El Vaquero Mexican Restaurant provides a good atmosphere and attentive service, featuring a large outdoor patio seating area and a cozy indoor space. The menu offers a large variety of options, including vegetarian choices, and the prices are very good for the area. Recent reviews highlight the delicious single bean burrito with queso on top and the premium lime margarita, which was described as out of this world. One customer noted that the food was delicious and served fast, while another enjoyed the enchiladas and sopapillas. The drinks, such as the Mango Tea cocktail, have received mixed feedback but are still part of the experience. Lunch is served hot and delicious. The restaurant’s vibe can be a bit unusual, with a host using a loudspeaker that cuts through the ambient music, creating a somewhat hectic atmosphere. Although the service may feel disjointed at times, with different staff delivering food and drinks, everything generally arrives in a reasonable amount of time. The staff is friendly and supportive, making it clear they enjoy their jobs. Overall, El Vaquero is a decent spot for a meal and is definitely recommended, particularly for its enjoyable drinks and pleasant outdoor dining, making it a great choice for gatherings like graduation parties.
