Good food, good price. Service is always quick but very rarely are they happy to see you.

Vaquero's is like many Mexican restaurants that you would find across the country. Not authentic, but satisfying and tasty. I ordered the steak tacos, and my boyfriend had the seafood fajitas. The food flew out of the kitchen and was pretty good. My guy's fajitas had nice sized shrimp and scallops in a very generous portion. My tacos were great and the server was nice. The establishment is clean and it looks like it is a Delaware favorite. I'll probably be coming back in the future. read more

I like this restaurant! I know it doesn't have the best reviews, but I personally have never had a bad experience. Their guacamole is really good, and you can't go wrong with their margaritas! read more

When eating at this location you are offered fast, semi-friendly service; however when you're ready to leave you will be ignored when trying to pay your bill and end up standing for more than five minutes. In addition to wearing patience, ordering carry out is a nightmare. I tried to place a carryout order and had extreme difficulties with the language barrier along with parking when trying to pick up my order. I do not recommend carryout at all. read more

Been going here with my wife and friends for around two years. They always have great food and service.

Although it was difficult to find this joint tucked in behind the motel, the food was excellent. And our waiter was amazing. This is my parents new favorite spot to meet for dinner. read more

El Vaqueros is awesome. No, it's not haute cuisine, but for what it is -- inexpensive, quick Mexican -- it's perfect. Typical huge menu with all the Mexican favorites. I normally get the fajitas, which always feature a lot of beef, chicken or shrimp (or all of them), unlike some Mexican restaurants which hide the meat in a pile of veggies. The place is usually crowded on Friday and Saturday evening; there's normally a wait for a table. If the weather is nice, the outdoor patio is a good choice. Service is competent, quick, and efficient -- the waiters really hustle. There are now five or six El Vaq's in the greater Columbus area, a testament to their quality and popularity. read more

Go-to restaurant! Especially when I'm really hungry because the chips & salsa are in front of me before I know it. Fast, friendly, good prices! Note: corn tortillas available if you ask. read more

Started off with the handicap entrance being a dangerously steep ramp then awkward maneuvering through the doorway. Surprised it past code. The food hm.... Perhaps I should of traveled on down to Taco Bell. My daughter ordered a chicken taco salad, that when served was swimming in juice and dressing. The lettuce was soggy & the taco shell fell apart from being soaked. My dish of shrimp, peppers, & zuchinni/squash had no flavor & was placed over soggy cheese whiz type nachos. My husbands pork dish was more fat than meat. Will not go back, but go to owner operated Mexican restaurant's instead of a chain. Should of gone down to Powell to Azteca, but had a coupon for here. read more

Very friendly and helpful. There was a small problem with my order but they made it right and then some. The food was delicious as always, we got fajitas. If you order the fajitas make sure you order extra tortillas, it only comes with 3 but you need 6 because of the fresh toppings you put on top. The fajitas have so much food it feeds two and the prices are very reasonable. You get free chips and salsa even with takeout orders. I highly recommend and will definately eat here again. read more

Certainly not authentic food, but you can ask the waiter for recommendations on what would be authentic/good and when I've done that gotten better food. The food comes FAST, one of the big pluses, and the portions are large. The presentations are basic, and while most of the menu is certainly not health food, they have newer options that let you eat out and not blow your whole diet. Unlimited chips/salsa and the golden texas margarita is the best in town! Always has a happy atmosphere to it, love the booths. Best patio for hanging out in the summer, not on traffic pathway and pleasant enough architecture, just sit with back to fence. Pretty much what you'd expect for an American "mexican" restaurant, similar to Chi Chi's. read more

Looking for bland microwave food? Than this is your spot!! While the menu is large it comes with the cost of not having anything good on it. The salsa is tasteless. The staff is rude. They can do large groups but who wants to eat warm cat food? The margaritas as good and strong but I am convinced that is too trick you into thinking the food has flavor! If your looking for Mexican food in Delaware go to 12 West or mi Cerrito. Avoid like water in Mexico! read more

Not a fan. More cafeteria or commissary type Mexican food. One thing that makes my spouse flip her lid is how fast they serve the food. Get a drink, boom - great, then the ap and before you have taken a second lick off the edge of your glass and another swig, wham, your meal. We are talking 'seconds', not minutes. The thing that is a total grind with me is how EVERYTHING is smothered with cheese and sour cream. That is great for the hillbillies and their ill-mannered, rotten, kids. Amazing how they leave the table after they are done with their 'fat intake'and buckets of "Mon'en dew"... read more

This restaurant seems to have lost some quality over the past couple years. There are better Mexican options in town.

In the last week I have heard from two different people that got food poisoning from this location. One of them said when they entered the restaurant there was a weird smell like rotten food. Beware of the cheese sauce. They think it was the cheese sauce. read more

Friendly staff, fast service, great margaritas (try my favorite- the sangarita!).

Our favorite in Delaware. Great food, reasonable price and service is good. It helps if you can speak Spanish.

This is where we go to eat when we go out. For the two of us it is usually between $25-35 tip included and we definitely leave full! Service is always very good for us and they are always very quick to get the food to the table after it is ordered. Portions are always very good and they have a very good selection of items on the menu. During warmer months they have patio service and they also have kids menu and decent drink selections. Can be a little noisy at times, hence the four star rating, but don't let that be a deterrent! Food is excellent! read more

Poor showing for being my first time at this location. Ordered margaritas with no salt or sugar on the rim, received salt on the rims. The person I was with got a quesadilla and the cheese was not even melted. I noticed a hair in my food after the first few bites, and was given a new dish. The new dish had guacamole, which I asked to be omitted in my original order. I only ended up eating 1/4 of the dish since I was still disgusted and felt like I had to examine every piece of old chicken for hair. read more

Do not eat here. It takes a lot to displease me at a restaurant. Firstly the silverware was dirty; it had pieces of dried up old food on it. Secondly, after ordering our food it came out so fast that I questioned the freshness of the food. After taking my first bite I knew it had to be old, because it was so dry. Every other Mexican restaurant I've went to has had piping hot food and the plates are also always hot to the touch, whereas, my food was just barely warm and the plate was cold. The cheese on my re-fried beans was not melted and looked like it had just been sprinkled on. Also, I ordered queso dip along with my food order, but it never came out. At the end of our displeasing meal I received my bill and my waitress had charged me for the queso that I never got. When I went to ask her to take it off she already knew why I was coming to her, because before I spoke a word and said "you want the queso off the bill?". So she knew I didn't get it and still put it on my bill. So not clean, not fresh, and tries to charge for things they know you did not get. read more
