Reviews
ask for the habinaro salsa good if you like something little hotter than the regular house hot.
friendly and attentive employees.
The presentation of the food and the service we had was excellent. The fire with the fajitas was entertaining and tasty.
As someone who grew up in West Texas—where Mexican food isn’t just a meal but a way of life—I’m extremely particular when it comes to judging Mexican cuisine. That said, El Rodeo in Maple Grove has absolutely earned my highest praise. This isn’t just another restaurant—it’s an experience.
From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. The management and servers know your name, greet you warmly, and make every visit feel like a homecoming. Many of their customers have been coming for years, which speaks volumes about the consistency, quality, and heart behind this place.
The food? Unmatched.
El Rodeo brings that rich, spicy, and authentic flavor straight from Mexico. Every dish tastes freshly prepared with premium ingredients—nothing ever feels mass-produced or cut-cornered. Their chicken breast is sourced from only the best, and the same goes for their beef and other meats. You can taste the difference.
Start off with their incredible queso dip and chips paired with their homemade red salsa—bold, spicy, and full of flavor. Their beer is ice-cold, the tea is freshly brewed, and every mixed drink is crafted to perfection.
The ambiance is warm and cozy, with Spanish tunes playing in the background that transport you straight to a vibrant street in Mexico. Whether you’re out with the family or grabbing a bite with coworkers, El Rodeo offers a setting that’s both relaxing and energizing.
Ample parking, plenty of space inside, and zero pretension.
This is one of the very few places in Minnesota where I don’t even check the price—because I know the food and the service will be well worth every dollar.
Do yourself a favor: stop in, say hello to the staff, and introduce yourself. Chances are, you’ll leave with a full stomach and a few new friends.
As a 20-year food service professional and a self-proclaimed harsh critic—this 5-star review is well earned.
Enjoy your visit… and thank me later.
