Vaqueros

Went in today for lunch after passing this place several times - you can see it from Powers but you pass it once you've seen it & unless you're looking for it - you've passed it. Anyway, the food was good, the service was also really good. Very neat & clean inside and the patrons look like regulars- All good things. Prices are kinda high so come prepared. But the portions are generous so you will have something for later.

I invited my family to Vaqueros for lunch since I'd eaten here before and wanted to share the experience. The restaurant has ample parking and we were seated right away. Inside, the atmosphere is colorful and welcoming. The service, however, was slow. We waited a while before anyone assisted us but our server was okay once he arrived. We ordered one of the large combinations and a molcajete. I've had their molcajete before and liked it but this time it was disappointing. The flavors leaned a bit too sweet for our taste. The portions were good for the price, but overall, the flavors were just okay--nothing memorable. Unfortunately, one incident really soured the visit. When I politely asked for extra salsa verde, a man (not our server but possibly a manager, though he wasn't in uniform) assisted me but came across as rude. I value respect and good service so this interaction was somewhat disappointing. Additionally, pico de gallo comes with an extra charge if you ask for more, even though the initial portion is quite small- a detail our server failed to mention.With all of this in mind, I don't think we'll be returning after this visit.

I'm glad that they provide vegetarian and vegan options here. I got the vegetarian burrito with guacamole and they added potatoes like I asked, it was good and filling. I also like that they do not serve food with lard and everything is vegetarian friendly. Portions were pretty good and the service was very accommodating and waitress was sweet. Would I come here again? Quite possibly. The food was good quality, good portions, good service, liked that they had multiple burritos to choose from their menu, I'm a burrito lover.

New go to Mexican restaurant! We've been going to the same Mexican restaurant for some time & we were looking for something new. I decided to look at 2024 Best of Springs 2024 & Vaqueros was gold , so we decided to give them a go!!We were seated very quickly & the atmosphere was fabulous. There was good music, beautiful decor & polite staff. Our waitress arrived soon after we were seated, took our drink & appetizer order which was nice. We ordered the Vaqueros Nachos, Carne Asada Street Tacos & the 3 Enchiladas Lg Combination. Our appetizer arrived & it looked spectacular!! I was impressed that the toppings were throughout the chips, not all on top, with a ton of plain chips underneath. Our food followed & I don't have words for how delicious our meals were. The portions were significant & the flavor hit every "mark" I had. My husband said the enchiladas were the best he has had here in the Springs!Overall the entire experience was on point & exceeded my expectations. I would probably eat here every day if I could!!! The staff, atmosphere & food made this our New Mexican food destination!! Keep it up!!!

Extremely slow service. Sitting here with empty drinks and plenty of time to write this review... no clue where our waitress went. Walked to the restroom and can see every table in the room also has empty glasses on their table. Looks like everyone is just looking around the room for their servers. If you have all the time in the world and plenty of patience, you might be able to stand the place. Food is okay.

I've only ever gotten the three tacos al pastor plate (I've visited four times over the past year). *Five stars for the tacos al pastor* Also, free chips and salsa!!!! Wooooo!The service has always been pleasant. It's a casual, sit-down place. I'll be back in a month or two. Maybe I'll try a dessert next visit.

We went to Vaqueros on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant wasn't busy and was pretty quiet. We were seated immediately, served chips, and I had to ask if we were assigned a server as no one came to take our orders. We never received drink refills and the waiter didn't check on us. When it was time to pay, I had to go to the hostess stand and ask for the waiter to bring boxes and the check. The food was good, but I couldn't recommend based on being ignored throughout the majority of our dining experience.

Went today for lunch, the food was amazing!! Our server Jose P (as per the receipt) was awesome. Service was fast and the atmosphere was great! I would definitely come back!

The service was great! I had a combination plate and it came with a Chili Rellenno. It was disappointing, it seemed like only a half a chili was used. I've gone here before and the Chili Rellenno was better.

20% upcharge for takeout. They don't tell you this on the phone but its evident when you pay the bill when picking up your food.
