This restaurant is absolutely amazing. I lived in Columbus for the longest time, but now there is one in the Dayton area. So happy for that. Everything I ordered was incredible. Can’t wait for the next round. Highly recommend!

Everything was good, but I do wish that El Vaquero would not advertise pop bottles because they don't serve the pop in the bottles but in styrofoam cups instead. That's false advertising.
