Shrimp tacos
Kirby H.

Great food, spotty service tonight. Wife loved the shrimp tacos, fajitas were flavorful. Chimichangas could have used a little more queso on top. Guacamole was awesome!

El Pastor tacos.

I have eaten at El Vaquero for 20 years and I'm never dissatisfied with the food or service. Today I took advantage of their $2 El Pastor tacos on Mondays special. It was ridiculously good. Food came out quick and was hot and spicy. The side of tomatillos salads was really nice too. The location in Delaware is a little hard to get into as it's nestled behind McDonald's and the Pacer Inn, but it's easy once you know where it's at Friggin delicious!!

Chipotle chicken

I have been going to this restaurant for what seems like my whole life. Without fail the food is fast and delicious and the service is always exceptional. Our server last night was so extremely polite and attentive. The chipotle chicken is a classic dish for this restaurant so I had to try it and it was wonderful. The bean dip is also a classic which was great. We also got a pitcher of their frozen margarita which was great and not too sweet. They have plenty of parking available and they have an awesome patio. This is a Delaware staple!

Good food, good price. Service is always quick but very rarely are they happy to see you.

This restaurant seems to have lost some quality over the past couple years. There are better Mexican options in town.

Our favorite in Delaware. Great food, reasonable price and service is good. It helps if you can speak Spanish.

This place is new, might not be around long. Went for lunch on a Saturday. Very limited seating but…read morewe sat right down. Got drinks & an order of chips and salsa since it's not included like most Mexican restaurants. We left after 30 minutes when they still had not taken our order or checked back! Watched the waitresses at the grill window trying to get all the orders fixed. We never got food, we won't be going back! Update 1-16-26. Decided to give this another try, was close & in the mood for Mexican. It wasn't busy, 1 other table seated. Walked in & sat myself, looked over the menu while I waited for staff...and waited...and waited...and waited. Aaaand waaaaited!!! Seriously, nobody else there and after 5 minutes hadn't even been greeted much less served. The service here is terrible!!!

Came in hungry, left full and with salsa on my shirt -- which is how you know the tacos were worth…read moreit. I tried a Steak Street Taco, a Shrimp Baja Taco, and a Ground Beef Taco. All three had flavor, personality, and just enough mess to prove they don't skimp on the good stuff. (If your taco doesn't drip, did you even taco?) For dessert, I went all in with the Cheesecake Chimi. Imagine cheesecake got invited to a cinnamon-sugar carnival and decided never to leave. Crunchy, sweet, and dangerously addictive. The service was fast, the place was clean, and my only regret is that I didn't order extra napkins up front. Verdict: Come for the tacos, stay for the chimi, and wear a shirt you're not afraid to baptize in salsa.
