Wow. This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but they did a freaking amazing job on the inside, and the Carne asada was freaking delicious. It tasted like a backyard BBQ, and I was on the BBQ! And I'm not 100% sure, but I think the flower tortillas were handmade. Whoever put the inside of the restaurant together GOOD JOB!

Moses Lake is not only known for farms and industries. Hardworking people need to eat and relax after a day's work or the weekend comes. El Rodeo is one of the places to go! A must try! You will surely come back. The place is good for all occasions, even just for a simple dinner.

Great cultural atmosphere with vibrant wall decor, traditional furniture, and lively music. The restaurant served authentic Mexican dishes that were well-prepared and came out quickly. We enjoyed the classic chips and salsa, along with what seemed to be curtido. Portion sizes were generous for the price, and everyone in our group agreed they’d return for the delicious flavors and overall quality of the food.

This is a place we always go back to! The customer service is consistently outstanding— super friendly and welcoming every time. The food is always delicious, packed with flavor, and comes out quickly. We’ve never had a bad experience, and the staff always goes above and beyond to make us feel at home. If you’re looking for a spot that combines great food with fantastic service, this is it. Highly recommend it!

The best Interior design I've ever seen in a Mexican restaurant, maybe ANY restaurant I've been to! Colorful booths with high-back design for privacy while dining. Traditional Mexican dishes along with a few I've only seen in Mexico. Excellent quality served by competent wait staff. And they serve a wide variety of Cocktails served by good looking young men! They also have Breakfast Cocktails!

I was given 2 choices of Mexican restaurants to try and picked this one for the cultural/comfortable environment I saw on Google. The Carne Asada was incredible! But it was unexpected to run into a first class waiter! Gerardo was absolutely perfect! Attentive, knowledgeable, well mannered and dressed professionally. If I had an opening I would've recruited him on the spot! And I wasn't held hostage by the check (Pet Peeve) This will be my go to Mexican restaurant in Moses Lake, No need to look further! Most Excellent Experience! Thank you Gerardo
