I don't like this restaurant not the service or the food. The drinks are huge but they lack alcohol which is crazy because they are like $15.00 each and they all taste the same nasty. If you are looking for a good Mexican restaurant keep looking this ain't it. They do not even know how to handle a busy crowd. I ordered a shrimp fajita i'll add the pic of the sizzler platter. They gave me three tortillas and a 1/4 cup of cooked rice to eat with it. I hated every minute of being there. read more

Gran Rodeo - The reason there is no rice is because they forgot to give it to me, I had to ask for it. - Mexican Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

A little pricey for Mexican but it was authentic and tasted very good. Service was very good, all servers were friendly. Nice Tex-Mexican ambiance and decoration Had to be a family owned establishment since I saw the kids running out from the kitchen, eh as long as they don't stick their fingers in anything back there I cool with it. I paid for water, since they gave me bottled instead of tap although I didnt request bottle. No big deal, maybe you just have to be specific what you are asking for. Speaking spanish will come in handy here as the waiters don't seem to understand English well. A meal for two with 2 entrees ran me about $35. read more

Gran Rodeo - Beef steak with onions and 3 soft shell chicken and steak tacos - Mexican Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

I stopped in Gran Rodeo because I was visiting someone in a rehab facility, close by, and there wasn't much to choose from in the area as far as eat in restaurants. The server was very nice and attentive but I didn't even take a bite of my food because it was so dissatisfactory. I ordered the steak burrito. When it came, it was cut in half. When I separated the halves, I quickly noticed that the burrito was comprised of about 2% steak and 88% rice. I wish I had taken a picture. This was a $16 burrito and the lack of meat was just plain disrespectful. The pieces of steak, that were in the burrito, were 1/4" balls of meat. No exaggeration. The nice server let the owner, who is also the cook, know. He didn't have much to say about it. I told him that after seeing what he tried to pass as a $16 burrito, I wasn't willing to give it another shot. I really hope they start serving better quality of food. I don't believe they will last long while trying to do business this way. read more

I know a lot of NY-area based yelpers love to moan and whine about the lack of good Mexican food around here. Here's the tip: you'll have to travel a little farther than you'd like. New Rochelle has a ton of authentic Mexican restaurants thanks to its population. Do your research, explore a little, and you'll be surprised at what you find. El Gran Rodeo is one of many authentic joints dotting the city. Here, you'll get the real deal tacos with meat, cilantro, and onions. None of the cheddar-based BS that the illegitimate joints put out. They're also cheap! The atmosphere may not be the best, but hey, you're not here to be fancy. You're here to be down-home. read more

Well, let's start out with the 3 sauces..salsa was good but really, really cold. It hurt my teeth, it was so cold. But good, and spicy! The green salsa was not as cold but twice as spicy. I am a big fan of spicy; hot sauce has its own food group in my life. This was some of the hottest stuff I have eaten, but still flavorful. The third "salsa" was a bean dip. I wasn't a fan but my boyfriend liked it. For entrees I got the salmon special and the BF got the seafood enchiladas. Let me just say, the presentation was like art! Such a pretty plate...the avocado was spread out all cute like. The salmon was fried which was a little weird and not at all in line with my kind of healthy diet, but it was good nevertheless. The sauce on the salmon was a sour cream based sauce with big chunks of tomatoes and tomatillos. I ate ALL of the sauce. The rice was white, and buttery. It was good, although I only had one bite. The BF's enchiladas were good too, very spicy. Final verdict: The food was very good, the people were super nice, I don't think it will be one of my favorites, but I will visit again..WAIT! STOP THE PRESSES! They just brought me a free dessert! Yummy rice pudding with cinnamon. I will def be back! read more

I was on my way to another mexican restaurant and found it closed on a monday so a few blocks was El Rodeo nice bar, quiet place but the chips and salsa rocked!! wonderful ceviche and other authentic dishes.

Very friendly people!!....go here and try some authentic mexican dishes if you are in this area!!.....say hello to Juan for me!!! Oh...don't forget to have a sangria or margarita in my name...Diana read more

This place was fantastic. The food was great, portions large, service quick and outstanding. The decoration of the inside of the restaurant was pretty cool also. Dinner for two was about $30, not including drinks. Also, they were playing the movie The Rock in Spanish while we were there, which was very entertaining. read more

This place used to be great but now it's totally went down hill, I saw something you should never witness in any establisment about a month ago I was there for a family party the waitress did an amazing job but the female manager stole her tips, I was astonished while seeing this me and my husband were so hurt by this because this is their livleyhoods especially during these hard times that manager was horrible for doing that to their worker. NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY GET MY BUISNESS.! read more

Service was good. Attentive Host. Food was good. Drinks were also worth trying. However, they reported that their card machine was down when paying. So cash only. Wish they would have told us prior to being seated. Other than that, would visit again with cash only. read more

Gran Rodeo - Mexican Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the New Rochelle area. The food is completely authentic - close to home cooking. The chips and dip are freshly made. The owner of the restaurant comes around to each table to talk to patrons, telling them about the specials of the day with much detail. I think he has his wife cooking in the kitchen. They're very hospitable and kind. read more

This restaurant is run by a lovely family. I attended a birthday party here and was absolutely wowed by how attentive, happy and truly sweet the entire staff was. Even the little girls were handing out business cards and holding the doors open for customers. Warm, inviting and cozy. A great place to spend a cold night. The pepper steak was terrific, the chicken tamales kick ass, and the rice with little bits of corn made me forget why I eat brown rice only (well, usually). The sauces, chips, and tortillas are all freshly made. I did not find the food spicy at all, but was told they toned it down for the crowd. read more

Great, quality Mexican food. I frequently go her when visiting my grandmother in New Rochelle. Service is good. My "go-to" is the guacamole and the burrito. read more

The shrimp under cooked the fish stank like hell do not order seafood here the drinks were ok. Benefit of the doubt for any other food but I'm not coming back. 0 stars for the food 2 stars for the Drink and I am being generous read more

the salsa and bean dip they serve you in the beginning is really good. But wait till you get your main course. This place doesn't have a selection for vegatarians. I ended up getting the fish tacos, which were horrible. They were not on the menu, but the waiter said he'd make them for me. When I got my order, it was just tortilla and grilled fish. No sauce, nothing inside, just plain fish and tortilla. I would not eat these again. The place also had a really bad odor, from the moment we sat down. I would not eat here again. read more

Authentic Mexican food? Can't go wrong here. Decor: huge place. The restaurant seems to be slightly divided, with the dining area having a divider in between with plants/decorations. There's a bar, and a TV in the corner playing latin TV. Food: EXCELLENT. REAL authentic Mexican food. I knew I was in the right place when they barely spoke English. English does pick up after school ends, when their younger servers show up, but during the day, it's best to know some Spanish. Service: It's usually empty, so you'll get all the attention you need. Overall: Excellent food. If you want something off menu, they can probably rustle something up for you. Protip: Delivery after 4pm (when school ends) read more

Pretty good food. But the hand made tortillas are to die for

I love this place. I live in Philadelphia and often go to Boston and to the Berkshires. I always time it so I am passing through when they are open. This is our stop on the way up and on the way home. The food is great and I feel like I am in their living room or dining room. The owners are wonderful people and the extended family great. Ask them to make something for you and it will be great. The guac and grilled cactus in wonderful. It does close around 10:00 so get there earlier. We arrived on the way home at 9:30 and it was near closing in the middle of the week one time, but the rest of the time it has been outstanding. Drinks are great. Price is reasonable and I feel like I have left the country for one hour. read more

Myself, husband, son and baby daughter went in to eat around 1:30pm. It was completely dead but we like small cozy places anyway. There was one older woman there who was the waitress. She didn't understand English and was confusing a lot of what I was asking her. I wouldn't have minded but she had a bad attitude for some reason, not sure why. She acted like she was doing us a favor by waiting on us and acted like we were upsetting her by even being there. She sat down a few tables away from us and played on her cell phone while ignoring us. Our son had to keep going up to her to ask for different items such as water. It was pretty awkward. When we asked if it was happy hour, she said no even though it was happy hour and then proceeded to look at her watch and make a disgusted face while rolling her eyes. Can't make this stuff up. We just wanted a nice lunch with the kiddos and ended up with a pretty irritated waitress who clearly wasn't happy that we came in as paying customers. Before we left she actually took my husbands margarita without him finishing it while we were paying the tab. I don't know how it is at night but between the baby pack and play she set up inside the restaurant and her attitude, we set won't be back. The food was ok, nothing special. read more

We have been here more than once and the service is amazing and food is the real authentic real Mexican hands down ... we met with the owner and he treats us like family, definitely we will be back and continue to come for so many years to come best place to eat 10 stars read more

Great selection of food from various regions in mexico. Seafood is great and the beef is very good aswell , along with the poultry. I visited a saturday night and the tortillas were hand made fresh brought straight to my table. Excellent service , the waiters constantly ask you if you need anything in a very friendly , non-annoying way. Great selection of drinks and beverages. Owner is very friendly and attentive , always around and at your disposal if you need anything. I recommend this place read more

Ridiculous -- without a doubt very authentic. The tortillas gave me flashbacks to my childhood. I literally wrapped them up for my journey home (700 miles away). The place is spotless, the food outstanding and the staff is very nice. I will frequent often when in town and highly recommend that you do the same. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant!!!! The food is so delicious and unique. I usually go with a group of friends and always get the Cabreria, which is a tray with grilled chicken, beef fajita, and chorizo topped with strips of mexican cheese. Along with the different meats are beans, guacamole, grilled onions, pico de gallo, grilled jalapeños, french fries, and nopales (grilled cactus). The Cabreria is $15 per person and you can get it for one person or even up to 20 people (or more). They also serve handmade tortillas made right in front of you, which just adds to the authenticity of this place. And in the end they give you a complimentary desert which is arroz con leche. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I've brought several friends and family members here and they all fall in love with this place. I highly recommend it!! read more

so today I bought a chicken Quesada and to my surprize there was American cheese in it? I didn't like it and brought it back to the store so they could either give me my money back or make me a new one. The manager yelled and screamed that that's how they make it but I KNOW that AMERICAN cheese dosent belong in MEXICAN food! after a short argument I left after he gave me back my money and will NEVER go back! read more

this place states that they deliver so I call them and they tell me they have delivery but they have no one to deliver it like really either be committed to what its stated or don't offer a half ass servicev read more

Awesome!!! Authentic, deliciouse Mexican Food. They gave us 3 different types of salsa and refried beans. FThey were delcious and crispy and warm. Beans counteracted the heats of the Salsa and were creamy and elicous. We ordered nachos, nothing special but good. We ordered Carnitas, which is slow cooked pork that came with tortillas, rice, and beans,. The white rice was outta this world, pork tender, juicey, and incredible. We also ordered Chorizo with cheese quesadillas type things. awesome!! My pork tacod had lime, onions, cilantro, and jalapenos. The Margheritas were huge, sweet at first, second round they adjusted ......perfect. Very accomodating, too. My friend wanted Pinot Girgio, he said he didnt have but can get. Mustve gone to liquor store for it, After dinner, they gave us small, complimentary dishes of rice pudding, then came back with tequils shots for all of us!!! I love these people and this place!!! read more
