The food is cool but it feels racist every time I’ve been in there. They are quick to serve white folks with a smile but always give me or my friends attitude and act like they don’t see us when we’re waiting to order. The last time I went they acted like they didn’t see me so I sat down and the next person to walk in got immediate service? I can’t go back to that place as a result of the quiet disrespect that speaks volumes.??

This place is so good.! I usually get the burrito bowl and they have never disappointed. The food is always perfectly cooked and the staff is very friendly. It’s nice to have an authentic mexican restaurant around here…i’ll be back!

I found El Vaquero over the pandemic (ordering in and all) and it is legitimately some of the best food in Boston. Really, truly. As a bonus, they're cheap and quick! I am so glad to have them right in my backyard; I have never had a bad meal from them. My favorites are the Birria, Grilled Tilapia (on anything), and the street corn (SO GOOD). Highly recommend.

Birria tacos were amazing! Nice and flavorful, not burnt or bland. The Elote and tres leches is great too!! Staff are friendly and attentive as well. I'll be back to try more stuff. So happy to have found this place ?

Food was good. Great portion sizes and friendly. I liked the tamale and the shrimp tacos.

Unbelievably delish Mexican cuisine! Excellent meals and sides at affordable prices! The owner and staff are super nice!Yum!!

This restaurant came enthusiastically suggested by a friends who said it served the best food., it served the best and most delightful food I'd at any point had! We had a fabulous dinner and would energetically prescribe it to everybody!

Extremely decent spot nearby! I can pick an assortment of heavenly food and the staffs were all exceptionally expert and well disposed. Your café merits being known by many. Much obliged!

From out of state, we were on 95 and reallyWanted Mexican cuisine. I found this place. It was 10 miles out of our way but we went anyway. We ordered our food, the locals were completely rude to us. And people who showed up after us had their food made before us. We actually just paid for everything and didn't even get our food. 40$ in food later and 10 miles back to our start point just for someone to be rude to us for no reason. Hopefully this won't happen to everyone....

Great Mexican food spot. Service was great and they made my food very fast. Everything was fresh and made in front of you like a chipotle. The chicken enchiladas and rice were amazing. If you’re looking for fast made but great quality food, this is the place to go. Highly recommend coming here if you are in the area. Authentic Mexican food.
