).
The restaurant joins other local favorites like Beaut Burger, Decibel Coffee Works, Kukai, MiniBar, and Westbound in the outdoor shipping container complex. Back in 2022, Rollies would park its food truck at the Annex but now they’re moving into one of the on-site buildings/shipping containers.
Otero has a nifty amount of goodness spread across his menu, from his own take on the classic dishes to the modernized dishes, he’s really hit the nail on the head — making you wish you had more than one stomach to engulf. Plan to see a lot of the same items found at their 12th Avenue restaurant.
Keep an eye out for the birria ramen, rolled tacos (of course), Nana’s Tacos, Birria Cheesecrip Burger, and other local favorites. For those looking for a breakfast dish, you need to try Rollies’ chilaquiles, which are topped with a chile verde sauce and your choice of birria, ribeye, or bacon.
MSA Annex just celebrated six years last month, and Rollies is an excellent addition to the group of local businesses.
