I love tacos and this place did not disappoint. I am glad I tried them and you will not be…read moredisappointed. It is tucked away inside the Shell gas station. Perfect set up and convenient. 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.

Staff was friendly, really can't complain. My burger was stellar. Cooked just right, served open faced, had a lot of pickles. I can remove those easy enough, especially since it was served open face. The veggies were fresh, not that whitish stuff they use at sonic or taco bell. I wish i had gotten more fries. They are served with some sort of seasoning, and its tasty. That's my only complaint... I wish I had gotten more fries.

This was a good burger with fries. You did good for us two!!

We paid $100 for 3 meals and a Coke Zero, each meal tasted like it was cooked hours before and reheated. Two of the meals were "chef specialties" and they were awful. The chimichuri carne asada's chimichuri was more of a verde sauce with way too much lemon juice- it was extremely tart and was poured over the entire plate. The meat was even worse, poor quality. The burger made my wife feel sick after eating half. The only hot thing on our table was the French fries that came with her burger- everything else tasted old and was room temperature.

I was craving Mexican food, so I decided to try El Rodeo. The restaurant had a really welcoming and festive feel. The staff greeted me with a friendly smile, and I immediately felt at home. I ordered the enchiladas, and they came out quickly. They were covered in a rich, flavorful sauce and packed with a lot of cheese. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and authentic. The service was fantastic; my waiter was attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. It was a truly wonderful meal and a great experience all around. I left feeling completely happy and can't wait to go back. This is definitely a spot I'll be recommending to friends. read more
