We dined in tonight after we attempted to eat elsewhere and not receiving service. We should have come here first! In less than one minute after walking through the door, we were seated, had chips, salsa, drinks and even the queso we ordered! Our server Julieth was wonderful! We had refills before we knew we even needed them! Great place, great food!!!!

Our family has been coming to El Vaquero’s for years now. This is an authentic family-owned restaurant goes above & beyond!! The food is always amazing! My favorite is the #153 yukatan and it never disappoints. I recommend this place to everyone and anyone!

The food was mediocre. The bill was outrageous. There was a communication barrier so, trying to go over our bill with the waiter was a nightmare.
We ordered a pitcher of margaritas. It was approximat $26 bucks and that’s made with cheap house tequila (*I’ve never seen that brand before.) The margarita was really weak so we ordered extra shots to mix in. When we received our bill, they charged us another $26 bucks for another pitcher that we didn’t order. Supposedly, because we asked for extra shots and each poured the first initial glass out of the pitcher and they felt they had to top off our pitcher. Then, they took it upon themselves to sell us extra shots of Patron. So, they used a top shelf tequila without asking us what we preferred.
Then they charged us another random $10 dollars for Patron shots.
I can’t even.
That pitcher of margaritas ended up costing us approximately $60 dollars. No joke our bill was well over $100.00 bucks.
Never, never, never going back to this place.

What happened? This place used to be great but today was awful. Plenty of tables but they didn’t seat us for 10 minutes. After we ordered the food came out 1 at a time. My husband had to ask for his tortillas 3 times so he could eat his food. Shouldn’t have to ask for a drink refill but we did. No napkins. Flavorless food. Staff running around like crazy. And the best part of all, the waitress came to take our plates and thought she could carry them all and dumped salsa all over my husband. He was covered. We gave this place rave reviews to our son and his gf and they didn’t have a good experience. Very disappointed.

Literally the Best Mexican food I’ve ever had! Everything was fresh and the portion size was huge. The steak fajitas nachos were to die for. The chimichanga was really good and the beans and rice it came with were definitely not dry and very tasty. For dessert, the honey on the sopaipilla was the perfect touch. Honestly though, it was the salsa that stole the show for me, lots of onion and garlic.
If I had to say anything, it would be the prices, they were a little expensive.

Some of the best mexican food I’ve had in Michigan. I come here every week for company lunch. Kind servers, incredibly fast service, good food. Sometimes the chips won’t be fresh, but they always taste good regardless. My favourite is the tacos al pastor, but everything here is great!
Amazing atmosphere, the inside is a little packed but has some nice architecture.

This was the worst experience that I ever had. I’m an African American woman who decided to come and get a good meal. I sat for over 30 minutes and my waiter never acknowledged me. I sat and sat. When he did come over he said oh I thought you wanted to be left alone. I said no, and that I deserve the same respect as the customers. He said oh I will know for the next time. I left crying, and I’m still sitting in my car. I feel so hurt and disrespected. This use to be one of my favorites, I will never come back.

We just moved to the area and are trying out all the local restaurants. This was our first stop and it did not disappoint. This place has yummy horchata and they even have a strawberry horchata which I’ll be trying next. Our burrito and birria tacos were great and great portion size for the price. We’ll definitely be back!
