Stopped in for dinner with the family in February on a Saturday night. Was promptly seated, and the service was on point. Good house salsa and chips, the pitcher of margaritas was a great deal and delicious. The food came out quickly and everyone enjoyed their order. The seafood burrito is pictured, we also had the quesabirria tacos, kids taco & quesadilla. Would recommend especially for a bigger party.

The food is good, I would say average taqueria or a little above average. There was a weird dark spicy sauce that came with the tacos. I don’t know what it was, I’m used to a greenish sauce, like guacamole/cilantro/jalapeño sauce. The service is very poor. It took a while for them to take order. Once ur food arrives, the waiter disappears until it’s time to clean. The check took a while to get picked up so we just paid at the front.

Only 4 because I only had quasobirria and got a burrito take away broke it down so it could travel. Great food so far and have a decent variety of tequila, not just Jose.

ask for the habinaro salsa good if you like something little hotter than the regular house hot.

friendly and attentive employees.

Nacho Daddy is a fun and inviting space that offers good meals. The food is good, but it is cooked a little bit too quickly which makes me wonder how much is from scratch.

The presentation of the food and the service we had was excellent. The fire with the fajitas was entertaining and tasty.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem of Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Minnesota

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.

Never a bad meal, reliable and delicious every visit. It’s a place we go back to regularly with family to come together, celebrate, reunite, when loved ones are in town. Everyone in the extended family has their favorite dish. Starts with chips and salsa, fantastic and broad menu to choose from, delicious margs. And even more special on a birthday. And the staff!!! They make you feel like you’re part of the El Rodeo family. Can’t go wrong here!

We have been coming to El Rodeo for years. Within minutes of being seated, an always friendly wait staff brings fresh chips and salsa. The service is always fast, the food authentic and delicious. This is a family business and they seem to really care about each other and their community.

Quick and friendly… was seated right away, chips and salsa promptly with our drink order. The waiter was great, took order with changes, no issue. Food was top notch we will be coming back again and again. The enchiladas are out of this world! We tried the beef, cheese, seafood, and chicken. Would have to recommend them all.

We absolutely love El Rodeo. We have been going here for years and have never had a bad experience or bad dish. Our favorites are the Tacos al pastor & the chimichanga!
