Experience El Rodeo, Maine's Best Mexican Food
Scratch-made sauces, chips fried fresh daily, and margaritas big enough to share. Four locations across Maine.
Made from Scratch, Every Day
Chips cut and fried fresh daily. Mole, ranchera, and verde sauces all made in-house. You can taste the difference.
Something for Everyone
From Dishwasher to Founder, Built on Scratch
Juan Sanchez arrived in America from Mexico at fourteen with nothing but a drive to work. Eleven years later, he opened El Rodeo in South Portland — and Maine's never eaten the same since.
The Margaritas Are Famous for a Reason
Jumbo, made-to-order, and available in flavors you won't find anywhere else in Maine. Happy hour runs 2–5pm daily.
