    Nothing pains me more than having to leave so,so reviews for a restaurant, especially when you want to love it but can't. We have been to El Rodeo over 15 years since being in Guthrie. The food used to be sooo good . But over the years it has become rather mediocre. The service itself was really good. Our waitress checked up on us and brought our food out quickly. But the food was just not very good. First,the chips were stale. The salsa and queso were not terrible. We ordered envhilafas- they had no flavor. The chicken was and, the refried beans were so pale . The steak and shrimp Ranchero tasted like the shrimp had been recooked many times. It was small and rubbery. The steak was ok. The rest of the plates were pretty much same issue. Bland food that was overpriced. The only thing that saves this business is The staff is super nice and not enough sit down restaurants in town.

    Super Grande Burrito

    This place was right in front of my hotel which made it an easy choice to select but I could also tell from the parking lot that it was popular. The service was very prompt and courteous promptly taking my order and checking on me regularly. Chips and salsa with cheese sauce came right out. The cheese sauce was a little runny for my liking but had good taste. The burrito was HUGE! Excellent flavor and taste and temperature was perfect to dive right into as well. The margarita was one of the meat I've ever had so you can't go wrong there.

    Tiny place right off I-35. We stumbled in after a production shoot in the early afternoon. Chips, queso and salsa were average. Very bland. The lunch fajitas didn't come out 'sizzling' and the taco weres blah. Bland food but fine service. Cute hole in the wall and not terrible. But wouldn't go back.

    Located just off I35 & 33 is an authentic Mexican restaurant ran by friendly and fast service! They serve the coldest beer in town!

    See all

    Chicken was almost as hard as me, waiter does not know how to serve. The environment was judgmental and they charged 8 dollars for a tea

    Good, predictable Mexican fare. We had the Hot Burtito and Chicken Verde Enchiladas. Both were tasty. Service is fast and friendly.

    Since my first visit, they've expanded the menu. Still a solid Tex-Mex oasis on the prairie.

    They were very good with a large portion and they paired nicely with the frozen lime rimmed glasses of Tecate.

    Let me start off by saying I'm an absolute devotee of Mexican cuisine. I've traveled all through…read moreMexico and can't seem to pass by a Latino restaurant here in the states. I stopped at Mariachi for lunch while my wife enjoyed a casino in Perry. The food left me desperate to make a return visit ASAP. I can't vouch for the salsa, I didn't try it. But instead asked if they had a hotter salsa. It was remarkable! Very well balanced with spices, not just made by adding chiles de arbol to a house salsa. I could taste the individual flavors layered within the salsa and while it was spicy it wasn't painfully so. Now, on to the best part: Jacque Pepin said the best way to test a French chefs skills was to ask for an omelet- a simple dish very challenging to deliver flawlessly. I think the same is true in Mexican cuisine- order enchiladas and if they are seasoned, filled and sauced to perfection you can trust about anything on the menu. Mariachi's enchiladas picosas (spicy enchiladas) are a perfect example. Filled with slow roasted & shredded chuck roast, flawlessly seasoned and then topped with a memorable spicy red sauce that, while hotter than my wife likes, was absolute perfection. Served with rice and beans, it was a delightful meal. Service was good, decor as expected of a small Mexican restaurant in a small Oklahoma town, and the food.....you will be impressed!

    Excellent Mexican cuisine. Service is great. My favorite…read moremeal is beef flatas with baracha beans

    Great food. Usually a good place for a meal. But…read more.. Was very very loud last time we went. Like a nightclub. It's usually quite to normal volume Mexican music like any normal Mexican restaurant but last time was like someone multiplied the noise level by a factor of 10 or more. But we had a very loud noisy experience our last time that really ruined the last experience... And when we politely asked if they could lower the music the lady couldn't speak English so we just had to sit there and take it, essentially eating in silence bc it was so loud we couldn't hear anyone even right next to us. This was on their 10 or 25 anniversary or something but really ruined our meal & make us wonder why they would celebrate by ruining all their customers meals that day. Management should rethink stuff like that. I guess it might be fun for the employees to blast music as loud as a nightclub and dance instead of doing their jobs but it's not very fun for the customers who can't get much service and can't talk to each other while they're eating. This whole experience made the people I was with never want to go there again, even though I tried to say that this was probably a one time thing and that the food is really good, but yeah, my friends & family will sadly not be back. Plus I would think they would at least hire staff that can at least speak basic English. I can understand not knowing big works but not knowing basic English like: 1st attempt by my shy friend: "ma'am can you please turn down the volume a little bit? Bc we can't hear anyone at our table at it's giving my mom a headache." 2nd attempt by me: "IT'S TOO LOUD!" But no... the Lady responded both times with a "my hair pretty? Thanks" I was truly mind blown. Truly a horrible experience to spend money on. We can't afford to go eat often so it sucks when we end up wasting our money on a wasted experience like this when we could've had a better experience at home for less. Truly a letdown.
