El Vaquero

Great Mexican restaurant, all the classics, and the kids menu nuggets and fries are great for picky eaters

Shrimp rellena quesadilla was tasty.

LOVE the food. Love the service. The prices are way cheaper than Cancun Mexican Grill on the other side of town. I absolutely love their chips and salsa and wish that they were unlimited. But it does make sense from a business perspective. That is why the overall dinner price is cheaper than at other restaurants. I am not hungry when leaving. Great portions. Fast service.

Really great spot to grab some south of the border grub! Highly recommend, the prices are great!

El Vaquero has been in Alma for a couple of decades. The family that runs it is very friendly. The food is one of the worst Mexican food offerings in Gratiot and Isabella Counties. Service is fast and prompt. The meals are small. Plates are filled with lettuce and rice to make them look full. Overall bland taste. The restaurant bought an old laundry mat and slapped some tables and chairs down. The decor hasn't changed much from the first week they were open over 2 decades ago. Grimace everytime you walk in. Yikes. Do not recommend.

We get take out orders and usually are pretty good but the one last night they forget to put the tortillas in the order of fajitas and when we call today all they want to do is give us some tortillas for driving back 30 minutes after ruining our dinner from the night before

The nicest people in the world making the best Mexican food in Alma. I've been coming here for 15 years, making a point to stop by whenever I'm in town visiting family. Can't recommend enough!
