El Rodeo Meat Market

I like the market itself they have a
Good section of Mexican candy and what not but I will never ever buy meat from there. The guy behind the counter couldn’t tell me where it’s from besides that they get it from okc and the meat was just so full of food coloring. I decided to buy one steak but it had an odd smell and tasted yucky.

I dropped in here hoping to find a bottle of Tajin seasoning. I found that, and much more. The store is a good place to search for items that aren’t often found on regular supermarket shelves. But the meat market and kitchen are what brings in people of all culinary backgrounds.
In addition to an unbelievable selection of fresh meats, El Rodeo has a kitchen area that prepares and serves food daily in a cafeteria style setting. One can either eat in the small dining area or carry out. Communication can be a problem sometimes if you’re not bilingual, but it’s worth the trouble.
Gorditas with a choice of several different fillings are available on weekends, as are chili rellenos. The gordita is a cornmeal pocket filled with either prepared meat or vegetables, and is a great way to sample the various types of prepared beef or pork offered there. Warm tamales are tasty and come by the bag. And if one is adventurous enough, he or she might sample such dishes as beef tongue stewed in green chili sauce, or cow’s stomach (I’ve enjoyed the tongue, or lengua stew — I think I’ll let someone else sample and report on the stomach, though).
These aren’t Tex-​Mex items. If you want the same generic dishes smothered in cheese sauce, go elsewhere. But if you want a good sampling of more authentic Mexican cuisine, El Rodeo is worth a visit.

This place is awesome. They have everything I need to maintain my Mexican status. Kids love the pan dulce and ice cream. Wife loves the Tortillas and everything else she needs to cook. I come on weekends for breakfast and weekdays for the deals. They have also started to make TostilocsTostilocos. If you haven’t checked it out yet I suggest you do.

This place is great to shop at, large selection of quality meat! Can’t leave without pastries though.

They have a great selection of meats and marinades meats. And they offer a 15% military discount on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. And a 20% discount on meat for everyone on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3−6pm. So Tuesdays and Thursdays are good days to stock up on fresh meat. Staff is always very friendly and helpful when I come in. I haven’t tried their cooked food yet but I’m looking forward to it as it looks delicious. Feeling hungry? I just come in and buy their ‘Paleta Marinada” and slap it on the frying pan. Delicious. Even my husband looks forward to it. When we are out he asks when my next trip to the store will be. =}

El Rodeo is a well stocked market, specializing in meat and in Mexican and other Latin products. It is also one of my favorite places to shop.
The layout is simple. On the right, a small produce section. To the left, cookies, candy, and canned goods. Straight ahead you will find an extensive meat counter and a small lunch counter as well. Don’t forget to also look up, where you will find colorful piñatas. Oh, and search the far edge of the store for baked goods and cold drinks, including Mexican sodas (In glass bottles, and made with sugar cane instead of corn syrup.)
My favorite time to shop at El Rodeo is when I am hungry. I order at the lunch counter and then fill my basket as my food is assembled. I pick up my hot lunch and pay for everything at the register. Some days I head home before I dive in to my too-​large container of food, but I usually sit in the small seating area and take advantage of the hot sauce and paper towels that are readily available. Though I have not yet taken advantage of the service, I was happy to see that they are now offering to cook almost any meat you buy from them. I plan on taking them up on the concept soon, and will be sure to time it so that I can go home and place it immediately on the dinner table.
Prices are reasonable. I find that I spend more than I mean to as I want to try something new every time I’m there, but always also order the tried and true. No matter. One can never have too many tamales!
If you go for lunch, I highly recommend the torta. It is a simple sandwich. Buttered, grilled bread, mayo, cheese, meat, avocado, lettuce, and tomato. So simple, but so perfect for an inexpensive, tasty meal.

Very clean, great prices, and everything you need for a Latino meal. Three days and three visits! The places is amazing. Going back tomorrow to get carne asada for a Sunday Football BBQ! Enjoy.
