The interior is very nice, with a high ceiling and tasteful decor. The booths and tables are solid and spacious. Everything was spotlessly clean. I was promptly seated and served chips and salsa. The salsa was thinner than I prefer but made up for it with excellent flavor and a bit of heat. I ordered Huevos Rancheros from the lunch menu, and it was delicious. Refried beans has a nice texture and really good flavor. Portion size was very generous, especially for a lunch menu item. Service was friendly and efficient. The dinner menu featured some unique specialties. There were many seafood entrees, including one I would like to try called Wero. It featured grilled tilapia, scallops, shrimp, and pico. I'll try that for sure on my next visit. There are also burritos and enchiladas with unique ingredients. Many vegetarian options too. Prices are very reasonable.

The tortilla chips were delicious but the salsa was watery & had little flavor. I ordered 2 tacos with rice & refried beans while hubby got Shrimp Delight. He really liked his meal.

There are two smaller local establishments in Richmond that serve authentic Mexican dishes with flavors, freshness, and quality worthy of five stars.

(Well, almost...I really didn't know.) Phew! I've been to all three locations in town but this one seems just right. Of course, if they would change locations to accommodate more customers, they might have similar trouble that the east side location is having. They had a decal on the exterior window saying "Yelp users love us! Read the reviews!" which was amusing and so true. Three of us went today but one was running late. They seated us and someone brought two sets of utensils, instead of three sets. Oops. They got the drink order just right, though, and apparently listened carefully. For some strange reason, people think I want a diet drink and this time I ordered (and got!) sweet iced tea. We got the food within a reasonable amount of time, but I've seen other times when this didn't happen at either location. That they were on top of things at just past noon is incredible. If they'd brought an extra set of utensils, we'd have been set. I wish they could apply their techniques to the Chinese and Italian restaurants in town. I'd ordered an enchilada, rice, and beans but I was surprised when they didn't ask if I wanted beef, chicken, or cheese. Maybe, I look like a beef person? Mooooo! I also noticed that they haven't returned to the shredded beef they were using a couple of years ago. Obviously, to maintain pricing, they've made a compromise. You'd think that they'd default to cheese, but considering the price of cheese is probably double the price of ground beef, I suppose I can understand why. Except for the lack of utensils, it all went quite well. I can overlook that in light of everything else because service is generally flawless at this location.

From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look particularly appealing and seems a bit isolated, so I was initially hesitant to stop in. However, once I walked inside, it was a completely different story! The restaurant is spacious, clean, and looks nice, and the menu offers plenty of options. I ordered the Burrito Mexicana, which was a huge plate featuring one giant burrito served with a salad. I especially enjoyed the steak filling inside the burrito. Overall, the food was excellent and tasted fresh. The portion size and quality were both great for the price. I would definitely come back here again on my way to the fair!

The dining room areas are very spacious, clean, and well decorated. The tables are roomy, too, so they could fit a big party as needed. I appreciated the attention they dedicated to the décor. We had a basket of chips and salsa delivered to us as soon as we sat down, and it was great to have while we looked through the menu, ordered, and waited for our food. Everything was brought out by the robot shortly, and it was served to us by the person who took our order. We appreciated him checking on us during appropriate intervals. It was nice to be able to pay the check via QR code if you were in a hurry to leave. This was a great spot to stop in for lunch, and I'd highly recommend it!

We were served fresh salsa & tortilla chips as soon as we were seated. The salsa was hotter than most salsas I've had at Mexican restaurants - not for the faint of heart! Hubby ordered Shrimp Delight $13.99 (Deep fried shrimp) while I ordered #23 combo plate ($10.99) of a taco and a beef quesadilla along with refried beans & rice. Hubby loved his shrimp & felt that the amount of shrimp was plentiful. My taco was good but the quesadilla was too salty. I couldn't finish it due to the saltiness. The service was okay but hubby wanted a drink refill & the server was nowhere to be found. We liked the prices & may give this place another try.

I booked a party of 22 people to share my 60th birthday party, which required me to call more than…read moreonce to achieve it, and the first person I spoke to told me just to call the day before. I am from the area but now live near San Francisco. On trips back here, El Bronco West had become one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The fact that I was trying to host an event here would need more than a 24-hour call ahead. The reservation for my party was simply a sticky note on the wall behind the cash register. When I arrived 30 minutes early to be able to look out for and greet people as they came, nothing had been set up in advance. I sensed they were waiting to see if we actually showed up. To me, a group of 22 paying customers would be treated more professionally, but it was what it was. The service and food were okay, but the real fiasco occurred when they came to put the sombrero on me and sing in celebration of my birthday. I had seen this before and had really not wanted it, but I forgot to mention my decline and figured I would just go with it and get it over with. I was not expecting to be sternly sat down and have my bearded face smeared with whipped cream. They clearly do not realize this is an act of assault! No one has the right to put their hands on you in an offensive manner. I was absolutely furious and in a state of shock. My love of this restaurant and desire to go back absolutely died in that moment. I really thought I was doing something very good for the establishment by bringing in a group of 22 people. But instead of being treated with honor and respect, I was sharply told to sit down to be put on display and have my entire face slathered with whipped cream. No one in my party, with the exception of one, was amused. Everyone in attendance, being from this area, will most likely be deterred from future visits. I am all for celebration and having a good time, but this was way too extreme. It went too far and was a complete violation of my boundaries, ruining my birthday celebration. One of my group recounted that she had been at El Bronco West during a lunchtime visit and witnessed a woman being assaulted with whipped cream, which smeared and ruined her makeup. Being at work for the day and having yourself desecrated is an act of violence. My guest noted that she, too, was furious. This proves my point that this restaurant prefers its sophomoric pranks over the sensitivities of its customers. Afterward, I spoke to our waiter and told him how angry I was and that this was too extreme. The waiter apologized, but it was too late; the damage had already been done. He did say he would tell the manager, but two days after the event, I have heard nothing. My memory of my special occasion is scarred in ruin! I will never return to this restaurant again! This establishment is clearly out of touch with its clientele. Be forewarned, if you plan to spend a special occasion at El Bronco, tell them no singing unless you wish to have your face slathered with cream. Debéis estar más atentos al respeto vuestros clients!
