Never have had a bad meal or service at this place. Always fast to wait, fast to get the food out and friendly. The food is simply amazing every single time we go there. Huge beers and great margarita's. The menu is huge - it always takes me a long time to find what I want, but the large selection is nice. They always have coupons in the paper too for 1/2 off a meal. We'll definitely be going back soon!

Consistenty good food and good value. Their red sauce is the best I've ever had. They could use new booth seats, that's for sure. One of our favorites!

I took an out of town friend to this place. What a mistake that was. We were the only ones waiting to be seated, but since the hostess was on the phone talking to what sounded like a friend....we stood for 10 minutes waiting. Then a very impatient waiter stood by the table so we rushed to place our order. The food was just plain nasty. I couldn't eat that disgusting white cheese stuff they put on my plate.
Both my guest and I hated the food and the service.
Never again!!

I will not step foot into Vaqueros . The last time me and my family went there we were given the cold shoulder. They did not seat us. It was 30 to 60 minutes before they were to close. I was upset so we left and while walking out in the parking lot they shut the lights off. Also ,the salsa they leave out on every table without a cover. On one particular occasion their was what looked like lint in one of them. On other occassions we have had bones in our chicken.

Ate here for the first time on Saturday, the food was ok but nothing great and really bland. The chips that come with the salsa seem to be nothing more than thin taco shells. Ordered the nachos and the only thing on them was meat and a white cheese sauce. don't know if I will give it another try or not.

I love the food and especially the white cheese. The prices are reasonable.

I LOVE this place! Great food, fast service, reasonable prices. I try to visit about once a week for lunch. I can't understand why people who go to Taco Bell don't go here instead. The prices are comparable and you get REAL Mexican food and chips and salsa too.

One of my favorite Mexican Restaurants to dine at in southeast Michigan. I have tried all the mexican restaurants in town (even the newest, Grande Lagos) and none can compare to Vaqueros.

Vaqueros has a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Their chicken burrito rosqueto is wondeful. Also their vegetable burrito deluxe is one of the best non meat burritos I have ever had. The California burrito is also gigantic and worth the price. Their chips and salsa are very good as well. I could list a ton more dishes to try but I would need a lot more time :)

Their service is always fast and friendly. The inside of the restaurant is always clean and neat. You can always print a buy one get one half off coupon from their website, so you can save some cash.

Oh, they have pretty good margaritas and Mexican beers on draft, too!

I don't much care for the food. I think it's bland and far from authentic. If I'm going to pay for mexican food, I want it to be good and I am willing to pay the price. Chips and salsa isn't going to bring me back.

We average at least 1 time per week and sometimes 2 or more. The hospitality is exceptional, the food great - one of the best authentic mexican restaurants that we have found.

I really like Vaquero's, with the exception of the atmosphere. I kinda feel like I am in a cafeteria while here. I also do not like how you have to pay at the register and cannot pay at your table. Anyway, the food is really good here, and the chips and salsa pre-meal are to die for. Service is quick and friendly. Oh, I also wish they would play Detroit sports on their TVs and less foreign sports. it drives my husband batty.....

One of our favorite restaurants to go to! The cheese nachos are awesome. While I agree that the booths are awful the service and the food is always great!

Good food, great people to talk with when sitting at the bar.

Drinks are reasonable, food is well priced.

I agree with 'mudman' on one thing: Those booth seats are the worst!

We do love the food and the service is always fast. We feel it's quite a bargain especially if you use the coupons.

The only things I find good here are the service and the chips\salsa - both are outstanding. I am not going to say the food is not authentic but the meat is flavorless and the rest is average at best. It appears that folks around here have never ate really good authentic mexican cuisine. Go to Adrian, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Toledo, Ypsi, and many other communities. I must say I have ate worse but could be much better. The cheese even tastes off. If you like that's great but don't ask me. I make better myself at home.

My wife and I have been going to Vaqueros, at least twice a month, since they first opened. We have never had a bad meal there. I also have friends and relatives from out of town who all have had excellent meals there and want to go there whenever they visit. We are all originally from the detroit area and grew up eating a lot in Mexican Villiage. Vaquero's is right on par with those retaurants.

We love Vaqueros!! We eat there at least once a month, when we can. Their chips and salsa are the best we have found other than going to Mexican Town in Detroit. The people are nice and helpful and the place is always clean. For mexican or a special dinner/lunch you can't beat them. So glad they are in our town.

Vaquero's is average, I would not rave about thier meals. Large menu choices, but as other's have stated in review, certain meat dishes have odd taste. Our family of 5 ate dinner there and 2 of the 5 meals had that odd taste.

I ate here once. Everyone at our table had meat that tasted off. We all decided that after a few bites that we would return the food. 5 people all agreed that something just didnt taste right. We told the waiter and the owner came out and yelled at us, upset that we wanted to return our food. I will never eat there again.
