OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!…read more Finally!!! Real Mexican Food!!! Washington State is NOT known for its food. Especially Mexican food. Most of the Mexican food in Washington State is "Blah". Only a very small handful of Mexican restaurants are just decent. El Rodeo is an oasis in a food desert. This IS the real stuff. The flavors that I miss living in both NorCal and SoCal. The food is superb! The service is excellent! The decor is very inviting. The next time I'm in Moses Lake I will sure to eat here again! I WILL come back to this place!!!!

We ordered the lunch special--two enchiladas with refried beans--and unfortunately, it was…read moreimpressively bland. Zero spice, very little flavor, and nothing about the meal felt worth the price. I ate just enough to not be hungry anymore, which is about the nicest thing I can say about it. We've eaten at El Rodeo before, and it really feels like this place has gone downhill while the prices have gone in the opposite direction. At this point, we would absolutely choose one of the local Mexican food trucks instead. Better flavor, better food, and usually a much better value. Really disappointing.

wow...thank GOODNESS we recently missed the west-bound Moses Lake exit to S******ks, and found Taco…read moreEl Ray Espresso at the next exit (172)!!! It's true - the best parts of travel are found in the detours!!! It was early (6AM), we were tired, hungry and just plain crabby for all of it. We waited, in (crabby) silence, while the truck in front of us in the drive-thru took away a HUGE order of food & multiple coffees. It was a good sign indeed!!! So. Our turn. We ordered from the generous menu of items hand-made-to-order; yummy truck food with a generous splash of Mexican spice and care. I had an incredible pesto stuffed homemade bagel, and my husband had an overflowing breakfast taco. SO GOOD!!! This is NOT fast food - you may actually have to wait 4 minutes (!!!!), but OMG!!! worth every second. And wait - that's not all...BEST. COFFEE. EVER! Fabulous aroma & flavor! This was all served by the kindest human being, who cheerfully shared that she's up and at work there by 5AM, 6 days a week. Otherwise, she "sleeps in" and is there by 7AM...!!! So, to anyone looking for a destination breakfast on I-90 a stones throw from Moses Lake, we'll see you there. We salute the hard-working & generous Team Taco El Ray Espresso! You made a huge difference in our entire travel experience, and, maybe, just maybe, saved our marriage (you know, missing an exit? hungry? tired? no coffee? )

The birria is…read moresome of the best birria I have tried, I make my own at home so I'm very picky about it and this had so much flavor! The consome also had a lot of flavor and the tortillas are homemade. Their salsas are also fantastic! I really like the red one with the birria. There was zero fat on the birria and it was so tender! The asada had good flavor but i got some fatty pieces so I didn't eat most of it, I've had better asada elsewhere but the star here is the birria! The birria tacos are $4.80 each, not bad compared to other restaurants. The inside can be noisy when there's even a couple of people inside but our meal was delicious and that's all I cared about lol.
