This is probably one of the better Mexican restaurants in Bend. With that said, they can be very busy! They were supposed to sing Happy Birthday to my granddaughters but at the end they said "we're too busy" that was a bummer! The food is good, the salsa is great. The service is friendly. Overall El Rodeo is the only Mexican food we revisit in Bend! read more

Prime was a very poor quality. Service was poor at best. I asked for more salsa and the host just said no. And we got no more salsa. So my tip at check out was a note. "Have some salsa." We won't be back read more

The food was so yummy! Full of flavor. The service was friendly and personal. We will come back next year when we are back in the area.

Excellent food, excellent service. I'm originally from Los Angeles, so Mexican food is available there darn near every block. It's nice to have place in Bend, that has good, authentic Mexican food. read more

First time in bend and we definitely made a good choice . Great service ! Amazing food. I ordered the mar & tierra which had shrimp and steak and sautéed mushroom and i totally forgot to take a picture before it was all gone. The plate was enormous and soo soo delicious . Will be back next time read more

We were passing through Bend and looking for a place to have an early dinner. We tried the El Rodeo, and had a fantastic meal. My husband is a carne-asada expert, and he said this was one of the best he's had. My pollo asado was delicious. And the service was top notch! read more

This place is always fun to go to. I've been here about 5 times with my family and we loved it every time. The staff is always very social and attentive. The portion of the plates here is amazing. Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Bend! read more

The food here is amazing! However the customer service is always really poor! The hostess always sounds extremely bothered whenever we call in orders and god forbid we don't check the order before leaving the restaurant ‍ my order was messed up again tonight. But like I said the food is almost worth the bad service and I really hope it improves! read more

Great Mexican food. The burrito asado was the best burrito I've ever had. If you're looking for good Mexican food and nothing crazy, this is the place. read more

Awesome food and service! I had the mole enchiladas and they were terrific. I would def Eat there again! And the bar/cantina was great and our drink was one of the best I've had out in a long long time! read more

After a long day of driving this was the place to go! We were here probably 8 years ago and the margaritas were what we remembered and they were still great! I had the coconut margarita, my wife the kiwi, my parents got the black berry and my sister a normal on the rocks. The food was really good too! My mom and sister raved about the chili rellenos! The staff was very friendly and on top of everything! Great food, drinks and friendly staff make for a place I recommend and will be back to when in Bend! read more

I have heard raves about El Rodeo from several people I know so my sister and I decided to check it out. WOW! We were impressed. We were greeted at the door by the hostess and seated immediately. We had barely gotten seated when we were served chips and salsa and water. Our drink order was taken and filled quickly. We had a few moments to look over the menu. We ordered our favorite items. Sister had chicken mole which she declared the best in Bend-possibly the best in Central Oregon. I had a chile relleno with a chicken enchilada. The relleno was great as was the enchilada. The meal was served up quickly and the presentation was nice. The decor inside the restaurant is very pleasant. Nice posters and artwork. Classic Mexican styling. Beautiful tile inlay on the tables. A fireplace in the center of the room. Really nice. Our server, Miguel, was very pleasant and appropriately attentive. He even indulged my feeble attempts at speaking Spanish (Sis does a much better job). Just watching him work and running around the restaurant made me tired. Also, the manager (or owner-not sure) stopped by the table to ask if we needed anything and to be sure we were being taken care of. A nice touch. El Rodeo just became our favorite Mexican restaurant. read more

I LOVE this restaurant. I have never experienced anything but super friendly service in both the lounge and restaurant sides on multiple occasions. The food and drinks are fantastic. Order the Camarones El Diablo and a Coronarita for the most delicioso feast of your life. read more

It has been 2 months since I had any Mexican food so I would have eaten anything. However, this is some of the best seafood Mexican food that I have had the pleasure of eating. I specifically got the Burro Alcopolco, shrimp, crab and scallops in a wonderful sauce in a burrito wrap. It was a busy place so the locals obviously eat here. The Margarita was really good and the atmosphere and service excellent. I am glad that I found this place. read more

Excellent service and delicious, authentic food! Highly recommend Camarones al Mojo. Insane!! Don't miss out.

Always good food and the service is wonderful. It is our #1 Mexican spot in Bend for price and quality.

This place is phenomenal! Been going to this establishment since 2004 and never once bad food or bad experience! Highly recommended for great Mexican food, great service and drinks! read more

Great place for the family. Love the perfect margarita. Food is great. Atmosphere is awesome. The kids love it. The owner is a blessing.

We tried this place on a whim. Thought that the reviews were OK and the pictures looked tasty. It didn't look crowded when we pulled up was were surprised to see it quite packed inside. We were greeted by the nicest man who turned out to be the owner. The salsa was fantastic- hot but fantastic. They roast their peppers. The dinner was served fast and hot. The margaritas were a must have. Would go back when we are back in Bend. read more

El Rodeo - Straight up yummy - Mexican Near Me - Bend, Oregon

So delicious! I got a chicken super burrito and it was oh so yummy! The waiter was very nice and we were seated and fed very quickly. The owner was also very nice and sang along to the music which was very entertaining. They also pour their drinks very strong so you only need one! Will definitely go back if I'm ever in Bend again. read more

This is now our favorite Mexican place in Bend. Late lunch, enchiladas and a beer, absolutely delicious. Add clean and and good service, you have a great dining experience. Thank You read more

Good Mexican food at a good price. Hot sauce is hot:) Good chips. Friendly service. On my next trip to Bend, I will surely revisit.

Always my favorite. I dream about this place and know the menu by heart. I have never gone wrong here, even their american food is good. The staff is great, they treat you like family. I could eat the cabbage that comes with the chips and salsa with a shovel it is so delicious. Good drinks, good food, good people. The best of Bend. read more

My family ate here on our last night before leaving Sunriver. Our waiter was great and had patience with our high-maintenance ordering. . The servings are large and delicious. The nachos are the best I had!! Would definitely return, especially for that lettuce salsa. YUM! read more

Had tacos al carbon which was really really good. Service was very fast and friendly. Unlike the guy who ordered a house margarita and complained that it tasted like a house margarita, I upgraded a little and it was tasty. read more

Passing through and stopped for dinner based on good reviews. Staff very attentive and friendly. Super quick service. Food was so so. Ordered enchiladas verdes and a soft taco. Kinda bland. Note- do not order a soft taco- Totally falls apart! The cabbage "salsa" with chips was good and different. read more

This place is consistent on having great authentic Mexican food. Also fast and friendly service. You can't go wrong when eating here.

Always consistent. True, this is not Mexico, but it is very good. Service is always spot on and very friendly. A favorite place in Bend

Everything was spot on. Chips and salsa was arriving at the table as we sat down, the service was professional and swift, and the food was great. I'm not sure they can do this well every time, but this time they knocked it out of the park. read more

Way overrated. Below average food and overpriced. My wife got food poisoning on the chicken quesadilla which had shredded and mostly dark (cheap) meat. Margarita was like kool aid. Avoid this place unless you want to be disappointed. read more

El rodeo is delicious and our server , I believe he's the owner, was so nice and welcoming. The service was so quick and the food was delicious. The tamale was a bit dry but my chimichanga was delivous. I love their Mexican rice as well. read more

I love love love El Rodeo!! I've been eating here for 15 years and can honestly say that I've never been disappointed. All of the staff is very welcoming, greets me with a smile and knows my mane. It's like family going there. The perfect margarita is the drink that keeps on giving and the fajitas mixtas (halibut and prawn) are to die for! Don't forget the fried ice cream. It's great to see Rudy and Lorena handing the rains over to their children for many more years of great food and service. read more

Great place!! Loved the food, even if it was a bit pricey. After moving from California over a year ago haven't found to many good Mexican restaurants and this one was great. The staff was great , and loved the margaritas too!!! read more

Friendly service and they don't try fooling you with flap meat disguised as skirt steak. They actually use skirt steak and make the best carne asada. 2 competitors in town list skirt steak as their cut but bring thinly sliced too round. Can't full people that come from the meat industry. Keep it up El Rodeo , truly the best in the county. read more

We are from Arizona, Gilbert and we have been here a week! Tired of the beer, well sorta! We are so grateful we found this place!! Service was incredible as soon as we walked in..great smile and seated right away..hot chips and coleslaw and salsa to die for! Margaritas rocks and salt, a must! We think the owner came by, at every table btw! Our meals were incredible! So happy we found you! read more

We got seated right way and served in a timely manner. With a 3 year old it was very much appreciated. I was surprised how much my son ate. He is usually much more difficult to feed while eating out. He says the food was super tasty read more

Visiting Bend and decided to try this restaurant. I ordered shrimp enchiladas. Best I've ever eaten. Service was good and the restaurant is clean read more

I have been here several times at the recommendation of a friend. The first time I had the tacos. They were terrible. The shells were brittle and fell apart. They were not tasty. I have had better at taco bell. My friend told me afterwards you shouldn't order the tacos Lol! Gee thanks a lot. I since then have had the the chicken enchiladas, they are excellent , I have them with beans because there rice is not very moist. The margaritas are excellent also. I will keep returning because other than tacoe their food is very good. Service has been good also. read more
