EL RODEO MEXICAN RESTAURANT & LOUNGE – Restaurant

Tucked into a busy shopping plaza on Recker Highway in Winter Haven, El Rodeo Mexican Restaurant and Lounge splits its space between a dinner menu and a bar built for staying late. Burritos, flautas, chile relleno quesadillas and chimichangas anchor the food side, poured over with margaritas and horchata from the lounge. Weeknights run quieter, closing by early evening, but Friday and Saturday stretch past midnight with karaoke, a DJ and live music pulling in a crowd that treats the room as much like a nightclub as a restaurant. Pool tables and a dance floor round out the later hours.
