My ONLY complaint and I mean ONLY, is that the prices are going up steadily. Can't really fault em for that though.

I thought the taco Tuesday deal came with 3 tacos, it’s only one. They failed to put sauce in my bag. 1 taco shouldn't be $5

Bartender was a nasty one. I like a good ruff edged bartender but this woman just hated her job and hated I had the nerve to be the only person sitting at the bar ordering a drink from her. And the place has a really bad BO smell to it.

Not as good as when it first opened, but still a favorite!

While the food was served promptly and was good, the music they had playing over their sound system was soooo loud, my dining companion and I could not have a conversation during our lunch. We had to just sit, eat and leave. It was so loud that when I asked the server a question about the menu, he couldn't understand what I was asking and completely answered me with something that made no sense to what I asked. I actually made a comment about the loud music, but was only asked if I wanted to be moved to a booth IN THE SAME LOUD ROOM. A booth was not an option since we specifically requested to sit at a table because a booth did not give my dining companion the back support needed. Our lunch was the most UNPLEASANT experience I had ever had at El Vaquero. If the music being that loud is their new normal, I don't recommend dining there. Not if you want to talk to those you are dining with.
