Okay...so this place had a little set back last year. Their problem was corrected and so we decided to give them another chance. We are glad that we did. We ate here on a Sunday night and it was busy. No unexpected added ingredients....The food was great. The service was flawless. The cost very reasonable. My husband had three beef tacos on crunchy corn tortillas and I had pork carnitas with rice and beans and a mojito. We will be back! read more

I had a bad experience here. I ordered food for pick up during my lunch hour. A quesadilla, beans, rice, and guacamole. I was informed while picking up that they were out of guacamole.. they did not offer a substitute nor take off that charge. As I got back to work I noticed they also did not give me my rice either. So basically I paid full price for half my food to be missing. And the food that I did actually get was extremely flavorless. I've never written a restaurant review before but I'm pretty disappointed with my experience there. I will not be going back.. Should have went to Qdoba like I was going to do... read more

Seriously some of the best Mexican food I've had. SO good. Burritos are my life. Only place outside of Pilsen in Chicago I can say that about so far. read more

El Vaquero Mexican Restaurant - This burrito is my favorite on the menu. Best Mexican rice in Michigan! - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

While I maybe picky about my food/beverages and service........ The waitress was very pleasant and helpful:-). The guacamole was not as I expected, a little bland. The enchiladas made up for it. The salsa was fabulous. When I asked for special made margarita....it was less than expected. Unfortunately for them, I know my alcohol very well. My adult beverage was more than disappointing. So if you want a great meal, this is a great stop. If you enjoy a little tequila will your meal, you maybe disappointed. Hopefully it was just the tender of the evening, and not the liquor that was the issue. read more

This place is awesome! We went with a family of 7 and everyone's food was very tasty. Service was great and the medium beer is huge! We will definitely be dining here again...soon! read more

It's ok. We have been there a few times. The servings are plentiful and the chips and salsa are good. The food is just ok. The service has always been good and fast. This place would be way better if the quality of the main courses was improved. read more

The staff is very friendly but the food is lacking. The food has gone down hill in the last year. Nothing seemed fresh, the lettuce was wilted and the chicken dishes tasted reheated. read more

Very rude service. And very unprofessional. Which is sad cuz I USED to like this place. Good chips.

Very authentic, fresh Mexican food, good value. Guacamole is a must have, if you order the family bowl (4 avocados) they make it fresh and custom at your table from a cart. Margarita came in a huge chilled bowl-glass, could taste the fresh lime and was plenty strong. read more

Good margaritas, but when ppl are finding roaches in their food, you have to just go elsewhere. Period. Even if the newspaper says they 'have corrected the minor roach problem'...gross. read more

I love this place!!!!! The food, the staff, and the drink specials are AWESOME!!!!!! I fly up to the metro area every month from Florida and I always stop here for a bite.....Been here around 7 times and everything was awesome everytime...PS/ Try the hot sauce! It is very hot and tasty! read more

Great Food. Better than anything I have had in Mexican town in Detroit (with the exception of Evie's tamales).

El Vaquero is my favorite Mexican restaurant! Their guacamole, salsa, and cheese dip are always delicious! I recommend getting vegetarian #69 with cheese sauce instead of red sauce on it. It's amazing!! My entire family orders the same thing now because it's so good. Service is always good at this location. They have a wide assortment of margaritas that are very good! read more

Really good Mexican food! The queso is amazing and they give you enough food for the price. The service is either on or off and some don't speak English very well. But it's worth it. Haha. One of the best in monroe. read more

after this revisit-another one bites the dust. as i said to hubby the chips and salsa were the best thing we ate. i got the vegetarian plate with bean burrito, cheese enchilada and rice(asked for the change of red rice for white listed). burrito had a sauce/gravy that just seemed like the salsa (uncooked), enchilada had more of a mole but the cinnamon was too pronounced so didn't like that. hubby got the spinach enchiladas which were just cheese enchiladas with cooked spinach on top. he got refried beans that were bland and a "salad"-lettuce with a slice of tomato. i see no reason to try them again. probably deserved one star. read more

Overpriced underachievers. If you like a LOT of lettuce on your chimichanga meal, great. Bring a bottle of Wishbone because you're basically getting a shredded salad as filler. If you prefer chimichangas in your chimichanga meal, might not want to try it here. They're bite-size and covered in processed cheese sauce. The beans are terrible. The rice and guacamole were good..... so was the water..... read more

I personally love this restaurant, the food is always excellent when I have gone and I have never tried something there that I did not like and for the cost you pay on the menu you get that in the size of the plate. I also would say I have had excellent service and have frequently told others to go there as well. As far as issues with things in their restaurant I have never and I mean never noticed anything and will always recommend this place in monroe over the many other restaurants around the area. read more
