El Rodeo Mexican Grill # 2 — Restaurant in San Antonio

The parking area was recently renewed. All the staff parked near the rear, west side of restaurant out of clear view. One vehicle was parked near the front of building. An orange cone was near the parking lot entrance. I drove by a couple days earlier, and the restaurant was closed due to the parking lot renovation.

I thot it might still be closed, as I drove by. But, there was a car near the front, so, I turned around to see if the place was really re-opened. As I entered the lot and came closer, I saw a small, red lighted sign in the window.."open". A couple was just exiting to go to that parked car. I entered the building and was greeted by nice wait staff. I ordered food and drink, which came quite fast. The food was excellent. The waitress came back to the table a couple times to check to see if I needed anything. The price was reasonable and overall a good dining experience. I gave a 5 out of 6 stars, as it was confusing whether the restaurant was even open or still under renovation. I think if a few of the staff had parked out front near the entrance, it would have indicated the restaurant was open. I recommend the restaurant based on good service, and tasty Mexican food reasonably priced. I will...

I was so excited to have Mexican on vacation. This was absolutely the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. I normally don’t even leave reviews but it was that bad. First off the food was awful. They do not have queso which was surprising but I was willing to look past that. The ground beef had potatoes in it and was really greasy. I could actually see a pool of grease on my food. The ground beef in my boyfriend’s tacos wasn’t even all the way cooked. Instead of giving us a fountain drink, we got canned drinks which I thought was odd but not a huge deal. The worst part was the service. I waited at LEAST 5 minutes if not longer for the cashier to get off her phone so I could pay. Keep in mind, she never brought my check. I had to go up there. I ended up having to ask her to check me out. I wasn’t rude at all so don’t go thinking that but I was highly aggravated by the time I left and ended up getting a small pizza from HEB because I could only stomach to eat a few bites of my food...

Food is always fast and great. We were sat by the waitress. She then quickly walked away before even asking if we wanted a drink. We tried getting her attention but she just walked away. She seemed to be more in to her cell phone. Our appetizer came out right along with our meal. We had to push our dinner aside so we could enjoy our nachos. My dish was very spicy and delicious but I needed to continuously have something to drink because my mouth was on fire. I waited for our waitress because the other was busy with other customers. I politely walked up to her and asked for another coke because I was completely out. She had the nerve to tell me she would get someone else to bring me one. Then she proceeded to scroll back thru her very important FB message. I’ve gone there a lot but that experience was my worst. Her projected attitude has caused me never to want to visit again. It’s such a shame. Management talk...
