I tried the…read more"Mexican style" Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Grilled Shrimp tacos on flour tortillas, and every single one was delicious. For $1.99 each on Tuesdays, the value is unbeatable. Free chips & salsa included. I paired them with their tasty Mexican rice, beans, and a refreshing lemonade--the whole meal was only $15.89 before tip. I filled up too much on the chips & salsa and took home two container of leftover. They have "Ladies Night" on all day Thursday. Big discounts on Cocktails, Margaritas, Domestic & Imported Beer & Imported Draft Beer. The decor is beautiful with bright, vibrant Mexican colors that make for a great atmosphere. To top it off, the customer service was fantastic. I was so impressed I left a 45% tip. Highly recommend!!! It's located @ 8050 E. Broad Street, Reynoldsburg OH, 43068. Phone (614) 626-0051.

Posted this same review to google…read more *Warning* to parents of very young children, specifically toddlers and infants. This place has EXTREMELY intense entertainment. We visited this restaurant for the first time on Sunday evening around 5:30 and had a most unpleasant experience. Not due to food- the food was great. Menu selection great, drink selection great. Little pricey, but okay. The initial atmospheric vibe, great. Unfortunately, we were completely unaware of a ritual apparently the restaurant performs periodically. About 15 minutes into of us being there, while we were eating, the lights went dark. After a couple minutes passed and we're wondering what's going on, music started blasting at an insanely loud volume.I love loud concerts and even I was wincing. And then some wild looking alien/robot guy on stilts comes out and starts dancing around. Our 5 year old son had a complete mental breakdown. He is a little sensitive to loud sounds and this scared the absolute daylights out of him. Understandably so, because like I said the volume was violently loud. Due to this alone, we won't be returning. Even without kids. I can't overstate how painfully loud the volume was, at least during this specific instance. It was one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences we've had. It lasted about 10 minutes. It's a real shame too because before the chaos, we were really enjoying ourselves and the restaurant. We were even going to overlook the fact that our waitress forgot to bring my wife's soda. We just wanted to leave after that for fear of it happening again. I hate to sound like a pansy or overly protective parent. It was clearly a "iykyk" thing. Everyone else in the restaurant loved it. Good for them and to each their own. If only someone had come around to the tables with young children and gave a small warning of "hey, it's about to get loud", that would've been great and very helpful. But nothing. Their website doesn't state anywhere that this is something that happens. There are videos of it, which is fine, but the videos do not convey the incredibly loud volume of the place when this action goes down. We won't be returning unfortunately. So fair warning to parents of toddler and infant children- bring soundproof headphones for your littles or prepare to step outside when it goes dark.

This place has high potential to be a fantastic restaurant if they just used seasoning. Everything…read morewas just too bland. The quality of the food was good it just needs some pizazz. The guacamole was a little thin but has good taste. The cheese dip had been cut with too much milk. Fajita quesadilla was really good. I brought home my leftovers and added some spice and it went to excellent. The rice is probably the best you will have at any Mexican restaurant. It is so fluffy and moist. Our server was attentive and very pleasant. Just a heads up they do not start serving lunch until 12pm. We sat outside by the canal and loved it. We will definitely give it another try. Maybe the seasoning thing was just an off day or because they had just switched from breakfast to lunch.

We have never been disappointed with the service or food. We are always greated warmly and with a genuine smile. We appreciate how well we are treated and how our preferences are remembered wirhout us having to say a word. If your looking for real aurhentic Mexican food and genuine people who care, this is the place to go. Don't forget to ask for their homemade hot sauce to accompany any dish. You won't be disappointed.

We loved the Fiesta Del Rio on Polaris Parkway and were sad to see it close permanently last week…read more So, today, Cinco de Mayo, we decided to head out to Johnstown to the original Fiesta Del Rio and we found it to be as good as our old favorite on Polaris Parkway. The interior decor is very pleasant and bright. And while it is Mexican-themed, it is a more subdued interior than most Mexican restaurants. The service was EXCELLENT and the food was GREAT. It being Taco Tuesday, my wife had a selection of tacos and all were great. I went for my go-to, a burrito, and was not disappointed. The pulled pork in the burrito was exceptional. It was served with rice and a salsa like salad on the side -- it was great. This location is a bit of a drive compared to their former Polaris location but it was worth the drive.

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.
