El Vaquero

One of my fave places to go to. Love the frozen margaritas and the food. Giving them four stars because the service is kind of slow. But overall I love coming here, very affordable.

This was my very first Southern Mexican food experience. I have heard plenty about chile con queso when I was in Los Angeles, and interestingly, no one can describe exactly what it is. I was intrigued. Last night, my curiosity was fulfilled. Casa Vaqueros is a nice little establishment in the suburb near Sugar Land. The parking lot was packed even on a Tuesday evening. The interior is nice, clean, warm and welcome. We were greeted right away, and seated quickly. Food came out in timely manner, simple and fresh. My queso is yum, it is a great cheesy twist on tortilla chip. I enjoyed it more than I anticipated. The beef taco is very different from what I was accustomed to, it was not heavily seasoned. It is shredded, light, and fluffy, topped with pico de gallo and fresh salsa, ummm, hmmm good.I would say I have enjoyed the dessert more than I should, the light taste of Baileys Irish cream, the layer of cream cheese lightly sweetened, and a hint of chocolate syrup with whipped cream, I would be in heaven if I could also have a cup of hot black coffee to go with it. Would definitely recommend!

Very good. Sat outside on the patio waiters wore masks. Love traditional dishes. Guacamole very good. Chips are addicting!

This is my second time coming to vaqueros and it will hopefully will not be my last! After getting in late from Dallas my friend and I decided to order take out instead of sitting in. We checked out their extensive menu online, which was full of various tacos, burritos, fajitas, quesadillas, appetizers, and more. I was torn between their chicken el carbon tacos and nachos. The taco platter came with three tacos and rice and beans. The nachos came with grilled chicken, onions, beans, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. They had a half and full order, so after a lot of thought I decided to order the nachos.I called the order in and the total for my nachos and my friends order of a half appetizer was just $19.99! When we arrived our order was already waiting for us! I decided to order one of their famous margaritas while the game was still on. It surprised me how light in color the margarita was, but was super strong in flavor! The alcohol did not hit me until a few minutes later, so I am so glad I was not driving. A couple of those and you are good!!When we arrived home unfortuantely my food was a little cold, but it was still delicious! I love that both of our entrees came with a big bag of chips and their salsa! Sooo delicious! I definitely recommend el vaqueros for their delcious food!

Sadly I have to make this review but one of my favorite go to's is a never go again. The food was nicer the highlight of the place but the service atmosphere and the margaritas made up for it. However my last two visits have sealed the deal for me and after reading other reviews I see this is the case with other regulars. We always order the margarita especial(special) which is the house margarita with a shot of grand marnier. However they don't use grand marnier but a cheaper brand called grand gala. At first this wasn't so bad but over time it tasted more like medicine or cough syrup. No problem. I would special request the actual grand marnier. No problem much better. On this last visit, same story but when they brought out the version with the grand marnier it tasted the same as the previous grand gala drink. The waiter insisted it was grand marnier and I explained I'm pretty sure it wasn't since I tend to enjoy it quite often as a compliment or just straight. I asked that he remove the drink from my bill as I wasn't going to drink it and he said he would send over a manager who never came and the waiter explained he's not coming and there's nothing he could do. I couldn't believe the disrespect and dismissal after the countless visits and as many groups as I've brought in before. I've always tipped generously and never had any major issues that weren't corrected without incident but these last two visits were very similar in lack quality and service. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning with so many more new options. It won't be hard for me to pass this place by. I ordered one margarita and spinach and chicken quesadillas only to pay a bill that was a waste of money. I still had a full drink by the time I paid my bill.

Wow! We were in the area for a soccer game and yelp sent us here. So delicious! The queso was perfect. Chicken nachos huge and delicious. Cheese enchiladas some of the best ever. I took home leftovers and my kids asked to go back. If and when we are in the area we will be back!

My gf took me here a couple of months ago because she likes it there. Her friends do too. I was hesitant because of some of the negative reviews. Boy, were they wrong! The service was friendly, fast, and excellent. The food came out quickly even though there was a lunch rush. Everything was delicious! The price and parking were great. we will be heading back there soon!

Went around lunch time today , sat on the empty patio. Took 15 mins to get drink order taken and the lady couldn't do our food. Drinks were wrong when they came and we were halfway thru our drinks before we could order. Food was disgusting. I ordered chicken tacos and it looked like boiled chicken thrown in the tortillas and soooo very bland. My husbands ground beef tacos also lacked seasoning. Waited forever to get check, had to go to the front to get my card and they still hadn't ran my card when I was up there. $40 for a trash lunch for 2. Won't ever be back.

This restaurant has been here for years and I'm just now getting around to enjoy it. It's one of my dear friends favorite spots so I joined her for dinner. I'm glad I did. Food was really good, service was great and the company was even better.

This place is amazing! If you are reading this you definitely need to come and enjoys some of the best Tex-mex food in the Houston area.There's no other place sucks as casa vaqueros and the experience is truly like no other. I consider my self and my family regulars here at this location. Couldn't think of a better place to spend time with family or friends and enjoys great food amongst a very friendly and comforting environment. We have gone to this to this location forever and the owners even gave my dad a Christmas gift to show thanks for our loyalty and that showed they truly do care about their costumer service. From the mangers down to the host everyone has treated us with plenty of respect and hospitality. My and my family have been going every Thursday night for as long as I remember. This is by far my favorite place to eat, not only Tex-mex but just in general. I have been coming to Casa Vaquero well before they changed the named from El Vaquero and this place has been very important and special place for me and my family. I have celebrated many family and friends events and every time there has been no complaints. I'll start off by saying there is no place that gives you better offer of food at very reasonable price. If your of age me and my family claim they have the best frozen margaritas around and are a table at their restaurant. With that being said this is great place to bring the family as through my experience it is very welcoming and not too noisy and you can easily enjoy your time with your friends or family peacefully. The service definitely could speed up but I rather the food be hot rather than it being rushed. As mentioned I have had many of the servers their wait on me and the food is always done right and we are taken care of throughly through out the tile we are there. Not only is my family fond of this place but this is most certainly the most talked about restaurant's between my circle of friends. It was a tradition for me and my bare all team to eat there before baseball games in high school and casa vaqueros has always left me satisfied with my experience. I will continue to par take in my weekly ordering from casa vaqueros as long as I'm in the Houston area. This place holds specially memories for me and my family and I'm very grateful for the staff and ownership for the work they have done. They have have been a very special place not only for me but for the community as well and encourage them to keep doing the great work that they do. I will always mention casa vaqueros to people who are not aware of this establishment and of course will continue to eat here myself.
