I really don t know how to write this, but they asked me to review your location because I searched for it. I found the menu, not usable and decided not to go there because I was uncertain of the menu items. I didn t actually go into the store or eat the food so I gave a five star ranking on that, I know that it s five star it s just that I chose to eat someplace else because their menu online sucked. I gave 1 star on service because of the menu That s not the same thing bad about the company and just plain fact, I had no attention or reviewing this, but she reached out to me and asked me to review it so here you go, best of luck in your business and maybe next time I ll stop by and eat

I had heard this place was a good little hole in the wall and Im all about trying new restaurants! This is one of the best local Mexican restaurants in the area, in my opinion. Only about a 15 minute drive and definitely worth it. The drinks, sweet tea, chips and salsa, and food were all delicious! We will be back! Wish it were a little bigger but then it wouldnt be a hole in the wall joint. El Rodeo may just be one of our new favorite spots!

Update: Don t order in the last hour before closing. They gave me half cooked poblano with microwaved cheese. Chewy. Disgusting. Never coming back. This was a few months ago. Previously: Food was great. Came quickly after ordering. Would recommend for lunch. Had beef fajita enchiladas. Rice and beans were tasty, no sour smell like some other places that keep wrong temps or serve old. Probably will not need dinner after this.

Hey, if you want good food and service, this is the spot. Everything Ive eaten there has satisfied the taste buds and the belly. The staff is welcoming, friendly and kind. The burrito loco has to be the biggest and most delicious burrito Ive eaten. Who wouldve thought little Lavon would be keeping this secret? Dani is amazing btw..

One of our favorites! Especially for a quick or last minute meal. Usually pretty fast for pick up, little longer for dine in. But it is affordable and their salsa is literally the best! Love it when they don t make it too watery. Then it is perfect! They should jar their salsa and sell it because my family would definitely buy it on the regular! We love getting their Mexican Tacos, Perla s plate, or cheese enchiladas. We ve also ordered their fajitas, el rellano, tamales, tortilla soup, charro beans, and sweet tea. It is all good! Hopefully they will sell their salsa soon!

Ladies and gentlemen, if youre looking for a night of pure entertainment and margarita madness, look no further than Dannys Margarita Tango! What happens when you mix a guy named Danny, some tequila, and a dash of enthusiasm? A comedic masterpiece, thats what! Dannys Enthusiasm: (5/5) Lets talk about Danny. Picture this: a guy with more energy than a hyperactive squirrel, shaking and stirring margaritas with the finesse of a caffeinated bartender on a caffeine overdose. His enthusiasm for margaritas is infectious, and hes not afraid to show it. Dannys energy levels are through the roof, and watching him in action is like witnessing a margarita-induced tornado. The Margaritas: (5/5) Now, lets get to the main event - the margaritas themselves. Dannys Margarita Tango serves up the most mind-boggling margarita concoctions youve ever seen. From the classic lime to wild combinations like jalapeño-watermelon-cucumber, each sip is a journey through a flavor explosion. Theyre so good that youll start to believe that margaritas are the elixir of life, and Danny is the wizard who brews them. The Showmanship: (5/5) The show doesnt stop at the margaritas; its a full-blown performance! Dannys bartending skills are like watching a magic show where the magic is tequila-based. He flips bottles, juggles limes, and even attempts the occasional moonwalk (which, lets be honest, is more like a tipsy shuffle). Youll be on the edge of your seat, not knowing whether to laugh or applaud. Audience Participation: (5/5) What sets Danny apart is his knack for involving the audience. Hell challenge you to margarita-related games that will test your balance and coordination. Be prepared to attempt tricks you never knew you were capable of, like trying to balance a salt rimmed glass on your nose (trust me, its harder than it sounds). Conclusion: (5/5) In the end, Dannys Margarita Tango is more than just a night out; its a sidesplitting, margarita-fueled spectacle. Youll leave with your taste buds tingling, your sides aching from laughter, and a newfound appreciation for the art of mixology. So, grab your amigos, head to Dannys, and prepare for a margarita adventure you wont soon forget. Its a tear-inducing, belly-laughing, margarita-sipping extravaganza! Cheers to Danny!

If you have not tried El Rodeo Mexican you are missing BiG time. Authentic family owned and operated restaurant. Passionate family about their community and the quality of food. Support your community and have this restaurant flourish. You will love all what they offer, reasonable and delicious food hard to get these days. I am a big fan on supporting Mom & Pop, stay away from BIG corporate style food chains.
