We visited Sea World and were very hungry after we left. We were going to stop at a different restaurant nearby, but it was packed and we didn't want to wait. Tacos El Rodeo De Jalisco had a slightly better rating, so we decided to go check it out. I was nervous because there was only 1 table with people eating. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Service was fast and excellent. The food was excellent. The salsa, beans, rice, tortillas and guacamole were all some of the best I've ever had at a restaurant. My daughter ordered a kid's cheeseburger with fries. I was skeptical because she is a picky eater. Her burger was huge and she ate almost the whole thing. My plate of fajitas was huge! They open early and serve breakfast. The restaurant is very clean. Prices were reasonable. I realized while we were eating that most people get takeout, which explains why there were so few people eating there.

While I have not dined in (clean, nice atmosphere, evenly spaced tables). I have ordered take-out numerous times. And each time my order (breakfast) has been made hot & fresh. Taste of food has always been savory. Staff are always friendly making eye contact (a plus in my view). With good morning and have a nice day. I will definitely continue to go back. And recommend them.

What a wonderful hidden gem this has become to our family. I used to stop in for tacos all the time. My wife and children have also frequently stopped in after our son's football games. On this review, I would like to acknowledge employee Emma. We had called to let the restaurant know that our family would be planning a dinner after my sister in laws viewing service. We did wait a little for table service, which is completely understandable as we were about 20 deep. Emma stepped up to the plate and got what we requested from the kitchen and how we would've liked it served. Thank you, Emma, for taking good care of us as we are grieving but need to also eat. We will continue to stop in and enjoy more food options off the menu and hopefully get you or at least someone who can do what you provided us with today. Thank you to the staff and the chef who pushed our orders out in a timely manner.

The chips and salsa could have been better but at least they were free. Service was fair. Food quality was good with excellent portion sizes (Texas plate and Gordita plate). Horchata is always well prepared when I visit. Menu could be more descriptive.

First and foremost, you got to try their chilaquiles. Tacos chips bathed in guajillo chile peppers, which is the right way doing chilaquiles. The flavor is delicious. The waiters are very nice people and will attend you ASAP. I recommend this place.

We were pleased with our visit. The prices were reasonable, with one exception. I was charged $6 for rice and beans. I could have ordered another whole breakfast plate for that. The salsa was delicious, and the corn tortilla were some of the best we have had. We will return again sans the extra rice and beans next time.
