El Vaquero

If I could leave zero stars I would! Absolutely terrible. Slash was canned tomatoes with garlic powder and cumin… ick. The server asked my daughter if she wanted another horchota then charged her another $ 2.00…if you like canned and pre fab Mexican food then you’ll love it! Big waste of $$!!

So good. My favorite in town. The food is always on point and the service is excellent. Try the chicken chimichanga and the freshly made horchata.

We LOVE eating here! Food is great! Prices are good! Service is amazing! We’ve never once left disappointed or hungry!

I love this place! Yes it is an old laundromat but it is nice and clean inside, the owners are friendly, the service is good, and the food is delicious! I usually get the fajitas and they are excellent. Definitely the best Mexican food in the area!

El Vaquero 2 (what happened to 1? lol) is located in a shopping strip, in a space that used to be a laundromat. Unfortunately, when I was told that, it didn’t feel like much of a surprise. The place is pretty bare bones, stark walls and tables and chairs that look like they were the cheapest selection from the local restaurant depot.
Aside from the less than impressive appearance, though, this place isn’t bad. The menu is pretty standard for any Mexican spot, nothing stood out as unique but all the staples were there. We had a large group (about 12) and everyone found something they were happy with. Personally, I had the fajita taco salad with chicken. The fried shell was not greasy, and the portion size was perfect — I was full for the rest of the day! Everything else at the table was eaten up with no complaint.
A great bonus was that the free tortilla chips came not only with salsa, but a zesty queso cheese dip.

Not just a #1 fan of this place, but good mexican food is very hard to find in this area. The prices are good, and the chimichanga is good.

First impression was not great, it’s an old laundromat and it looks the part. BUT, the food is very good. The FLAN is to die for! Not to sweet, just right. And the prices are very reasonable. When the locals and college kids say it’s good and cheap too, better check it out. And I’m glad I did. Now I have a new favorite spot in Alma.

Very good authentic Mexican food and I felt it was very tasty and the portion size was perfect. The service was good. The prices are extremely reasonable. I would recomend this restraurant to anyone. If you had a bad experience here, give it another try.

Great Mexican food! The restaurant is owned by a Mexican family and they are really great people. The food is fast and fresh and very good. They are also very reasonably priced.
The crowd is mostly locals and professors because it’s a bit of a walk from campus, but totally worth every step.
