   Rodeo is one of the oldest Mexican restaurants in New Delhi, and one of the only ones in the Connaught Place area until recently (yeah, Sanchos just opened up sometime ago). The reason why Rodeo is good is due to the fact that the bar is always well stocked (with as much chilled beer as you want!), the service is good, and the ambiance certainly takes you to a rustic old bar in Central America.
   
   The food is typical fast food mexican with loads of cheese. The flavour is definitely mexican, but could be a lot more authentic. My best choice out of their big menu is the Smoked Sole Steak (sole steak grilled with lemon, butter and capers sauce and served with mashed potatoes). The Cottage Cheese Steak is also very good for vegetarians. Some of my friends are big fans of the Lasagne, although they prefer to indulge in it very rarely owing to its high cheese quotient.
   
   Overall, perfect place if you are a bunch of friends, and you want to let your hair down.

   I went to this place because they boasted tex mex. Not only was it not authentic tex mex, considering I have eaten it in the country where it was invented, but it was all highly prices old meat. I was asked whether my chicken shashlik was okay and I replied, this sauce is not what I wanted. Barbeque sauce, when done properly has tang, spice and slight sweetness, especially when its TEX MEX!!! that stands for TEXAS - MEXICO, and this food can be found at the border of these countries and throughout the states. On their behalf, I can say that the waiter went back and got me a new plate with sauce on the side, but the chicken on my plate was old and has that weird taste only chicken thats been sitting around does, I was unable to eat more than one bite of it.
   Now, on to the fajitas...what is that sauce that was used to marinate the chicken before cooking it, whatever it is, its not supposed to be there! DO NOT order the cocktails, they are ALL mocktails! Okay, so now that I am done making my peace with a restaurant that over charges for crap food....the salsa was good, or maybe because everything else was bad, and thats the reason it was good. If this place's specialty is indian food, then they should stick to it, not tex mex please. AVOID!
