    You can’t beat El Vaquero for the best food at the best price. And the queso? Best in Ohio!

    went here today hoping for good authentic mexican food & customer service.. update highly disappointed. went & sat at the bar and besides asking what i wanted to drink she was MIA the entire time i was there. her coworkers had to flag her down just so she could take my order. the food is mediocre & over priced.. paid $18 for small portioned items & mid food. the only thing i recommend is the chicken tamales!

    I have been eating at this restaurant for years and I've always enjoyed it. I am now writing a review based on an event I just had there. I just hosted my father's retirement party in their back private space. This party went incredibly well. I had plenty of early access to set up and decorate. They made everything including booking the space and the food Very straightforward and simple. We had great service and I was very happy. I look forward to hosting more events here in future.

    Chicken in Fajitas were the size of a 1/2 size noodles. They were tasteless did you ever hear there is celantro, cumin and Coriander some garlic for seasonings. Corn tortillas came torn pasty and brittle. Rice was under seasoned. Salsa had no onions celantro etc was cheap and runny. One waitress to serve 1/2 the restaurant busy with large party drinks and food orders for 10-15 min had to go up to front desk for help and check. Columbus you deserve better. I am am sure there is better just not here!!
