Wasn't packed just a few customers on a Sunday afternoon. Food came out pretty fast and hot. I ordered the Quesabirria tacos and a frozen strawberry margarita. The Marg was perfect. The tacos were good. The consommé didn't have much a flavor but the tacos were really tasty and well seasoned. We ordered queso and it was good but really soupy.

The greeter, waitress and table runner were welcoming and prompt during the weekday lunch service. The chips and salsa were fine; neither part wowed. But my El Tapatío plate was a good merging of chicken, chorizo, and pineapple. The rice and guacamole salad played their supporting roles well. Ordering from the lunch menu provided a nice value. With this place being close to work, it just may have earned itself a happy hour visit.

Me and my wife were born in San Antonio, so it's safe to say we know what good Mexican food is about. Need to start with how clean this place is. Huge points in my book for a facility having a clean environment. The server (Stephanie) was awesome, very nice, very sociable, quick to take care of the patrons. The salsa was very delicious, chips were good as well. The guac dip is something that restaurants don't seem to get sometimes, this is some good old school recipe guac dip here. I'm a sucker for fish tacos, whether it's tilapia, or cod, or even shrimp. These fish tacos were spot on, fair amount of fish, tortillas were very good, and the sauce was off to the side as I like. Love the crunch that the fried tilapia had to it, no complaints. My wife enjoyed the Tacos de Birria, and this is sometimes where people fail, with over cooking the beef. Not these, the beef was very tender, I had to sneak a piece of my wife's taco. The beans were great, the rice was great, just like back home. No question in my mind, I will bring my folks here when they come up to visit. My mom is originally from Monterrey, Mexico, and I know she would enjoy this spot. If your craving some authentic Mexican food, definitely make this a family night and enjoy the good. You can tell there is passion that goes into this food, and no doubt, we'll be coming back for more.

A little girl and a woman walked us to our table but you could tell the lady (maybe the mom) was making her practice her public speaking which I adored! I tried the lunch fajitas for dinner since I wanted a smaller portion than the dinner option and it was still a good amount of food. I loved that the tortillas were freshly made! The only thing I didn't like were the beans - they had a smoky, almost burnt tasting flavor. Overall, great spot! We'll be back.

So far since my big move here last year, El Vaquero is my 2nd restaurant for Mexican food that I've visited. Well, my 3rd really if you count "The Local Cantina", but I really don't count that place just due to how absurd their menu is. I brought my wife to EV for lunch, and this place was very clean, which is a great plus in my book. The young lady that waited on us (Erendira), was very friendly, very quick to get us some chips and salsa, very quick to get us our drinks as well. Very good service, no question at all. The first thing I always think about when ordering Mexican food, is always my memories of back home in San Antonio. When the plates came out, I really had that sense of home. The enchilada's my wife ordered were spot on, the rice was so authentic, yet so simple. A lot of places try and spruce up spanish rice with corn and just simply call it "Tex-Mex". Not the case here, very good. The frijoles were also good, don't miss out. I ordered the flauta lunch plate, and it really hit the spot, not overly portioned, but just the right amount of food. They have a happy hour with lunch through 2p, so drop in and enjoy the discounted plates.

The arroz con pollo was appealing and had lots of fresh vegetables but lacked flavor overall. Although the Food was bland, the margarita was the highlight of the visit. I ordered a Acapulco which had flavors of apricot, coconut and pineapple combined. Very well mixed and not overly artificial tasting. I would come back to try different margaritas for sure!

The restaurant was very casual with plenty of TVs to watch sporting events and news. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. To start, we ordered the chips, salsa, and queso to share. The chips and salsa are self-serve which we liked so we could refill whenever and however often we needed. Tasted solid. Nothing mild blowing. I also ordered the Chile Ranch Cheese Curds. Cheese Curds aren't very common in California, so I try to get them when I come back to visit. I was surprised by the cubed shaped but they tasted okay. I'll probably stick to Culver's for those. Overall, I thought this restaurant was alright and would be open to stop by if I'm in the area. Parking: Free street parking available nearby
