Editorial Review for El Rodeo Mexican Restaurant – by Trevor Holland

In Short
Don't let the thinly painted peach exterior prevent you from indulging in a fine, authentic, Mexican dining experience. Traditional sombreros and soccer flags hang beside mirrored walls, and there's plenty of booth seating to provide a little privacy. After plowing through the chips and salsa, choose from a number of combination dinners consisting of three items, from enchiladas, burritos, tamales, quesadillas, chalupas to chile rellenos. There are also more than a dozen vegetarian dishes available.

I am sorry I am not a snotty person from California so maybe I am not the best person to judge this restaurant. The food is cheap, you get it fast, and it is pretty good. Perfect place to grab a quick, reasonably priced lunch.

Pros: quick, cheap

Cons: a little dirty looking

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Incredible food that is even better than what I have had in Mexico combined with fast and friendly service is what makes El Rodeo the best Mexican restaurant in Raleigh and particularly this individual location. Tequila drinks are well made and portioned and so is the food. The chips are always hot and fresh and they keep the salsa coming. If you love great cheese dip and guacamole they have you covered there too. I have been eating there for years and this is the place to go if you want the best Mexican food. They have also redecorated over the past two years and now sport a very artistic and tasteful decor and interior that I really like. You can't go wrong with El Rodeo.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Attentive Waiters, Great Food, Nice Decor

Cons: None but parking can be a challenge on weekend nights.
