    Need to up their game!! 2 bartenders didn't seem to know how to operate a bar. Food was mediocre at best. Service was subpar!

    I moved up my family a few months ago from Fort Worth, and we hadn't found a good Mexican…read morerestaurant up here so far. Me and my wife were born in San Antonio, so it's safe to say we know what good Mexican food is about. Need to start with how clean this place is. Huge points in my book for a facility having a clean environment. The server (Stephanie) was awesome, very nice, very sociable, quick to take care of the patrons. The salsa was very delicious, chips were good as well. The guac dip is something that restaurants don't seem to get sometimes, this is some good old school recipe guac dip here. I'm a sucker for fish tacos, whether it's tilapia, or cod, or even shrimp. These fish tacos were spot on, fair amount of fish, tortillas were very good, and the sauce was off to the side as I like. Love the crunch that the fried tilapia had to it, no complaints. My wife enjoyed the Tacos de Birria, and this is sometimes where people fail, with over cooking the beef. Not these, the beef was very tender, I had to sneak a piece of my wife's taco. The beans were great, the rice was great, just like back home. No question in my mind, I will bring my folks here when they come up to visit. My mom is originally from Monterrey, Mexico, and I know she would enjoy this spot. If your craving some authentic Mexican food, definitely make this a family night and enjoy the good. You can tell there is passion that goes into this food, and no doubt, we'll be coming back for more.

    I have eaten lunch here once a week for 10 years. Today my bill was $14.19. I paid with a $20…read more The waitress gave me $5 change. I asked her for the remaining 81 cents. She said "Oh, you wanted the change?" The waitress made 81 cents. The business lost $1000 a year cause I won't be back. Don't go to this restaurant. They will steal from you.

    The Columbus area is a hard area to find some good authentic Mexican food, especially to boast…read moreabout and write a review on. So far since my big move here last year, El Vaquero is my 2nd restaurant for Mexican food that I've visited. Well, my 3rd really if you count "The Local Cantina", but I really don't count that place just due to how absurd their menu is. I brought my wife to EV for lunch, and this place was very clean, which is a great plus in my book. The young lady that waited on us (Erendira), was very friendly, very quick to get us some chips and salsa, very quick to get us our drinks as well. Very good service, no question at all. The first thing I always think about when ordering Mexican food, is always my memories of back home in San Antonio. When the plates came out, I really had that sense of home. The enchilada's my wife ordered were spot on, the rice was so authentic, yet so simple. A lot of places try and spruce up spanish rice with corn and just simply call it "Tex-Mex". Not the case here, very good. The frijoles were also good, don't miss out. I ordered the flauta lunch plate, and it really hit the spot, not overly portioned, but just the right amount of food. They have a happy hour with lunch through 2p, so drop in and enjoy the discounted plates.

    I normally love El Vaquero, so was a bit disappointed when my online order wasn't ready. I had…read moreplaced it for future pickup, but it was more than 15 minutes late at pickup. When I got to the restaurant, I parked in one of their pickup spaces and texted the number. Never got a response, so had to go inside. None of the food was labeled, so that was also challenging.
