"Great and Inexpensive. I may sound crazy, because some people say they don 't like this place very much, but to me, it 's some of the best cheap food I 've ever had.<br/ <br/ $3.99 Special!!! Let me say it again… $3.99 Special!!!<br/ <br/ It 's hard to get out of a fast food restaurant for that price and this stuff is made by hand with loving care by some of the best guys and gals from South of the border. Fresh salsa, great chips, flavorful ingredients and they 're service is lightning fast too. More times than not, the salsa is pretty spicy... that 's a good thing in my book. El Rodeo has got handling a busy lunch down to a science. The place starts getting packed shortly after 11 a.m. and it 's still full at 1 a.m. Even during the busiest rush, the service doesn 't suffer.<br/ <br/ Today was no different. I got there at 12:30 p.m. and the place was packed, but I still got seated right away at a nice little table close to the big screen TV. Watching TV isn 't why I came here, but catching ESPN in the early afternoon never hurt anyone.<br/ <br/ The look of the place has really changed in the last couple of years. They have all new murals painted on the walls of tough looking Mexican bull riders and their hot little Latin maidens. The place is just downright cool. And the outdoor seating… I didn 't even tell you about that. It 's huge, with wrought iron tables and colorful umbrellas. There 's so much foliage around that it feels like a tropical oasis.<br/ <br/ Enough of the environment… Let 's get to the food. I usually come on Wednesday 's or Thursday 's. This being a Wednesday, #5 was the lunch special. $3.99! I always go for the chicken, so the lunch came with a chicken taco, a chicken burrito, and a side of Spanish rice. The plates are always filled up and covered in creamy Mexican cheese. Awesome!<br/ <br/ Each table has a selection of hot sauces based on taste and they help accentuate the great flavors in the food. If you couldn 't tell by now, I 'm in love with this place and you might be too, if you give it a shot. I try to come here every week or so. I wouldn 't want to eat here more frequently than that, or I might get a little pudgy around the middle. (That 's a joke for those of you who know me; I 'm 'portly wide. ' <br/ <br/ Atmosphere: Nice, clean and relaxing even during the lunch rush.<br/ Service: Extraordinary... really. They need to sell their system of service to other restaurants. The servers are always friendly and they get your food out in a flash. That 's a huge plus if you 're trying to grab a fast lunch.<br/ Overall: Good, inexpensive food that tastes great and will fill you up.<br/ Special Note: I 've been eating here since before my kids were born. I love it and I 'm looking forward to many more years of belly filling experiences here. Enjoy!"
