In town for business and this place looked like it had good reviews. Walking in to pick up a take out, they were busy and also seemed very disorganized. I let one person know I was there for a pickup and they told me to wait in "line", which was anyone's guess as to where the line was. They also didn't ask for a name or any way to identify as to when my food was up. After I went back to find out about my food, turns out it had been sitting waiting for a few minutes. Half way through my first taco, I discovered the meat was still raw. Second taco had a lovely hair in it. By the time I got to the third, the shell was almost falling apart because it was so soggy. At least I still had my chips and salsa right? That was until my second dip in the salsa to find, yes, ANOTHER HAIR?!? This place is DISGUSTING!

Went for cinco de Mayo, so naturally it was slammed packed. Seemed they only had 2 waiters in the whole place, but we all know hood help is hard to find. They were doing their best. I got the birria tacos, they were very good but not the best I've ever had. But I would go back and try some other items.

Wonderful service here! They do have a large menu with lots of options to choose from. I ordered their birria tacos, I thought they were okay a tad oily and not the right consistency. However, the fajitas and the quesadilla were great! Ordered their large house margarita and it was good and strong! Located downtown.

After visiting Artspace in downtown Raleigh, I wanted to grab some food before the Carolina Hurricanes played. Right next door is El Rodeo which is a Mexican restaurant. I've heard of this place and I always wanted to try it, so I made today that day. El Rodeo is a great spot if you wanna take someone out for good tacos and drinks, it's amazing for groups and even if you're alone and just wanna vibe, they have a bar as well. We were seated immediately after walking in and I knew what I wanted so I didn't waste time. I ordered the Texas ACP (Arroz Con Pollo) ($15.25). It comes with grilled chicken, steak strips, shrimp, onions, bell peppers and tomato over rice covered with cheese sauce. It's said to be served with flour tortillas on the menu, but I didn't get any when my dish was brought out. I wasn't concerned because I didn't want tortillas. I also had a 16 oz lime margarita pitcher ($8.25) as well. The margarita is smooth. One of the best margaritas I've had. It's not strong but you can also tell that there is alcohol in this drink. This one drink is enough for one or two people and it does the job. The Texas ACP is delightful. Very pleasant to the taste. The portion size of this entree is enough to fill you up and still have some to take to go. The ratio of meat to rice was in favor of the meat. So much chicken and steak strips with nice size shrimp covered the rice to the point that the rice looked nonexistent. Once you mix and stir to the meat in with the rice you can see the cheese, rice and vegetables too. The dish was very hot and flavorful. Everything cooked just right. The steak strips were tender, the chicken and shrimp was seasoned just right and the rice was just cooked. Nothing left over. I really enjoyed the Texas ACP a lot and the margarita. Id always go back for that and to try other things as well.

Arrived for a late lunch and the restaurant was a little busy. Still good service. I was greeted with the menu and the usual chips/salsa. Salsa is served in a small carafe which is nice. Less waste and easier to refresh. Chips were firm and did not break when scooping. A good plus.For lunch, I chose a chicken dish (can't remember the name) that is topped with chorizo and queso. Delicious, served with rice and beans that I ignored as my keto diet suggests. A good portion and very flavorful.I enjoyed my lunch at El Rodeo. I'd return![Review 12488 overall, 2277 of 2019.]

Despite me ordering door dash, some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. It held up from delivery, and my plate was loaded up to the brim. Would highly recommend.
