alias grepot '\*grep --include="*.org" --include="*.texi" -hir -C "$1" "$2" "$3"'

I just believe by doing above you may do that.

I could see that I had to escape * in front of grep as only *grep will
use the system command grep. In eshell Emacs functions have priority
so $ grep alone would invoke Emacs grep and show it in the buffer.

I believe you want it shown in the eshell, right?
