El Vaquero in Barnet

We never leave this place disappointed, always a great time! Our waitress Noa was very pleasant and professional…

Absolutely fantastic! The food was incredible – a delicious and seemingly endless parade of perfectly cooked Brazilian delights. What truly stood out was the amazing staff. So friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, they made the whole experience a joy. The atmosphere was lively and fun. If you're looking for a great Brazilian feast with top-notch service, this place is a must-try. Five stars!

Amazing concept where meat keeps coming and you can try a bit of everything. Great taste and nice vibes.

First time at this restaurant and nothing but positive things to say. Service was amazing from when we were greeted to through our time here, really friendly and attentive staff. The food was really good! The meats were all cooked and seasoned perfectly and all really tasty. The plantain and aubergine sides are also not to be missed. Would definitely you recommend and try.

Beautiful service to complement tender and delicious food.

Fantastic food and very hospitable staff. I'm so full. Tender meats and very flavoursome.

I went for dinner to celebrate my father’s in law birthday , and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The buffet offered a very fresh and tasty selection of food, with a particularly good variety for vegetarians , including salads, rice, beans, pasta, seasoned cauliflower, potato salad and much more. The meat selection was also impressive, featuring a mix of red meats, chicken, and lamb. A gentle note: Some of the meats were slightly overcooked for my taste, but overall the quality was high. The wine selection was also very good and paired well with the meal. The highlight of the evening was the service. The staff were absolutely lovely and attentive throughout, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A diverse and friendly team from different nationalities.

Having visited this place for many years i can honestly say it is always a great experience. Food is always good quality with a wide variety served swiftly. The salad bar is always fresh and fully stocked. The service is 10/10 with the staff always so friendly and accommodating.

Exceptional service and food was tasty and plentiful. Staff was also very friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back!

Amazing staff, amazing food. Will definitely be back 100%

13.04.2025 - Wonderful experience. Food fantastic, steak was sublime. Service as good as always. Big thank you also to Noa who made our visit special Our latest visit to El Vaquero was nothing short of perfect. Food was off the chart and the staff were excellent as always.

Amazing food and really prompt and welcoming service. 100% recommend!! 💯

Really good customer service from Noa. Great customer service from everyone else with food 10/10

Really great quality meat, with a good variety of steaks, lamb and chicken dishes with some really amazingly seasoned and spicy options. The food kept coming out hot, fresh and with no downtime if you just want to keep eating! A great all you can eat option, we were really impressed.

Este es un gran lugar para una noche con amigos y deliciosa comida el servicio era genial y rápido y la carne era excepcional

Love this place. Eat all you want. Great food. Will be back soon.

Wonderful evening, delicious meat and marshmallows! We even got free churros! Thank you!

Excellent food with great choices of meat. Kids loved the lamb especially. Wide variety of salads and service was fantastic

Meat is incredible ❤️ and staff are very friendly 👌

Gran comida y un servicio muy amable y eficiente. La carne ahumada es excelente. Recomiendo encarecidamente visitar. Sin duda volveremos.

Great staff very friendly. Amazing food my children loved the experience.

It's our second time here and we absolutely love it! So many meat options and all of them are delicious. Salad bar is also amazing, I always cannot decide if I want more meat or more sides. I tried to recreate some of their salads at home but I guess there's a secret ingredient, they are just better here. Pineapple and marshmallow is exactly a sweet treat you need to finish a perfect dinner. Drinks selection is great, lots of authentic wines and cocktails as well as more traditional ones

We went with our kids to El Vaquero and it was amazing!! We all loved it! The food was good with great service and all the staff were really lovely! Very recommend!!!

Lovely meal, super friendly staff

Wonderful steak - great concept. friendly service - recommended.

Highly recommend this place. Nicest food and value for money. Been here so many times and will continue to return.

Excelente comida, el servicio es genial y muy amable. Muy generoso con la carne, y mucha variedad. Personal muy atento. Estábamos aquí para una celebración de cumpleaños / compromiso - nos dieron un gofre encantador y helado y una canción del personal! ¡Volveremos!

5 star service. The staff are super attentive and the food is lovely.

The staff were very friendly and I said no, why have you taken it?efficient. The food was tasty and fresh. We left very satisfied and full. I would definitely recommend it.

Amazing meats & salads, great value for money, also excellent service. Highly recommended!

El personal era muy agradable y muy eficiente, , la comida era fresca y sabrosa. Tenemos una buena noche, lo recomendaría.

delicious food with great value for money and excellent service!

Excellent ambience very friendly staff and catering to our needs all the time. I want to say big thank you to Luci and keso who has always served us with respect and always knows what we like with our meats. He is the main reason why we keep coming here as we don't get this service anywhere else

I thought the food was below average and didn’t enjoy it at all. The concept is good, the salad bar is average at best and didn’t think the meat was seasoned well and tasted bland. The dessert was a very sour hot pineapple which wasn’t tasty at all and I think the Mill Hill branch is far superior. I won’t be going back to this place again. For £80 for 2 people, I can go to a much better restaurant. The service was good though, I think that was the best part of the experience

What a wonderful evening. Our first time here. We came to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary after a truly awful year. The staff were welcoming and friendly. And made us feel really special. The food was excellent and served wonderfully. A big thank you to all the staff. The atmosphere was great. Would thoroughly recommended and we will definitely be returning.

Amazing restaurant, was ment to go nandos but my friend insisted on going here. The food is amazing value, great quality and the staff are really attentive and helpful

Great experience, amazing food and service

Bustling restaurant at Whetstone as always. Food outstanding and the service was really good.

Had another delicious meal at El Vaquero Whetstone for my son’s birthday. The meat was excellent and plentiful as always, the marshmallows fluffy and sweet, and the pineapple mouth-wateringly juicy. Thanks to all the staff for making us so comfortable and feeding us so well. We’ll be back soon!

Excellent food, great atmosphere and great staff! Good value for money, will definitely be back!

Meat lovers’ paradise! The food just kept coming — every cut perfectly cooked and seasoned. The staff were friendly, the vibe was lively, and I left happily stuffed. Highly recommend

Great food Great staff all round great evening highly recommended

Food is brilliant and so is the service.

The food was so nice the waiters and servers were very kind the meat was soo nice and tasty I loved this restaurant and the vibe was very chill they have over 30 drinks and cocktails and such more I loved the atmosphere I hope to be back soon Ronan

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff - very welcoming. Kept the food coming to the table and lots of meat options. My favourite was the steak - and you can request it cooked to your preference.

Food was so good, the ribeye was the standout. 😍

It is well worth the money I do not come here very often but when I do I can never say I am still hungry. Staff are friendly and you do not wait long for your food. It was my son's birthday and he had a nice little birthday song from the staff. Great value for money and excellent selection of meat.

Excellent meats, great atmosphere, just a little rushed out the door for the next sitting😆

Great place to enjoy all-you-can-eat BBQ meats. Wide selection of meats, well cooked to individual requirements. There is a salad bar too. Great service, very friendly staff. The interior looks a bit plain and felt a tad cold, could use a refurb. Pity that fish dishes are not part of the BBQ selection and need to be ordered in advance apparently.

Family get together and we were impressed by the attention of the staff. Access is great as there are no steps and wide doors. Variety of salads/starters of quality.

Para un amante de la carne, empezar con una reseña de una ensalada es extraño, pero la ensalada Waldorf es realmente especial! Después de eso, las brochetas y pinchos de cordero, filetes, pollo, salchichas, etc. siguen llegando. El personal es muy atento y amable. No es mi primera vez aquí, y no será la última.

Very nice food, many options, they come to the table serving meals very often (almost without break) and have bring everything that I asked for.The staff is very polite and vibrant, specialy, Saboor, who was very welcoming. I will be back soon.

DELICIOUS FOOD!! Had a great birthday party here with some of my best mates. The vibes are just perfect and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. The lamb is the best meat here, so tender and juicy

Man lambs lost their lives for my meal and it was worth it

Brilliant food , with amazing staff , honestly a fantastic experience to be at and enjoy a lovely evening : the waiting staff were energetic and friendly . Can’t recommend enough !!!

Amazing service, lovely staff, delicious food. 20/10

Excellent staff, good and ambience. Very friendly, always give great speedy service and bespoke to my individual needs and requirements. They cater and remember your requests as a regular customer.

Amazing value for money. Lovely, friendly staff. Great tasting food. Would definitely recommend! Also had loads of vegetarian options.

We celebrated my partner birthday in Vaquero . Such a spot on service and good choices of meat . I really loved their Piccanna steak and chicken teriyaki.

Always friendly attentive service from all the staff, good food cooked to your liking

A brilliant meal out for my son’s birthday. Brilliant service and the meat was excellent. Very impressed with the salad bar too. We’ll definitely be back!

All you can eat menu comes with a huge variety of quality meat and perfect for a group of people. Well priced and service is brilliant.
