El Vaquero Authentic Mexican Restaurant

Ok but !

This place WAS GREAT before, but that has ABSOLUTELY changed since this new management took over. They've raised prices on absolutely everything, and some of them are very disrespectful. Tonight, I got 5 street tacos for $9.99 (which are EXACTLY the size of ghetto taco food truck tacos) I also added a small queso as she was putting in my order because I asked the lady did any queso come on the street tacos and she said no. ANYWHERE in this town, a small quesos is only $2.99, but they charged me $5.98 for ONE SMALL QUESO! I only ordered ONE. When I asked to see the menu to double check the price before paying, she said "well it isn't on there, only our large for $8.99 is on there." Then looked at me and said "sorry that's our prices." I then asked to speak with the manager. Once she came over, she told me that was the price, and I told her that they were clearly making their own prices. As I had the menu in my hand, I plopped the menu onto the table and said "well that's ridiculous you can take one of these off" The manager then replied back to me "do not throw things at me, or I will call the cops" At that point I was completely blown away and puzzled because I definitely did not throw anything at her. I was completely baffled that someone would even say something like that. I told her that if she needed to, she could call the cops and roll the cameras. Then I proceeded to ask if they were going to call or allow me to pay so that I could leave. That's when she continued her attitude and asked me to leave. So I left. I will NEVER return here again! This ladies behavior was so uncalled for and so unprofessional.

Pretty bland. Runny refried beans. I've had way better

Lots of good food

Great food, the service was excellent!! Brought hot chip’s immediately and they have awesome margaritas Will definitely come back❤️

We reserved a room for a Birthday party. We had 18 people that were in attendance. They assigned 1 waiter for us. He was also waiting on tables for the entire restaurant and I saw him in the kitchen on the grill. Waited forever to get our dinner order in and almost nobody get their drinks refilled. We had to go in the back and refill our own drinks or we wouldn't get them filled. The food orders were all messed up. My friend ordered the nachos and when he finally got them he noticed they had carrots on them. One of our friends never even received his dinner order. If you don't have the staff available they should not be booking events that were scheduled in advance. Our waiter was overwhelmed but he tried his hardest. He really needed help.

0 stars for this place. Took us 45 mins to get our food. We got it to go. Only half of the container was full of food so definitely not what we paid for. Chips were stale. The workers acted like there was nothing wrong with us waiting that long. Not to mention they weren’t even close to being busy either. Not coming back
