El Rodeo Brunswick

"A good Mexican meal at a decent price. Even though the environment is great, customers are allowed to celebrate their birthday. Sometimes, the birthday celebrations become loud and obnoxious, which make it difficult to have a normal conversation at your own table."

"El Rodeo is always a great place for Mexican Food. The staff are kind and efficient. The food is always good. Lots of choices for all palates. Restaurants is always clean. Atmosphere is fun and vibrant. Happy hour prices and specials are a perfect way to end the work day."

"As I’ve said in other reviews, I was born in and lived in Texas for 30 years, so I’m picky about Mexican food. This place was *packed* on a Friday night. The line was out the door, and we almost left. I’m glad we didn’t. We were told 25 minute wait when we gave our name, but it ended up being literally 5 minutes. Nice seating and ambiance. Loud, but was crowded. Huge menu with a whole separate vegetarian section. Chips and salsa were better than most places. I ordered a jalapeño margarita. $12, I expected a normal size glass. It was HUGE. It looked like those 2 people sharing glasses. I also can’t overstate that this thing is SPICY. It has jalapeño infused tequila. Now being from Texas, I have a strange pride with my spicy tolerance, and this was a challenge. Do not order this drink if you can’t take very spicy. It was good and strong , but I’m not sure I’d do that again. I ordered the vegetarian combo which was a burrito, chalupa, and cheese enchilada. Generous portions and delicious. Even my husband who gives praise very sparsely said it was the best meal of our Maine trip. Came to $90 without tip for 4 people with non-water drinks (1 alcoholic.) Honestly the entree and drink prices were a bargain. Service was friendly, a little slow, but nothing crazy for as busy as they were. Highly recommend!"

"What a great experience! Walking in and immediately got greeted and seated. This location has the option of outside dining, they have lights, decorations, and Mexican music playing, added to the atmosphere. The lights at night create a romantic atmosphere. We were seated, ordered, got our food and ate it in 40 minutes! Very fast compared to other Mexican food places. We both got a different combo so we could try a broad range of foods for our first visit. We were not disappointed! All the food was fantastic, but the note worthy foods was the rice and beans. The beans were so delicious and I haven’t tasted anything like them from anywhere else. The rice was not dry, but was very fluffy. The chips and salsa was very enjoyable, and the salsa doesn’t destroy my mouth. Our waiter was perfectly attentive without being overbearing. Very laid back staff that adds a positive vibe to the place. We bought the salsa to go, and they gave us free chips with it! We will be back for sure."

"Great atmosphere music and decor. The food was excellent, arrived quickly too. Large selection on menu even had a vegetarian section. The service was friendly. Eat indoors or on the patio. Large selection of margaritas and they were made with real lime juice not the mix. Will definitely go back."
