Taqueria El Rodeo De Jalisco San Antonio

Not My First Rodeo!. This is not the first rodeo for this Tex-Mex cowboy diner, but it was the first time to come here. Not sure how I missed it as I understand that it has been open for a number of years. It used to be much smaller, but I believe they took over a Schlotzky's that was next door. Now the place is a large one room expanse of tables with the front entry area comprised of an all glass "wall" Looks rather like a fish bowl as you approach the restaurant from the parking lot and can dimly make out all the diners sitting at the tables inside along the anterior glass wall.

Seat yourself is the name of the game for the main event at this rodeo. It was a bit more than 10 seconds on the clock for us to haul down a waitress and rope in some menus, but not long enough to give us rope burn. Love the trans-border typical menus with colorful photos of the various dishes offered. Although the menu said breakfast ended at 11am, they did not flinch when I ordered migas and a Mexican coke at 11:30 am.

Right out of the chute our plates were piping hot from the kitchen . . .large portion of fluffy migas with tasty fried papas and savory refrieds. The flour tortillas were also some of the best I have had. It gets to the point though, with so many places having good flour tortillas that you almost need to have a side by side taste test in order to determine your top 10. My wife's picadillo plate was also well spiced (not hot, just savory) and a good representation of the dish.

Besides the very good food served here, the prices are get thrown from the bull face first in the dirt cheap. This place is no goat rope, so, next time you saddle up your cayuse and are in the Colonnade area, get your caboose over to this rodeo for some bronco riding good Tex.-Mexican eats.

I like is the best in San antonio Tx.
