This place has really been a disappointment lately. Service has gone downhill! Last time I visited with a larger group of people for a celebration, it was the worst service we had ever received. I understand it is tough with a larger group, but if you can't accommodate, let us know when we called. I decided to give it a try again just the two of us. Service was terrible, my drink was different than I had ever tasted before. Keep in mind, I always order the same drink. Food was way over cooked. It is too bad that this restaurant has lost its spark. read more

Food is always fresh and hot. Staff really hustles and is friendly and courteous. The manager cares, is very aware and attentive. Been here many times over the years and never had a bad experience! read more

El Rodeo was one of my favorite Mexican restaurants until recently. All of the regular waite persons are gone. All new people. The margaritas used to be the best, now they're awful. The food has gone from great to mediocre. read more

Friday night and the place was packed! Our server was great and friendly. It took 48 minutes for my chimichangas to come out. The were over fried and just basically junk. My friends enchiladas came out looking like soup and tasted like it came out if a can. So bad she had to send it back... If the back of the house was as good as the front if the house this place could rock! read more

This restaurant is a must. Beautiful authentic themed restaurant with great people and the turnover time from order to eat is rather quick. Full authentic food & drink menu. Food is great. read more

Stopped in to look at a menu as I am a picky eater and was curious to see what they had available. The decor wasn't too bad, however the music was a little to loud and in your face. After looking over the menu and seeing how late it was I ordered 2 orders of churros to go. The host took my money and I waited for a half hour for her to come back to tell me that they didn't have any more. When she went to get a manager to give my money back no one seemed to know how to operate the POS system. The manager told me he was sorry and that the truck doesnt come in till tomorrow. We that right off the bat tells me the food is not fresh and is frozen. Lost a lot of points since they say right on the menu its fresh. Also they need to figure out the parking lot as that is a main reason outback didnt do well, there is no opening to the lot in the front and the entrance in the back is not labeled so you cannot tell where to enter. read more

First time there was outstanding. Very fresh food and nice atmosphere. Great service and good prices. Also excellent margaritas Going back today! read more

Go here often. Usually sit at the bar. Within seconds of sitting down chips and salsa are delivered. Great food and friendly service. Guacamole is included with meals, not an extra charge like another Concord Mexican restaurant. Lots of choices on the menu. read more

This place was a step below OK. Nothing I'm in a rush to get back to. The menu is your basic Mexican fare, think of any Mexican fast-food place. Because of this the food is basically microwaved meals. My food was over-warmed, and full of grease. The rest of the family fared no better. We weren't in a drinking mood, so can't comment on the drinks. I've heard other good reviews, but I'm not sure what these people were looking for. Good luck if you head there, and let me know what I'm missing! read more

My mom placed order for take out at 4:45pm and was told it would be ready in 35 minutes. I arrive at 5:20pm and its not ready. I stood there for an 50 minutes waiting for my food as they give everyone who came after me their food. I was not given and update while I was waiting. I will not recommend ordering food from here for takeout as you will be waiting an hour to get it even when you have placed the order in advanced! Very poor customer service. read more

Best place for Mexican food. Every taco Tuesday wl we go there and it's always amazing!

Moving from Manchester to Concord has forced us to give up our favorite eateries and try new local places. In the past we would go to La Caretta or Shorty's. Or El Jimador. So this place seemed similar. We gave it a shot. It was okay. Nothing to write home about. It's nicely decorated and the staff is friendly enough. There is even outdoor seating. The menu is your basic mexican fare. Al la carte as well as combinations available. And of course free chips and salsa. The only thing that wowed us were the drinks. Those were exceptional. The food was basic. My shrimp fajitas were short of flavor and even though my husband cleaned his plate it was more out of hunger than excitement. He said his chimichangas were also bland and the chile rellano was inferior to La Caretta's by far. I think if we go back here it will be legit just to have some drinks. read more

The chips are crisp and the salsa is fresh with just the right amount of zip. The guacamole is tasty and goes nicely with the chips. The menu has enough variety to please everyone. My favorite are the Texas Fajitas which consists of a sizzling platter full of steak, chicken and shrimp. Delicious! read more

Definitely worth eating at! Great prices, me and my boyfriend had dinner that came to just $30. Everything was prepared well. Staff wasn't the most attentive but definitely willing to over look that in my review seeing how the food was excellent and we left full with just spending $30 before the tip! read more

My family of five ate at El Rodeo today for dinner. We got there early; around 4pm on a Saturday. We were promptly seated in a booth and served warm fresh chips and delicious salsa. The waiter, Fernando, was very courteous and responsive. The service was much better than other Mexican restaurants I've been to such as La Carreta or Hermanos. I ordered the Enchiladas Suprema, which was served hot and fresh. Each enchilada had a different filling and was smothered in a wonderful red sauce, sour cream and lettuce/tomatoes, and was to me, the ultimate Mexican comfort food. My spouse ordered the Aroz con Pollo and loved it. I tried the chicken from the Aroz con Pollo and it was well seasoned. The meat in both dishes was very tender and appetizing. The plates are also gorgeous. My children all found something they liked on the 5.99 kids menu: quesadillas, tacos, rice and beans. We also ordered dessert as a splurge, which was promptly served when we ordered it. I shared the fried ice cream with my kids, which was crunchy on the outside with a solid good quality vanilla ice cream on the inside. My spouse ordered the triple chocolate truffle cake which was very rich and creamy. Any chocolate lover would appreciate this bliss. The bathrooms were spotless, as was the silverware and dishes -- these are things I am nit-picky about at restaurants. The servers were all polite and accommodating. For our family of five, with a 20% tip, it cost $72.00, which is very reasonable for the amount of food and high quality service that was offered. I would highly recommend this restaurant, and I will definitely be back to try more items from their menu, which is conveniently online (this was one of the reasons I picked the place). It has bumped my old favorite, Hermano's from my list of favorite New England Mexican food restaurants. read more

Jan 2018. Tried to come me here with friends on Cinco de Mayo but was totally crowded so decide to meet up with our friends for another attempt. The service was great. Very attentive with drinks, food, and chips. My husband had strawberry margaritas while our friends had the jalapeño and mango margarita. They enjoyed them very much. For food I had the seafood quesadilla which was very tasty. Very different than other ones I've had and not a huge portion which was perfect. One friend had seafood tacos, other had a chicken dish and my husband had a variety of different things which he loved. Big portion for him so had that for the next days lunch. Overall great Mexican. Will definitely come again. Great place to meet friends. read more

My family loves it here. It's a very family friendly environment with great food and service. Highly recommend!

We have been coming here for awhile. Every single time we have had polite, fast, and friendly service.Great food. We can't say enough about this place, If you want quality Mexican food and super service come here .All staft members are exceptional. We sat at the bar area this time. very busy. still great! Nicole and Alex were awesome! read more

Dont know why this place is not rated better. I have been there many times over the past couple years. Lunch, dinner, bar.. doesnt matter. The service is always great. They are on it with freshly made chips and salsa as soon as you sit. Waitstaff greet you promptly and get your drink/food order. Food arrives quick and hot. Quality is consistently great. Very traditional style, delicious. Very reasonable pricing. My fav go to place. I could eat here every day of the week. read more

I like this place a lot. Each of the city's Mexican joints have their own style and flavor...and all very good. El Rodeo is likely the most authentic, least Americanized of them all. If you like La Careta, then you'll get El Rodeo. The staff is friendly and fast. The margaritas are big. And anything you order arrives so promptly you're brain hasn't had time to go into long wait mode. read more

Dios mío you could do better This place has potential but I have to agree with the masses, the service is horrible. Kids, you need to work at the Olive Garden for one month to learn how to serve and manage customers. Truly you do this you're golden. Pros: The chips and salsa are quite good. The product itself is good but not great. The beans were very mushy, the product overall was alright but could use some work Cons: I could have invented Cylons to serve us faster than we were served. They just don't know how to manage tables and this was at 4 PM on a Sunday afternoon, the place was not busy but the tables were just poorly managed (Hint: take the drink order, go get it, ask the next table for their drink order, then go to the original table and get their meal order, go back and get the drinks, then...you get the picture) Overall: If you want Mexican it is acceptable but there are most likely better places in the Concord area. read more

The food is delicious. However the takeout order wait is ridiculous. I have picked up here and more than a few times have had to wait at least 30 minutes (OR MORE) to get the food. I go in at the time it is supposed to be ready (30 minutes from the time I order) and then wait an additional 30 minutes. It's like they place my order when I get there. Last time my husband waited 60 minutes inside!!!!!!! Service is horrible!!!!! Unfortunately you lost a loyal customer and all my friends and family read more

I only gave it one star because ZERO was not an option.. Decided to give this place a try by happenstance yesterday. Was in the area, saw the sign and was in the mood for some good Mexican food. To be fair l did like the salsa that was served with the chips but that's where the love affair ended. Everything else was utter crap, lacking both in flavor and freshness.. There also had to be some national cheese shortage as there was only trace amounts in both my nachos and quesadilla.. The chili was some sort of creamed corn consistency mess.. Explained my displeasure to the both the waiter and the front desk.. No resolution was offered so l sent back my still full plates, paid my $30 check and left.. Never again.. In my opinion AVOID this place... YMMV read more

I was most pleasantly surprised the service was outstanding & the food was served quickly. Both the Arroz con Pollo & PolloVaquero were outstanding!!!! read more

We love El rodeo. The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing. Unfortunately they must have been hit with the same staffing crisis that other restaurants have. Tonight was the first time we ever received poor service. We sat in the bar area and had to wait 15 min to get the bartenders attention. Not a big deal in a crowded bar but a much different when the bartender is joking and chummy with the other patrons and ignoring other customers. No fret we will be back. If tonight's bartender is working, we simply will choose a different area to sit. It's a must try. read more

Very good as Mexican chain's go. Sort of pricey for a chain and quite noisy. Staff is on point and plenty of parking.

First off, the manager is great guy who puts his customers before anyone else. I constantly see him running around appeasing to everyone and making sure that everyone has what they need. The wait time for food is never long and the timing between chips and salsa (which are tremendous) and your appetizer or meal is always perfect. The food is of the best quality. I honestly recommend the garlic chicken nachos as those are my favorite. Another favorite of mine is the corona margarita . One of those and you're on a roller coaster to San Juan mi amigo. read more

I have eaten here several times with my family and have never been disappointed. I spent most of my life in Southern California and nearly gave up on finding decent Mexican food in NH. I am very grateful that El Rodeo opened in Concord. El Jimador in Manchester is pretty good too. Service is outstanding, dishes are creative and delicious, price is very fair. My favorite Mexican restaurant in NH! read more

Great food, drinks are always on point with a good selection. Customer service is mediocre and I've walked in to make a reservation 2 times now within 3 months and never received a phone call. Also had friends who were made aware tables were available while I was still waiting to receive my call. I've had a waiter cut me off at 2 margs and Other times never questioned. A waitress dumped a whole plate off food on me because she was more focused on grabbing the bill to see the tip. Just a honest customer looking for a better experience. read more

A "must visit" in Concord. Do you like a good classic margarita? Ask for the Karla-rita, you won't be disappointed. Their chicken wings are a secret menu item, ask for them along with salsa picante (if you like very spicy salsa.) Awesome service, great food, great night out! read more

Request a Karla Rita and you will not be disappointed. My friend and I are regulars here and we are treated like family. As soon as we sit down are drinks are given to us. We have never been disappointed in the food. My friend and I Derrick look forward to going every Thursday for 5 dollar Margaritas and he loves his specially made white sangria also made my our favorite bar tender .Again make sure to ask for a Karla Rita they are the best. Love ya Karla xoxoxo read more

I usually love this place. We got takeout, tipped heavy bc of the VID, I specifically asked the hostess if our order was correct bc we live far, went home to meet guests, and found at first glance that two of our correctly labeled meals were not correct were not what we ordered - (we had ordered two burrito Jaliscos) and ended up with a bean burrito and a chicken burrito in queso fresco. It was too late to head back into Concord. We called, we emailed, we sent photos, we did not get a response. I ate what they gave me which was delicious, but a bean burrito (or a chicken one) does little to take the place of a Jalisco with red sauce... sad face. read more

Stopped in for lunch today. I've been in several times since they first opened and have always enjoyed the food and the great service. Their lunch specials are a good deal and come with plenty of food. The food is flavorful, served hot and in a timely fashion. My father loves that the food isn't salty and they have Negra Modelo on tap. read more

First of.. I cannot believe someone called it overpriced and THEN suggest you go to Hermanos instead!. I like both places for different reasons but when it comes to price there is no way you will get a better deal at Hermanos.. If you like LaCarrera you will like El Rodeo . Solid, tasty dishes served expediently by a pleasant staff..for something different try the Molcajete Azteca and do your margaritas up right with Hornitos and you will have great time and a good value.. but you can't get Hermanos vegan cayenne pepper spiced chocolate cake here read more

I stopped by for dinner the other night after work. The margaritas are the best in Concord and reasonably priced. My meal was good and arrived promptly after I ordered. The bar was clean and the bartender was pleasant. read more

Always incredibly fast service and friendly staff. Food is delicious and reasonably priced.

My favorite restaurant in Concord. House margaritas are excellent and the food is great. Love the enchiladas supremas.

Visited el rodeo for lunch. Wait staff were all very friendly, chips were fantastic the homemade salsa was very fresh. Ordered the lunch special 8 and my sister had the burrito wrap. Food was hot and flavorful! 5 stars!! read more
