Yikes! Let's face it, if you are familiar with the area, you know there is no shortage of Mexican joints within a stone's throw of each other. We decided this past Sunday to give El Rodeo a shot, despite a sub-par experience a few years back. The main reason was because "Kids Eat Free" on Sundays. Upon arrival, we first discovered that they are one of the only Mexican restaurants without a Sunday Happy Hour, and their margarita prices are higher than most $6.99 for medium glass), granted, they tasted pretty strong. We were told when we ordered that even though kids eat free (free $4.69 kids meal with adult meal purchase), the chicken tenders kids meals were still $2.99. "it wasn't our servers fault, it was the owners." Two kids ordered root beer and we weren't told by the server that they only had bottled IBC root beer which was also extra. Chips tasted like mass produced grocery store chips, salsa bowls were only half full and if you wanted a second dish it was extra $ and our meals were average at best. Don't waste your time on this one, drive about 2 miles north on Pearl to Don Ramon's where you won't be sorry or leave angry.
