Taqueria El Rodeo II — Restaurant in Victoria

I stopped coming to this place years ago since the owner became rude and started charging different prices for plates. Well the other day I had a super emergency and it was either ruin the rest of my day or stop at the nearest place to use the restroom so I figured I'd stop there other then taking a chance on making it to the next spot . I walked in to place an order for a barbacoa before running to the restroom since I dont want to be told anything about using the restroom and the owner seemed rude because I was only buying one taco he kept asking me if that was all I wanted meanwhile at this point im breaking a sweat and dont even care what the card fee will be for the dang taco ! After sticking to my "yes thats all I need he runs my card and slaps the receipt on the counter for me to sign with an attitude! There were absolutely no customers in at this time so im not sure why he felt my pruchase was not worth his time. I just basically payed the $6 to use the restroom and gave the taco away to someone outside . Im not sure why this man is so rude and im sure even if I bought a plate his attitude wouldnt be any better. Glad I stopped eating there years ago! Guadalajara is much better with better service. Im still thankful I got to use the tiny boxed restroom and came out all drenched- had to throw my humor in because I laugh now about the whole situation. 1 star for atmosphere with the owners...

I have chosen not to eat here for a long time due to every time I go them messing up my order! But I was craving some Caldo and it was really close by so I decided screw it. Maybe today will be different, I pulled up to the drive-through just wait at the window For 15 minutes while the man who is taking orders just running around back-and-forth so I was patient and waited for him to ask me what I wanted to order what I wanted to order I’m looking at him. He says you’re not saying anything and goes back to running around doing pretty much nothing. Me being baffled and enraged at the same time as to what he just told me made me no longer want to eat there the rudeness of this old man knows no bounds And I waste their money at this horrible...

We rolled into this place because nothing else was open on Sunday nite, and we were exhausted after spending the day moving. Happy, Mexican music ohm-pa-pa’d us as we entered. I watched as younger patrons greeted older ones with hugs and respect. I got the distinct feeling this was a neighborhood hangout. Even though the decor was old and tired, but the waitress was sweet and welcoming. When I asked her about an entree, she said, “Let me bring you a sample.” It was wonderful.

So was my husband’s shrimp. “Grilled to perfection,” was all he said.

So was my margarita. No skimping on the alcohol there.

Hmmm. Good people. Good food. Good vibes. Who cares about decor?! Yes. We...
