We were quite surprised by this restaurant. The service was prompt and super friendly. Inside the restaurant is not that large which is perfect for my family. Mix of families and singles. The chips and salsa was really good. My son was eating the salsa straight from the bowl! I ordered the beef enchilada and chile relleno dish. The portions were quite large. Their chile relleno was one of the best I've had so far in Fresno. Beans and rice were good as well. My mother had two ground beef enchiladas. Definitely will be back! read more

For years this was our consistent spot for Mexican food. The service was reasonable, and the food was good. Over the last year or so they've really taken a downturn in service and quality. The wait times have increased and the freshness of their food has worsened. We decided to give it one last shot. I really wish we hadn't. I ordered the usuals, a pork tamale and a chicken enchilada. When the food came out it looked freshly cooked, not like it had been sitting under a heat lamp, so that was good. The biggest problem was the tamale. There was about a centimeter wide two inch long micro strip of pork in the entire tamale. It was basically a big wad of masa. So I sent it back and asked to have something else. Not a big deal, at least I thought. Instead of just exchanging the item for another one, a woman came out from the back, I'm assuming the manager, and proceeded to start an argument with me saying that there was pork in the tamale and that I was mistaken. I told her that there was next to none in it and that I would like a replacement item. Then she dug her heels in deeper and started picking the tamale apart in front of me and arguing that there is pork in the tamale. To top it off she gestured like she was going to hand it back to me. Motioning that this is what I got and I had better eat it. She finally backed down when I told her that I wasn't here to argue with her and that I was here to pay for good quality food and that it shouldn't matter if she was able to spot trace amounts of pork in the tamale, it still wasn't a good tamale. It's pretty embarrassing having someone come out from the back and instead of just swapping out the item, deciding to pick a fight with a customer in the restaurant for everyone else to see. How humiliating, juvenile and unprofessional. We went there for years but because of this, we're done with this place. There are better Mexican restaurants in town that won't send staff out to talk down to you if you don't like their food. These guys can sit and spin on their porkless pork tamales. read more

Pleasant service. Even when they are extremely busy the food comes out quickly. Food is authentic and delicious! It's always consistent and exactly the same as last time. It's our go to for Mexican food. read more

Been eating at El Rodeo for years. The food and service are excellent. We go at least twice a month, we have brought family and friends. Everyone loves the food. read more

I'm normally very happy with the food and service but I picked up my dinner to go last night and got home to find my order was wrong. I had to drive all the way back for the right food and didn't get offered so much as a drink or anything for having to waste my time and gas. No apologies either. Value your customers more please read more

I went to another Mexican restaurant tonite to compare their food to el rodeo, taco ,enchilada,chili relleno,pazole,chili verdi burrito, el rodeo blows the them out of the park!!!!! Do your own taste test and judge for yourself. read more

I was there with a group of ten people, thought that would be a problem with that many but food was brought out fast. Great service and the food was excellent. read more

This is some of worst Mexican food I have ever had. I ordered a simple taco salad with shredded beef. There were a few chunks with some meat but most of it was fat and gristle. It was absolutely disgusting. Nothing had much of any flavor even the salsa. I really don't understand why this place has such good reviews. read more

Didn't get what I asked for, food was cold and no flavor. Food was all on the side not even in the burrito. Called the store and the guy was very rude to us. My mom and I have Covid and so we couldn't get to go to the store, they told us if we had come in we would've gotten a different service which makes no sense because we payed for shit food. Would you pay $13 for this??! read more

El Rodeo Mexican Restaurant - Wouldn't recommend - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, California

Can't recommend this restaurant. Their signage claims authentic Mexican food. None of the tacos I have ever gotten in Mexico had grated cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes on them. I also ordered a fajita burrito, however it was fajitas rolled into a flour tortilla. Both ends were open. I had to roll it into a burrito myself. We waited longer after ordering the food then we waited for a table. When the food came, my taco and burrito were luke warm. My girlfriends sides were so hot they burned her mouth. Perhaps work on one ticket at a time? So the whole table has hot food at the same time. The service was great though. The staff was pleasant and most accommodating. read more

The portions here are huge: I got the chimichanga and when I saw the difference between half order or full order on doordash I assumed that half was a half of a chimichanga. I was happily wrong when I chose full order and got 2 large chimichangas. Sides were good. Guacamole and salsa were good and I would get this again for sure. read more

We hadn't eaten here for about 3 years and decided to have lunch. The food was excellent service was great. I believe it has improved greatly since it opened so if you haven't tried it lately, you should. It is now our #1 favorite. We haven't had Mexican food in Clovis this good in years!!! read more

Had a few items delivered from here. Usually order from Bobby Salazars but they were closed. So glad I tried El Rodeo. Best food I've had in a very long time! read more

The food was exceptional. The chicken fajitas were full of flavor. The guacamole was outstanding and for sure homemade. My husband ordered the asada fries. The were the best he'd ever had. We stubbled alone this place and will definitely be back! read more

This place was Awesome! Went with my Gf and her family for lunch and it was delicious! Ordered a combination plate with a shredded beef taco and a Chili Verde Taco with beans and rice. Was amazing! Great service and on top of our refills for drinks, salsa and chips. We also ordered a El Rodeo Burrito to go with Chili Verde for dinner later and it didn't disappoint! I'll for sure be back soon and a new favorite Mexican restaurant for me! Can't wait to try out other menu items and their menudo! read more

House Margarita.. was served with green salt?!! Unfortunately not for me. This was a plain, basic Margarita and my business partner had a pomegranate Margarita which had a green salted rim as well . Neither one of us tasted or felt any alcohol. We didn't order any food for fear it was plain as well. The young waiter was pleasant. However, he didn't have answers to our questions.. like why the green salt? How's the house Margarita? We were trying to find a great margarita so unfortunately we will not return. read more

This restaurant is a favorite now. The food is delicious. The prices are reasonable too. Some female staff aren't pleasant and seem bothered or annoyed. I hope this doesn't get in the way of me coming here... Customer service is so important to keep a business thriving...... read more

This place has new owners, they used to be excellent! Now it's very average! Please give feedback they need to rise to the occasion!

You valley people have absolutely NO clue what good Mexican food is! This is one of the WORST restaurants we have eaten at and yet you like this sub par restaurant! You must've eaten garbage all your life plus they charge for things other restaurants don't charge for! read more

This Mexican food is one of the best I've ever had. The enchilada sauce and the rellenos are exquisite. The most consistent restaurant for tastiness and quality. This place is second to none. If I keep going back time and time again, with me being an utmost foodie, then you know it's good. Try them even on DoorDash. It's the best hands down. read more

Clean restaurant, food was tasty, the taco shells weren't crispy, I prefer crispy fresh fried tortilla shells for my tacos. All and all a good experience. read more

This place is a hidden gem! They are quick, cheap, and I have never waited more than a minute to be seated! At first I was a little on the Fence. Seemed a little run down, and the Decor is not really make it seem like a Mexican food place, but behold, the food is worth the price. They have a good little lunch special, we always get decent service, and are never disappointed with our meals. I usually get a shredded beef taco and chili rellano combo, so I can save room for the beans and rice, which I usually never do or care about. But I really like theirs. They also have really good house made hot sauce. Try it out! Only complaint- could have Better chips and salsa. It's just ok. Nothing special. read more

Food was not tasty, overpriced, and service was lacking. Chips were slightly burnt. Carne asada nachos failed in the taste of meat which was oily and meat bits were oddly quite tiny. Tostada was small then plate was covered with overflowing shredded lettuce. They are listed as $$ in cost, but including tip we almost spent $50 for two entrees and two sodas. Service was attentive but everything that was placed in the table (utensils, salsa, chips, and even bill was placed at edge of table and not center or our individual areas). read more

The service sucks they are super slow, horrible service. Rude and gets to other tables before you. I would not recommend this place especially if you don't have all day to wait read more

Hasn't been here for a while, but had lunch today. I didn't remember how good their chips and salsa were! Now I'm addicted. Best chips and great salsa too. Service was great as well. read more

Their family enchilada meal is SO good and a wonderful value. We pick one up almost every Friday

I hadn't been to El Rodeo in a long time. I was working in Clovis so I decided to stop by. As soon as I was seated chips and salsa were brought to my table. My server took my drink order and brought it right out. I ordered the California burrito for lunch and it came out quickly. It was absolutely huge and was quite tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. read more
