“ I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing, the staff were all kind and friendly. Quick service. The refried beans and salsa which is made in house was terrific. And for any other motorcycle enthusiasts, they have motorcycle parking! ”
“ This is our second time dining at El Rodeo. The food and service are great! The atmosphere is definitely "diner", but in a homey way. I had the Acapulco Cheese Steak wrap with salsa, rice and beans (11), my wife had the steak and chicken fajitas, also with salsa, rice and beans (12). Both were excellent! I also had a 22 oz draft Dos XX and my wife had a raspberry iced tea. Total bill with tax was 39. Very reasonable and delicious. Highly recommend stopping in. ”
“ Drinks were large and good; salsa was delicious and food was good. Service was great, patio is lovely. ”
“ Absolutely thrilled with this Mexican restaurant! It is truly my #1 choice now since moving back to Maine from Nevada 4 years ago. I have missed authentic Hispanic food and have only felt like I was back in the South West a few times at Mexican restaurants here in Maine. I cannot sing praise of my experience enough, I’ve been telling everyone! Had a lovely first time sitting down and experiencing a few dishes with my friend. I love that they have kept the foundation of the retro diner appeal with added touches of Hispanic flair. Fantastic service and kindness, adding to the overall wonderful atmosphere. My meal made me so happy I almost cried lol Instant fan! Excited to try out more of their dishes in the future! Loved everything, but highly recommend the nachos (I’m serious), I was immensely surprised and happy with them. Plus, they weren’t piled in a mountain of greasiness, so delicious! Can’t wait to get them again ”
