I was thoroughly impressed. The food tasted very authentic, nothing like I’ve had in the past. Their was a language barrier, but I’m not into all that. We figured it out and the food was amazing. I recommend the barria tacos…

We went here twice on our visit to Richmond, the food was excellent and the prices are reasonable.

As a black guy…I went in to face SO MANY STARES!
From the time I walked in it was obvious that I was not welcome there. The waitresses made that known by the looks on their faces…they seemed very apprehensive while speaking to me.
I asked the 1st 2 waitresses at the door if they made SHRIMP burritos. They told me no but did have beef and chicken. Moments later another woman appeared and asked me what I wanted then told me that they DID have shrimp!
She then told the 1st one to make my order as I asked (both shrimp and steak) burrito.
When It came the bag was light…..so I had the feeling there wasn’t much in it.
The meat was VERY SALTY!
Not much flavorful
VERY few shrimp…..(I finally found some toward the last half of the burrito). Just a lot of salty ground beef!
Shrimp WAYYY to over cooked! (and a bad taste)
The cheese used was off….(might have been American….sliced! )
They give you very little condiments (picture) very shallow tubs of condiments.
The decorum was nice. The place was loud and lively but…..
I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone…..(especially if you are black)!

I ordered my food one hour ago.
Got here, I am told food is still not ready.
There is only 2 people dining in, so what’s the issue? Was my order never put in or what?
Food is good, but this was a bad experience today .

They have some of the best gorditas I’ve tried, tacos are great too. Wish I spoke Spanish but you’ll be fine if you have patience. Would recommend if you like authentic food

Not a bad spot for a meal. Spruce isn’t to bad but you should ask. Pool table and some slots are a plus.

The food! No doubt this place prefers Hispanic people over non Hispanic, The waitress who didn’t speak English wouldn’t even make eye contact with me as she brought the check. The other waitress spoke excellent English, and was warm and polite. Normally this would ding at least three stars. Add flickering florescent lights, no music, a shabby bar room, slow service, you got a recipe for disaster. The recipe for the chicharrone tacos and salsa verde TOTALLY ( well, mostly, hence 4 star) redeemed El Vaquero. The salsa was great, not typical standard Midlothian Mexican style, rather authentic, like the workers used to make at my aunts farm in SC. The rice was also different, but great! This isn’t the typical steam table Mexican joint, after tasting the food, soaking up the total Mexican market vibe, you almost feel like outside are horses and a dirt street, not a parking lot and Bojangles. I may not go here again due to the clear preference for non whites, I’ve had that experience before on Southside. They basically ignore you until you leave. I get it too, it’s awkward when you can’t communicate with a customer. It would take a afternoon to learn “hello, this way, what would you like”, etc. I wish the non English speaking waitresses would at the very least address me in Spanish if that’s all they know, I’ve fumbled through enough foreign restaurant menus to understand a smile and a menu.
