Reviews for El Rodeo Tacos in Streamwood, IL
Decided to try this place for the first time today. The carne asada meat was very dry with a kind of gritty texture to it. It... seems as if the meat was just reheated and overly cooked. It definitely is NOT fresh. Couldnt even finish the torta and tacos.Waste of money. Do not recommend. Read more

I was there today first and last time. Their chicken is nasty I do not recommend. shredded chicken in burrito and nachos feels... like I?m eating Taco Bell although this chicken is worse than Taco Bell. Big portions but quantity over quality? I rather havesmall portions and have taste than big portions. Read more
I saw this place and one day told my wife we should try it. Here is my thoughts. It doesn't look like much from outside. But... inside I walked into this busy but sparkling clean, sweet little place. Nothing fancy but pleasant, the kind of atmosphere thatmakes you want to eat there instead of ordering take out. Despite the crowd there was no chaos. The man and women working thecounter were relaxed, in thier element. They skillfully took my order making sure they got it right. I waited about tenminutes and it was ready. I asked how much (dinner for 4 people with 2 drinks) and it was only about $50! Heck of a deal. Ihave to say they were so nice and friendly. And they checked the order again before handing it to me. But how did ittaste? Well, home I go. Two adults, two teenagers. My wife grew up around good Mexican food in the city. My daughters afoodie. My son is picky. And I have tried a lot of stuff and I know what I like. Tough critics, but we are fair. First,wonderful portion sizes for the money. I ordered a chimichanga because that's a pretty standard item. It was HUGE! Lots offood for everyone. My chimichanga was accompanied by a sauce I have never seen or tasted before. My wife took a little tasteand her eyes flew open in delight. She said "you have to try this, I've never tasted anything like it before." I did and itwas amazing. Unique. Savory and sweet but just fantastic. Everyone began talking about how fantastic the food is. Myimpression of the food was that I was eating something delicious made with attention to detail and a love of food and respectfor the customers. To take ordinary food and make it taste that good. Wow. Everyone was delighted. And then these chips,delicious. Fresh. But the salsa that came with it, magnificent! I can't even describe it. I wanted to lick my plate clean. My wife had the same reaction. I feel like I ate a meal prepared by friends. What a wonderful suprise. I want to t Read more
Great customer service. We had the Camarones al mojo de ajo & the Lengua en salsa Verde. Very flavorful, good portions and... freshly made. Read more
Food was pretty good, nothing you haven't had before at every other place just like this. I do need to address one thing... though... We ordered based on their website menu/pricing and we ended up being charged an extra $12.50 on top of that pricing.No matter how we added it up (yes we even added 10% tax) we could not account for an extra $12.50 more than what we ordered.This leads me to believe their web menu pricing isn't accurate or is slightly misleading - so just go in eyes wide open and makesure the price is what you expected. Otherwise, while good, it's not on the level of something you're going to crave or rememberin a couple days. Flavors were solid, I would say the rice and beans were a bit flat and needed a pinch more salt. Tacos wereslightly dry and overcooked, but the flavors were there. Enchiladas were relatively on point and the Chiles Relleños was alsopretty good. All in all I'd give this place a solid 3.5. Since I can't do that, and factoring in the pricing issue, I landed ona 3. We will probably be back, maybe, but will continue to look for better options as well. Read more
