This is a nice restaurant located in a strip center, so parking isn't an issue. The restaurant was busy (Saturday evening) and we had to wait about 20 minutes to get a table. The dining facility was a little cramped around the bar area which was located on the left side of the entrance, but given the time and day that is to be expected. The interior had multiple TV's and game machines giving the restaurant more of a bar & grill feel to it versus a traditional Mexican restaurant. The cultural decor was pretty sparse, but the restaurant itself was clean and organized. After being seated our server took our drink order (water only) and brought them out quickly along with a serving of salsa and chips. The water was pretty neutral which is always nice, the chips were lightly salted, had good crunch, but didn't have much corn flavor. The salsa had a medium complexion, but was weak, tasting more of tomato than anything else. Our order took about 15 -20 minutes and was plated nicely. The grilled vegetables were very good as they had good flavor, texture and were cooked at the right temperature. The beans were also pretty good. The guacamole was firm and had decent flavor and complemented the other vegetables well. The slice of tomato served with both meals were not good as they were probably of the hot house or hydroponic variety. The enchiladas were nearly flavorless and all 3 (beef, chicken and cheese) had the same texture. The green chili sauce was slightly sour and had no real chili flavor. The cheeses used for the cheese enchilada were very mild and had very little stretch or creaminess to it. The service was very good with our server checking in just enough to not be a nuisance and show good hospitality. The portions were fair in comparison to the price so there was fair value. The food isn't going to offend many people, but I prefer Mexican fare that is spicier and more flavorful. This is a good, safe choice for families or anyone traveling through the area that wants a meal that isn't going to be too heavy or too light.

We LOVE El Vaquero, especially the Perrysburg location. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. Food is served fresh and quickly. El Vaquero is our go to Mexican restaurant in the greater Toledo area. We have dined at El Vaquero on regular basis for 10 years! Naturally we have our favorites but also venture into trying new items from time to time, regardless of what we choose we always leave full and happy! If you haven’t stopped in yet we highly recommend you check it out!
