Y'all gotta try this place!!! Ok, so, I'm back in Nixon, TX…read moreon business and after attempting to find a place to eat that is actually still in business, I end up back at El Rodeo Mexican Restaurant. They are very much open for business, to go & dine in. There was plenty of ample parking. I was greeted upon entry and served chips & salsa...both tasted fresh and delicious. Told my server what I was hungry for and she suggested several plates. I ordered Steak ala mexicana Taco & a cheese enchilada. Taco on flour tortilla was generous helping of tender beef and mix of tomato & jalapeño. Cheese enchilada, OMG, just light a match to it and would have become "queso fondido"...thick cheese and bits of shredded carne guisada in the mix... by far "The Best" cheese enchilada I have had in years. The Staff here is very cheerful, friendly & knowledgeable of menu. Worth the trip here and if you live nearby, hope you get here soon! "Viva El Rodeó" !

She helped with selections and informing us of the specials. I went with the 3 tacos special and I ordered a chicken quesadilla. The food was amazing! I don't often use that word lol but I didn't even need to add any sauce to anything. That's definitely a plus for me. I couldn't grant it 5 stars due to instead of a quesadilla I received a chicken taco. I wasn't disappointed honestly because the food was great. Nice job crew. I will definitely be coming back Happy Yelping

I ordered their barbacoa plate with homemade corn tortillas. I am picky about my barbacoa and I've had bad barbacoa and this barbacoa was close to perfection as it was spiced to perfection and not even close to being stringy or dry. My over-easy eggs were also cooked to perfection. Plus one ordered her usual migas plate and exclaimed that this plate was also fantastic. There was enough food on her plate to easily split and it was a shame that even with my assistance we could only finish about two-thirds of the serving. Service was on point as we never lacked water or coffee refills. I also liked that a variety of sauces were provided with our meal. If you find yourself in Kenedy go where the locals go-to Taqueria Los Potros de Jalisco for a marvelous breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Do NOT recommend....not sure where all these five star reviews came from but our experience was…read moreNOT! We took two bites of our burger and left.. it was horrible! I don't know what kind of meat was on the burger but it was not a typical hamburger patty! It was mushy meat like they mixed something with it to make the meat go further! Will NOT return... basically we paid full Price for our meals and left two full plates of food! The only reason they got one star is because it would NOT post my review without at least one star.... And they didn't even deserve that star!

This restaurant is in business because it is the ONLY place in a small town where you can get a taco. It is DEFINITELY not in business because of the service. The owner is a very UNFRIENDLY & rude woman. She knows that the people who work, live or drive through this town have no other options (for a taco) so she does not feel any need to be kind to her patrons. We have had so many breakfasts & lunches here with slow service & inaccurate orders that I have finally just had enough. She has never once apologized for terrible service, burnt food or any of the other issues we have had. I have actually witnessed her argue w a couple about what THEY ordered before. I remember thinking... 'I'm sure this man knew what HE wanted to eat.' You would think that as a business owner she would want to make the order right & keep a customer but like I said, she knows that in this small town with only one blinking light that she has the only breakfast tacos available. So, she doesn't care. On top of the horrible customer service, the prices have done nothing but skyrocket while the portions have shrunk. I understand inflation but paying over $3 for a basic breakfast taco that is rarely full is just pathetic. So, unless you are just desperate (& have a lot of time to waste) keep driving about 10 mins & get great tacos in Nixon! Better yet, get BBQ across the street at Dimples. Also, when I read reviews I look to see how many other reviews someone has written so I know if I can take their review seriously or if they just might be a friend of the owner writing a review. It's pretty easy to get friends to write reviews for you. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer, I take writing reviews seriously. I want to help customers have great experiences & avoid nightmares. I don't like to write negative reviews. I used to only write 4 or 5 star reviews but people need to be warned about places just as much as they should be encouraged to visit places!
