“ El Gran Rodeo is one of those places I keep returning to. First of all, they have Corona Familiar... now I am not a Corona fan generally, but Corona Familiar will get me in the door anywhere. Secondly, it is one of these small "chains" with a few other locations that I wouldn't call a real chain restaurant, but it almost feels like it occupies a space between a small singular place and a large chain. There are a few other similar style Mexican places like this in the area, but I have found that El Gran Rodeo is probably the best, and easily fills the space of "manufactured Mexican" better than anywhere else. This is not to say that it isn't legit Mexican food, but if I want REAL stuff, I will go somewhere much smaller, usually run by a family or a couple. However, for what they do offer, they do it very well, and they cater towards the American palate and have been seemingly very successful. There are copious amounts of brilliantly delicious chips and a variety of salsas brought to the table upon arrival, and you can always ask for other varieties if the basic house and verde are not up your alley. I will usually ask for the much spicier one that they have in addition to the two they provide. Flavors are on point, and service is always friendly and quick, and their tamales are also surprisingly wonderful; not usually the case for a larger place like this! Where they really excel for me though is that I can bring everyone here and they can all find something that they enjoy on the fairly extensive menu, and the space is not overdone, but still offers a nice experience without too much noise, while providing tons of space for dining, as well as having a full bar area if that is more your speed. It looks to be stocked with a variety of tequilas for tasting, and they do have extremely tasty margaritas in a world of different flavors, although their traditional has easily been my favorite. In an area with many choices, as well within distance of world-class Mexican in Kenneth Square and in Philly, this is a great option, and I highly recommend stopping in sometime if you are nearby, or in the area for something else. You'll easily find something you'll like, the bill will be reasonable, and everyone leaves happy! ”

“ Best Hispanic food I've had in PA! The food is so flavorful and our server was very friendly and gave good recommendations. We ordered the fajita Texanas nachos, the Texas dip, and the molcajete. So flavorful and just hands down, one of the best meals I've had. We also ordered the churros and vulcan for dessert and they were amazing. I ordered a Pina Colada and it was the best I've ever had. The bathrooms are very clean! We will definitely be coming back! ”

“ Fantastico! The food was perfect- my T-bone steak I asked for rare was tender and red, topped with sautéed onions, mushrooms, and peppers and a side of refried beans and seasoned rice. They have Tapatio hot sauce if you ask for it, and the service was friendly, swift, and there's banging Mexican music playing in the background. Definitely a more upscale place- and while my partner and I didn't order drinks, the margaritas at the table next to us looked hefty and yummy ”

“ Amazing and strong margaritas I can't wait to try more flavors The nachos were super filling ”

“ This place has improved so much since the changed locations! We tried it again after a king absence and we have been there several times now. The chips and salsa are great, bar drinks top shelf and the food is consistently good. The service is fast and efficient. The interior is new and updated. Great restaurant experience! ”

“ The food was amazing, and the service pretty good too, I really recommend it. I tried the Margarita, was not amazing but not too bad. ”

“ Always pleasantly received the food is always great and the Margarita's according to my husband are phenomenal, I prefer the Sangria. If you love this type of food, I promise you will not be disappointed!!! ”

“ I'd call this place a cross between authentic and chain Mexican food. Excellent margarita and the salsa and chips are very fresh. Fried beef chimi was hot and point. Didn't see any molè sauce mentions but next time I plan on trying the Al pastor treats. Will be back. ”
