Rodeo Mexican Grill is a family-owned Mexican restaurant on Sunset Blvd in the famed Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Bell Design Group reimagined its design, drawing inspiration from its roots in the culture of Jalisco, Mexico — agave plants, Folklorico dances, rodeo dining halls, and authentic Mexican hospitality.
.
The design encompasses a new interior service area, bar and dining rooms. Additionally, it includes a new façade, signage with custom wrought iron work over the service area, an open-air patio, windows to the tortilla-making station, custom furniture, and Folkloricos — Mexican spinning dresses hung from the newly revealed bow truss ceiling.
The primary dining room resembles a Campestre — a local roadside eatery — where large gatherings and delicious meals are served. Custom elements include backlit ceiling beams in a multidirectional pattern, cigar wrap wallpaper, custom banquets, and shelving for rodeo-related items.
