What Maya Hoppe doesn't like about EL Vaquero Mexican Restaurants:
At the entrance to the Olentangy River Rd restaurant you will see a warm dining room with wood accents. We were through this beautiful room in a cold, hard-lit, tiled floor space with a loud sound system that attacks our ears. The Chicken Diablo (or whatever it was) matched well uninspired fried food with a sick sauce that tasted as if it came from a metal can. We felt we were punished. View all feedback. What Hope likes about EL Vaquero Mexican Restaurants:
Great Mexican place for small and large groups! They serve large portions at great prices and also have half-order options. The Spanish music is sometimes loud, but it is generally low enough to have comfortable conversations. View all feedback.
