★★★★★ 5.0 Alan Boehm · Dec 2025

Not a fancy place, a just right casual place. We really enjoyed it. Our server checked is appropriately. The food was good. One taco salad, two seafood entrees and one chicken enchilada. We did not have dessert but did have beer. See the photos for the quality of the atmosphere. We will go back.

Food was delicious! Service was fast and friendly! And the atmosphere was great. You could take the family there, go on date night or eat alone and enjoy yourself! Personally I would have liked more avocado on top but then again I love avocado!

El Vaquero West is one of those rare gems that gets everything right — flavor, atmosphere, service, and value. From the moment you arrive, the welcoming staff make you feel right at home. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t just serve a meal — it offers an enjoyable dining experience. The fajitas are a standout and definitely worth the recommendation. They come well-seasoned and full of flavor, with your choice of meat, sautéed onions, and peppers, plus tortillas on the side. The portion sizes are impressive — perfect for sharing or saving for later. Another great thing about El Vaquero West is the value. The prices are fair, especially considering the amount of food you receive and the quality of each dish. You definitely get your money’s worth here. The service is top-notch. The staff

★★★★☆ 4.0 Scott Schuster · Feb 2026

Generally this place is quite good. Came here once before with a big party and it was great. Last time though, party of 6, tight table in a small corner, little room to move, one of our guests did not like what they ordered but we were not able to send it back? Also, the waitress disappeared halfway through the meal, had to pay the check with the manager. Otherwise my tacos were good !

I appreciate they don’t use the toxic black plastic to-go containers but paper cartons. My family and I have been enjoying take out from here for years but haven’t dined in since 2020. We enjoyed a Friday night dinner here and the service was fantastic, margaritas perfect and made exactly as requested, and food good.
