Gimme a Break
Authentic - no way. Meat is tastless - canned chicken? Beef is lacking spices. The salsa is out of this world good but the chips are like cardboard. Service is lousy. Greasy food. Tacos served wet.

Home from Home
I grew up in a Tex-Mex family in Powell, Wyoming. Until now, I had not found a "Mexican Resturant" that managed to get the right tastes and textures. You could be in Pigra Negras, Mexico, Hondo, Texas, or my Abuela's kitchen. If you want the real thing, you have got to visit El Rodeo. Chau!

I have been to El Rodeo many times. I've tried just about everything. Very authentic and good prices. The service used to be fabulous but lately is lacking. No smiles, no thank yous. I love the ambiance and wouldn't change a thing.

Margarita Madness
I'm 100% addicted to El Rodeo's margarita's. My girlfriend and I dine and imbibe there whenever possible. We love the atmosphere and food too.

Incredible, Authentic Mexican Cuisine
Having come from Florida I had the opportunity to savor many authentic Hispanic cuisines, primarily Mexican and Cuban. Finding good Mexican cuisine in central PA can be daunting at best. One more commonly finds chains such as Chi-chi's and Don Pablo's which as far as chain restaurants go as descent enough. But when one has had the experience of authentic Mexican and desires nothing less than that, El Rodeo delivers! Once you're at your table, your served fresh corn chips with a bottle of very spicy salsa. Have water on hand! On the menu is the standard fare of tacos and burritos, but don't expect Taco Bell style. These are served up in enormous portions with generous side dishes. There are house specialties to be chosen from, in addition to enchiladas, flautas, and so on. The food is impeccable; the service friendly, prompt and courteous; the atmosphere a little over the top, but reminiscent of Mexico.
