My wife and I have been eating at El Rodeo now for the past year or so. We've been there for our…read morefive times over that time period. The food has been consistently hot and fresh, of good quality overall and tasty! My wife's go to meal has been the Tacos al Carbon, which she really enjoys. The portion size has always been adequate. I've had the El Combo Plate, the El Lopez, a mixed Enchilada Plate, and Birria Tacos. I've also enjoyed everything I've eaten at El Rodeo. Recently, we opted to return to our previous go to Tex Mex restaurant (El Fenix), because of the price increases at El Rodeo. Probably the biggest advantage El Rodeo has over El Fenix is menus choices. El Rodeo's menu is more extensive. However, El Fenix has a full bar and better atmosphere. Whereas, El Rodeo does have somewhat of hole in the wall ambiance, with much simpler furnishings. As far as overall food quality, my wife and I both agree that El Fenix has the edge over El Rodeo. Interestingly, both restaurants have almost the exact same salsa recipe. Both taste fresh, but both are also fairly watery, which, for me, is a fail. I prefer a salsa with I guess more of a tomato base. I mean, I still eat the salsa at El Rodeo, but it's definitely not the star of the meal! The chips at El Rodeo are better than those at El Fenix. (I did not intend for this to be a comparison to El Fenix, it just worked out that way, because I'm a little delayed on submitting this updated review on El Rodeo.) I do very much appreciate the large drink mugs at El Rodeo. I've would have to literally chug one's drink throughout the meal to even need a single refill. The mugs are HUGE! So, we'll be back to El Rodeo despite the pricing increases, but probably not as frequently as we would like. Times are tough and value shopping, even for dine out spots, is paramount! If you try El Rodeo you won't be disappointed, so do give it a try! Eat well, Be well. Cheers!

The food is hot, fresh, and flavorful. There is a good variety. The menu is in Spanish but that was not a problem for me. You can always google a name for research. I actually did not research my first order. I went with what sounded good. This is what I ordered: Taco plate with rice and beans. Two taco flavors Birria and fajiqueso. Birria - 10/10 very tender, beefy, well seasoned, slow cooked. Very well stuffed taco. Fajiqueso- 10/10 even better than the birria, the meat was tender, well seasoned, sooo flavorful with the meaty cheese. I really loved this one. Rice - 8/10 not over cooked, fluffy, not dry, fresh could use a bit more seasoning but still good. I added some of the salsa to elevate the flavor. Beans - 8/10 creamy, loved the sprinkle of cojita cheese. Ok in flavor could have had more seasoning. Still enjoyable. Green sauce mild. Red sauce spicy.

It is nice to have something that isn't Tex-Mex because we see a lot of that (too much if you as me). I liked their tacos (steak) and I love a good sopes. The salsas are spicy and the agua frescas are perfect to round off your meal. I personally wasn't a fan of the chicken and the birria consume was a little too salty for me.

My husband and I love trompo tacos, tacos, Mexican food in general but every Mexican restaurant that we've tried near our home has been just okay or not good. For dinner we decided to dash our food since we had a long day and everything was still super fresh, hot, and delicious. Perks? It's very close to our home! We're very picky about cleanliness in the flavor and when we say cleanliness we mean the ingredients they use and how fresh everything was when you open your meal and that first bite. The first bite was the trompo taco fully dressed with extra green sauce....soooo good and it hit all of the marks. We highly recommend and we're definitely ordering here again!
