“ Looks can be deceiving. This is a great place to get seafood/mariscos. Although the location is small, the quality and quantity of the food is great. Worth the drive, hands down. If you dine in you get free camaron consome while you wait for your food and it is delicious. The plates were generous and filling. I especially liked the fried Tilapia. ”

“ From the moment we walked into Camaron Vaquero, we felt welcomed by a warm, friendly staff and a cozy, unpretentious atmosphere that put us right at ease. Nestled on S. Pulaski, this little seafood/Mexican–mariscos gem is a hidden treasure in Chicago. We started with the complimentary shrimp consommé, which arrived piping hot and beautifully seasoned — a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the entire meal. For our entrees, my partner ordered the spicy camarones a la diabla, and I opted for the grilled shrimp plate. Both were cooked to perfection — succulent, flavorful, and generous in portion. Each dish arrived with sides of crisp salad and slaw, which balanced the richness of the seafood beautifully. One of the things we loved most is that Camaron Vaquero is BYOB, so we were able to bring our own drinks to pair with our meal. The laid-back, almost homey vibe made the experience feel like dining in a friend’s home kitchen — genuine, down-to-earth, and full of flavor. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and every interaction from start to finish made us feel valued as guests. Portions were generous enough that neither of us left hungry (and we certainly didn’t feel like we overpaid for what we got). If you’re looking for seafood with authentic Mexican-mariscos flair in Chicago — somewhere with character, bold flavors, and a personal touch — Camaron Vaquero is absolutely worth a visit. We’ll be going back ”
