★★★☆☆ 3.0 Gabrielle Trent · Feb 2026

Birria tacos were very bland and had little to no cheese. I’ve also never seen Birria meat so red before?? Maybe not a problem, I was just surprised to see the meat so red. Also $17 was too much for the quality. Also the cilantro that came with it was just a bowl of…cilantro..stems?? There were like 1-2 leaves but predominantly just stems. Quesadilla rellena was good, flavor-wise,but so liquidy. Service was very slow but friendly.

Good food, easy access and great service. This is your every day Mexican restaurant and it’s exactly what you’re looking for. The menu is huge so tons of things to pick from. And I won’t say anything in particular stood out but everything was enjoyable. That being said, the large frozen margarita was huge and the highlight of my night. I will become a regular for this margarita alone!!

The food here was excellent!! If you like fijitas, I recommend the Hawaiian fijitas, you get a mix of shrimp, chicken and steak with pieces of pineapple!! The salsa is homemade, the queso is creamy and yummy. The fish tacos are also delicious if you like seafood. Our server was very nice and friendly!! Overall restaurant was clean, food was excellent and the service was great!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael Bustamante · Oct 2024

I was visiting from out of town and I had the pleasure of dining at El Rodeo, and the experience exceeded my expectations! The food was truly delicious. The standout for me was the chicken mole, which is notoriously difficult to find done well. El Rodeo nailed it - rich, complex, and perfectly balanced. The service was attentive, friendly, and prompt, making sure our needs were met throughout the meal. What's more, the prices were incredibly reasonable. El Rodeo is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Gabby Buezo · Feb 2026

Food was fine, a bit unflavored for a Mexican place. Service was not great. Waitress rolled her eyes when we asked for separate checks. Then gave one check. There were no other tables there. Place has potential but very unwelcoming.
