I highly recommend AGAINST this restaurant. I recently attended this restaurant, with a large party. We are locals, who go there often, i.e. once a week. And we have always tipped well, and have been loyal customers. Not any more. They have just lost our long-time business. They recently raised all their prices, on mediocre faux mexican food.

We decided to eat here because it was next door to our hotel and we were delighted with our choice. The service is excellent - prompt and attentive without hassling you all the time. The food is tasty and plentiful but not piled so high it puts you off. A really good value meal in a great atmosphere.

While staying at Hampton Inn, Plantation Rd we decided to try a rather unassuming restaurant next door. What a fabulous surprise!! Having spent a few years in and out of Northern Mexico we came to enjoy Mexican food. El Rodeo ranks with the best we've eaten in Mexico. The Fajitas were great, served promptly and sizzling by professional waiters. We... More

Didn't have high expectations about a Mexican restaurant right off the interstate so El Rodeo was an excellent surprise. Service was very attentive and fast and food was delicious! Try the jalapeño poppers! Gerson, our waiter (and maybe the manager?) was so nice! We enjoyed this restaurant immensely!

I got a to-go order and it was way past my expectations. It was very large portions, not only did a get a large portion of my entree but it also came with a large bag of toriliia chips and salsa. You definitely get your money's worth and did I mention it was delicious!!!
