Taqueria El Rodeo

We were passing through and decided to stop at this spot.I loved the tables and chairs. They're different and gives it a rustic look which is not typical of most Mexican restaurants I've been too. We got flautas and carne asada soft taco & chile relleno combo plate. Taco was delicious, fresh corn tortilla and big everything about it was delicious and chile relleno was one of the best I've ever had from a restaurant. Cheesy and the egg was fluffy had really great flavor. Chicken flautas were really good too. Beans were tastyRice was on the blander side and a little sweet but not bad. We'll be back to try more things the menu had a lot of stuff. Definitely recommend stopping by if you in the area.

We were looking for a good lunch spot to break up the drive back to the Bay from Yosemite and were drawn to El Rodeo by the promise of delicious posole. I'm so surprised there are not more ratings for this place, this place is such a hidden gem!Ratings Breakdown:2/2 Stars for Taste-- We were a party of 5 and got a little bit of everything to share. The posole was as delicious as advertised -- the generous pork chunks had the perfect ratio of fat to meat and just melted in the mouth. The pork was similarly fork tender in the chile verde and the sauce had a surprising amount of tartness to break up the heaviness of the meat flavor. My husband ordered the chimichanga with tripas and, man, we would definitely come back for more tripas. We also ordered the carne asada nachos to appease my mother and they were super generous with the toppings -- we had to use the complimentary chips to scoop up the extra. The favorite dish of the day was probably the enchilada mazatlan, which was bursting with succulent shrimp and smothered in crack sauce. Don't forget the delicious handmade corn tortillas they serve -- perfect to sop up all that saucy goodness. 1/1 Stars for Value --Dishes ranged between $15-25, but serving sizes were huge. They don't skimp on the guac or meat. We ordered 5 dishes for 5 people and, including tax and tip, spent about $21pp. We were super stuffed and had to take leftovers home too. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service --I'm not usually one to care about customer service, but the servers here really stand out with their friendliness and attentiveness. I think no less than 5 different servers rotated and checked in on us throughout the meal. They were super fast to bring us chip/water refills as well as extra plates and utensils when they found out we were sharing.Bonus star because I don't know when I'll be back in Los Banos, but this place definitely is bookmarked for the future. I need to come back and try the menudo!

Dinned here with friends last night. Negra Modelo on tap! We are off to a good start. Had split the Molcajeta with my wife. Our friends get theirs without pulpo and steak. I thought it was good, but it's a lot going on. Steak was a little tough as was the pulpo. Food was good, though I think I would order it just with chicken and shrimp. Great atmosphere and service.

What a cute little restaurant! A nice open environment with a visible kitchen so you know they have nothing to hide. We were greeted right away. They have a lot to offer on the menu. When I told the server it was our first time there she told us about some of the most popular dishes. I took one of her recommendations and ordered the Cameron's Al mojo de ajo which is shrimp in garlic sauce. My man ordered the grilled filet of sole. The salsa was very yummy but I didn't have a chance to eat very much as our food was on our table very quickly! My 10 shrimp were delicious. What a beautiful and satisfying meal it turned out to be. I tasted my guys fish and it was equally as tasty! Nikki and Denise provided top notch service! They were attentive and extremely friendly! This was a very lucky find today. What a great way to start out the New Year! Hope you are able to try it out!

We stop here occasionally while driving through town, partly because it's a short walk from a charging station for our PHEV. The restaurant has recently been redecorated and is very bright and clean. The chicken bowl (a new menu item) was nicely seasoned, and the shrimp and tortillas in the shrimp tacos tasted especially fresh, though a little sauce for a mild kick would be welcome (I added salsa).Server Denise was especially friendly. We'll be back next time we're passing through!

Second time visiting here while in the area and they still have some of the best carnitas I've ever had. Hands down, worth the stop!

I had a great time at Rodeo. I had the Tacos Rodeos. They were some of the best Ive ever had. Staff was extremely kind. Will be coming back again soon. 10/10

The best camarones a la diabla! Chef's kiss! The place is clean and lots of room for small and large parties.

Great food always consistent. Recommend it highly. Very consistent food and great service and super fast. 5 star

I don't know what kind of taqueria this is, but it's definitely not Mexican. The food is bland and lacks flavor. The salsa tastes more like lime juice than actual salsa. This is more like Tex-Mex, not real Mexican food. The burrito I had barely had any meat, and the beans and rice didn't taste good at all. Even the chips tasted off. Wouldn't recommend this place.
