El Rodeo Mexican Grill

Great service despite being only one server. Food was great. Enjoyed my complementary soup and chips

My husband and I dined here a couple of weeks ago. It was around 7pm on a Saturday, and the place was empty.
The salsas given when you are first seated were not very flavorful. They were too heavy on the cilantro, and the hot salsa wasn’t very spicy.
I ordered the pork tacos, and they were ok. Again not very flavorful. You can designate how you want the tacos dressed, «Mexican» or «American «and got a little attitude from the server when I chose American. The flavor, again, was nothing special.
My husband’s order of Chile relleños was OK, but again, not great.
I asked for water, and it was very rusty tap water, they should seriously consider getting a filter.
One thing I didn’t understand was that my tacos were a la carte, and if I wanted refried beans and rice, it was $ 2.00 extra.
There was nothing in this meal or service that made me want to come back again. It was adequate.

I go here least once a week. I usually get the green enchiladas, ceviche, or pork tacos. The service is quick and courteous.

We dig this place, so it’s hard to understand why nobody I know has been there, or why it’s always empty when we go. I’ve told people, so I’m doing my part. I know I’m only giving 3stars, but ITS A REALLY HIGH 3stars, so…
Anyway, the couple times we’ve been there, it was quite good! We probably both ordered combo plates, as that’s generally what we do when we start going to a new Mexican place. I don’t remember anything specific, but remember that everything was great, I think once there was a chili relleno involved.
The 1^st time we went there, we tried the ceviche. It was super cool, cuz where else in Racine can you get a ceviche? It was good; we both enjoyed it. They serve it with chips for a nice crunch with the cool, citrusy fish. Speaking of citrus, when you go a little heavy on it in a ceviche, as they did here, it leaves the impression that perhaps the fish was not so fresh, and you’re trying to cover something. In fact any time I receive seafood that’s a bit cloying of lemon, I worry about that. No bite seemed fishy, and the dish was good. But the overt over-​lemon lemon-​poaching was encroaching… a bit of a lemon.

Very nice service. Excellent salsas and guac to start. Fajitas and Bistec a la Mexicana were both yummy and flavorful, but the steak tacos were just ok and chile rellenos weren’t very good.

Meal was very good, service was excellent, price was also good. Like that the dining area is now open and bright.

Good authentic mexican food with friendly service. Chille Relleno was cooked to perfection. Flautas were also good. Great refried beans. They have traditional jarritos and coke.

We stumbled on to El Rodeo by user comments. We were not disappointed. We ordered Enchiladas Mexicana al pastor, chicken tacos, and BBQ beef tacos. The seasoned pork in the enchiladas was top notch. The chicken tacos were phenomenal. The BBQ beef is what held this back from being 5 stars. The tacos were not as flavorful as the rest of the meal. Would definitely eat El Rodeo again.

This place was surprisingly AMAZING. Food was great service quick and good. Will for sure come back. Reasonably priced and worth every penny

Love it! If you like Mexican food, a restaurant to yourself, and good prices. It’s a great place to go.

1^st time here. Great service. Great food. We will be back for sure. You have to try the guacamole, gorditas, and the enchiladas. Sooooo good!

The food is delicioso. You have to mix the mild salsa and hot salsa together to get that perfect taste! But be careful. Don’t do what my daughter did. The food came to the table, it looked so good. The meat tenderizing, the sauce sizzling, and the jalapeño grilled to perfection. She grabbed the pepper and chomped on it without taking out the seeds inside. Oh boy did she suffer. Make sure to cut it in half and extract the seeds before you eat the terrific food!

We went there last night and the service was excellent, the food was great, and we loved the atmosphere. It was hands-​down the best chili relleno in Racine. Loved it!

Great food… Awesome service… Highly recommend!

Stopped in here after someone told me that it was a nice place. I didn’t even know it was there, relatively new. Right on the corner of Spring and State street. Lots of parking on the side (Spring street side).
I was very surprised at how nice it was inside, actually borderline trendy AND old world Mexican style. I had take out that day but will go back soon for inside service.
Menus is fantastic and extensive. Food is very reasonable and WONDERFUL!!!
The service was great (I had never been there before and they were helpful).
Don’t miss this place. We need more nice sit-​down places in that part of town.

First time here at El Rodeo. My wife is visiting her family here in Racine about a mile away and I snuck out craving a Burrito. To my luck, I found one real close, and it was absolutely delicious. I am pleasantly surprised, and will be coming back again for sure. Atmosphere is fine, the staff was really nice, the wait time for seating and being served we’re very short. A+.

There really isn’t much to NOT love about Mexican food. It has everything you could ever want in a meal and then topped with sour cream. I have a co-​worker who loves Mexican food even more than I do, and so when I asked her what would be a good lunch spot, she said El Rodeo.
It’s definitely worth a visit. The service was wonderful. The food took a little bit longer than «normal» but it was humongous portions and wonderfully prepared. The décor is a bit questionable in the realm of good taste, but this is a perfect little lunch spot for sure!

Excellent food and very nicely decorated
Good prices !!!

My new favorite Mexican restaurant. The tacos Al Pastor were outstanding!
