It was our first time trying this place. I placed the order over the phone. The food was ready when I got there. The food stayed hot until I drove to my fiance's work to eat with him. And the presentation is great. The rice was rice but the beans had so much flavor. He got the green chilaquiles sunnyside up egg with chicken, I got the huevos rancheros with red sauce and HOMEMADE tortillas. Let me tell you though that these tortillas were everything. The entrees came with chips and salsa and the salsa had a good flavor. His chilaquiles were good, the green sauce was definitely better than the my red sauce on the huevos. My red sauce was more sour than anything but it had a good mouth feel.

Great food. I ordered a "SHREDDED BEEF WET BURRITO". Came smothered in CHEESE and SAUCE with a side of GUACAMOLE and SOUR CREAM. The fountain drink machine was DOWN, However, Vaqueros has a beverage cabinet. I chose a large bottle of Coca-Cola. A small Coca-Cola would have done the job with the amount of food. They also have a large flat-screen TV playing music videos. The format there is self-service. You walk up to the counter to order your food. When you're done take your plate over to the trash & scrape off your plate and put it in a bin sitting on top of the trash can cabinet. Feedback: I prefer Fountain drinks. Cabinet beverages are traditionally more expensive. Everything for around $21 I highly recommend you want to have a nice lunch Vaquero is the place to go. Kenneth ^

Al Pastor burrito was amazing, salsa is phenomenal... Cannot recommended enough (at least this item). Prices are a little higher then expected, but the beer is cheaper, so I guess it evened out..

Their beef soup is plentiful, not short of any meat or vegetables. Everything is very tasty! I like the Horchata too!

This mexican grill is all you need for a saturday lunch. They have almost everything on the menu and prices are fair. Enchilads were extremely tasty and the goat birria had nice broth to it. The goat was but chewy but i think it was just the fat part. Micheladas were shockingly good and i am going to be back here for that. Service is pretty friendly and quick . I would recommend this place.

Review is for a pick up of menudo I was craving! Anyway, it's been raining in LA and I just wanted menudo for lunch. I wasn't going to do DoorDash delivery a for a single order. I decided to see if I could do pick-up instead through the app. I noticed the menudo wasn't on the menu on DoorDash app, so I called and confirmed they still served menudo. It's my 4th time coming here for menudo and it's delicious! I also tried their pork tacos. To my surprise, their popular pork taco is Filipino Chicharron as a taco! If you're looking for menudo and don't want to drive to LA, this place hit the spot. Also, for a temporary price, menudo is 10.99 from Monday to Friday, I think from 9am to 4pm! I can't speak for their burritos or nachos, but the menudo is on point though. Their service could be a bit warmer and more often than not, their service is hit or miss.

This was my first time here and even though we showed up a bit late, the waiter who helped us was really nice and patient. The place was clean and quiet and the food was delicious. Honestly when I got my food it was still hot, it felt really fresh. I had their carne asada fries and they really hit the spot. Definitely going to visit again if I'm in the neighborhood.

Delicious meals, so good it was hard to choose. Got the asada taco bowl. Wife got the 2 asada tacos and one asada sope and one pineapple drink. Overall very satisfied and the lady staffs were friendly and gave us great service.

Good service good filling food. Dining room was just really cold. My ultra delicious Mangochalada was a little late but worth the wait.

I usually go to the restaurant and eat indoors, when I order Carna Asada tacos they are so good however, today I ordered on Uber eats and the meat is nasty! It looks nothing like the meat when you eat inside the restaurant. They barely send any onion or cilantro and for three tacos only one SALSA they want to charge $.50 extra per SALSA I need to find another restaurant 🤨

I was extremely disappointed in my catering order spent over 600.00. Dry falling apart and no sauce at all.

It looked like the tortillas were fresh I ordered the nacho fries. The meat was not tasty at all had no flavor as you can see in the picture I pretty much left my plate did not eat much of it They put a little dab of sour cream and Guacamole I'm sorry I don't like to talk bad about small businesses but this place this needs a little help. Was a l pricey

THESE THIEVES STOLE FROM ME! I got a wet chicken burrito and was charged $17.47. That is what i put on the receipt for total amount! I am not tipping for a to go order! I was notified by my bank that my transaction was updated to include tip! My updated amount is $18.47! They stole $1 from me! I am not obligated to tip you fraudulent people! Don't ever steal from your customers! STAY AWAY FROM RESTAURANTS THAT STEAL FROM YOU! WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY WILL TRY TO STEAL NEXT! LOOK UP RESTAURANTS ON GOOGLE IF YOU NEED TO. TAMS TASTES GOOD FOR ABOUT THE SAME PRICE, BUT IT'S SO MANY RESTAURANTS 😊
