" Last night was my first time dining at Vaqueros, and it was absolutely worth it! The atmosphere had a fun vibe, perfect for a family dinner. We ordered the molcajete and shrimp cocktail, and both were fantastic. Flavors really popped, especially in the molcajete. Even the kids enjoyed their meals from the kids' menu! Our server was warm and kept our drinks full. This is definitely a place I will recommend to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a decent experience Overall. The food was tasty, with good sized portions. I had the grilled chicken enchiladas, and they hit the spot! The service was steady; we weren't exactly rushed, but also not neglected. The real star was their salsa, which was flavorful and fresh. The atmosphere was nicely decorated but felt a bit crowded during our visit. However, I would come back for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" We’ve tried quite a few Mexican restaurants in town, but Vaqueros stands out! The tacos were flavorful, and the fresh guacamole was fantastic. My only complaint was that the service took a bit longer than expected, but our server was really friendly, which made up for it. The vibrant atmosphere added to the experience, making it a fun night, especially with their happy hour deals! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciate the effort for authenticity, Vaqueros didn't quite hit the mark. My shrimp tacos were overloaded with toppings that masked the shrimp's taste, and the service was a bit forgetful. The setting was charming, but I had expected more punch in the flavors for the price I paid. I think I’ll stick with my usual spots for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes after reading the reviews but felt it was more style over substance. The food was okay but lacked the bold flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine. I had the chorizo quesadilla, which could've used more chorizo, and the service was mediocre at best. It was pretty busy on a Saturday night, but that isn't an excuse for the lack of attentiveness. While the salsa was good, the overall experience was just average. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, I can't believe I've never tried Vaqueros before! My friends insisted, and I have to say it lived up to the hype. The food was vibrant and full of flavor, especially the shrimp and grits! The environment was energetic and welcoming. The only downside was that our server took a while to take our order, but the food made up for waiting. We will absolutely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lively dining spot! I enjoyed my time at Vaqueros. The tacos were delicious, and the margaritas were fantastic. My server was attentive and provided great recommendations. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun, fitting for a Mexican restaurant. I'm surprised by some reviews that complain about service; I found it quite excellent. Definitely returning to try more options!
