    TINY Chimichanga
    Candice T.

    Upon walking through the door, the music was turned off, which made us feel unwelcome right off the bat. Along with the AC being shut off, it was rather stuffy, but we were starving and thought we could tough it out. We received chips and salsa, and the salsa was extremely watered down. I ordered a large house. Margarita on the rocks, and ask for extra limes ( received lemons ) and the goblet had just come out of the dishwasher so my ice started melting but what really got me was it tasted like pure margarita mix, and so sugary it was almost undrinkable. They used to have good margaritas here so I don't know what happened. Our food came out rather quick however, I noticed the chimichanga I always order was much smaller, it was more like I got the lunch portion. The entire visit felt unwelcoming and extremely rushed to close up for the evening. As there are many Mexican restaurants out there, I definitely will not be revisiting.

    Located in the same Plaza as Kroger this Mexican restaurant always delivers a nice meal that doesnt break the bank. The service here has been really good in the three or four times we have stopped in and today was no exception. The decor is your stereo typical mexican carved/loudly painted decor (not my favorite) but the booths are well kept and you actively see people cleaning tables after turnovers. Which is always appreciated. The server brought complementary chips and salsa and we quickly ordered a bunch of al a cart items. I got a side of refried beans a a mini chicken chimichanga and the hubby ordered a chili relleno, enchilada and tamale. All together it came to $21. Everything was excellent and we left quite full. I have to say the mini chimichanga isnt small at all its really packed with chicken and large chunks of pepper and tomato inside. Delicious!

    Yuck! Triple whammy. Decided to stop by here for queso and margaritas with friends. Back to back weird and gross occurrences will keep us from returning. We sat down and were welcomed with chips, salsa, and bowls. We each grabbed a bowl and realized the bowls underneath the top bowl were dirty. And not just a speck of something dirty...they were full on covered with old queso. We flagged down our server and requested clean bowls and ordered some margaritas. After that, I went to the restroom to wash my hands. Before locking the door, a male employee barges into the women's restroom? After seeing me, he turned and closed the door behind him. After washing my hands, I returned to my table and was greeted by clean bowls and a delicious margarita. My friends and I decided to dig into the queso and began enjoying ourselves, until we got about 1/2 way through the queso and found a hair mixed in.

    Burrito Vallarta lunch special
    Mark K.

    I'm sure I've already reviewed this. Yelp is weird sometimes. Anyway, fairly small, typical Ohio Tex-Mex restaurant. Bright furniture, a bit dark inside. Big menu. Bland combinations of meat, rice, beans, tortillas. I got the burrito Vallarta lunch special. A smothered burrito, with ground beef. Sided with typical beans and rice, topped with iceberg lettuce. It was fine, but not very flavorful. The chips and salsa they serve you are good, and I added some guacamole which was fresh but unspectacular. Service was good. Prices are good.

    a table full of mexican food

    Yummy cheese dip with pico and yummy fajitas! What more could you ask for? Got the double portion and it was more than enough for both my husband and I to share and have leftovers. Fajitas come with tortillas, guac and sour cream. Will be back again soon.

    Excellent service. The food is great, and the restaurant is not too loud. Plus, it feels good to support a small local business!

    I was reading the comments about this specific El Vaquero, and I honestly don't think the reviews…read moredo it justice. My wife, kids, and I eat here about once a week, and the food and customer service have always been great. I will say that the quality of service can vary depending on which server you get, but overall, we've had great experiences. The environment is quiet and clean, and that also extends to the restrooms, at least from the men's side of things. That being said, this does not apply to every El Vaquero location. The one in Delaware, Ohio, will never get our business again. At the end of the day, it really depends on how picky you are and what kind of experience you expect. Give this location a try and enjoy the food. Don't be afraid to ask for something to be made or prepared a specific way. That's part of the customer experience, and they've always been accommodating with us.

    Why did we go eat at a Mexican restaurant on Cinco de Mayo? Note to self: Stay home next Cinco de…read moreMayo! Restaurant was overly busy, we had to wait soooo long to be seated and the food took a long time to come out as well. The place was so busy! Busy is an understatement, it was jammed packed! My husband dropped me off to go put my name in because there was no parking. It was raining too; which made everyone crowd inside with no where to stand without impeding the staff. There were at least 6-10 people just standing around by the door and it was a very hectic scene! The phone rang non stop and there were 3 employees talking to 3 different people. This poor girl behind the counter looked like she wanted to quit her job and run out the door. I waited patiently watching the loud chaos unfold and had to finally get someone's attention to put my name in after 10 minutes. A very rude and tall lady who cut in front of everyone was going on and on about a specific waitress she wanted to serve a group. She kept talking and explaining how she wanted her dinning experience to be as if there was no one in line waiting. Everyone was gaving her a mean look, annoyed at her privileged behavior. After she was done, I asked how long was the wait and someone finally gave me an iPad where I was able to put in my name and phone number so they can text me when it my table was available. I was told the wait time was 40-45 minutes. We left and hurried back after 45 minutes. Once again, the place was packed. I was in the same chaotic predicament: pressed up against someone by the front door trying to get to the front; to talk to a staff. I tried to get someone's attention, anyone, and the employees were busy behind the counter, ignoring me. Finally, I asked in my loudest voice "how much longer is the wait?" She asked me my name and said I had 4 people ahead of me, it would have been 6 but 2 left and did not come back. I was floored! 4 parties ahead of me ??? That could mean an hour!!! I decided to patiently wait except It felt so crowded. There was a very large man standing by the door who blocked the whole door. There was really no where to stand and the fact that it was raining made it worse. There was a tent with a few tables they put up that took up 2 parking spots. I'm guessing it's for extra seating. We stood under the tent but it was also crowded and we were still in the way. I felt very claustrophobic! I was thinking in my head " I should have ordered to go", just then a gentleman who was waiting next to me asked how much longer was his to go order. He has waited over 30 mns. That squashed my previous thought completely! After 15 mns. They finally called my name! Yes!!! Thank goodness! We put I. Our order asap. I ordered a cheese dip and I got my usual "pollo à la diabla", and a margarita to drink; my son had pollo chimichangas with a horchata and my husband ordered what I got except he added watermelon flavor to his marg. The food was good. We asked for the secret spicy salsa from the back. The first time we asked the young chip guy and he said that this was the spicy salsa. It was zero inch spicy! We asked the waitress and she brought it out for us. It's very spicy and we love it! It has a smoky peppery taste. Our cheese dip was a bit runny. The pollo à la diabla is always a good solid choice. It wasn't as spicy as usual but still my favorite. My husband ordered a second watermelon margarita and it came out with a cute strawberry and sugar rim. Presentation was on point. It was just way too sweet and undrinkable. We had to send it back. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. She gave us keychains and my son got a juice box. That was a cute complimentary gift. I gave it 3 stars for the wait and chaos! They need to prepare better next year for a big crowd and a big waiting space: maybe a larger tent with free chips and salsa for the drinking patrons. People who want to come out to celebrate Cinco de Mayo shouldn't have to suffer and have a terrible dinning experience. There's got to be a solution to the craziness because this restaurant is always a 5 star. Well, lesson learned: I will probably not go out on Cinco de Mayo again. It's too crazy and chaotic. I can make tacos and margaritas at home.
