El Rodeo - Española

WOW! Honestly, the best green sauce I've ever tried! This place is tiny and humble, from the main road. But the food is really wonderful We had the green chicken enchiladas and the Carnitas tacos - both a huge hit. The shares are small, but also the prices. Probably back tomorrow!

One of our absolute favorite dining spots in Española is this charming little restaurant. We particularly love their Bistec (steak) tacos, as well as their Bistec and shrimp burritos. Don't miss the Elote, which features corn with mayonnaise, butter, Kojita cheese, lemon, and chili powder—it’s a must-try! For dessert, the Fresas con Crema (strawberries with cream and whipped cream) is simply delightful. We consistently leave satisfied every time we visit this family-owned business. The service is always warm and friendly. Besides our go-to dishes, they offer a variety of other Mexican specialties, along with delicious liquados (milkshakes) and aguas frescas. They recently introduced Mexican-style snow cones—so delicious! Plus, there are other fun treats to enjoy.

I tried the al pastor tacos, which were a bit pricey at $10 for three, but they were delicious. The shrimp ceviche was also tasty. However, I deducted a star for the slow service; we waited about half an hour for our food.

Service is always great and food is so delicious every time my husband and I go.

Best chicken enchiladas in town. Friendly staff, real food.
