The editorial take
El Rodeo North Main St runs a beverage program built around margaritas and a broad mixed-drink list. The margaritas use El Jimador Silver, 1800 Reposado, and Herradura tequilas, and the cocktail section names Mojito, Transfusion, Long Island Iced Tea, Bloody Mary, Michelada, Tequila Sunrise, and Red Bull Vodka. A separate Liquors section lists whiskey, vodka, rum, and other spirits, while wine by the glass stays to three varietals and beer to draft domestic and imported. Non-alcoholic options include horchata and sangria soda.
