Ordered the Botana for 4 and easily could've fed 5 or 6. Lots of food and sides which was nice. The green salsa was the best in my opinion. They have outdoor seating with fans and TVs but we took our order to-go. Outside they had someone playing live music and it wasn't a bad night to be outside. We called in our order ahead of time and probably had it done within 30 minutes. Good food good portion size and friendly serbic read more

El Rodeo Taco Express - Botana Mix For 4 - Mexican Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Order Botana for 3. El rodeo offered attentive phone etiquette. Ate at home with food arriving warm. Food was good. Chips nice and cheesy. Loved the grilled onion and jalapeno with melted cheese. Throw a jalapeno in your flour tortilla with a sprinkle of salt. Yum! read more

And make sure you look at your ticket when picking up your orders they try to add a extra tip for the the cooks !!! Really last time I Oder from them !!!!! I will report them to the small BBA read more

I've ordered from here multiple times, and it just seems like it's getting worse. The tacos were not good at all.

Food was nasty. I ordered birria tacos. Tacos had almost no meat at all, birria sauce was not good.

The food looked like it would have been nice but they ran out of fajita on a Thursday.wasnt there long enough to figure out if the service sucked but it prolly would. The music sucked.first and last time going read more

Food is tasty and the loaded potato is delicious as well as the birria, but last time I got a type of napkin on the taco & a bone as well. And they barely had any of the birria. read more

Had the tacos de maiz with tripa & trompo then the waiter said they were out of trompo so had to get bistek, bummer. The charro beans were descent nothing spectacular. Friend ordered the quesadilla plate. Rice was horrible to say the least, no salt no flavor just blanned. The beans were edible. The tacos on the other hand were pretty good. Liked the tortilla de maiz they came with a bit greasy which is totally normal, good portion of tripa & bistek. Service was OK. I've had better tacos elsewhere, probably won't be stopping by this place again anytime soon. Liked the setting, yellow light gives it a nice vibe. Drinks were priced average. The place was clean, parking lot as well. read more

Had this food with some friends. I had the hamburger, which included guacamole inside and it was delicious!! The fries were nothing special but were still tasty. One friend had the torta and she thought it was really good!! Another friend had the papa which was rather large and had a lot of meat in it. He really enjoyed his meal. read more

Food is pretty good, the sopes are the best thing I've had from the menu. Only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 is because sometimes they do mess up the orders when I order for take out, other than that it is a solid go-to place read more

The Botana for 4. Nothing else to say. This was the only Mexican food we ordered while we lived in McAllen and the only thing we miss about living there. read more

Service is dreadful. Our first time here, we had to repeat our order several times to the girl at the counter, DF. Our food took over 30 minutes to arrive and that was after I got up twice to ask if it was ready. It came in "To Go" packaging. Nothing EXPRESS about it!!! Food was great, delicious actually. So if you want great food, pack your patience. read more

This place is pretty awesome. They have a variety of food and you can't go wrong with whatever you pick. The food is also decently priced. The only bad thing I could say is that sometimes it gets so busy that there's no parking and no room to sit, so if you stop by get there early! Other than that, this is a great place for tacos or a torta! read more

I ordered 6 corn tortilla tacos with Fajita and a Baked Potato with cheese, butter, and sour cream. The tacos come in orders of 5 but the server ordered me an extra taco. Good God those tacos were amazing. The meat was super fresh and seasoned perfectly. Very juicy and oh so tender!!!! The tortillas were doubled and lightly toasted with a little bit of oil just the way I like them. Ok, The potato was HUGE! Between the three of us we were barely able to finish it. The flavor was ok but missing something (probably bacon) so why did I give this place three stars... the atmosphere, lighting, and outdoor seating was not my cup of tea. That's why this place is an Eeehhhh! for me. read more

The food is delicious, great multi item menu, good prices and fast turn around from window to table service. Definitely recommend to others.

This place has crappy food. The atmosphere is toxic and the food is gross. The tacos are very greasy and and slimey. They claim to have good Mexican food but the truth is taco Bell is more Mexican than this place. And if you think I'm not Mexican then I'm right here puto! Vergasos outside the parking lot alv. read more

OMG! I have been here about 4 times already & I have never been disappointed. Their fajita is so soft, it is amazing. My favorite item are the lonches! I thought you had to cross the border for good lonches until I ate them here. They're almost twice the size as the little lonches from Mexico (Progreso) and the torta is very soft. read more

El Rodeo Taco Express - Fajita lonches with avocado and cheese - Mexican Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Not sure what the hoopla is all about for this place. We went and the food was nothing special. We waited a horribly long time for service. Waiter didnt get the order right. Brought the grilled onions after we ate the tacos and the constant wind blowing and flies was HORRIBLE as there is no inside option. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is the tiny amount of fajita I did get in the tacos had a good flavor. Wont be back read more

Mouth-watering food, grand portions, reasonable prices, and friendly customer service. This place never disappoints. The dining area is currently closed due to COVID - but their curbside is terrific! Calling in an order is easy; you can view the menu on their Facebook page. read more

I ordered flautas with guacamole, which came with a side order of fries and fajitas to go. The service was quick, perfect for when you're on the go. They have an outside dining area to enjoy your meal. Food was pretty good and decently priced. read more

There was a young hispanic girl working behind the front counter, and she was one of the most unpleasant people I've ever met! Really ugly attitude... not sure if her parents never taught her manners or if she has a miserable life. Other than that disgusting encounter, the food was really good. I recommend all the way and will definitely go back! :) I'll be sure to eat there next time.. the guy waitressing seemed really nice! read more

So good. Got the Tacos, and they were delish, and only $7.00! The servings are huge. Me and my husband almost wished we shared a plate. Service was efficient. Will come back soon! read more

Gotta say after contemplating where to eat, what new place to try we ended up here.. the service was good food was awesome got there just before the live music was about to play. I guess after reading some bad reviews on here it seems to be bad luck or something ,with ppl experiencing bad service.. to me the place was running smooth , customers where going in and out with there order.. like I said it's a hit or miss on a bad day at any place that you go to eat.. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

The food is really good but it's surprisingly expensive considering it's a dive with outdoor seating only. I didn't like eating outside considering the cold, drizzling weather we've had. read more

Sincronizada heaven. Papa asada with mollejas is my FAVORITE. Stumbled upon this place driving to my client, and enjoy some tacos or potato whenever I am in the area. Too good. Some of the staff leave a lot to be desired, but the food is too good to leave anything less than 5 stars. read more

I never thought I'd find a place with similar Mexico burgers and wow this place is super good, great customer service, and good price for a big burger with fries I'll definitely visit again! read more

Wow!!! A friend from Brownsville told me I had to try lonches while in the area. I tracked down this place through Yelp. And it worked! The food was absolutely outstanding! But so was the atmosphere and service. My coworker had a taco plate and that looked great to. I'd be a regular if I lived in the area. Since I dont, it'll haunt my dreams. read more

I can definitely say that this is my go-to for taco/ torta/ botana cravings. They're honestly one of my favorite places for some real Mexican food. The only problem is the wait is usually insanely long and it's so hard to reach them over the phone. In the end, the food is worth it. read more

I witnessed a waitress making fun of customer last year and the manager didn't do anything. Wow plus the food was not the way I wanted it.

great tacos!! bistec were seasoned very nicely and tender. the mollejas were also pretty tasty and soft. tacos weren't too greasy like some places I've been too. was disappointed that lonches and trompo weren't avaliable that night. papas were huge..enough for 3ppl. Definitely coming back to at least for the lonches. nice outdoor covered seating. Meat quality should be expected good since next door is their very own Meat market. read more
