Reviews summary

El Vaquero, a beloved local Mexican restaurant, offers a tantalizing array of dishes, drawing both enthusiastic fans and critical diners. While the vibrant flavors and attentive service have won many hearts, frustrations arise from inconsistent order accuracy and portion sizes. Patrons rave about the delicious chicken and signature margaritas, often highlighting the quality of dishes like fajitas and queso fundido. However, some diners express disappointment over incorrect orders and underwhelming chip portions. Despite these inconsistencies, the friendly atmosphere and enticing specials, particularly during Taco Tuesdays, keep visitors returning for more culinary adventures.

Was Anonym at Vaquero's a mag?

We came all the way from Canada to dine at this restaurant and we absolutely loved it. We tried a variety of dishes from the menu and enjoyed every single one. The Mexican food was fantastic and my wife particularly enjoyed the margaritas. The staff were always very friendly. We can't wait for patio weather to come so we can visit again! View all feedback.

What Danielle Muncie dislikes about Vaquero's:

Every single time I get carry out from here the order is WRONG. And not just a simple wrong you can deal with but completely wrong. Tonight I ordered a CARNITA burrito, NO BEANS. I got a chicken burrito filled with so many beans it's all you can see. Barely any chicken at all. Great. I'll eat the three pieces of chicken out of this bean infested monstrosity. The food always taste good. The chicken is good. That's why... View all feedback.

Hard to find better service. They were great, very fast which is good. I'm not always in a hurry to eat but that night in particular we were a little rushed. Shared the fajitas with my wife and got a tostada to go with it. Great food

If I'm going out for a good Mexican cuisine in my local area, I'm going to this spot. They have cheap tacos on Monday and Tuesday for $1.69 a piece. They have a great drink selection, and friendly staff.

I'm not normally a big tex mex fan, but I always enjoy El Vaquero's. The staff are very friendly, the food never disappoints, and it forces me to wonder why I don't crave Mexican food more often.

Although my chimichanga wasn't fried as I had requested, it was still quite delicious. However, I do wish that chips had been included with the dip trio, as the standard side of chips and salsa didn't suffice. I would have gladly ordered extra chips if they had been offered on the menu, especially since I’ll need to buy chips from the store anyway. On the bright side, the dips were served in generous portions—probably about a cup each—and I received two chimichangas. For a reasonable price, I will likely get two, if not three, meals out of it. Despite these minor issues, I would definitely order from here again.

I absolutely love fried their chimichangas. I apos;ve been a fan of the restaurant for over 3 years now. I have been saying the next time we order from "El"that I apos;m going to try something new but I chicken out end up my usual meal the 2 fried beef Chimichaga supreme with the occasional chips and cheese. LoL... My daughter dish never changes either, a simple chicken quesadilla and a beef quesadilla. There have a few times that a cook has given her quesadilla that must apos;ve been new because it had peppers, onions mushrooms I think. So when placing her order we have to specify no to additional items no to extra items. whether we order in the restaurant, place a pick up order or door dash it its worth it.

Im from texas so I know I shouldnt have ordered Mexican food but I was craving it. Dont waste your time. This place is a mockery of Mexican food. Old and disgusting! Not worth the price whatsoever!

I’m deducting a star because I received a very small bag of chips with my queso fundido con chorizo (which is fantastic, by the way). I just wish there were more chips offered, especially since I ordered a dip. The standard complimentary amount didn't feel adequate for my order.

The food at this restaurant was excellent and the service was top-notch. Our waiter was attentive to our needs, even making sure our beverages were promptly refilled.
