What People Are Saying About Rolis Restaurant

In Short – With its sunny yellow walls, purple wainscoting and floral tablecloths, this two-room restaurant is a refreshing splash of color on the gritty Sheridan strip, with low prices that make it a popular spot for locals dining solo and on dates. The menu features regional Mexican dishes like caldo tlalpeno (simple, hearty chicken soup with avocado and lime wedges) and grilled chicken in tangy tomatillo and pumpkin-seed sauce, plus standards like tacos and tamales.

Great Food!
by CSMobileUser3 at Citysearch
I went in thought it was going to be decent food because it looks so small and quiet. but when i ordered the deviled shrimp and i tried it, wow was it great, and spicy too just how i like it. the chips were warm and the salsas were fresh, and i loved the rice water. the waiter was extremely friendly. i would for sure go back and bring all my friends. Great food.

delcious regional mexican food
by emilystrikesagain at Citysearch
went on a saturday night the week of valentines day not expecting to get a table, but the place was comfortably full and the service was excellent. friendly and helpful. food was delicious- we got the chorizo flautas appetizer, chiles rellenos and some kind of chicken for dinner, and plantains and ice cream for dessert. total bill was $33. SWEET. plus, it's BYOB which wins me over anyway. the restaurant was small so it would be uncomfortable for parties over 4-6, nearly impossible for ones larger.
- Pros: prices, byob, service
- Cons: small if you'd like to come with a large party

Best Mexican food in Chicago
by truthmaker at Citysearch
I love Mexican food, and have tried many places searching for my favorite. A group of people recommended this place to me, and since then, I've brought probably twenty people there to dine with me (not all at once of course - the place is pretty tiny). Awesome food prepared hot and fast. You couldn't ask for better service from the waiters and waitresses. I can't say enough great things about it - you should go check it for yourself!
- Pros: great service, great food, cozy place
- Cons: small place that's not suitable for larger gatheri
