Los Vaqueros Cantina & Grill - Sorry I ate it all. Was so good - Mexican Near Me - Hemet, California

My mom and I went to this place while we were Hemet because it looked really good from other Yelp reviews. The chips and salsa were ok, it was definitely more of a tomato like soupy salsa and not a chunky salsa so it depends on what you like. I'd prefer a different salsa but it's ok because I still ate way too much of it! My mom and I got the steak and shrimp fajitas one with flour tortillas and one with corn tortillas. The fajitas came out sizzling hot but the rice and beans were lukewarm warm. They also forgot our shrimp portion of the fajitas so we asked and she said she didn't hear us but out the order in. What we got was shrimp scampi shrimp and not fire grilled shrimp which does not go with the flavors of the fajitas. I'd rather wait longer to get what I wanted than a fix quick that doesn't work with the meal. The waitress was super kind though and I want to make that known. read more

Dining at the Bar is best when there's a Game on. A few days ago when my friend and I visited the place was literally packed and the Bar seating was Empty, so we seated ourselves at the bar and ordered our drinks and Dinner choices. She had a House Cadillac Margarita & an Enchilada I had a Milagro Reposado Cadillac Margarita * Yum and tried out their Chile Relleño Burrito. I wanted my burrito spicy so the bartender ordered me a few Serrano Chili's on the side. The bartender is friendly & we like dining at the bar. read more

Los Vaqueros Cantina & Grill - View from the Bar to the Front Door - Mexican Near Me - Hemet, California

Came in on a Sunday around 5:30pm. The parking lot was packed but there was more parking in a lot a little further away from the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant is large and there are many tables. We were seated right away. There was a group of five of us. There was an assortment of food items ordered by our group. Chips and salsa were very good. The cheese dip was great. Tortillas both flour and corn looked fresh made. All food was very good. read more

What else can I say? Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, incredible salsa and the most delicious food ever! This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant and whenever I am in the area, I will come back. The refried beans and carne asada are next level and the cheese enchilada was the best I've ever had. 10 out of 10! read more

Dined here for the 1st time to celebrate with family. What a beautiful, and festive restaurant! Came highly recommended for the delicious margaritas and for the large food portions. We all enjoyed our dinner and drinks. Service was impeccable! The food was authentic and and very flavorful. I had the Camarones Al Mojo de Ajo. The butter garlic sauce the shrimp came in was so darn good. Great prices too for the food portions. I would definitely come dine here again :) read more

Beth was an excellent server. I ordered the carne asada French fries and as the photo shows it was a huge portion. The meat was very tender and tasty loaded with cheese too. I think it cost $17.00 which for me is worth it read more

We like this place due to ample seating. The menu is overwhelming in amazing combinations. The servings sizes are so large we tend to take food home 50% of the time. Usually due to our excessive consumption of chips n salsa. The service is quick and friendly. Our drinks are kept full. We keep coming back to this place to eat and we will come back again n again. Someday we will have tried all the items on the menu. On the other hand, I'm still waiting for the lighting within the restaurant to be a little brighter as we are still using or cellphone lights to see the menu. read more

Los Vaqueros Cantina & Grill - chicken enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Hemet, California

To start, the service was good. We were seated promptly, the waitress checked on us regularly, and our food arrived quickly. As for the food, it was overall good. We ordered the wet burrito and the giant fajitas. The beef and chicken could have used a bit more seasoning, but the shrimp was well-prepared and flavorful. The beans, rice, and guacamole complemented the dishes nicely. The pricing was also quite reasonable for the portion sizes. The ambiance was another highlight. The restaurant has a rustic ranch-style atmosphere that fits the theme very well and creates a pleasant dining environment. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend giving this spot a try. read more

This place was great! We wanted to try a new place and we would definitely try it again. They had happy hour which was an unexpected surprise. The michelada was good. The tequila lime wings were amazing!! Salsa was decent that they serve with chips. Pricing was reasonable. I was going to only give 3 stars because the fajitas really didn't have a lot of flavor. The meat wasn't seasoned and they were very bland.. but Beth our waitress gained an entire star back.. and made our experience wonderful read more

Best place for chips/salsa and margs for a good ole time! This is our one of girlfriend spots for celebrating birthdays. We usually take up several tables and are the LOUDEST. Food is good. I personally like their albóndigas when I can't get to LA. Other favorites are crunchy tacos, and enchiladas to name a few. read more

We came in for happy hour such a disappointment. The margarita was just fine and so was my white wine but the food oh my gosh, if this is what you say as good Mexican food then you don't know good Mexican food. At least a happy hour food was terrible. Our chicken street tacos had no flavor. And the Mexican pizza was so watery. I'm not sure how they could even serve this to people. We are native southern California's and this was a very poor example of what Mexican food should be. The service was good and our waitress was very friendly. The place is very clean and inviting but happy hour is a poor example of their Mexican food. read more

False advertising - The chili relleno was filled 95% with mashed potatoes and 5% cheese. Yes, in small print it discloses the relleno includes potatoes, but no indication that their chili relleno had next to zero cheese. The menu description should clearly indicate that it's a potato chili relleno. Sure you can put chicken, beef, shrimp or even veggies in rellenos, but identify as such. By adding the main ingredient to the beginning of the description would be a more honest representation of what is being ordered. Simply calling it chili relleno is deceptive advertising considering the vast majority of people assume cheese is the favored ingredient in chili rellenos. read more

Los Vaqueros Cantina & Grill - A chili relleno stuffed with mashed potatoes rather than cheese. - Mexican Near Me - Hemet, California

Went here yesterday with my wife and child. The food was very tasty and the portion sizes were generous. My wife was not able to finish her burrito. I had the chili relleno which I normally avoid because they never stuff it with enough cheese, this time it was more than stuffed and I was quite happy with it. My 2 year old was able to finish all his food which is always a good sign. The place is nice and clean and choosing a booth is the right option, if you choose a table you're stuck in the middle of the restaurant and have no privacy. The waitress and host were very nice people and provided excellent service. This is worth a try if you're looking for a good spot to eat out on the west side of town. - Mr.Narrwahl read more

Food was delicious! Service was excellent- I went this past Wednesday, and our server Alicia was phenomenal & attentive to our needs & cravings! Overall, we had a peaceful, satisfying, and delectable experience! Thank you! read more

07.21.25. Arrived when they opened 11AM First time in over a year. I remember why. LOL Hostess was darling, very cheery disposition. She went so far to open door for mom and I as we left. My meal, fish tacos was served on a plate with BLOOD smudged on corner. . . Manager: after shaking her head (as if to deny) she sees what I see,"Oh ok. Anything else" As for condescending server, she didn't even let me finish speaking. Interrupts with, "Yeah she told me". read more

This place is NOT enjoyable. The food can be made better at home. The taste is not authentic at all, it's very mild and simple tasting. Honestly, you can cook this type of food in your own kitchen and do a better job! They are expensive and not worth it. I'm sorry that I have to tell the truth, but it is my opinion. read more

Margarita was tasty and so were the fajitas! Unfortunately, the majority of the veggies were just onion- almost no bell peppers- but the steak was phenomenal!! If you're celebrating a birthday there- they make you wear a sombrero while they sing to you. read more

We have been here a couple of times and we love it! The ambiance is really cool with a western theme. You can see the person making fresh tortillas right in the dining room!! And the food is so good! I love the combo with a crispy taco and an enchilada as well as their carne asada steak platter with a cheese enchilada. My husband likes their burritos and street tacos. We like to eat at the bar and watch whatever sports are on, and all the staff has been so friendly and welcoming! Date night spot for sure! read more

We had a party of six, that grew unexpectedly to a party of seven. They had already seated the six, and had to reconfigure the table(s) to make room for the seventh. No complaining. No negativity. Just made it happen. Very nice of them. The service throughout dinner was terrific. Attentive. Spot-on. We were near enough to the hostess station that I could hear her interactions with the arrivals, and she was pleasant and sweet as can be. So, for the service, I would recommend the place. the food was good. The chips and salsa were solid. The salsa wasn't spicy (although I like spicy), but it wasn't bland. The kind of salsa that generally pleases everyone. The chips were fresh. For dinner I had a wet carne asada burrito. It had meat, beans (which was not indicated or told to me) and cilantro and onions. Very tasty. Size was just right. Overall, I really enjoyed this place. I'm not in Hemet all that often, but I would dine here next time I am in town. read more

Perfect 10 at a time every time I've ever went chips and salsa. The most addicting thing in the world steaks are awesome. The tortilla soup is amazing.

It feels alive in there as it should. read more

Food is always good. Not the best ever, but consistently god,. Service is good. In house made tortillas are excellent.

Start with service. Very attentive and took care of all my needs. Ambiance was good not too loud but not boring either. Now for food. Steak and shrimp fajita were good. No seasoning. But I enjoyed them. Rice and beans were ok. Beans weren't made with lard so not authentic. Salsa was great tortillas were good. Overall a 4 read more

Los Vaqueros Cantina & Grill - Mexican Near Me - Hemet, California

The food here is pretty okay, big portions, good flavor, and the mixed drinks were excellent. I've come here with family plenty of times in the past and never had any issues before. This visit though, the service really missed the mark. We got seated fast, but it took quite a while before anyone came to take drink orders, and a group that arrived after us already had their cocktails before we even got the chance to order. I would say we usually experience this because we're younger but I would hope that isn't the case. Hopefully management takes a closer look at consistency in service, because it really brought down what could've been a better experience. Inside was nice and clean thankfully. read more

Visited this place on the recommendation of the locals. Let me say, I'm originally from Texas where most restaurants serve homemade flour tortillas and this is one of the very few that does in all of California. So that tells you the quality here. So let me say this is probably one of the best Mexican restaurants I have eaten at here in California. The ambiance is classic Mexican style restaurant with very neat and cool Mexican decor. The service yes was a bit slow at the beginning despite it being about 1pm and most if not all lunch rush being gone. However it improved once I had my plate and food and started to eat. The carne asada was cooked perfect and the chile relleno had a great flavor and the enchilada was on point! I really can't say anything negative about the entire experience from the food to the service. Could the initial service improve a bit? Probably. However, overall the food was delicious, homemade tortillas that taste good and make your Mexican food taste even better! If I had only one suggestion would be for them to serve aguas frescas or limonada and this would take this place over the top!! Definitely going back and will definitely be back when I visit Hemet!! read more

Cleanliness 3 Costs 3 Cuisine 2 Customer Service 5 I wanted to try a new place so i found this one on yelp. When i opened the menu there were bits of food inside the pages that got on my hands. The chips and salsa weren't the best. I tried their carne asada chimichanga burrito which is something i always try at a new Mexican restaurant. For $18 it was pretty small. It wasn't that fried and the meat was super oily. It came with sides of rice and beans. The rice had vegetables in it which didn't say so in the description. The beans were probably the best thing. They had a good flavor to them. I also got a side of fries which tasted like fries from the freezer section and my local supermarket. I probably won't be going back. read more
