  We waited an hour for our food, and left without ever getting it. The manager we talked to on the way out was insincere and didn't care at all. Mariel, our waitress, was rude to my wife and never apologized once for the delay, offered to check on the food (until we asked for our drink check), or even smiled once. It was our first time there, and was during lunch hour. What a waste of time with all of the fabulous places around there. It was a neat looking place, but save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else, anywhere else.

  I came in here Thursday night with friends we all paid separate I got one frozen margarita, strawberry, and a Elote corn My bill was $18 something when I paid the male server was very rude and pushy, and he did not give any of my Friends receipts I checked my bank account today as the Payment just processed and they charged me for almost $22. I never left a tip because of how rude he was they overcharged me and it seems that he added a tip on for himself. I will never ever ever come back to this restaurant beware it’s very scammy.

  Alex at El Vaquero deserves a promotion, a trophy, and possibly his own holiday. We walked in hungry and slightly chaotic, and Alex immediately took control of the situation like an air traffic controller guiding a table full of confused burritos to a safe landing. Drinks showed up so fast I’m pretty sure he teleported. My margarita hit the table before I even finished thinking the word “margarita,” which honestly felt like magic and also like excellent customer service. Now let’s talk food. Alex didn’t just “take our order,” he engineered an experience. He gave recommendations with the confidence of someone who has personally interviewed every taco on the menu. Everything came out hot, perfect, and timed like a Broadway show. Not once did we have to do that sad little “excuse me” wave. Alex was already there. Refills appeared like he was running a hydration surveillance system. And let me be real: our table was… a lot. Questions, substitutions, “wait actually,” “sorry one more thing,” and at least one moment where somebody forgot what they ordered mid-sentence. Alex handled it with the calm energy of a saint and the precision of a NASA launch director. Zero attitude. All smiles. Just pure professional excellence. If you work here, go ahead and show this review to everyone: Alex is that guy. The legend. The server you brag about having on staff. Give him a raise, give him first pick of shifts, and if there’s an Employee of the Month wall, just replace it with an Employee of the Alex. 10/10. Would come back specifically to be served by Alex again.

  I am so grateful they have a location downtown. It’s very close to home. I love the lighting that they have there. Plenty of windows with natural lighting. The staff is amazing! Real quick to greet you at the door and get you seated wherever you like . The restaurant is Very clean, nice and welcoming environment. Food was delicious and hot and the service was great. The server we had was very patient with me, as I asked questions about the items on the menu. Not rushing us to order at the same time paying very close attention to our needs such as Water napkins, how we were doing? How was the food? Just communicating with us. In love that. He gave us refills in the chips and salsa as well, were amazing. They come out fresh and warm. The salsa was a nice consistency. Not watery. The food was very tasty. Season to perfection! We order Taco Roberto that’s the one with the feta cheese on it. Sweet and tangy to the taste. Birria tacos with the dipping sauce hmmm it was delicious. We love the strawberry horchata!! Guacamole salad is a must! Plus rice. The pricing is reasonable for a nice day out for authentic Mexican food! Lunch, dinner! And I almost forgot to mention they have valet parking after 4 PM!!
