This is the third time we have ordered take out from this El Vaquero location. Order is wrong for the 3rd time. No one answered the phone. Drove back to the restaurant to get a refund. No apologies. Two men at the counter just didn't seem to care, on their cell phones. Food is decent, service is severely lacking. Unfortunately, 3rd time is the charm, won't be returning.

Bland and disgusting! Mole sauce was so sweet and chicken had no flavor.

Outstanding food! Very clean and modern restaurant! Staff is on point! Their food never disappoints and is always consistent. Prices are appropriate. I believe they a have the best tasting chile Rellenos in the Midwest. Try and tell me I’m wrong!

I recently ate at El Vaquero Mexican Restaurant. I really enjoyed the fresh ingredients in the food. The carnitas were delicious. The staff was very friendly, and the drinks were great. Overall, it was a great experience.

Good food, great atmosphere, solid service. I recommend asking for some hot sauce with your order, it's spicy and has so much flavor!

I dislike leaving bad reviews but the food we had here, while visiting from out of town was just terrible ?. It should have been a warning that at 1:30 on Sunday afternoon there were only two other occupied tables.The chips and salsa were the first items to arrive at the table, which is very normal. The oil in the corn chips had turned rancid. You could smell the stench from about two tables away. The chips were very warm, but totally unedible.Our table ordered a variety of food which came very quickly. Not noticable when it arrived but the entrees were also unable to be eaten. The Mole' was like a flavorless warm brown gravy. The chicken was chewy. The potato and spinach enchiladas smelled (and tasted) more like feces than fresh, well-prepared food.Nobody at the table had any desire to finish their food and I didn't make it past the first bite. Avoid this place at all costs for food. Maybe the drinks are okay, don't know.Vegetarian options: Typical no-meat options, but don't go here to eat.
El Vaquero Mexican Restaurant has consistently exceeded my expectations. The vibrant and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for an authentic dining experience. From the moment you step in, the friendly staff makes you feel right at home.The menu boasts a diverse selection of Mexican dishes, each bursting with genuine flavors. Whether you're a fan of traditional favorites or looking to explore new culinary delights, El Vaquero has something for everyone. The portions are generous, and the presentation adds to the overall dining pleasure.I particularly appreciate the attention to detail in the service – prompt and courteous without ever feeling rushed. The margaritas are a must-try, adding a delightful touch to the meal.El Vaquero Mexican Restaurant is a go-to for me when craving a taste of Mexico right in the neighborhood. Highly recommended for those seeking an authentic culinary journey paired with warm hospitality.

Make sure to check your receipt. They charged me a "pre tip amount" of above 15%. And then asked for more tip without explaining that they already added it to my check. I felt ripped off. Not going there anymore.
