The staff were wonderfully friendly, helpful, and attentive, and the food exceed our expectations. The carnitas enchiladas were super delicious, some of the best, most flavorful carnitas we've ever had, perfectly crisped and salted. And don't skip the standout house-made refried beans and rice! We didn't get margaritas but noticed them at another table - very generously sized! We'll definitely have to try them when we return!

We ordered birria tacos and an al pastor torta. Ive never had a torta before it was HUGE and delicious.

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!…read more Finally!!! Real Mexican Food!!! Washington State is NOT known for its food. Especially Mexican food. Most of the Mexican food in Washington State is "Blah". Only a very small handful of Mexican restaurants are just decent. El Rodeo is an oasis in a food desert. This IS the real stuff. The flavors that I miss living in both NorCal and SoCal. The food is superb! The service is excellent! The decor is very inviting. The next time I'm in Moses Lake I will sure to eat here again! I WILL come back to this place!!!!

Stopped here for a late dinner while staying in the area. The interior had plenty of Mexican…read moreinspired elements and felt authentic. Started with complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered the Chile Rellenos and enchiladas combo plate, which came with the standard sides. Unfortunately, everything on my plate seemed to taste pretty much the same and the overall flavors were quite bland. Nothing was particularly bad, but it was pretty underwhelming. The biggest plus is that they opens late, which is hard to come by especially for the area.

Easily one of the best adobada tacos I've had in Washington. The flavors were great and the meat…read morewas so tender. I love that they put beans on the tacos. I haven't seen this anywhere else. Finding this spot was definitely a treat. The people were friendly and for a taco truck, the amenities were nice. They had a hand washing station. The only recommendation that I have is that the seating area could use a clear film to block the wind. It was quite windy that day so it almost blew away our plates. I highly recommend this place. It's a must try.

It's true - the best parts of travel are found in the detours!!! It was early (6AM), we were tired, hungry and just plain crabby for all of it. We waited, in (crabby) silence, while the truck in front of us in the drive-thru took away a HUGE order of food & multiple coffees. It was a good sign indeed!!! So. Our turn. We ordered from the generous menu of items hand-made-to-order; yummy truck food with a generous splash of Mexican spice and care. I had an incredible pesto stuffed homemade bagel, and my husband had an overflowing breakfast taco. SO GOOD!!! This is NOT fast food - you may actually have to wait 4 minutes (!!!!), but OMG!!! worth every second. And wait - that's not all...BEST. COFFEE. EVER! Fabulous aroma & flavor! This was all served by the kindest human being, who cheerfully shared that she's up and at work there by 5AM, 6 days a week. Otherwise, she "sleeps in" and is there by 7AM...!!! So, to anyone looking for a destination breakfast on I-90 a stones throw from Moses Lake, we'll see you there. We salute the hard-working & generous Team Taco El Ray Espresso! You made a huge difference in our entire travel experience, and, maybe, just maybe, saved our marriage (you know, missing an exit? hungry? tired? no coffee? )
