Not sure if it is part of the chain El Rodeo (location in Louisville), but they need to do something about their restrooms. For some odd reason, Mexican restaurants have not so good restrooms. They need, easier to access soap dispensers and paper towel dispenser. The handle of the faucet looked so dirty and I could not reach the paper towels that I had to wipe my wet hands on my pants and open the door handle with my tie. The food (enchilada, taco, and quesadilla) was great though. They give good chips and salsa as well. read more

Typical Mexican fare, atypical flavor! This restaurant is a gem in Prestonsburg, KY. I always compare to the Mexican restaurant that I grew up with in my hometown. I've been going to that one for over 30 years. And I have my "go-to" dishes that I order everywhere so I can compare apples to apples. Let me tell you, El Rodeo Grande is definitely as good as that restaurant! I ordered a piña colada, an entrée called "A Little of Everything" with one ground beef taco, one tostada, one chile relleno, one enchilada, one tamale, rice and beans, and a banana chimichanga for dessert. Let's start with the piña colada. I've only ever had one better. That was at a restaurant that made it with ice cream. Unfortunately, that restaurant no longer makes them. At all. So, I would have to say that this piña colada is now number one on my list! Great flavor. Not too much alcohol. You can tell it's there but not overpowering. Chips and salsa: Chips are a little thicker than I would like but that doesn't affect the flavor. Salsa is typical. A Little of Everything: The ground beef taco is average. Ground beef, lettuce, and shredded cheese. However, the ground beef is well spiced. The tostada is the same with some guacamole on top. The chile relleno is delicious! A pepper, looks like a poblano, stuffed with ground beef, melty cheese that oozes out when you cut it, and slathered with enchilada sauce. The enchilada was average also, corn tortilla stuffed with ground beef and covered in enchilada sauce. Still delicious. The tamale was well prepared. The masa and chicken were moist. Overall, a very nice dish and a good way to try multiple items and inexpensive for the amount of food. Finally, the banana chimichanga. Interesting presentation with the colored sprinkles but the flavor was out of the park! The crunch of the chimichanga with the warm banana and the cinnamon sugar and chocolate, caramel, and strawberry syrups. So scrumptious. I had been several times before writing this review. The service has been good and the quality of the food is consistent. I will be returning! read more

El Rodeo Grande is a great spot for dinner in the Prestonsburg area. The service is always quick and friendly, and the food is always delicious. Everything I have tried from the menu has been tasty, though I usually always opt for the same thing - the Pollo Deluxe. They have a full bar here, so we usually opt for beer or margaritas with our meal. The bar service is always great as well. If you're looking for a great spot for dinner, where you can get a reasonably priced, tasty, quick, easy meal, I think El Rodeo Grande is one of the best restaurants in the area to visit. read more

Food was great. Taco Tuesday made for a fast cheap meal. Sat at the bar and service was spot on.

When we are in Prestonsburg, we usually eat at this restaurant if we are craving Mexican food. My husband, son and I stopped by on the way home. It was around 4:00 PM, so there weren't many there. We were seated right away and our drink orders were taken and chips brought. The interior is dated with well worn booth seats and the lighting was on the dim side, but was acceptable. Our order was taken and we grazed on chips and salsa. We eat at quite a few Mexican restaurants (being raised in south Texas, I can't go very long without eating Mexican food), so we have had our fair share of good and bad salsa, but this was probably the worst salsa I have ever eaten. It tasted like they used a canned chili tomatoes or used chili powder in the salsa. Either way, it was awful. I requested guacamole to eat with my chips. It was creamy and tasted fine. My husband ordered to crispy beef tacos, which looked and tasted good. My son ordered chicken chimichangas. You can order them soft or fried. I always thought that frying a burrito made them a chimichanga, but I guess I was wrong since this is the second restaurant that offered them fried or soft. Anyway, I tasted this and was not impressed. the chicken was tough and dry. He said that he had eaten better. The entree came with 2, be he ate only one. I ordered the combination #6, which included one tamale, one enchilada ( I prefer cheese enchiladas), rice and beans. I have been in search of a tamale like the ones from home (San Antonio), but, so far, have not found one. This one was OK, and actually has been better than some I have had. The enchilada was OK as well. The cheese seemed thick and not quite melted enough, but it tasted fine. The rice and beans were great. The service is great and the server very friendly. They checked on us often for drink refills, but they were not aggravating. The cost was less than $40 for three, including the tip, so it certainly won't break the bank. There is another Mexican restaurant in Prestonsburg, which seems to be more popular. This location is OK, but the other restaurant is probably going to be a better meal. read more

Food was great! The servings were large in size & there were many options. I knew I wanted a quesadilla & there were several different types of quesadillas to choose from. I ended up getting the fajita quesadilla & loved it! My husband loved his fajitas he ordered as well. The only criticism I have is the service could've been better. The lady that sat us & waited on us wasn't very friendly. read more

El Rodeo Grande - Mexican Near Me - Prestonsburg, Kentucky

Love this place!! Best mexican food in town! Margaritas are delish and if you are looking for authentic look no further- this is it!

Only Mexican restaurant worth eating at in my opinion. Food and customer service is always on point and wonderful

Used to stop and get good food but went this time and found a hair embedded in the rice and cheese, they gave me my money back but after that I was so sick my husband and I had to leave. To keep your hair up and wash your hands are the simplest of tasks and if I have to worry about if they're doing them or not then I won't continue to eat there. read more

I ordered from here because I was craving a good steak and I was told this place had good steaks. Hahaha I don't know if the people that told me that hadn't been on a long time or they just grew up without any flavor. We ordered online and picked up our food. when we got home, to start with, we realized they didn't give us one of our meals. I didn't even call them because we live thirty miles away. I wasn't driving there and back again. I was still excited for my steak so I dug in and it was the most depressing bite of food I have wver took in my life. They obviously don't use ANY seasonings on their steaks. It didn't have any taste. It wasn't just that it wasn't seasoned at all. The meat itself was tasteless. I had asked for it to be cooked med well but it was cooked med rare. and god help me I think all of my arteries stopped up after one bite because it was greasy as hell. Yuck. I got really sick to my stomach after a couple bites.My ten year old took a bite of his steak before me and said it didnt have any taste. Im a single Mom that doesn't get to splurge on food a lot and it suck's that I wasted my money on food from here. read more

First time eating here. Camping nearby and one of the locals recommended this restaurant. Actually said it was a great place to get steak. Fast friendly service. Nice environment. Chips and salsa were the best I have ever had. Our party had one of the steak dishes, Tacos trio and a Quesadilla....all excellent. Would highly recommend this place. read more

Awful. For starters the salsa was so full of chili powder it was inedible, then the biggest surprise was the chicken fajitas. How do you mess that up? No flavor, well I can say that the chicken tasted old. Then the salad. Pico de Gallo was funky tasting and the guacamole the same plus it was runny. My recommendation is just don't. Never again for us. Oh did I mention the service? No server seen after taking our order. Another brought out the food and still another to get us a ticket. read more

Best Mexican place in pburg!! The food is great, a good price, and the servers are always joking with you! This is a favorite of many, myself included. Service is fast, even on a busy night. Plus an added discount for BSCTC Students! read more

I ordered a cheese quesedila and it legit tasted like dish soap. Basically they did not rinse the cookware properly, that is the only explanation I have. It also frequently smells of sewer, but that is only due to its location. Aside from that, the menu is better and more vast than most Mexican restaurants. read more
