I moved to the area over a year ago and have been here so many times, my review is overdue. It's a small ranch style cafe that serves American-Mexican food. I absolutely love the chilaquiles. Be careful because the pepper and salsa is actually spicy! Amazing service, big portions, reasonable prices, and delicious food! My only complaint is that they're not open later, I'd love to have late lunch/dinner here and hope they consider extending their hours in the future because it's that good! read more

Warmly greeted right when you walk in. Our waitress was attentive and staff go around making sure you never run out of coffee. The place is cozy inside with some western charm. There is outdoor seating as well. Portions are good. My husband got the chicken fried steak. The chicken fried steak was perfectly fried and tender in the inside. The gravy was thick and creamy. They also give you a little side of salsa . There is a little bit of sweetness to the gravy so the salsa nicely balances it. I got the chorizo burrito. Yummy for meat lovers, it was a it much for me as there were no potatoes in the burrito in which I'm used to, but nothing that the hash browns couldn't fix. Just lathered them in to every bite with salsa and it was better. The beans also had a little kick. Pay at the cash register in front. Will come back again. read more

Had the chilaquiles here and they were really good, definitely coming back for more! Just a heads up, they offer two sauces, and one of them contains pork. The beans also have pork, so make sure to ask if you have any dietary restrictions. The chilaquiles were served in a generous portion with sour cream and cheese. You can choose a side, I went with the house potatoes. Everything was delicious, and the food came out super quickly, which really surprised me. The servers were very attentive and welcoming. The restaurant is a bit small, but very cozy. They also have outdoor seating, which we really enjoyed. Parking is a limited, but we were able to park on the side of the nearby vet hospital. It was only about a two-minute walk, and we even got to see some horses along the way! read more

Pancakes are fire service is really good too I also like the chicken tenders and fries

After conquering the Pumpkin Rock Hike, my friend and I were starving--like, "my stomach's growling louder than my hiking boots" hungry. We decided to hit up Rodeo Café, and even though the wait was a solid hour (Sunday rush, of course), we stuck it out. And let me tell you--SO worth it. The portions here? Massive. The kind of plates that make your eyes go wide and your heart happy. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with green sauce, and oh my goodness--phenomenal. Perfectly cooked eggs, flavorful beans, crispy house potatoes, and a bonus roasted jalapeño on the plate (love that touch!). The coffee was super tasty, the hostess and servers were friendly, and the overall vibe was that cozy, small-town breakfast energy you just can't fake. After hiking, this meal hit every spot. If you're ever in Norco, hungry, and craving something home-cooked and hearty--don't skip Rodeo Café. The wait's long, but your taste buds will thank you! read more

Rodeo Cafe - Huevos rancheros, Verde-with eggs over-easy and their house potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Norco, California

When it comes to takeout, Rodeo Café in Norco really sets the bar. Of the two locations, this one's the clear standout. Service is lightning-fast, the staff is super friendly, and somehow they manage to be just as attentive with takeout orders as they are when you dine in. The food travels beautifully--everything tastes as good as if it just came out of the kitchen. And the attention to detail? Impeccable. They pack everything you need, down to the Chalula, A1 packets, and their house salsa (which deserves its own round of applause). It's the little things that make takeout from Rodeo Café feel like a full restaurant experience--minus the wait. read more

Damn this place was awesome. My new favorite breakfast place. My meal was 34.00 i have a porter steak three eggs potato's and waffle. And it was well worth it read more

Went by for breakfast recently and had a terrible experience. I ordered chile verde huevos rancheros, as usual. Asked for the eggs to be cooked over medium to over hard, as usual. Asked for the hash browns crispy. Took awhile for food to come out but they were busy. The order came out and the eggs were barely over easy. Very runny yolk. Hash browns very pale. Asked the server to have it remade and she had an attitude. Took awhile for the remake. The people seated behind us were really mad about their food and saying they were leaving. Manager came out to say they would remake their food. Never got refills on our drinks. Server never came back to ask how our food was. I don't think we will return to this location again. read more

Went in on a weekday- like random Tuesday- they were busy and service was a little slow Got table on the patio and I didn't even log inside but it was busy. I was between breakfast and lunch so decided to have the sandwich with soup. I asked the server if the soup was canned or homemade - ? he said everything is prepared in house - ehhh nope, soup was awful but the sandwich was good! My niece and nephew got chilaquiles plate with eggs and beans and they said beans were not good tasting and chilaquiles sauce wasn't great but they were crispy and egg was cooked well. Maybe place is better for dinner time- will prob come back to try a burger some day . read more

Great little breakfast spot! Parking's a bit tight since it's tucked in a small corner, but Rodeo Cafe literally feels right at home in Norco. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The vibe is very chill. It's obvious that the star of the show here isn't the ambiance or the decor... it's the food. Everything was cooked to perfection, and we're already looking forward to coming back! read more

Went on Sunday afternoon 2/22/26 and waited about 50 minutes to get seated. It was our first time and we really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, great portions, fair price, wonderful service. We can't wait to be back to try the Menudo; They were sold out by the time we got there so make sure to get there early! Ambiance is very intimate, mostly Hispanic :) Nice that they have a small fenced area connected to the restaurant for you to put your horse while you eat. Horses are a central part of the Norco/Jurupa community. We'll definitely be back read more

Rodeo Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Norco, California

The Temecula location is nowhere near as good as the one in Norco. When I eat at the Norco restaurant, I can usually only finish about half my meal and end up taking the rest to go. However, I ordered the exact same plate--huevos rancheros with green sauce--twice in Temecula, and both times the portion was about half the size and not nearly as good. At the Norco location, the plate is piled high and almost overflowing. In Temecula, the plate was flat, and the green sauce was watery, as if it had been diluted. The beans were also watered down and barely spread on the tortilla, and there was very little pork. Despite the noticeable difference in quality and portion size, the price was about the same. I could have overlooked the food and simply chosen not to return. However, what prompted me to write this review was the bill. I was shocked to see a $4.00 charge for hot water. When I questioned it, the manager/owner told me they charge $4.00 for hot water with lemon--which is exactly what I ordered. It wasn't even purified water; it clearly tasted like tap water with a metallic flavor. That charge felt excessive and unreasonable. If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't have written this review. I really wish this location were better because I do enjoy the one in Norco. They may attract first-time or tourist customers, but based on my experience, it's hard to see them building a strong base of returning local customers. I do have to mention that they did return my $4.00 After I complained. read more

Rodeo Cafe Norco, CA Date went: 10/13/25 (Monday) at 10:00am Pretty busy inside the establishment despite being a Monday morning Space: As soon as we (party of 3) arrived, we were instructed by a gentlemen at the front desk to seat ourselves anywhere there was an open table. There was about 11 tables, if I recall correctly, on the inside and an outdoor patio area (which I didn't get a chance to really see). Ordered: Pancakes, eggs, strawberry French toast, and 2 Vegetable omelettes Pancakes: 7.5/10 Strawberry French toast: 6/10 Veggie Omelette: 7/10 (I have a gluten allergy so I appreciate being able to get fruit as a side rather than toast or biscuits and gravy). Service: Friendly! Very fast! (We ordered at 10:18am and got our food at 10:28am) Checked our table quite frequently to see if we needed anything Recommendations: Staff didn't have name tags, can't shout out our waitress because nobody had name tags on. Put a label next to Gluten Free items. Maybe have a small platter where you can try a small portion of a little bit of everything. Overall, cute mom and pop feel establishment. The dishes we tried were okay, but the friendliness of staff and fast service definitely the pros! read more

This place was recommended to me by a coworker who lives in the Corona area and it did not disappoint. The prices on most items is $15+ but the portion of the food makes it worth it. The food came out fresh and it all looked amazing. I ordered the chorizo and cheese omelette with a side of beans and rodeo potatoes. My mouth is watering thinking about this plate My mom ordered the French toast and it was so good, the butter tasted real (iykyk). The service was great and our waitress did an amazing job checking in on us and refilling our drinks. The space is small and a little crowded but the ambiance is cozy and very welcoming. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes on the menu. read more

For those of us in Jurupa Valley sadly our Rodeo Cafe is gone now. It is not known whether a new one will open at another location near by. We can only hope. But lament not cause close by in Norco is another Rodeo Cafe. This one is a bit smaller so your wait might be longer but once inside you're greeted with the exact menu as the JV location. Excellent comfort food, big portions, hot coffee and soft country music in the background. One noticeable difference is that lots of folks here wear cowboy boots I noticed. Norco is of course known for its horse culture so this is probably why. So mosey on down for some chow at Rodeo Cafe. Bring your cowboy boots. read more

Rodeo Café man, this is the most amazing breakfast you can get! My go-to order: the veggie omelet with extra salsa, a Coke, and the waffles (solid every time). It's just that perfect comfort breakfast simple, hot, and made right. I used to go to their old location in Jurupa, and now this spot is my breakfast go-to. I usually hit it early around 6 a.m. or later around 1 p.m. once the rush dies down. Either way, it's always worth it. Great food, chill vibe, and consistent quality that's Rodeo Café. read more

This restaurant, in Norco ( horse town USA) has dine in and take out. They serve a wide variety of burgers , sandwiches and Mexican food for breakfast and lunch. It's easy access to drive in and out. I got a take out burger and drink, at a reasonable price. I was surprised how great my cheeseburger was! It tasted like home made, back yard BBQ, yumm. And it was very large. Service was quick and friendly. It's a nice clean looking place. I wouldn't eat at the chain store take out places if I had such a nice mom and pop shop available. Try it! read more

The waitress refused to serve us because we had a coffee in our hands. Even after we asked to be seated outside. I understand they have policy's and I understand not being able to sit inside the restaurant with outside drinks. But cmon? Do better. Other restaurants don't make you toss your drinks if you ASK & CHOOSE to sit outside. We're outside for crying out loud next to horses and horse shit be so for real. DO BETTERRRRR read more

Great service and the good is warm amd very flavorful will return and try other items on the menu.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast, service and seating! We brought our pup and sat on their awesome patio. It almost felt like you were inside. Very comfortable. We split the Denver omelette with Rodeo potatoes. It was HUGE and I can't imagine anyone being able to eat the whole thing. A roasted jalapeño also came with it. My husband and I can't say enough about how delicious everything was. Our server, Stacey, was excellent! The other servers who went by our table were also very nice, friendly and asked if we needed a warm up on our coffee. If we lived in this area we would make this a regular eating place! read more

We knew the food was good by the packed parking lot and long line at the front. Once we got in, we were not disappointed. It is a mixture of American and Mexican food (pancakes, chiliquiles etc). We placed our order and 10 minutes later food started arriving. They bring it out as it becomes ready so it's hot and fresh. They did a great job and can't wait to go back. read more

Great breakfast options and portions. Lovely cafe with Norco culture. Loved our stop for weekend brunch

Great food and service. I'd come here just for the country potatoes. The machaca and country fried steak are my usual plates.

Friday morning around 10 am and the place was packed already. It's a small cozy restaurant with inside and outside seating. Staff are all friendly here and service is amazing. They keep your drinks refilled and check on you frequently. We got seated and ordered right away. Food came out in 10 minutes and everything was fresh. The rodeo potatoes are sliced potatoes with yummy onions and seasonings that are cooked to perfection. The omelettes are a good size packed with your choice of filling. I got the Denver which came with ham, onions, green peppers, and cheese. My husband got the combo omelette which comes with ham, bacon, sausage, onions, and cheese. They were both delicious. The omelettes come with a side so I got the English muffin which was good and my hubby got the biscuit and gravy which he said lacked flavor. Overall, we enjoyed our breakfast and would highly recommend this place. Personally, I like sitting outside cause it gets pretty crowded and stuffy inside the restaurant. read more
