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!

I discovered this Mexican restaurant on the west side of town while looking for a place to eat…read morebefore heading to the Wayne County Fairgrounds. 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 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. I didn't care for mine as the taco meat was very salty. The refried beans were also too salty. Our server was polite & attentive. The ambiance was cozy with a typical Mexican restaurant vibe. Would I return? Maybe.

Not starting off very well. Service is beyond slow and the waiter screwed up the drink order. Yes,…read moreI seen him write it down. We received silverware, with a knife or a fork missing. One person did not receive any. I ordered the chef salad with thousand island dressing. Salad was of a good portion but the dressing had very little taste. My wife got the Greek salad and hers tasted fine. My beer (tall draft) Michelob Lite and it arrived flat. I'm going to add that we were here with another couple who said they have been here a dozen times before and the service was never like this. Maybe I'd come back and give it another chance, but not impressed today. Waiting on check, I hope they serve breakfast

Ambiance: They intend to move to a larger building across the street by May. Their current…read morebuilding is tucked off the road a bit and does not seem like it was intended to be a restaurant. Upon entering, it's a somewhat dark space, with booths on the south wall, table and chairs throughout the middle of the main space, and seating at a bar on the west wall. They do have their restaurant logo/image on the backs of all of the chairs and elsewhere throughout the space. Service: We were promptly greeted, seated and waited upon throughout our experience. They did deliver corn tortillas instead of the requested flour for one of our dishes, but they quickly remedied that. Food: Chips and salsa were provided at the start. The chips are sturdy but probably lack flavor for some. The salsa is runny in consistency with a decent tomato flavor. My father-in-law and I each ordered the Tilapia Quesadilla special ($11.99), which came with rice and was loaded with vegetables and fish. It seemed light on the 'queso' part, but was excellent in portion and flavor nonetheless. My wife ordered Huevos Rancheros ($9.99) and said they prepared her eggs the best of anywhere she has ordered them as she prefers her eggs cooked hard / well-done. Overall, it was a pretty good Saturday lunch at reasonable prices. We definitely will return.

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

My cousin's wife sent me a text message to meet them at "El Ro" and I drove around the west side of…read moretown for hours and finally, ended up at El Rodeo, guessing that was where she meant. (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.
