El Vaquerito: Reviews & Ratings
Small place but great food!! Got birria tacos will be back next time trying the Torta or the wet burrito
Delicious food and great service! Been living in the area for 15 years and never realized there was this hidden little gem. I think Albert's gets a lot of their business because of location and visibility and I do love their Chimichangas, don't get me wrong, but this place has an amazing wet burrito (I got asada) and I really liked the pork flautas. My husband got the asada plate and loved it. The people are so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!
So good the queso tacos were so flavorful and the service was so fast got the food in less then 15 minutes and even got delicious horchata
Small little restaurant with only a few tables to dine in. I tried the dorados tacos de barbacoa and it was delicious. Service was fairly fast and I ordered takeout. Will come back again for those crunchy delicious tacos!
Hole in the wall that has great food and good service. Burritos and tacos super tasty, lots of flavor. They are generous with extras like sauces, limes, etc. The space is really small. There are maybe 4 tables. I mainly get food to go. Small parking lot that shares with a barber shop and liquor store. Portions are good and prices reasonable. Since I live in the neighborhood, it's one of my go to meals.
Delicious barbacoa and carne asada burritos today. Fair prices and family owned. This place 100x better than Alberts across the street
Arrived and was immediately greeted with a friendly vibe. The food was great we tried the tortas and chilaquiles plate and wow very flavorful I can't wait till we come back. I have driven past this place so many times and didn't know about it, so glad we decided to stop and try them out!
Excellent authentic mexican food! The birria was so delicious! The corn tortillas were served nice and warm! The salsa was a great addition with both rojo and verde ! Muchas Gracias!!
Yummy barbacoa tacos! I Love the agua de jamaica here too. It's not too sweet. The torta de asada is flavorful and big.
Great food that is a bit different than average Mexican places. Seems to focus on food from the Mexican states of Jalisco. The service is good although I can't tell if it's an "order up front" or waitstaff establishment. The tiny strip mall it sits in makes it look somewhat unapproachable, but don't be discouraged. Great place to add some variety to your Mexican cravings.
