I would not call this Mexican Food – This seems to be a Des Moines favorite but if you are used to real Mexican Food dont waste your time or money. I lived in Phoenix for 20 years and I am used to good Mexican food. The Rodeo is NOT good Mexican food. If you don't know what good Mexican food is you will probably like this place. The service is ok but gets overwhelmed at times and slows down. The food was just a half step above Taco Bell (I would have preferred Taco Bell since I would have expected what I got). Like other peo... read more
Fast Food in a sit down resturant Food is cheap for lunch the service is fast. Just don't expect too much flavor and they usually have a lunch time drink special on margaritas.
El Rodeo - NO MAS! – Having just moved here from Arizona my wife and I were needing a Mexican food fix. El Rodeo came highly recommended so we tried it out...several times. Unfortunately, each visit left me with the same impression...ugh! First of all, what is with the processed cheese? My wife loves enchiladas and I was amazed that they were served topped with processed cheese! Where's the Queso...and I'm not talking about the cheesy sauce that seems to be served everywhere in this town! Use fresh ingrediants...please! Ever... read more
Previous reviews are a bit overrated. – Found this resturaunt to be better than the chains but not as good as preious reviews claimed. My biggest complaint is all the dishes we ordered (I was with my family of 11) were not as flavorful as they should have been. My kids and wife all said the same thing - "just not very tasty". On the pros side - we did get good service, the portions were generous, and the prices very reasonable. Depending on what you are use to - you may really like this place. We will probably go somewhere e... read more
Quickest Quality Mexican in Des Moines – Being from Phoenix, I can tell a great place to get authentic Mexican food. I'd reccommend this place to anyone who doesn't want to wait all night to get seated and then get their food. Drinks and meals alike are increadibly reasonable. You could easily stay under $20 for two people, especially if you take advantage of the FREE chips and salsa.
skdinger – My husband and I visit the original El Rodeo location at least once a week. The staff is incredibly friendly - it's so nice to be receive a genuine greeting when you walk in. The food is great, inexpensive and always right on. You never have to worry about quality. The margaritas are the best ever and also inexpensive. Forget the big chain restaurants, El Rodeo beats them hands down.
great mexican food! – Whenever we go out for mexican, my husband and I go here. The service is wonderful, the great food is always served hot, and the prices are reasonable. I also recommend the margaritas, although don't have more than one if you're driving!
