El Vaquero

I have eaten here a lot because there are just not that many places from which to choose at Lake Monticello.

The food is fine but really what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant whose food offerings have been Americanized.    I generally stick to the fajitas or carnitas, and of course, the baskets of chips and salsa, which has a nice bit of heat to it.

The waitstaff is friendly and works very hard to deliver prompt and courteous service.  But I secretly wish they would stop calling me "amiga" with every sentence they speak to me.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to in a long time.  The food was great and so was the atmosphere.  Our waiter was very friendly and helpful.  One of the best things is that they have 32 oz. beers for $5!  I am defiantly going back to this place.
