“ Rodrigo's is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The food is always delicious (especially the crispy shredded beef tacos) and their free chips and salsa are always a treat. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff, is always very friendly. The price is reasonable as well. Excellent choice. ”
“ Been here forever under different names (Don Jose’s). But the food is consistent and good, portion sizes are good. Chips are fresh and the pitcher of margaritas is a good deal ”
“ Great food big portions great ambiance huge restaurant. My only complaint are the fries which come with every meal are....steak fries! They’re huge fries with tons of potato surface area so it loses the crisp and affect of being French fries - more like just eating huge potatoes. Who likes that? Definitely not my family. Tons of waste of the fries on all of our plates! ”
“ The food is always hit and phenomenal! Best Mexican food in Orange County! The staff is absolutely wonderful and attentive, Great at mak8ng sure your food is great and mak8ng sure drinks are always full. The restaurant is always clean and well stocked. We love coming here!! ”
“ We went to celebrate the end of the school year for our daughter. Since it was still early in the day, it was technically lunch time. Our server was very responsive and extremely friendly. Our ordered food was ready within minutes and it was all fresh and delicious. The portions are very generous and we all left with to-go containers. If it had been later in the day, we would have ordered cocktails from their full bar, but were content with our sodas instead. I'm really happy with our overall experience here. ”
“ I grew up eating at this location when it was Don Jose’s. I stopped in yesterday while visiting from the East Coast and the food has not changed a bit. Excellent burritos ranchero with great chips and salsa to compliment the main dish. I was so glad, that despite the name change, this Mexican restaurant did not disappoint. The only shortcoming being that I have to travel 2,500 miles to enjoy it. ”
“ Phenomenal associates, every server we have met seems to love what they do. The food is unique and so delicious!! Rodrigo's has the very best fajitas, full of flaverorful veggies and meats. The burritos are wonderful. My favorite is the steak Fajitas Burrito. My teenager loves the beef chimichangitas! ”
