El Rodeo Taco. Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

This is a very good taco spot. We stopped in for some tacos and ended up trying a few things from the menu and we were extremely happy with all of it.

The tacos are top notch, we had Steak, Fish, Tongue (Lengua), Al Pastor and Chorizo. The ingredients are fresh and very vibrant, I'd highly suggest getting them Mexican style with corn tortillas.

We also had tostadas which, like the tacos, are tasty and come with heaps of fresh meats and vegetables and really tasty refried beans.

The empanadas are delicious, we had ground beef and it's served with an extremely special pink sauce that we could not get enough of.

They do serve chips and salsa and the salsa is very spicy. I am a heat addict and I just love it but the average person may not be able to handle it and kids may need to avoid it.

The prices are very good for the quality of the food that you are getting and the service is impeccable, they treat you so well that it's a treat to return over and over. Also, they take credit cards so it's a breeze to pay right at the table.

My son orders Horchata and it's literally a rice pudding flavored drink. Utterly...

Food was good. The tacos had a nice flavor. Definitely better than Taco Bell!

Service was half friendly & half not friendly. One girl was pleasant and nice; the other one, not so much. It was uncomfortable. This was my first time at this restaurant and it was really obvious one girl did not want to be there and/or did not want customers. Someone came in to pick up an order and the friendly girl smiled and was really nice to him. The other girl kept frowning and didn't greet him.

Also, the menu price read $10.95 for one item that I ordered, but was charged $11.39. When I asked about it, the not-friendly girl pointed to writing on take-out menu that said "prices subject to change" and then walked away. No apology, nothing. I asked the friendly girl if they had a menu with current prices because I wanted to take it home and order in future, she said "sorry, no".

I'll probably go back but it'll be a while due to the service and maybe I'll just...

I went to El Rodeo Taco with my friend Natalie on Thursday. We had a good time and I really enjoyed the food. I ordered the fried coconut shrimp as an appetizer. There were alot of small shrimp in a basket that were served hot and delicious. I then ordered the Chicken Tostadas which I also enjoyed. You get two nice size portion tostadas in a plate for $8.50, they come on a taco like flat shell, that is a little harder than usual, but much nicer because the taco shell doesn't break. The shell also rises up around the edges a small level so the chicken and rest of the food on top doesn't fall off while you are biting into it. My friend had a beef empanada, followed by fish tacos. She liked it too. The Resturant is clean and is alot bigger than it appears in the street. The employees were nice. The Resturant was nicely decorated for the holidays. I can see myself returning to El Rodeo Taco many more times in the future to order food....
