Coming from Boston I was looking for delicious Mexican food in Texas. I found it at El Rodeo De Jalisco. As casual as it gets with Mexican food as good as it gets. The flavors are deep, rich, and complete. The tortillas are fresh. The sauces are flawless. The options are ample. Maybe the best Mexican food I've ever had...and yes, I've been to Mexico.

Adorable little Mexican restaurant with good food. This was our first visit but we will be back to try more things! Prices are reasonable. Want to try the chicken enchiladas next time…. along with the gorditas. FYI, the flour and corn tortillas are both made fresh in house… Update: Came back and the chicken enchiladas verdes were good. The chicken was very moist and the flavor is in the bottles salsa verde (the salsa on the enchiladas is very mild but the bottle is the perfect addition. Other favorite we tried is the texas plate with the carne guisada that was perfect! Kids loved the huge flautas. Also tried the posole and that was not a hit, too bland for us.

My absolute fave. Love the staff. Prices have always been reasonable. I have been going there since an accidental discovery of it on Hwy 281 in 2006. The fajita quesadilla is my new dish. Thank you Edwardo and Maria!!

We found a little sweet spot, didn't even know it was there! Good authentic Mexican food, fast service, and friendly staff! However my favorite part was parking in back and walking to the restaurant! See pictures , great photo ops here!! Texas plate and Crispy Tacos plate, not greasy at all with very tasty salsa!! Spoke to the proprietor, she hand made everything and the Guacamole was the best I've had in awhile!

Wonderful hidden gem for authentic Mexican cuisine. They have the best homemade fresh gorditas that we have ever had. My mom had them around 2019 and has been pining over them ever since so for her birthday this year 2024 we were FINALLY able to go back. They did not disappoint. They also have several dessert options. I did not try them this time, but it is on my list for my next visit. The staff were very professional and courteous. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. Also, the drive is beautiful on the country roads. They do have a drive through as well if your on the go!
