First time takeout tonight and the food was excellent! Our takeout order was ready when I arrived and our special prep instructions were done just right. The owner was very friendly and we became quick friends. We will be back again! Highly recommend.
Came here shortly after reopening. The Staff was so nice, and clearly put effort into their work. The food was absolutely terrific and they clearly put effort into every dish they serve. The steak is freshly grilled (and marinated!) and their salsa was out of this world! I hope to see this place successful because they put so much time and effort into their work.
We love this place! We've lived in Phoenix for 40 years, and visited Mexico many times, and the food here is authentic and delicious! The restaurant was taken over recently by a family from Mexico who has a few New England locations, and they hope to change the name to Vaquero soon. The decor is still a little "rustic", but they're working on that. If you want great Mexican food with great food and service at a good price, then this is your place! Oh, and they make a mean house Margarita!
Wow, such great Service, Adan was very gracious, and greeted us like Family!! Food was excellent, huge authentic menu! Great drinks!!!
The minute we walked in we were greeted and made to feel like family! Our Bartender/Waiter, Raul was extremely friendly and knowledgeable!! What I wanted wasn’t really on the menu but he made it happen! The margaritas were delicious and the food was top notch!! Will definitely be going back!!
