  I have been going to this restaurant for what seems like my whole life. Without fail the food is fast and delicious and the service is always exceptional. Our server last night was so extremely polite and attentive. The chipotle chicken is a classic dish for this restaurant so I had to try it and it was wonderful. The bean dip is also a classic which was great.
  
  We also got a pitcher of their frozen margarita which was great and not too sweet. They have plenty of parking available and they have an awesome patio. This is a Delaware staple!

  NUT! it was so good! My quesadilla was amazing. They make the food pretty quick and it always comes out hot. Would definitely recommend.

  There aren't great Mexican options in Delaware and if you don't make things difficult, you'll be just fine at Vaquero's. Stick with fajitas and quesadillas and you'll be fine. Tacos al pastor are my favorite thing to get at Mexican joints and theirs are pretty average. Dry, and not terribly flavorful. For the love of god, DO NOT order carne asada. Truly inedible. Doesn't taste like it's marinated at all, dry, overcooked, not even sliced. It comes covered in barely cooked onions. I'd say the closest thing I've ever tasted was liver and onions.
  To recap: yes on fajitas...no to pretty much everything else.

  Food is usually flavorful and hot. The most genuine sit-down Mexican you can get in Delaware for a meal in, but not my favorite. Staff is friendly and service is thorough.

  Mediocre Mexican food;  no real flavor very bland!  Not very authentic in my opinion!
