Once inside I had to find someone to seat us. There were only three other people in the restaurant. Walking to our table I noticed the floor was filthy! My wife stepped on a tater tot or some other fried something? Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She didn't hesitate to assist my wife with dietary suggestions , she has a severe food allergy to everything from the cow. The draught beer " Devils Backbone Vienna Lager " was delivered cold and delicious. Our food was delicious! I had the Baria tacos original with onions and cilantro, side of refried beans and rice. Wife had a dairy free burrito with chicken and red sauce with a side of guacamole. Everything was fresh and exceptionally delicious! It was well worth getting off the interstate and driving a couple of miles out of the way.

I asked twice if the ground beef was supposed to be pink and looked uncooked and they made stupid excuses that it was supposed to be.

SALSA WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD! Fresh tasting, with nice bright vinegar notes. Everything else…read moretasted just so-so. Refried beans had a taste that reminded me of garbage. I couldn't eat them. Prices were high, especially for Mexican food. My daughter ordered the RIBEYE (med rare) which was best dinner at our table. It had nice fat content to make it tender and it had a very delightful flavor, almost like it was cooked in bacon grease (likely was not). I ordered the chimichunga with beef. Again, the beef was good quality strips of beef (not ground beef). My dish came with a tomato onion salsa that made the dish. Add a little to each bite! I would ask for more on the side next time. My wife ordered the chorizo taco, which was literally chorizo in a flour shell...nothing else in the taco...no onions, no culantro, not tomatos, just chorizo. This is supposed to be a Mexican specialty and they didn't do it justice. WATCH OUT FOR THEIR BILLING PRACTICES - I entered tip on first receipt, as usual. Then they brought me a final receipt with no signature required. I asked waitress and she said they just add tip without signature. I said I wanted a receipt with signature to sign. She sent me to manager which again gave me a receipt without signature. I again asked for a proper receipt to sign. He finally gave me one but it had an additional charge of over $2 such that it didnt match my receipt where i added tip. He said it was a credit card surcharge, as notified on back of register (you pay at table). I am suspicious now and will check credit card statement to be sure my card is charged properly.

I've had the Arroz con Camerones and it was perfectly cooked and the shrimp was juicy still, not dried out like some places.

Very rarely does one find a Mexican restaurant of this high-end class. Maybe in large cities like…read moreMiami, New York, or Chicago. But who would ever imagine that here in Christiansburg, Virginia, I was able to discover this gem of a Mexican restaurant. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And this El Gran Rodeo Mexican Restaurant located in Christianberg, Virginia is the perfect example. This Mexican Restaurant is in a class of its own. With an exclusive contemporary decor that gives an air of elegance and distinction, and an outstanding Mexican gourmet cuisine, one can say this restaurant is above the rest in classy ambiance and in perfected, high-end Mexican cuisine. From the time you arrive at this restaurant, and admire the beautiful contemporary architectural design of its building, which embedded in its design is the greatness of the majestic Mexican pyramids; and view the magnificent outdoor patio dining area surrounded by a fence of solid stones and containing elegant outdoor furniture appropriate for dinning; one can become aware of the uniqueness of this restaurant. As one enters the restaurant through its majestic entrance one uncovers a clean and elegant contemporary interior design made exclusively with quality materials, creating an amazing atmosphere of distinction, that will contribute to the excellent dining experience there. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review for a better sense of the restaurant's decor. We were greeted very graciously by the Host at the Host's station and led to our table which was actually a comfortable and elegant booth with granite table. Our server was soon to join us after the assistant server had brought us a basket of warm Tortilla Chips with a Red Salsa and a White one as well. We both ordered Iced water with a slice of lime to drink and a Steak Super Burrito. The Chips and Salsa, both the red and the white tasted delicious. And the Burrito tasted amazing. The pieces of steak inside was quality meat marinated with ingredients from a gourmet recipe and cooked to perfection by a knowledgeable and experienced Chef. Our server came by at the appropriate times to see how we were doing and refilled our water. We already had plans to go somewhere else for dessert but next time we will definitely try the dessert here for they looked nice in the photos of the desserts menu. I highly recommend this very unique Mexican Restaurant for an extraordinary dining experience like no other you've ever had.

We ordered house margaritas and I ordered the chicken quesadilla and a small grilled shrimp. My eyes were bigger than my stomach again. I took the quesadilla to go eat half of the shrimp which was very tasty and took the other half to go. My husband ordered the carne asada, it came with raw onions and tomatoes, no bell peppers steak was supposed to be rare but was cooked well. He said it was nothing to write home about.
