About this restaurant

Thirty years ago Columbus entrepreneurs Efrain Quezada and Fernando Morales set out to establish and open a Mexican restaurant dedicated to the style of “on the range” cooking.

They opened their first restaurant, El Vaquero Mexican Restaurant on Riverside Drive in Upper Arlington, Ohio. Using distinctive spices and authentic original recipes to create those Vaquero favorites, El Vaquero today has attached other dedicated and passionate owners to the enterprise with 20 locations including three in Greater Cincinnati, three in Greater Toledo, and two in Michigan.

    The restaurant was packed but we were seated immediately upon arrival. The servers were attentive and friendly. Restaurant is outdated and a bit worn down. The tortilla chips were stale and the food was of lower quality. The vegetable fajitas had no flavor and consisted of mostly undercooked onions with a few peppers. The skirt steak was charred, greasy and fatty . We were very disappointed with the entire meal and experience after reading the reviews on open table.
