This location is an ok spot for a quick lunch, would definitely opt for other options if you are looking for the whole dinning experience with drinks and all. Margaritas are very much watered down and even some of their tequila shots seemed water down to myself and the other people that came with me. The food prices are ok for the portions that you receive but I would not say that their meat quality and seasoning is top notch.

Have been here multiple times and I find that it is best to stick to something small and easy because the flavors really just tend to blend into one another. It is a good spot for lunch because it is never busy and like I said if you grab something small you can be in and out in 35-40 minutes or so.

Service is great, the attendants are polite and friendly and well spoken, the location is also nice and clean for the most part. Bathroom could have definitely used some cleanup but it is what it is. Stay away from the Margarita Flights, heavily...

Great service but we were there on a non busy week night. The restaurant is very dated and you can tell the managers do not pay any attention to details as there were many burnt out light bulbs in the dining room. Food was ehh Ok I guess but he Margarito's were enormous and strong! There were 4 adults in our party but we had to squeeze on to a smaller booth. There were many open tables that would have accomodated us better so I'm not sure if we're were Sat there just so we would be in a certain servers section to split up the parties.

Almost all of the portions are way too big and smothered with refried beans or rice. The menu seemed very dated like the restaurant was stuck in its ways and didn't want to try something different. It was very difficult to find something that was a lighter fare but I asked the server to modify my dish to make it a much lower calorie count.

Bottom line - big potions but old menu. I'm sure there are better places for...

I will take responsibility for my fault in my bad experience. The only menu item that didn’t list a sauce was the burrito ranchero. I apologized and asked if I could get a regular steak burrito, but they sent me another ranchero. I decided I wouldn’t make a fuss, but my first bite was a full bay leaf. That did it. I lost my appetite and l left unsatisfied and hungry. If it was just the kitchen that would be one thing, but our server ignored us to the point I had to flag her down when our app never came and we needed refills of our drinks. To top it off, there was no TP in the men’s or woman’s bathroom. It was nice to see the staff laughing and joking around when we walked in, but it turned out to be in spite of providing decent service. If you’re on a road trip looking for some good food and place to stretch your legs, go to...

Great Mexican chain restaurant. If you are craving Mexican food, you really can't go wrong with coming here. Their menu is extensive and pretty much has the standard meals and combos you would expect. Like most Mexican restaurants they start you off with chips and salsa. They have an extensive lunch menu which is great for lunch time. Various combos if you want one enchiladas and one burrito and such. I had the chicken burrito and enchiladas combo and it was great. Another thing that was great here is they had the QR code to scan to pay and go. It was very convenient. Overall, if you are craving Mexican food you can't go wrong with coming here to get it.

Went to this location last night and I am being generous with my review. The atmosphere was good, typical of all El Rodeos. The food was fantastic as was the drinks. However, the server we had was terrible. After getting there, it took so long for our server to even come to us that the busboy took our drink order. It took 30 minutes after being say for me to get my margherita flight and another 10 minutes after that for my husband to get his beer. We were there almost an hour before getting our food but it was fantastic.

Truly, EL RODEO at 6417 CARLISLE PIKE, MECHANICSBURG, PA 17050, # 717-791-0600 is a 10 STARS restaurant. The restaurant inside is a sight to see! The food was delicious. The service was outstanding, and the restaurant was very clean. I ordered: 1 order CARNE ASADA, 1 order HAWAIIAN FAJITAS, 1 order CHK FAJITAS, 1 order LA PARRILADA, 1 order FLAN, 1 order MOLTEN CHOCOLATE, 1 order XANGO, 1 order CHURROS, and a WATERMELON MARGARITA…Wow! What a good time I had! THANY YOU EL RODEO!
