    Chicken salad plate
    Richard H.

    Still our favorite Mexican restaurant -small family owned , brightly decorated with consistently good food and service . Chicken salad excellent. Fajitas el rodeo with shrimp, chorizo, steak & chicken excellent - large portions .. love the chips and salsa that are complimentary -

    " Enchiladas Verdes "

    The food here is delicious. I had the Enchiladas Verdes. I've also had the Chimichanga plate. The food is also fresh and served with presentation in mind. In addition to the food being authentic, the decor is colorful and Mexican music is played for a great ambiance. The service is great too!

    Enchilada and chili rellano
    Gary R.

    Reopened under a new name, same family and chefs and menu choices. Service is good but slows when they get busy. Food is served fresh and hot though the chili rellano was a tad bit mushy rather than crunchy. The pineapple fajita was a unique dish, though opt for less cheese on top and leave it on the side. The decor is the same fancy tables and chairs that we were used to under the old name.

    It's nice to see the El Rodeo chain out here in Sun City. The area is filled with Mom & Pop Mexican Restaurants....which is not a bad thing, but occasionally I like the fully decorated Mexican theme which is El Rodeo's trademark. This establishment has been open 8 months, and still no Yelp page! Plus, no customers...Could there be a connection? Yelp page added, hopefully customers will follow! I ordered the Shrimp Ceviche Michoacáno ($16.99) to go. Check out the photo! The presentation was excellent even in a carry out container. Plenty of bits of shrimp, pico de gallo, crackers, and avocado. Only 2 thin slices of lime. Still was delicious. Solid 4 stars.

You…read morepush open the door, past the cheesy little signs pointing every which way like lost souls, and you're hit with the smell of old wood, stale beer, and fried regret. ​It's dark inside, the kind of dark that hides your mistakes. Neon Bud Light signs buzz like angry hornets, keeping time with some golf tournament droning on a TV screen. There's a skeleton dressed up like a bartender holding a plastic cup, which is about as honest as the service gets. ​I sat down at a lightly sticky table with my dog. I snagged the perfect table upon the disembarking of the sloppy family with thrir soda splasung dloppy mannerisms. They let me hide Iris under the table. That big, brown hound of mine. Parked underneath the food and drink, looking at me with more loyalty than any woman I ever knew. I ordered a drink that came in a glass tall enough to drown your sorrows in, topped with a lime slice that had seen better decades. The menu offered up everything from gator bites to oysters, standard grease-trap poetry to line the stomach before the booze takes over. ​Outside, the world keeps spinning in its pathetic, sunny circle. Inside, you just sit there with your glass, listening to the ice melt, wondering how the hell you ended up in a joint named after a reptile in the middle of nowhere. ​It's not much, but it's a chair, it's cold, and nobody's asking you any questions. Four stars. Pour another one. ​

First impression was a little suspect because it's clearly a house turned restaurant/bar. Once we got inside though, I loved the charm of it. There are different rooms you walk through and they have it all set up with tables and chairs....all different kinds so it's a modge podge of tables. Then there are cool chandeliers over the tables and bar signs everywhere. Our waitress was a new implant to Florida and she was super sweet and helpful. She also made a mean vodka tonic! Ok so let's get to the food. First we ordered the Fried Alligator Bites and the Fried Green Tomatoes as appetizers and they were both delicious! The alligator wasn't super chewy and the voodoo sauce was banging! I went with the Shrimp and Grits and sheesh I was blown away! I loved the texture and the taste of the grits. They had just the right amount of cheese and the shrimp were cooked perfectly! The hubby got the Grouper Tacos and he said they were good but a little dry. He wished they had some more toppings...either sauce or pico de gallo. My daughter got the mussel pasta. She loved the mussels but was disappointed by the penne pasta. She wished it was a bit saucier as it only had a lemony/wine liquid that wasn't sticking to the pasta. All in all this place was good. We will go at least once more since it's by where we're staying and I want to try a couple more things on the menu.

    First things first, the view is absolutely spectacular. Vast oceanfront and beach/dock view right…read morenext to our table, and the sunset was exceedingly beautiful today. Service was pretty good, our server was very friendly and helpful, but they seemed to be pretty busy so he didn't come around too much (which we also appreciated, as it was just enough space and attention). Food was better than I expected! All of the dishes were well-cooked and flavorful, the drinks (mango margarita) were a bit strong but loved, and nothing was too salty or too bland. We started with a dozen oysters which were very fresh and slightly chewy (different from northern oysters that I usually have), then had the cod, crab cakes, and snapper, all with well-paired sauces and great sides (the snapper was slightly overcooked). Everyone got complimentary sunset shots as the sun was dipping towards the horizon, and we finished off with a giant slice of key lime pie (that we couldn't quite fit in so we took back because it was too good to waste). Overall good experience and will definitely be back to try more!

    I hate to rate them this low. However, my grouper was cool, not lukewarm, but cool. The Grouper was…read morerather dry, and that was frustrating. I tasted more filling than crab in my small crabcake. The veggies were cool. However, the sauce was rather tasty. My wife had a similar experience. I also ordered the Key Lime. If you've seen many of my hundreds of reviews, I love me some Key Lime. Look, I became hungry just thinking about a slice. Regrettably, this Key Lime was disappointing in taste. The rather larger crust could've been outstanding, but alas, it too was plain. My daughter enjoyed her chicken salad but didn't like the salty fries. My mother-in-law didn't believe her Snapper meal was Snapper. She said it was moist. Yet, she said it was okay. Disclaimer: The Server was great, but she was taking care of a group of 14 people. The people who came out to help her deliver the food were ok. We asked several times whether the "Catch of the Day" was the Flounder. We were repeatedly told, "No." It was. Consequently, those who ordered it also had cooler food. I believe those issues contributed to the food temperature. This place came highly recommended. In short, I wasn't pleased with paying $164 for three mediocre meals. I encourage you to try them out. I plan on taking my wife back there on August 27 to give them another chance. I'm certain it'll be much better.
