Delicious food. Nice staff who very attentive and treat us like family. Great entertainment on most nights -- Salsa on Thursdays and Country dancing on Saturdays with a DJ or a good band. Vaquero is a favorite restaurant of ours.❤️

I'm really disappointed with my recent experience here. The restaurant announced a contest for their event, and I spent time getting ready and made a special trip just to participate. But when I arrived, they told me they were canceling it because they “didn't have enough contestants.” If they weren't going to follow through, they shouldn't have announced it in the first place. It felt like a complete waste of time. To make matters worse, the stress of the whole order actually made me feel sick afterwards. If you're going to promote something, make sure you can deliver – it's only fair to your customers. I won't be coming back.

If you are going to promote something, make sure you stick to it; It is the minimum that customers deserve. I don't plan to return.

*edit* Clean and classy. There was karoke (Sunday), and a dance floor the kiddos enjoyed. Caught them as they were closing, which was around 6-7PM, apologies. Everything was fresh and fabulous, flavors wonderful. Walking distance from the shoreline ?

My server was very kind but someone overcharged my bill by $10. I bought two drinks during happy hour and I left a tip but they still charged my card almost double what my bill was!

Food is delicious and management is awesome but the staff was a bit slow. I had to remind them that my friend ordered a quesadilla 3 times. But I did love the live music and line dancing. Hope they have more live music here!! Also this was the first ever Mexican restaurant that charged for more chips and salsa, wow!

Stumbled upon this place by accident. Was actually thinking of walking out. However, I decided to give it a shot & I’m glad I did. It was on a Sunday afternoon, Karaoke Sundays. They had some good singers, which turned up the vibe. I had their Avocado Taco & Camaron a la Diabla and it was delicious. Fresh and just the right flavor. Waiters were very attentive.

Went on the weekend during daytime hours. Ordered flautas and what came were taquitos. Not the same thing at all! My friend asked for a little bit of Pico de Gallo and was charged $2.50 for it! Will not go back.
