I do not want to write this review as this place has been a go to of mine for several years. I have noticed the usual price increase as that’s becoming the norm everywhere however the food has declined recently. Today I went for lunch and was seated at a table that had not been cleared with 3 clean tables around this one. This is an easy fix however the roach that ran under the table is not something I am willing to look beyond. I hope the management corrects some of these issues quickly.

El Rodeo is clean, spacious, and still manages to feel intimate and welcoming. The décor is tasteful, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for a casual meal or a small family gathering. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The chips and salsa were fresh and delicious; definitely a standout! I’d happily come back and bring more of my family with me next time. 10/10 Recommend (Pictures of meal attached: Chimichangas and Grande Specia)

I'm from out of state. I've been to many Mexican restaurants across the country in the deep South. Let me tell you this was the BEST one I've been to. Authentic dining experience. The salsa, guac, queso, Fajitas and street tacos were superb. I can't wait to go back. Magnifico.

Fantastic food and even better service. The servers always make me feel special when I come in. One time they got my to go order mixed up with someone else and the manager fixed it lickity split. I have came here a bunch and I will keep coming back.
