My husband and I are spoiled and very when it comes to the flavor of our food.
El Rodeos’s reminded us both of home. We ordered a carne asada burrito and a mixed meat platter of street tacos that included carnitas chorizo and chicken. The flavor was full bodied without a lot of heat. The sides tomatillo sauces and mole were perfect! The pico de gallo was mild and without an overpowering tomato taste but a nice blend of tomatoes onions cilantros.
Food ratios were a perfect value and not overpriced at all.
Would it definitely stop by again if we were in the area

We absolutely love this place! Even our 4 year old loves it! The place is clean and the staff is so friendly and never rush or hover over you. The food is awesome – I would say better than the Portland one. The margaritas are very good. We come here at least once a week. Definitely would recommend this place!

Stopped in for a late lunch during happy hour. Food was great, I had a taco supreme from the happy hour offering and a dessert from the regular menu. I loved the fresh chips and salsa also. Family ordered burritos, which were large and worth the price. They enjoyed them. Certainly will be returning to this location again soon.

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

I have been here a couple times now and also tried them on Doordash. The reality is, they are so-so. Not bad, but average enough that I’m not excited to go again. But, they are convenient for me with location and hours, so I will continue to go there until I find a better alternative or they win me over.
The bar drinks are perhaps their highlight. As for food, tonight I had carnitas that came with salad, beans, and rice. The salad was just lettuce and a spoonful of pico and a spoonful of sour cream. The carnitas were dried out. The beans and rice were tasty. For a starter they bring over chips and salsa, which is standard fare at Mexican restaurants. The salsa had too much cilantro and the cup it came in was too small. I had 10 chips and ran out of salsa.
The service was my biggest issue. Both times I visited, I had my food long before I had silverware. Most of the staff seemed like they didn’t care if there were customers or not. Not rude, Just indifferent.
Also, the posted hours and actual hours never seem to match up. Twice I went to visit during their posted hours, and they were closed. Tonight I was going to get a second drink, but they were closing an hour early.
UPDATE: I have visited one more time since my initial review (three visits and one Doordash delivery in total). The host at the door is perhaps the worst choice in the entire staff. This person seemed like they wished they could be anyone but here. My server was awesome, but the host that begrudgingly led me to a table was one of the worst hosts I have experienced so far, this place or elsewhere. Another issue I have is the way they serve the chorizo dip – on a ridged hot pan. This causes the dip to harden quickly. It also makes it hard to get the dip on the chips due to the ridges. I added a pic. It was tasty, but twice I ordered it and both times I only ate half before it congealed into hard useless mess. I honestly am giving up on them after four tries and looking elsewhere.

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!

Probably the best Mexican cuisine I’ve had here in Maine in the last decade plus. The margaritas are superb and lol quite big!
Good place, check’m out!

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Maine by far. The chips are always warm and fresh, and the salsa is delicious. Their burritos are top notch and very large for the price. Would definitely recommend El Rodeo if you’re in the area and want good Mexican

Stopped in to grab a quick bite to eat. Didn’t disappoint! I had the taco salad with chicken, and my boyfriend had the quesadillas. Both came out well prepared and cooked perfectly. The chicken was moist, the quac was good, and the rice was also good. I would recommend this to anyone!
