The service was fine, but the food was awful. I had one bite and was so grossed out that I no…read morelonger had an appetite. I ordered a chile relleno and a chicken taco. The taco leaked out a ton of liquid, not grease, a clear liquid which made the taco shell soggy so I just didn't bother with it. The chile relleno was just some green bell peppers with a mound of ground beef on it and melted cheese on top of that. Chile relleno is actually supposed to be a cheese stuffed Anaheim or Poblano pepper battered, fried, and served with a red sauce. Even the lemon on my water glass was gross- it smelled like alcohol and was shriveled and red like the server fished it out of someone's discarded cocktail. My daughter said her meal was gross too and didn't eat it. We didn't ask for a replacement or our money back. We paid, tipped well, and won't be back, ever.

1st time trying this restaurant and I most definitely will no go back. Ordered the Steak La Paz…read morewith mashed potatoes garlic bread and fried green onions. I asked that my steak be cook medium. I should have known my order would be right when the waiter kept coming back asking me how I would like it cooked Once I received my food the steak was well done and totally dry and The mashed potatoes was watery and looked like wallpaper paste. My order of fried green tomatoes was never placed I did let the waiter know my steak wasn't medium and asked if I could have 1 that was. He disagreed saying the steak was cooked medium.This meal cost me about $25 with tax I couldn't eat anything But the garlic toast. After still being charged for a steak I didn't eat or being provided with the steak I asked for EL RODEO IS AND ABSOLUTE NO FOR ME!

Overall 3.5 Stars for food, service and ambiance…read more Food: 3.5 stars For dinner we stopped at this local Mexican restaurant. It isn't your local typical Mexican food where the food is covered in queso or the ground beef taste "bland". Most of the foods were regional type dishes but you will find your favorites such as fajitas, tacos and burritos. We ordered the Loco Rice - grilled chicken, rice, covered in queso a grilled onions and jalapeños. The other two dishes were the Carne Asada, grilled flank steak, cooked frijoles (beans) / rice, grilled leeks and jalapeño and Grilled Cameron's (shrimp) w rice, avacados and diced tomatoes. All were 3.5 stars. Nothing stood out to be outstanding but could have been with a little bit more acidity (lime / lemon) or cumin / cayenne seasoning. The food were cooked well but it just missed "something". The outstanding part of our meal was the salsa. It was seasoned well and it wasn't your water-down tomato based salsa with a hint of chopped onions or cilantro and lime. Service was a little bit better than average and server was good but we had to ask a couple of times for certain items. And it wasn't too busy at the time. The restaurant has a bar with multiple tables and booths and can get pretty loud during "happy hour" or dinner time. It can be fun with a lot of people or hanging at the bar. With specialized drinks, the bar tender is happy to make it for you. Though we didn't get any speciality drinks. We will come again to try other meal options and review once again. I think the restaurant can get a higher review because they have different regional meal options.

Maybe they were having an off night, but DO NOT order their tortilla soup or their beef tacos. Neither had any flavor. And I mean ANY. The soup tasted like tomato paste mixed with water; no seasonings, no salt. The beef was basically gray. Again, no seasoning. Anyway. Ambiance and service were fine to good. I don't think I'll ever go back, though. It's actually the worst food I've ever had.

A couple of other large parties had the same idea and I was glad we made advance reservations. Staff was attentive throughout. The bread service was a very good Italian type bread loaf slices with olive oil. I would have liked some Italian seasoning to add to it to make it even better. For appetizers my daughter insisted on the Fried Mozzarella Ravioli and I wanted to try the Arancini. Both were excellent! My wife and I decided to split the Seafood Linguini and each got a salad. I chose the Caesar side salad and she wanted the Italian side salad. I was wanting to try their gnocchi but that was the 1 item on the menu the server said that they did not have. (Unfortunately I didn't't find out until after I tried to order and had my mind set on it) There was a good amount of seafood but 1 more shrimp would have made it much easier to split evenly. Even sharing we were full especially knowing we had cake waiting for us back at the condo. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their choices as well. I can see why Taste is the go to choice for my daughter and her husband when they want to celebrate.

The interior was clean and well decorated for the season. Each dish was prepared with care and tasted wonderful.

Even when you got to the window, no one would look at the pickup window. Cars waited in front of the window when it was their turn for 5 mins at a time. Completely unorganized and managed poorly. Lady finally helped and looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there. I get people have poor days but this place is rated a 1 star for a reason. Hope it improves.
