EL VAQUERO MEXICAN RESTAURANT COLUMBUS REVIEWS

I have been here years ago and I see why they are still going strong. I had vegetarian tacos with spinach and grilled onions. The tacos were cooked well and stuffed with an acceptable portion size for the price. I ordered guacamole for my appetizer. Food came out quickly and was seemingly fresh .

Best Mexican Restaurant in town! The owner, the staff and the cooks are the best. Wednesday night Margarita night can't be beat. If you've never been you've got to go and if you've been you already know! five stars.

This is my first time trying El Vaquero restaurant. The service was great. Customer service was good. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Food was so good. I truly enjoyed my visit. Will definitely be back.

EL CARRIZO RESTAURANT REVIEWS

My family and I came here the other day and had a great experience. The service was fast and brought everything we asked for plus more. Anytime the chips were getting low, more were brought out without even saying anything. My wife got the tacos and she said they were great, my kids got the quesadillas and I got the happy plate. The food was awesome. I highly recommend stopping by.

I've loved this placed for years. Moved away and hadn't visited for 15 years. Made a trip back recently. This place hasn't missed a beat. Great service, food, menu, and prices. Keep up the good work.

The bean and beaf nachos were decent, nothing too exciting.. the steak fajitas though, were very tasty! Our wait staff was good, the food reasonably priced and the environment was fun and clean. 5 stars.

SAPO'S MEXICAN COCINA & BAR REVIEWS

Good food at somewhat decent prices. Large space for this style restaurant. Shrimp dish was tasty. My salad was ok. The taquitos were well executed. This type of restaurant is not my favorite but it hit the spot just the same. Wait staff was slow which was ok since we weren’t in a hurry. I’d visit again when visiting. Some of my family members love and I do mean love Mexican style food.

Excelente servicio Service was awesome Food was amazing, one of the best birria spots I have found. The drinks were great. Our waiter went above and beyond and brought my table Chamoy on request for our mangonada. Will definitely be back !! La salsa roja estaba bien buena.

Me and my family and friends had a great experience here. Great food and great service.
