Standard American Mexican. It's inexpensive, nothing surprising, nothing special. You'd do better exploring other less generic Mexican choices. Pros: Cheap, Really cheap lunch...

surprised! 9/21/2008

very surprised that El Rodeo was as good as it was. Very cool atmosphere, serves cold Corona's and very large burritos. Kind of challenging location to find. I recommend the burritos, there may be other good options but when i think of them, I think of freshness...which is always a good thing! Pros: Different but very good. Cons: Hard to find more

Standard Mexican Fair 5/10/2006

Been here a few times for Lunch. Usually its crowded and the Salsa is OK. The portions are modest compared to other Mexican restaurants. The Food Quality is OK, nothing special. Selections are standard fair. The service is good and the wait staff friendly. The Price is very reasonable but, considering the portion, its right on par. I am guessing the other reviewers dont go out much as there are better Mexican restaurants in the area. Pros: Price, service Cons: portions more

Good lunch, served quickly 1/5/2006

El Rodeo is a great spot for a quick, hearty lunch that costs about the same as the average fast food joint. The service is fast, but it is good, too. The menu can be overwhelming, but I suggest you try the ""Rodeo Lunch"" -- very tasty. This not ""four star fine dining"" by any means -- just good food, served quickly at a good price. that combination makes it a recommended place for lunch as far as I'm concerned. Pros: Inexpensive, Attentive service, Convenient locations Cons: Can be crowded more

Friendly, Fast, Delicious 6/15/2003

The servers at El Rodeo are friendly and helpful. Since I eat here a few times a month, the person who usually serves me even remembers my food allergies when I return. Their chicken fajita burrito is great, and their salsa, while mild, has plenty of flavor and more bite than most ""Mexican"" restaurant chains in NC. Pros: Friendly Servers, Great Food, Inexpensive Cons: tempted to overeat more

Typical fare 10/21/2002

Typical fare, this place is totally identical to every other Mexican joint in the Triangle. I like how there's a string of reviews that rated this place ""10"". Not fishy at all. Duh. Pros: cheap, cheap, cheap Cons: You get, what you, pay for more
