Hands down the best Mexican food in the area. Authentic, fresh, not too spicy. I love the Hibiscus water, fish tacos, homemade tortillas. I go there at least once a week. Also, the owners are a wonderful family who I enjoy seeing every time. Cute toys and gifts too!
Just found this place today and stopped for lunch. Had to give five stars as there is no option for six! Everything was terrific! Food was really good and portions were large. Good service and prices were good too. Looking forward to going back.
This is literally the best taco place I've been to. Visiting from Florida we are usually disappointed in the Mexican options in western PA but this place is amazing! They were also super accommodating of our dietary needs in the party...gluten free and vegan options! So kind and a beautiful spot right on the square! Will come back every time!
A very nice little Mexican restaurant right in central Ligonier. The space was decorated with a some amount of kitch, which give it a lot of character. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food was all very good. Most of the items on the menu were standard items that you would find at any Mexican restaurant in Pennsylvania, presented in much the same way you would expect (i.e., with rice, refried beans, lettuce, etc.). Some items on the menu were a little less typical (e.g., papas con huevo). Everything was very nicely presented, and the vegetables were all very fresh and crisp. All told, this was a nice low-key place to grab some good food without too much fanfare.
Having lived in the North for almost ten years, I have not yet found a Mexican Food restaurant that reminds me of home (Texas). Today, I found just that. El Vaquero Mexicano. Five stars and a call home to family and friends.
