Nice food. Easy and simple. Highlight was the Barramundi. Service was casual and friendly. Not high quality but sufficient.

Food was very good. Wine by glass selection good. Initial greeting excellent and server pleasant and helpful but under pressure. We felt not enough floor staff. Wait between starters and main overly long.

A terrific night out with all the right ingredients for a wonderful dinner. Do try the Ribs as an Entree and the Wagyu Skirt steak was amongst the best I've ever had! A restaurant truly worthy of a city venue address.

Took my wife out for dinner to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary, thought we’d book at Vaquero because we are locals and previously the food and service has been great. Unfortunately tonight service was very average it was clear that they were understaffed only two waiters looking after the whole restaurant. After being taken to our seats we waited about 20min to be asked if we wanted a drink,ordered two wines Which didn’t turn up… after 30min we asked for some water and asked where our drinks were finally got a drink after 40min the waitress was really apologetic was doing her best. Pretty disappointed overall not how I’d like to celebrate our wedding anniversary, will no longer recommend this place to friends. You need to sort out your customer service..

A special birthday event where we didn't want to have heaps of background noise; wanted to be able to have conversation; Vaquero was perfect. The food was amazing and it was so wonderful to have such amazing, traditional great service at the table.

Just a really tasty menu at a smart, local restaurant with the right amount of sophistication just outside the central restaurant hub of Brisbane. Vaquero deserves to do really well, we love walking there for a tasty Friday night beverage and yummy dinner. Everyone we've ever taken there enjoys it, even the fussy (adult) eaters. Easy parking in the area

Vaquero is truly a hidden gem with a thoughtfully curated menu. The staff exude warmth and hospitality, making it easy for diners with food allergies to enjoy their experience. I had their banquet last night and found myself craving more of those meticulously crafted flavors. Discovering this place has been a delightful experience for me.

We had the paella seafood lunch special and it was scrumptious, mellow rice packed with luscious prawns, mussels, squid and barramundi. Whoever cooked that succulent barra is a genius! My companions all declared their complementary sangrias delicious. Vaquero is such a beautiful, atmospheric restaurant, the service superb, helpings generous and all of this for a very affordable "special" price. We'll come again to explore more of that inviting menu. Thank you team. You were all wonderful!

The ambience of Vacquero never disappoints; it’s cosy without having the tables too close. Food was of an extremely high standard with very generous portions. It’s pleasing to see that they have a good selection of wine by the glass on offer. The restaurant was well staffed and didn’t leave us waiting to be served at anytime. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant in Albion.

Beautiful paella lunch special with generous portions of delicious fresh seafood, perfectly seasoned. Only $29 including a glass of Sangria. We shared the broccoli side between 4 and couldn’t resist a scrumptious dessert. Great little restaurant combining interesting premises, friendly and helpful service and excellent cooking.
