Amazing Experience at El Rodeo in Roanoke! If you're looking for authentic flavors and a great atmosphere, El Rodeo is the place to go! They serve the best micheladas I've ever had perfectly balanced and refreshing. The fajitas are absolutely delicious, full of flavor.

The vibe is welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the experience is always memorable. Highly recommended.

I made a call to El Rodeo on Electric rd here in Roanoke to see if they sold Fried Ice Cream. I specifically asked if they placed thier fried ice cream in a shell like the ones that shown in the collage of four. I was assured that they did place thier ice cream in a shell bowl and cover it with chocolate, carmel, and cool whip. So I'm expecting to pick up a Fried Ice Cream in a to go styrofoam container with the ice cream in a shell. I was shocked to be handed 92% cool whip with very little of the fried ice cream in a container which was filled about half way. I asked where the shell was and was told it was blended into the ice cream and cool whip. This was the worst $7.92 Fried Ice Cream I have ever gotten.

I came at the beginning of the lunch hour rush, before anyone was busy. The waiter seemed really angry. Instead of taking down my order, he kept repeating the costs over and over, as if I could not afford it. When the food was brought to the table, the only thing I enjoyed was the rice, beans, and soda. The cow tongue meat was foul, had a dirty burnt taste. The steak was dry and hard.

My experience at the restaurant was a repeat of prior visits - the environment and people make just

Went in the afternoon at 230 not a lot of people there. The waiter was kind. The food was delicious delivered piping hot, and a lot of of. Enough to take home for a second meal. The restaurant was clean the music was good not to loud. The price was great for the amount of food and the quality of the food.

This place is too busy for its own good. The food was wrong, and not tasteful. The only thing I could taste in the Chimichanga was cinnamon. And the fajitas came out cold. Service was very mediocre. I talked to our waiter two times during our visit and he was rushing around. Very pretty outside if the weather permits.
