In the year when movies like Batman Forever (1995) and GoldenEye (1995) were pushing budgets past the $100 million mark, Rodriguez brought in "Desperado" for just under $7 million. The film also featured a cameo by fellow indie film wunderkind, Quentin Tarantino.

He shoots, edits, produces, and scores many of his films in Mexico and in his home state of Texas. Rodriguez directed the 1992 action film El Mariachi, which was a commercial success after grossing $2.6 million ($5.5 million in 2023 dollars) against a budget of $7,000 ($14,937 in 2023 dollars).
He has directed such films as Desperado (1995), From Dusk till Dawn (1996), The Faculty (1998), Spy Kids (2001), Sin City (2005), Planet Terror (2007), and Machete (2010). He also produced the latest installment in the Predator series, Predators (2010).
- El Mariachi (1992) A case of mistaken identity causes a traveling musician (Carlos Gallardo) to become embroiled in a violent stand-off against a bloodthirsty drug lord in a small Mexican town.
- Desperado (1995) El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) is still trying to outrun his violent past when he arrives at a small town on the Mexican border, where he comes at odds with another ruthless drug kingpin (Joachim de Almeida) and his vicious henchmen.
- Once Upon A Time In Mexico (2003) Legendary hitman El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas) is enlisted by a corrupt CIA agent (Johnny Depp) to help him take down a drug cartel leader (Willem Dafoe) planning to kill the president of Mexico.
- From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) On the run from the law, a pair of notorious criminal brothers (George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino) take a former minister (Harvey Keitel) and his children (Juliette Lewis and Ernest Liu) hostage, and take refuge together at a bar in the middle of nowhere that turns out to be haven for a more monstrous threat.

- Machete. Machete might be the perfect Robert Rodriguez film, and is certainly the perfect Robert Rodriguez film for the year of our Lord 2021. Inspired by a fake, relentlessly silly trailer within the aforementioned Grindhouse double feature, and co-directed by regular Rodriguez editor Ethan Maniquis, the 2010 take on Machete (Danny Trejo, legend) retains its source material's sense of silliness and of performative grindhouse aesthetics, but adds to it to a politically incendiary, vital, and ultimately inspiring narrative.
- From Dusk till Dawn. Perhaps the most effective synthesis between Rodriguez's "pulpy B-movie" and "patient Hollywood" filmmaking styles; perhaps the most effective Rodriguez/Tarantino collaboration to date; certainly one of the best bait-and-switch pictures ever released.
- El Mariachi. A startling lightning bolt of a film debut that remains as watchable, as vital, as jaw-dropping, as thrilling as the day it was first released.
- Planet Terror. Originally produced and released as part of Grindhouse, the strange and noble 2007 double feature of bonkers B-movie pleasures (paired with Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof and a bevy of fake trailers), Planet Terror remains, even divorced of its delightful context, one of Rodriguez's most purely entertaining films.
