    We had the best experience!! The general manager Spencer was awesome - very helpful and knowledgeable. Everything we ate was delicious and the drinks were yummy! I had the nachos with chips on the side and the pomegranate margarita. Sitting outside in the spring was fabulous. Service 10/10.

    Nachos (chips on the side)

    If you are looking for some tasty tacos, nachos or a bowl, step right up! The line is out the door for a reason! Last week, my boss got us some catering for lunch, so this week we figured we'd give it a go for dinner. Six co-workers and I stopped in for dinner. I am a nacho lover, so I got nachos with the chips on the side. They put meat, beans, salsa, and shredded cheese in a bowl with a covered cup of queso and a plate of chips. I poured the queso over the meat/bean mixture and mixed (that's the photo) then dipped the chips in. I love doing that so my chips stay crispy. It was as good as I remembered! I got dinner and two lunches out of it. We opened a tab since we had adult beverages and someone stopped by every now and again to check on us. We were far from neglected. This place is super busy, but I see why. The food is worth the wait in line.

    I always come here every Tuesday night. The food here is always good and fresh. Sydney is the best bartender here, she makes the drinks real quick and can take your order immediately even when she's busy. You should see her pour the drinks while she takes orders and listens to you at the same time. The lighting and modern touch makes this place a great hangout.

    The food was decent and the decorations were fun. The portions are massive it was almost intimidating. Not the best Mexican I've ever but certainly not the worst. I got the La Playa margarita which good.

    My team was happy

    I loved the restaurant but the food needed more flavor. Also I thought the cost was a little expensive for tacos and quesadillas.

    We've been to El Vaquero twice now to play trivia. While we enjoy the clean amenities and our…read moretrivia caller, both times, we've all been incredibly unhappy with our food. The restaurant is spacious and gets loud when there's a crowd. Thankfully, there's usually a place for our larger group (6 people) to be seated comfortably. Service is very nice but slow. Trivia runs for a little over an hour and both times our food has taken about 45 minutes to come out, despite our comparatively small orders. My friend who comes to trivia does like the food here (he always gets a beef chimichanga FWIW), but everyone else has now tried several different dishes and not once been satisfied or even just not unhappy. The one shining star has been the cheese dip. It really is pretty good cheese dip, lol. The first time I ordered the chipotle chicken, which is supposed to be chicken in a chipotle sauce. I was firstly surprised and disappointed to see these were small strips of chicken rather than a chicken breast. But that would've been okay...had the chipotle sauce been decent. It had no chipotle flavor and honestly mostly just tasted like sour cream. It was very weird. My parents have tried a beef burrito, beef taco, and chicken taco. They said the beef has an unpleasant metallic taste and the shredded chicken was, according to my dad, inedible. Most recently, my husband got a carne asada burrito and said it tasted so unpleasant he was concerned about whether he should even eat it. Fortunately, no ill effects came about as a result of it; he determined it was ultimately just very low quality meat with an unpleasant texture and taste. My father in law just doesn't order anything except a beer after coming for breakfast once and having a bad time there, too. On my most recent visit, I got a side of rice and beans to eat with chips and cheese dip. The rice had been cooked into sticky, mushy lumps and had no flavor. At this point, I have no idea what to order that might even come close to satisfying my palate. It's disappointing. We may be forced back due to circumstances like our availability in order for us to play our favorite game and have time together. If so, I'll continue to try different things until I can maybe someday find something that works. I want to like this place and wish I had the experience so many other reviewers have had.

    We were talking about birria tacos and decided to check out El Vaquero. We haven't been here in a…read morecouple of years. The restaurant wasn't very busy at 2:00. We were quickly seated and drinks brought out. Chips and salsa arrived next. Dave ordered the birria tacos and I ordered the lunch chicken fajitas and chicken chipotle soup. The birria tacos were 3 each and served with consommé, red sauce, green sauce, and rice. The consommé was flavored well with fresh onions and cilantro. Each birria taco had beef, cheese, onions and cilantro. Taking a bite, the tasty consommé made the taco flavor enhanced. These tacos were delicious. 5/5 The chicken fajitas and accompanying salad plate with corn tortillas was delicious. The meat was flavored well and there was a generous portion of food. 5/5 My chicken chipotle soup was delicious. The accompanying onions, cilantro, jalapeños and rice allowed me to create a perfect taste. 5/5 The chips and salsa were so good. Everything we ate was very delicious! Y'all need to stop by and give this restaurant a try. 5/5

    This pretty much sums up our visit:…read more Me, getting into the car: wow, that was bad Husband, closing my door: yeah. We specifically came for margaritas during their social hour. $3 off a set list plus seasonals. There was a table card listing seasonal drinks. I specifically asked our waitress if the Christmas margarita was considered seasonal. She assured me it was, until we got our check and she said it wasn't. I'm not arguing over $6 but $26 for two watered down drinks was not a social hour deal. It's not a deal anywhere. My husband and I shared the three different empanadas gracing the social hour menu. The chicken was delicious, the beef was ok but the fish was fishy. So much so that I didn't even get to a second bite. We ordered chips, salsa and queso for the group. The chips were great - crisp and airy. The queso was good though unremarkable, the green salsa was great. The red was a tad hot for me but everyone else at the table disagreed with me. Husband and I shared the enchiladas verdes. Three chicken enchiladas were served with a plate of nearly tasteless rice. The enchiladas were dry. Even queso didn't help. I ate half of one and my husband didn't even want my second. We didn't take home the leftover enchilada. That pretty much sums them up - not even worthy of a to-go box. With tip, our check was $90. Way too much for such a mediocre meal. We just walked in the door. Hanging up our jackets, we agreed - we won't go back.

It comes with three and a side of rice. Also got one green tamale. It was filled with chicken. I guess the red might be with pork. I'm not sure.

And we loved the homemade green and red hot sauces they provided in squirt bottles. The chips and salsa also tasted very fresh, but the amount of salsa was soooo small. It was comical. Would've loved more, especially for the upcharge of $2.99. We would definitely come back and try other options.

The owner at the front of the restaurant is polite and very helpful with menu selections. Food/Drink: I ordered a Jamaica (Hibiscus). It wasn't too sweet, and had the right amount of tartness. Compared to Tex Mex and Mexican restaurants in town, they provide a meager amount of chips, but they are freshly made with some homemade salsa. I didn't really have to worry about snacking on the chips because my food came out fairly quickly. I ordered some Mole Enchiladas and received some large portions. The chicken enchiladas were a little juicy, and the mole really enhanced the flavor. I loved the smokiness of the ancho falling through + the chocolate flavor. The cotija cheese and crema drizzled on top of the mole was good too. It had a tinge of sweetness, and paired well with the Jamaica. I recommend you try this place out!
