Passed this food truck on a bike ride and later during a walk, intrigued, I had to try it out. El Rodeo offers lots of Mexican dish options, but I went for the tacos. You can select from a number of meat options. I chose four: the spicy pork, beef steak, fried pork and the shredded chicken. All were good and they come with pickled carrots and jalapeños, but the best was the spicy pork taco. Really enjoyed these tacos. I also got the refried beans and rice. They were very good. I read about their hot sauce in another Yelp! review and asked for some. Definitely a good addition to the food. Not over the top, but a healthy spice to kick it up a notch. The food truck is neat. You have the whole menu on the side of it where you order, and if you don't want to eat outside, they have indoor seating! Pretty cool! Check it out. read more

Solid choice for mexican food. Both of us enjoyed the burritos and were filled to the gills. That is to say, food is good and portions plentiful! Staff was very nice. Worth your time! read more

Excellent, authentic Mexican food. I always love getting the chicken fajitas. If the cashier who is always behind the counter at the Gallatin Valley Mall location wasn't such a crabby shit I'd give 5 stars. read more

Not a lot of flavor. Everything was lukewarm. My favorite part was when I asked for a different bottle of Coke because the attendant took off the top and I said I'm taking it togo. Instead of giving me a new bottle of Coke, he just finagled the cap back on. Not noticing, I put it in my bag and the whole bottle filled my purse. Not a lot of fore thought. read more

Visited the old white school bus location (taco truck): Had the carne asada tacos ($2.00 ea), super fresh meat, cilantro and onions and nicely grilled tortillas. Also had the carnitas burrito. Wow, huge chunks of pork and the freshest beans, lettuce, tomato and cilantro. I'm from San Diego, where every corner has amazing taco shops. This was very very legit. Muchos gracias read more

YUM. Large portion size. I had the green chili burrito. The burrito + drink + 15% tip =$16. Food truck. People working there were originally from Mexico; good recommendations, people skills. TV playing music videos inside bus. Places to sit inside. Fun place. 100% recommend. Fun date place, not serious talk about relationship date place. read more

El Rodeo - Verde burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

El Rodeo is a real treasure in Bozeman. Don't judge a book by the cover, this place is a food truck, but is a bus sitting in a parking lot. They have a few picnic tables set up if you want to eat there. I wish we had El Rodeo in my hometown, the food is amazing. This is true Mexican food at its finest. The staff is friendly and helpful, and truly appreciate your business. My husband had the shredded beef enchiladas served with rice and beans, the beans actually had flavor unlike many Mexican restaurants. The sauce on the enchiladas was a bit spicy, it seemed simple, but had levels of flavor. I had 3 tacos and they are street sized, but filled to the brim with goodness. I chose 1 shredded beef taco and 2 carnitas tacos. They all were scrumptious and were topped with chopped onion and cilantro. The meat is so flavorful, tender and high quality. I truly miss this place. read more

We lived most of our lives in California, the last 10 years in an area where there was a taco truck on every corner. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL ! Tacos great, Green Chili Burro great. read more

I was craving chili verde and this bus was in the area. The food was just alright, the price was that of a sit-down restaurant. The container they placed the food in was cracked all the way around and leaked all over the seat of my car. This semi-ok food was not worth the headache. read more

Hands down best Mexican food in Bozeman! Authentic, fresh and friendly.. what more could you ask for! This place is the real deal, and their new bus has inside seating so it's tacos rain or shine! read more

call ahead and expect yummy warm tacos when you arrive! really great service and consistent quality! Don't forget to ask for the hot sauce;)

Great service and amazing food. By far one my favorite Mexican spots to stop at when I'm here in Bozeman. Portions are wonderful and prices are hard to beat read more

lukewarm food, undercooked rice, cheese on the enchiladas and inside weren't melted, sour cream was just thrown into the box on top of the rice, boyfriends burrito was basically just fries and lettuce no meat. not friendly staff and you feel rushed when ordering. would not come back. for authentic mexican this far from it. read more

El Rodeo is getting 5 stars because it really is the top 2 best Mexican spots in Bozeman (La Tinga is a close second...) You get really authentic dishes here, and you aren't paying for anything fancy. For instance, you either eat at their food truck location or in the mall. It's nothing special, but the special part is the food. It's incredible, haven't had a bad thing yet. Thank you to the high heavens! We finally have some good Mexican food in this town! Woohoo! read more

El Rodeo - Tacos only $2 each and Asada burrito. So good! - Mexican Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Correct address: 2825 W. Main, in the mall! The address listed must be for the food truck. Wow! Very authentic, delicious Mexican food in a very unsuspecting place! Among the best I've had, and I grew up in San Diego! They aren't winning any awards for plating, but who cares when it tastes so good? The prices are reasonable too! read more

I was in bozeman for 4 weeks and found out about this place the last week I was there. Spent easily over 100 bucks as I went there every day during lunch. Great food! Loved the asada tacos and asada burrito! Yum. read more

Was shopping in Bozeman w my family we live outside of town about an hour and was craving Mexican food. This food truck was an absolute delight. We ordered the Montana Burrito tacos quesadillas and enchiladas. Needless to say we were very hungry. The food was fresh delicious and so satisfying I cannot wait to go back! Even my Dad who wasn't that interested "eating out of a truck" was shocked at how good everything was. Love love this gem. Thanks El Rodeo! read more

If you go you can expect your burrito to be full of rice and beans with little meat and vegetables, basically they put all fillers in your meal and dress it up to look authentic and to save themselves money from serving an actual authentic Mexican food meal and any self respecting Mexican knows rice and beans on the side not in your burrito to save them money, if you want fast, fresh authentic Mexican food, hit Ramirez trailer right around the corner then you get what you pay for along with friendly service and not a smile with your bill because they just loaded your food with rice and beans. Avoid el rodeo but if you want to throw money down the toilet this is your place. read more

El rodeo is my favorite place, maybe, in the entire world. Cannot go wrong with the tacos or green burrito. Go to the truck for a good time and grab some horchata absolutely read more

We stopped by while in town when we saw they had lengua! However, they didn't / wouldn't make a lengua burrito, so I had to settle on some tacos. Overall pretty tasty but charged for extra salsa and a refill for a drink while we were waiting for our take out order. read more

Best Mexican in town, huge portions and are in a delivery app which is awesome! The Verde burrito and enchiladas are my favorite. They also offer American for kids if your kids don't like Mexican, that's a score read more

Solid taco truck for Montana...Average taco truck for nationwide. The flavors were there but mild. The carnitas burrito was decent but needed a kick of flavor. The asada tacos needed seasoning. Staff was friendly and efficient. read more

This place is a winner! Friendly service, nice variety of traditional and unique options and hefty servings too. I had the tacos which I expected to be the small street tacos - so when my 5 full tacos showed up, I was pleasantly surprised. I had 3 shredded beef and 2 chicken. They were all juicy and had just enough spice. I'll be back - I want to try one of those mondo burritos next time. read more

Bozeman finally has good, authentic Mexican food! They have now opened in the Gallatin Mall and I hope they stick around. The first time in the 3 years I've been here from CA that my craving has been satisfied (and I've tried all the "mexican/texmex" places around here at least once). The enchiladas verde were good and pork was perfectly tender. Also very satisfied with their chips and salsa - big portion. Tacos and tamales good as well! May have found my new spot. read more

Yo, Bozeman--take it from this Texan: El Rodeo is one of the best kept culinary secrets in town. I know the mall food court is off-putting, but take a chance and treat yourself to the only authentic Mexican food I've had in Bozeman. Support this local biz! Pro-tip: go with the $2 tacos! read more

Food here is seriously so good, I always get the tacos and horchata and man I love it!!! Highly recommend getting food from here.

So so good! Been to both the truck and mall locations, both of which have been consistent and delicious. Authentic, fresh, and best salsa verde I've had in a while! read more

Food is authentic and delicious. That is all. Do the people of Bozeman a favor and eat here so they stay! If your idea of Mexican food is black beans and cheddar, this may not be your place. read more

It's really slow..authentic Mexican food for sure if you want to wait for an hour minutes for a plate of tacos for three of us. Ridiculous!

Shortly after moving here from Austin, TX I started having some serious taco withdrawals. Thank God for this place! The tacos are authentic and so very tasty. El Rodeo just gained a new regular. read more

Gave them another chance. Meh. Tortilla chips from a bag (hint, good tortilla chips are not round). Nachos heavy on the salsa and jalapenos, light on the meat. Burrito, beef fajita this time, still nothing to write home about. read more

Been trying to find good Mexican food in Bozeman for some time now and this place is a great little spot. Awesome tacos and affordable prices. I am definitely going back. read more

The food is good for a truck but the employees are very rude. When they screwed up my order they got mad at me and started swearing at me in Spanish and that is not how you treat customers that eat at your place at least once if not multiple times a week. I can't find a registered business license for them and no way to contact the owner. So hopefully he reads this and teaches his employees about customer service. read more

What? Why are there only two other reviews for this place. It's in the dollar store parking lot and there is a Hawaiian ice stand right next to it. What the hell else could you need in the summer? With authentic taco truck (bus...) tacos, real Mexican soda, a snow cone, and strong UV Rays in a parking lot--you should just call it a summer (and diabetes with all that sugar) but really, it's perfection. The food is delicious. It's inexpensive (cash only). Service is speedy petey. Share a plastic picnic table with a stranger. One of every kind can be found at this place, appreciate it and enjoy it. read more
