Ugh what a disappointing DoorDash experience. I normally order from the Vaquero on Riverside because they never disappoint. So I feel bad for going with this location. Our Sunday usual is tacos and margaritas. These tacos were good but the rice was lackluster. No beans, no pico, no lettuce. The chips were cold and hard. Margaritas had no tequila. It was basically just frozen mix. Fortunately we had some at home to add but that wasn't what I paid for... $12.50 x 3 for mix is extremely steep. I guess I'll never order from here again. Lesson learned albeit the hard way

This restaurant was pretty dirty and the service was quite slow. We only saw our waitress to take the drink and bring the check at the end. The food was fine, but a little cold, definitely the worst of the el vaquero locations I've visited.

I've always had a good experience here. I order the exact same thing every single time. Chicken enchiladas verdes with rice and beans and sometimes an al pastor taco. It's always fast and perfect for lunch. One time my to go order took forever but most of the time, it's ready when I get there and of course eating in, the food comes out very fast. The food is always good.

Really amazing interior, beautiful and bright. Service was excellent, fast and friendly. The food came out quickly and was hot and delicious. This is, in my opinion, the best El Vaquero and right now the closest one to us so it will be getting a lot of business from is. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This is seriously the only place in the 25 years of my life that has sent me to the emergency room. If you value your health DO NOT EAT AT EL VAQUERO. My fiancé and I just spent 7 hours in the hospital getting fluids and medicine because of the severe food poisoning we had received. Unfortunately on her 25th birthday as well. I truly would like to warn anyone to avoid this place at all cost. We believe it was the rice or queso (the only things we both consumed other than chips) SEVERE FOOD POISONING ALERT DO NOT GO HERE.

No es bueno!Extremely rude staff! Their communication was by hand signals with no eye contact. I wasn't even sure they were trying to communicate with me.Food is over salty and full of grease. Lots of lard. Skip this place and spend your money elsewhere. Somewhere where they will at least speak to you with sounds out their mouth and you can eat more than a couple bites because the salt is not rubbing the inside of your mouth raw!!

The food used to be good here and the servers had a good grasp of the English language but that is NO longer the case! The food is average, not a SINGLE server spoke English. We probably won't come back for awhile. I would also think that they don't have to hire any caucasians??? Food was delayed and cold. My husband ordered a burrito and it was definitely an enchilada. Disappointing because we liked the place, but it has gone down hill.

Had a pickup lunch order with one item correct out of five on the order. Both quesadilla orders were missing the black beans, the enchiladas Suizas were missing the refried beans, and the chimichangas were completely missed in the order. I had to go back (10 minutes each way) and the manager said that they couldn't provide any compensation for the trouble this caused. They remade the missing items and I ended up having a cold lunch by the time I got home. They blamed a new computer system and told me that I could accept the remade order or leave the restaurant because "they were busy". When they remade the order with the missing items, they missed the refried beans again which I caught by checking it in the restaurant. Cold food and a lousy customer service experience - don't recommend them.

We came in w 7 tonight. The survive was awful. Waitress kept looking the other way when walking by. Items for dinner were missed, food this time was very average at best. This restaurant needs to go to your Shawnee Hills restaurant and take some serious training lessons because that place is always fantastic.
