A little treasure hidden in Nixon, Texas! Sometimes, surprises come around when you least expect them. This is the case with El Rodeo Mexican restaurant in Nixon, Texas. If you follow my restaurant reviews, you know that I love Mexican food. I love all food (as evidenced by my waistline 😉), but I especially love Mexican food. The problem is that most Mexican food places in Texas amount to what I call "TV Dinner Restaurants" in that most of what they serve comes straight out of a can, bag, or box.
Such is not the case with El Rodeo. From the moment you see the food come out and take your first bite, you know that this was cooked right there in the restaurant by someone who knew how to make food taste good, Mexican style! Of all of the cuisines on earth Mexican cuisine is about flavor and spice. No, not SALT, as many Texan restaurants think is a spice, but real spice—Camino, Chili, Oregano, Onion, Garlic, Lime, Vinegar etc, etc, etc. The chef at El Rodeo knows how to make food taste good, and you will notice the difference as soon as you taste their food.
I travel through Nixon once or twice a month, and if I am hungry, I know exactly where I am going to eat. I am eating at El Rodeo.
