  By far the best El Vaquero out of all them. The owners here take pride in the business and treat everyone with respect. The rest should follow what is here at this location. Great People!

  Food tasted great! The text alerts were fast and helpful. Delivery was super fast. Brian, the driver, was great! He delivered fast. Food was still hot. Everything was perfect.

  Friendly service and always busy. Newer menu it seems. I got the Birria because I love Birria. Came with a guac salad (basically a bed of lettuce with a small scoop of guac and diced tomatoes with some sour cream) and a small little cup of consommé. Birria was double wrapped with small street sized corn tortillas but we’re not really crispy. Usually you have a nice char that crisps up on the grill. No where near the amount of meat compared to other Birria places in town. The consommé however was flavorful and very good, just wish there was more of it. Probably won’t order again.

  The NEW Torta was terrible! I had a Torta at a competitor a couple of months back and thought it was amazing so I was excited to see it on the menu. Do not order it! There wasn't enough meat or toppings to balance out the bread. We used to love El Vaquero, but now it is meh.

  I placed an almost $100 takeout order with this restaurant. I waited 30 minutes beyond what the pickup time was for this order. When I finally received the food, the chicken was so tough that you couldn’t even bite into it. It tasted like it had been pulled out of the freezer and put straight onto the grill. Overall horrible quality. The steak did not taste like steak, but tasted like shrimp as if it had been marinated alongside shrimp? When I brought this issue to the attention of the manager, he argued with me saying it was “one of the freshest orders” he had ever put out. When I asked for a refund he blatantly told me he would not give me the refund, and did so in a very unprofessional manner. He said “yeah, no I’m not going to give you the refund”. He eventually did give me $20 refund, a small fraction of what I paid for a bad order. The refund was not my biggest concern, it was the unprofessional and arrogant attitude of the “manager”. Poor customer service skills. My family and I have been going to this restaurant for over a decade, and I have always enjoyed it without any issue. After this experience, I will never be back. This place has gone way downhill.
