My favorite Mexican restaurant for many years now. I always recognize the server and staff. The food is amazing and the “on the rock's” margarita is always perfect. Thank you for being so awesome!

I got the piña loca and it was flavorless. My husband got the chicken quesadilla and said the same. My mom got the horrchata and it was watered down. The Choriqueso was watery and was more like hamburger and not chorizo. Food was not good. Service was attentive and the decor was beautiful.

I was part of a large group dining here this evening. Can't say enough good things about our experience! We did call ahead for a table, but there were 22 of us, on an otherwise very busy Sunday night. No problem, they got us taken care of.

Every order was correct. Service was fast. And the entire place was very clean. That's a personal hang up of mine. Even the menus were getting wiped down! Just super impressed. I happen to love chilaquiles, and they were delicious. Couldn't eat them all because the portions were good sized, so I have lunch for tomorrow. Thanks, El Vaq!

Price point is good but portion size is small. In my opinion the food was bad.. zero flavor just a whole lot of cheese to mask the fact that I was eating a freezer burned chile relleno… I was very disappointed because I had high expectations walking in and from reading reviews. I don’t think I will be coming back.

Had lunch and I have to say that the food was pretty bland with flavor. The service was not good and then when I paid at the front counter they asked for a tip. I said if you would have done anything to deserve a tip, you would received one. The environment is pretty outdated.
