Food is good....the rest, not so much. Took my family of five out, we really love Mexican food, and my eldest daughter spent two months on a volunteer trip in Oaxaca Mexico and loved the local food, so I decided we would give El Nuevo Rodeo a whirl. The first thing that was very noticable is the slow apathetic service, which unfortunately sets the tone for the visit. We ordered the Fundito as an apetiser, which is basically supposed to be a crock of melted cheese into which you dip fresh totillas. Did I mention service was slow? The Fundito arrived and was a solid cold mass of cheese in the crock which could not be eaten, they did bring a fresh crock, with no apologies. We ordered a variety of foods as we were excited to share the dishes, Tacos El Pastor, Tostadas, Chili Rellenos, Torta, and the daily Chicken (can remember the name) special. The food took way to long, 30 - 40 minutes after the appetiser, but all of it was fresh and hot. The food quality was good, but nothing special, and not worth the $65 + tip. The other dissapointing thing was that it was very cold in the dining room when the heat wasn't blowing, which was not often enough for my wife and two (late teen) daughters, we basically had to wear out jackets through the entire meal. To sum up, good food, ok atmosphere although not warm, poor service. There are much better places to eat good authentic Mexican food, that have wonderful service.

South-of-the-border spot that serves authentic Mexican food in the evening and becomes a lively dance club at night.. In Short
On weekend nights, the cowboy hats and shiny belt buckles come out. So do the immaculate alligator boots and strappy heels, all ready to salsa and meringue and baila the twilight hours away at this Mexican nightclub and eatery. Late at night, Dos Equis, Modelos and margaritas become must-have accessories to the flashy attire that spins like pinwheels on the dance floor. The dinner crowd, however, is laid-back and cool, sipping on the restaurant's signature Cadillac Margaritas and munching on fresh crispy chips and generous portions of savory Mexican fare.
