"Ok, YUM. Delicioso. I've been to many cities in Mexico including Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, etc, but I think this is the best tasting fresh guacamole I've ever had. Everything was top notch. Plus, it was so much food! We left very, very full and satisfied."

"This place is definitely in the top 3 places I have eaten in Tijuana so far. The parillada for 2 is the best deal you can get here. It comes with small soup, quesadilla and salad then you get your meats and desert after. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth every penny. The decor was my wife's favorite, it is Western (cowboy style). Service is excellent. You must definitely try this place out. Parking is huge."

"This place is really good. Outstanding service and very good customer service. The outside looks like a scene from a western movie. Like a set from universal studios. Has a mock up bank and a saloon and other buikdings in the back. They also have wood carriages and wagons some with bulls. The inside is also same theme with some cool items on display. We ordered a mix of meats, steak, chicken and strips of ribs. They brought out fresh chopped salsa, hot salsa, a beef broth that was excellent, guacamole, a small piece of quesadilla, home made flour tortillas and real good beans in a cup (not refried) more of a soup style. Lots of food and all was great and tender. We were there to celebrate a bday and at the end they brought out a nice dessert Mexican cookie with filling and ice cream on top. Also all the staff signed a bday card without asking for any if that. Really nice touch we will definitely be back very soon. Lastly, they have a nice selection of popular beers but also craft beers and lots if wine and hard liquor to choose from."

"Randomly went to El Rodeo. The theme is OLD WEST or COWBOY style. They have horse rides in the back and a small separate market where you can buy special meats and memorabilia. BEWARE! LARGE portions of food! Excellent presentation of food and attentive service. We got Parrillada Familiar and it fed 4 people, even though it's for 2 on the menu. Many of the side dishes are pickled which was delicious. Jugo de Carne is a broth, much like Japanese miso soup. It is delicious. Divide the cost by 20 to get US dollar amounts. Highly recommend."
