" I love how La Vaquita captures the essence of authentic Mexican cuisine! The chorizo tacos I had were expertly crafted and full of flavor. The outdoor seating feels relaxed, though I do wish for some indoor options on hotter days. Service was friendly but could improve on timing. Nonetheless, this place has solidified itself as a staple in my taco rotation. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Vaquita is a taco lover's paradise! I sampled a mix of tacos and each one was more flavorful than the last. The ingredients tasted fresh, especially the sauces that added great character to the meal. The outdoor environment felt welcoming, although it did get quite busy. Overall, I'd say this spot is one of the better places for authentic Mexican food in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been living in Durham for a while, and nothing beats the tacos at Taqueria La Vaquita. The flavors remind me of home, especially their al pastor which is deliciously rich and juicy. The outdoor seating might not be for everyone, but it definitely has a vibe! Friendly staff makes the experience even better. I've already scheduled my next visit with some friends! Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a really nice time at Taqueria La Vaquita. The food has that street-style authentic taste that I love. However, the service was a little slow during my last visit, and that was slightly disappointing. Nonetheless, the fantastic tacos and the nice ambient outdoor setting made up for it. The price is reasonable for the quality, and I definitely left feeling full and satisfied. I'll be back again soon for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience overall! The inviting outdoor space adds to the charm of Taqueria La Vaquita. Their carne asada is exceptional, and the pricing is quite fair. Even though it was quite busy during my visit, the staff did their best to keep things moving. The only downside was the waiting time, which could be better organized. However, I will be returning because the food was truly divine! " (*Curated Review*)

For anyone who enjoys real Mexican tacos, this place is a must-visit! I’m definitely coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my third visit to La Vaquita and it’s consistently impressive! Their tacos are amazing and the selections are endless. I tried their carne asada this time and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! They still have a few service hiccups during busy hours, but the food keeps calling me back. I’ve suggested this place to many friends! " (*Curated Review*)
