El Vaquero West: Reviews & Ratings
Wife and I went here after an appointment in the area. Let me tell you something. This place was recommended to me a handful of years ago as the "sister location" to a spot I used to frequent that shut down. I never ended up making it out here until today. I really regret that. This place is incredible. It threw me off for a second because it almost looks like an office building from the outside. But when you enter, you immediately know you're in the right spot. The decorations, the music, the smells. All of it just spot on and perfect. Let's talk about the service next. The waiter we had was incredible. Man was moving so quick, gave us chips and salsa almost immediately. He'd swing by to make sure everything was going good and tasting great. Which brings me to the next and final thing. The food. The FOOD. I ordered a steak California burrito with beans and a side chalupa. The STEAK in this burrito was perfectly seasoned, like, melt in your mouth tender and PERFECTLY seasoned with a little bit of char. It was incredible. My wife ordered the Enchiladas supreme which comes with chicken, beef and bean enchiladas. The CHICKEN in these enchiladas was INCREDIBLE; perfectly cooked, seasoned and moist. I'm used to some local spots having their chicken in the enchilada's dry, overcooked and relying on outside flavors. NOT THIS SPOT. NOT THIS PLACE. Everything here was cooked incredibly and with flavor and we left absolutely stuffed. This is an easy five star review, and we will absolutely be back.
I Love this place . Never a wait to be seated . Tables are clean not sticky . The food , drinks and service are consistent and well priced .
The food and service was great accompanied by a great atmosphere!! My Friends and Family really enjoyed the food and environment!!
The food and service are always impeccable. Our entire family loves coming here to eat and we rarely agree on food!
Food quality..... about the best mexican food you'll find in this area. Service is top notch. Ambiance is genuine Mexican. Easy 5 stars! Drinks are top notch too.
Very good restaurant. Chicken with chorizo is the absolute best dish. They have great service. It is a smaller restaurant.
We have been twice to this local business and each time food was great and portions were awesome. Oh and can't forget the delicious margaritas. Service was spot on too.
Great food, and atmosphere. Employees are knowledgeable and pleasant. They even do Pina Colada's to go!
This is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in the broader DMV. Vibe: 10/10 - exactly what you'd want from a Mexican restaurant and I wouldn't change it! Service:10/10 - everyone here is so kind Fajitas for 2: 10/10 - incredibly large portion; we always have leftovers for lunch the next day. Love the combo of meats and the meats and veggies are always cooked to perfection. I get corn tortillas while my fiancé gets flour, and it comes with 2 portions of rice, beans, and salad. Overall: 10/10 (5/5)
