I have to say, I love coming here for breakfast more than anywhere else in the I.E. - though I don't usually visit this specific location since it's a bit out of the way, but I happened to be nearby. If you're familiar with Rodeo Café, you probably know the iconic house-style spot on Etiwanda! Fortunately, they've opened several new locations in the area. The machaca is absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor, and while the pancakes are standard, definitely try a Mexican dish because it's truly exceptional! read more

Local diner that serves great portions food, tasty and filling! The servers were all very polite and the pricing was great! It had a cabin feel with all the wood used around the area but it made the ambiance very calm and relaxing! Worth it for breakfast! read more

Rodeo Cafe - Country Scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverside, California

It gets packed on the weekends specially on Sundays. There was a long line and you need to add your name on the waitlist. I noticed that other parties were getting seated prior to myself and friend. We waited 35mins until we were sat down. The menu can be a bit overwhelming due too many options. It was loud and very cramped. The food was average and pricey and a bit salty. read more

We didn't get any food, waited outside for 20 minutes, and smelled the septic system for the entire strip mall. We were seated at a high top table, got water and utensils. The three tables seated AFTER us were promptly waited on. We never saw our server, apparently we had the cloaking device on! Never will we bother with this lack luster, loud place. We we home and made our own breakfast burrito in about 5 minutes...much better! read more

Very happy with service and the food. It was nicely lit up and was comfortable. Many thanks.

The food was excellent and every time we come the food is great. But they now charge for salsa and if you ordered Mexican food, they give you a little cup of it. Not enough to really enjoy it. And they only have one type. Really, you need a hot and mild and forget the charging. Or raise price by 5cents in order to enjoy it without paying. If it was up to my wife, I would have spent $10 extra. Only cause the small cup they come in isn't filled all the way, only half way. The people are very nice. read more

Great place for chilaquiles! The portions are large here and so worth the $$. I had the chance to get their menudo and wow, it was filled with all the good stuff. For a little over $10, it lasted two meals. I won't go back to the canned menudos anytime soon. read more

Met sister here for the first time as an approximate halfway point between Hemet Valley & Yorba Linda. I had corned beef & eggs w/ranch potatoes. Corned beef was cooked perfectly w/just the right amount of crispiness and potatoes seasoned & cooked to perfection .Sister & bro-in-law had chilaquiles and son had an sausage & cheese omelette. The layout of the cafe is very comfortable. Everybody spoke very favorably of their meal & the service. Will definitely return in the future. read more

Their food is very delicious. Good customer service love their steak and eggs and their Chilaquiles.

My first time here with my dad, boyfriend, & two little brothers celebrating Father's Day and it's a cute little spot. They had Father's Day balloons at every table which was really cute & festive. We were seated fast & after we took our order the food came out in less than 15 minutes. I ordered the waffle, two sausages, & house potatoes w/ og. Waffle & sausages were bomb but I was not expecting the potatoes to taste the way they did. It wasn't bad!! They were seasoned good but I'm not used to that type of seasoned potato (yes I'm picky). Overall experience was 7/10. read more

Everything was good here! From the customer service to the food! Very flavorful! This was my third time here !

It was my first time there. The food was great and the atmosphere was amazing. The service could have been better. My family members and I didn't get refills on our waters but other than that the service was good read more

I love Rodeo Cafe. I been to a few of their locations and always get the chilaquiles verdes. They never disappoint. Love their coffee, which they're very good about refilling too. Staff is very friendly and attentive. read more

We came here to celebrate running a 5k race this morning, and what better way to celebrate than with great food and mimosas! We arrived before the Sunday morning rush.

This was our first visit but won't be our last!! read more

Excellent breakfast spot. Efficient and fresh food. The fried pancakes are delicious!

Nothing but positive raves for this spot. Hands down has the best menudo in Riverside with the best service every time without fail! : )

I moved to this area almost a year ago and have been meaning to try this spot for sometime and it did not disappoint! My husband and I love to have breakfast dates so a few weeks ago we came to Rodeo Cafe! The service was great, the environment was warm and welcoming and the coffee was very delicious! I ordered the French toast it was great and my husband enjoyed the eggs Benedict! We will definitely be back and have been telling all our friends and family they need to try this place too! read more

Came back for a second try and had a better experience then before. Ordered Chile verde omelette and chili cheese omelet; both with thick cut style potatoes. Hands down some of the best breakfast potatoes you could have! Chile verde omelet was delicious and flavorful, the green sauce could use a little spice but overall had a great flavor. Chili cheese omelette presentation could use some work. The chili flavor was delicious but if you're looking to taste any egg, it probably won't happen. Ordered tortillas as my side which paired perfectly. Service this time around was spot on as well. If this cafe remains consistent in this way, I'll be back for more. read more

Menudo here is probably the best menudo I've had in the area. I was very surprised. Bowl was a good size too. My only complaint was that the service was very slow. Our waitress was super nice but it just felt like everything took forever. Anyway... come here. The food is super good. read more

Rodeo Cafe - Veggie omlettee yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverside, California

Welcome to the newest restaurant to occupy the far corner of the shopping center. I wish it luck in outlasting it's predecessors. My family and I hit up this new spot Sunday morning after noticing it was no longer Dorys. I ordered the chilaquiles, my husband the chicken fried steak, and between our 3 oldest kids the 3 buttermilk pancakes, the kids half waffle meal, and the kids Mickey mouse pancake meal. My husband gobbled up his chicken fried steak, which he is usually very snobbish about, and stated it was delicious - but the biscuits and gravy unfortunately did not past muster and were declared dry and day old tasting. My chilaquiles was meh. The potatoes were not crispy, the beans were bland, and the verde sauce hardly carried any flavor. I may have been setting the bar too high but I was comparing it to the Rodeo Cafes dish in Norco and there was no comparison. ** side note I do not know if they are owned by the same people/just happen to have the same name** The kids meals were all good portions for my 5yo and 4yo but at $8.95 each I almost wish I had bought them the adult meals at only a buck or two more. In fact that's why I ordered the 3 pancakes for my 6yo because it was only a dollar more. Ordered hot chocolate at $3.95 each but I figured at that price it had to be the good stuff right? Nope, it was the packaged Swiss Miss tasting kind that probably cost 50 cents to make. Served so hot to my little kids that I had to take the ice out of my water to cool it down - most businesses when giving hot drinks to kids have the sense to make it "kid temperature" for safety reasons but all good I guess since I caught it before my kids scalded their tongues. Overall food and drinks gets a mid rating from me. The service was also hit and miss. We got seated within 5 minutes of walking in the door (good) but just to get our drink order taken was about 10 minutes into sitting (not good when you have lil kids). Our waiter was very nice but took off so fast after getting our drink order that we were not able to give our food order. Then when our drinks were delivered it was not by our waiter so again we had to wait for him to come back which took some time. Definitely need waiter assigned sections so they know if a table has been helped or not as it is a specific waiter responsibility and not a "group" of waiters responsibility. read more

Food was ok. Nothing special. Bunch of pictures of racist John Wayne. Could do with out. Staff was friendly.

Everyone was really friendly! The food is great! My hats off to the chef, my Dad is 93 years old and he likes his eggs up no crispy edges, He was impressed with his eggs! We will continue to frequent the rodeo! read more

Liz was very tentative and quick. We appreciate her so much. The chilaquiles were excellent.

Great local spot for some delicious food and the service was fantastic. Will definitely be back.

We were in the area and we have tried other Rodeo's and had to try this one. It's nice and big inside and they serve beer and wine. The food is great just like the other places. The fried pancake is a must try. Service was good and the server was attentive. Always a fan of Rodeo's read more

The breakfast dishes are good. Lots of salt in the breakfast potatoes. Lunch menu is awful. My BLT was ick and mom's wouldn't eat her sandwich after one bite, it was so bad. Avoid the older waitress with dark hair, that is pulled back. She takes cigarette breaks while serving the food, so when your food arrives it reeks like cigarette smoke and the food absorbs the smell. Won't be going back. Also, parking is horrible. This location was better as an Original Joe's location. read more

I usually love Rodeo Café -- it's one of my favorite brunch spots! But my visit this past Sunday wasn't great. I found a hair in my orange juice, which was pretty gross, and then my sandwich wasn't made right either. When I told the waiter about the sandwich, he got rude and said I didn't specify my order -- but I definitely did. Luckily, one of the guys who was cleaning tables stepped in and helped fix everything. He was super kind and professional -- honestly, he made the situation better. I hope the café takes this as feedback, because I really do love coming here. read more

Went here with family and everyone enjoyed the service the only problem was the air conditioner was blowing right on top of us and our food got cold to fast. read more

This place wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Granted I did get lunch when it seems like breakfast may be their sweet spot, but I wasn't blown away by anything. I ordered one of their burgers and it was good, but nothing I couldn't make at home. The fries were crispy and hot. Ranch was extra, which I don't mind, but I wish that would have been discussed before both my friend and I ordered our own multiple sides (we could have shared). The place was packed, but even so service was fast . read more

Good food and portion size but not the quickest service. Not a big deal if you are not on a time restriction.

First time and not our last time. Food and service were great. I got the Chilaquiles and added a steak medium rare it was delicious but the chilaquiles could have been more wet with the green sauce. The wife order the country fried steak and she loved it. read more

Good food, good coffee, solid breakfast place. The weight stuff is great, and a lot of selections available on the menu.
