Our Family

From a kitchen in Michoacán
to a table in Rock Island.

Taqueria Roly's is a family-run taqueria bringing the homemade, traditional food of Michoacán, Mexico to the Quad Cities — now serving Rock Island on Blackhawk Road.

The corn tortillas are pressed by hand and everything is made to order — including the slow-cooked birria behind their famous quesabirria. There's a salsa bar from mild to extra-spicy, and generous portions at honest, neighborly prices.

Carne Asada Tacos

Grilled steak chopped fine over warm, hand-pressed corn tortillas, finished the way it should be — white onion, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Simple, honest, Michoacán.
