Food: Intense flavors in every bite

The Carnitas Torta Ahogada, barbacoa Quesitacos and chilaquiles are el Vaquerito's star dishes - each one a marvel of authentic creativity and taste. The freshness of the ingredients is particularly notable, such as the ceviche which comes so fresh it practically swims to your table. Plus, it's all at a value that would feel insulting if it weren't so gratifying.

  • Great Taste

    Food described as 'delicious', 'full of flavor' and 'tasty' consistently.

Perks: Fast service over roomy seating

Perhaps not the most spacious of local joints, El Vaquerito can feel a bit squished, specifically when parking your car or accommodating larger parties. Yet, the very positive service generates a charming intimacy, as staff offer quick and attentive service that feels authentic and deeply personable, making any inconvenience almost vanish.

  • Great Service

    Staff is consistently praised for friendly, fast, and accommodating service.

  • Bad For Groups

    Small restaurant with limited space, cannot handle large parties.
