"Mexicali's most traditional steakhouse"
The steakhouse with the longest tradition in Mexicali. Premium grilled cuts, breakfast and afternoon buffets, a wine cellar and live music. A Centro Cívico institution.
The cuts that have made El Vaquero famous among Mexicali locals.
The signature cut. Juicy, with an intense flavor and firm texture. Recommended in reviews as "the New York!!!" by regular diners.
The softest and most tender cut at the steakhouse. Low in fat but with a buttery texture. Best enjoyed medium.
The quintessential northern Mexican cut. Marinated in the traditional style, with an intense flavor and a texture that soaks up the juices perfectly.
Ideal for sharing. A combination of several grilled cuts with sides. The go-to option for a group celebration.
The house specialty for two people: it starts with cheese, a generous portion of meat, guacamole and refried beans. A complete traditional Mexicali steakhouse experience.
El Vaquero combines a steakhouse with two buffet services: a traditional Mexican breakfast and an afternoon grill.
Located right in the Centro Cívico across from the government offices, for decades it has been the gathering spot for business lunches, family get-togethers, birthdays and special celebrations.
Its gourmet offering includes an extensive wine cellar that pairs with the premium cuts. The clean atmosphere, comfortable facilities and professional staff create an elevated experience without being pretentious.
In the evenings, live music turns El Vaquero into the ideal place for anniversaries and romantic dinners. A tradition that sets it apart from the city's more modern steakhouses.
Reviews highlight "the shows at every cart that came to our table" as a special experience at the restaurant. Spectacular preparations in front of the diner that add value to every visit.
Spacious place, a 5-star buffet, very professional staff. The parking lot is huge. My favorite restaurant, by far.

Very good appetizers, an excellent variety of cuts and main dishes. Very good desserts. The service is also first-rate. It's a sure thing.

We had the Vaquero Dinner for Two. The food was impressive and plentiful. We started with cheese, then a mountain of meat with guacamole and refried beans.

Its large on-site parking lot is invaluable in the Centro Cívico, where office traffic is heavy.
Saturdays and Sundays tend to be packed. It's a good idea to book at 686 557 5741, especially for groups.
You have both options. The buffet is great for variety, the menu for a specific cut cooked to your liking.
The live music in the evenings gives it a special atmosphere. Perfect for romantic dinners or celebrations.
It's the specialty for couples: cheese, meat, guacamole and beans. A generous portion, a complete experience.
The crepes made on the spot at the buffet are the standout dessert according to the reviews. "Delicious."
