Went to El Rodeo on a Taco Tuesday whim. My date and I indulged in the Tuesday specials, the tacos and the margaritas. The ground beef and chicken tacos are the ones on special. Both were excellent! I really enjoyed the chicken tacos. I had a steak taco to try it and it wasn't bad either. Julio was our server and her was very good and attentive to our requests. The restarant had a fun colorful vibe which made it very inviting. I will be back! read more

A friend recommended this place and we stopped in. Pleasantly surprised. Ice cold beers. Margarita's that are fresh and not all syrup. We both ordered the pineapple fajita. Thats right, a fajita served in a cored out pineapple. Fresh and delicious! If you are in the area - check it out. If you are not in the area, check it out - its worth the trip!! read more

Awesomeness! We enjoyed the food and the service! The El Rodeo Mexican Bar & Grill worked together as a team to maximize their amazing delivery their food to our table. It didn't matter if their restaurant was packed, the service was genuine and fast. We now are sold on their food for life! Plus, we loved the restaurant decorations and tables. read more

The food here is delicious. I had the Enchiladas Verdes. I've also had the Chimichanga plate. The food is also fresh and served with presentation in mind. In addition to the food being authentic, the decor is colorful and Mexican music is played for a great ambiance. The service is great too! read more

Went for Cinco de Mayo and it was awesome. The place is pure Mexican and the service can't be beat. Even though the place was packed, our server was always there and when she was waiting on another table another would come over and update a drink or include another item. My wife got the pineapple fajita and it could have been a meal for two, it was awesome. I got the carnitas dinner and it also was awesome. It is definitely a place to return, as well as try, for the first time, as you would be disappointed. read more

We were craving Mexican Food and Yelp brought us to El Rodeo. The service and food were excellent. Margaritas were very good as well. Wife had shrimp tacos and I had steak fajita quesadillas. Both were full of flavor. The salsa was very fresh. read more

Very good Mexican food, service is good and ambience is very colorful, the restaurant is small and cozy, we had fajitas, delicious.

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area. The food is great, the price and quality cannot be beat. The service is always friendly and fast. The interior is smaller but comfortable and clean. read more

Delicious! Loved the salsa so much. Vegetable fajita had carrots which I thought was interesting! Rice and beans were yummy too.

Reopened under a new name, same family and chefs and menu choices. Service is good but slows when they get busy. Food is served fresh and hot though the chili rellano was a tad bit mushy rather than crunchy. The pineapple fajita was a unique dish, though opt for less cheese on top and leave it on the side. The decor is the same fancy tables and chairs that we were used to under the old name. read more

It's nice to see the El Rodeo chain out here in Sun City. The area is filled with Mom & Pop Mexican Restaurants....which is not a bad thing, but occasionally I like the fully decorated Mexican theme which is El Rodeo's trademark. This establishment has been open 8 months, and still no Yelp page! Plus, no customers...Could there be a connection? Yelp page added, hopefully customers will follow! I ordered the Shrimp Ceviche Michoacáno ($16.99) to go. Check out the photo! The presentation was excellent even in a carry out container. Plenty of bits of shrimp, pico de gallo, crackers, and avocado. Only 2 thin slices of lime. Still was delicious. Solid 4 stars. read more

Can't say enough good about our local Mexican gem. This place always goes out of the way to please their guests. Food is always fr3sh, cooked perfectly and generous portions. The new ownership try's to make every visit a true pleasure. Our last visit I asked about charro beans, owner said they didn't have any but would consider adding to the menu and asked if I had tried Charro Black Beans, I can't wait to try them Stop in you'll be a new fan and be back often read more

I was really excited to try this place! Fun decor, Wait staff was very kind and attentive. But, the food was just "ok" . Carne asada burrito was a whole thin steak served that had to be cut up and you had to put it all together. After living 6 years in San Diego, I've never seen it served this way. It was tasty but definitely not tender and took some cutting to slice it up. I will probably try it one more time and get something else, but for this particular visit-definitely a 3 star. read more

Absolutely loved our meal. This is our third time visiting and we will definitely be back. Their hot, hot sauce is wonderful. So is their regular salsa, I just enjoy hotter. Their tacos are amazing. The ambience is bright and cheerful. read more

we gave this restaurant 2 tries. I really wanted to like it and the service was good. The food however not so much.If you prefer the more american mexican food than you might. The frozen margaritas were good and we happen to go on a Tuesday and they were on special read more

Great find in the Ruskin area. Good food, reasonable prices, and great service. El Rodeo is a solid option, specially considering how close they are to Los Amigos, which is the local spot for mexican fare. They are definitely holding their own, and are a solid option. Can't go wrong with this place. read more

An unexpected gem in Ruskin! We almost drove past after seeing the unassuming exterior and almost empty parking lot. But WOW! What a great little restaurant! Great food, good sized portions, friendly & efficient service, and it won't break the bank. Very reminiscent of small town restaurants we've visited in Mexico, but a LOT cleaner read more

OMG I love this place! I visit the area frequently and go just about every day. It's a beautiful place and the staff are wonderful!

Love this little spot for some amazing Mexican food, and the service is always great. The staff are friendly, and the food is the best in town if you want something close to authentic Mexican but not so spicy you can't taste anything else. Definitely an absolute favorite of mine! read more

Wow! Busy, busy, busy. Taco Tuesday draws them in. If you're thinking of going there, be ready to wait for a table 'cuz the word got around about the $1.99 tacos. Restaurant could have used one more waitress as the ones they had on duty were super busy. read more

A much welcomed addition to Ruskin. Mexican food that reminds me of our roots in Los Angeles California. Great ambience, great food and backed up with really good service. Now they have cold beer and Margaritas too!!! read more

Food and service were excellent and we love the interior! The street tacos were very good! We'll be back!

The place has good service as well as good food. This is small and quaint restaurant but very friendly and fast service.

Came here for the first time tonight, and I was pleasantly surprised! Not only is it a cute place, but the food was delicious, and they had great service! We will definitely be coming back! read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to the food is amazing. Margaritas are strong. Beer is cold atmosphere is fun. Ray and his crew are so friendly. It's like they've welcomed us in as family always has smiles on their faces. They take pride in their work and their food. My beer was never empty. I will always come back to this Mexican restaurant. I will never go to another one this little gem should stand out in Ruskin as one of the best Mexican restaurants I could eat here five days a week. read more

Went to El Rodeo with a group of 30 people. We called weeks ahead of time because we were such a large group. The place was pretty small for so many of us, but they did their best. The decor is very interesting, a little bit of Mexico, lots to look at. All in all they did a pretty good job. I had the wings and really enjoyed them. The food was very good, but I recommend not going with a party of 30. I will definitely be going back. Ole! read more

Great food - fresh tortillas! Food was Served quickly after placing order. Prices were very reasonable. Cute decor inside!

If you would like to expand your experience with Mexican food beyond the usual fare, then this is the place. The food is excellent, the decor is real Mexico, and the service is fast and friendly. I had the chile colorado, which is a beef stew where the sauce is made from dried Mexican peppers. It is a little hot and somewhat spicy, but has delicious flavors which I imagine most people have never tasted. It was excellent. The menu has many items I have never had, and I will be back to try them (if I don't get the chile colorado again). The flautas were also good, as were the accompanying beans, rice and tortillas. I thought the chips and salsa were unusually good as well. If you really want to try authentic Mexican dishes, this is the place. read more

Wow!! What a pleasant surprise. Best Mexican food I've had in a long time. Just moved to areas and will definitely return

Hands down the best Mexican food around. Fresh, well seasoned and delicious. I just wish they were located closer to my house!

Tried El Rodeo for the first time and we will be regular customers. Great service, very clean, very authentic food and great price on margaritas. My wife had the carnitas dinner and I had the street tacos with pastor, both were delicious. read more

This used to be Buchos. I loved Buchos and El Rodeo is if the same caliber. Similar decor and ambiance, quality meals, and great service. We enjoyed Chips and salsa with a guacamole appetizer and house margaritas. For our main entrees we had the vegetarian enchiladas and chimichangas (one beef and one chicken). Everything was so good! read more

We have lived in south South Texas so we are a bit picky about our Mexican food places. Having tried several in the Southshore area we did not have high hopes trying out El Rodeo even though the reviews were strong. We were impressed as soon as we entered! It was neat, clean and cheerfully decorated! Service was prompt, smiling and helpful! Salsa for chips tasted freshly prepared. Chimichanga and California Burrito were both well presented, enormous and very delicious. You will definitely need a to go box. Finally, if you love great Flan they have homemade Flan which will make you a Flan addict! Get some to take home to enjoy later! read more
