" If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, La Vaca is the place to be! I had the wet burrito special with pollo en rojo salsa and it was absolutely to die for. The heat level of the salsa was perfect, and the horchata was refreshingly sweet. The only downside is the lack of seating, but taking it to-go is part of the adventure! The owner took pride in everything he served, making it a lovely experience. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The burrito at La Vaca was quite good, though not the best I've ever had. I ordered a vegetarian burrito, but I felt like it could've used a bit more seasoning to really pop. Service was quick and friendly, and I appreciate the large portion sizes. Overall, I had a satisfying meal but wished for a bit more flavor punch. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to La Vaca on a whim and ended up with a fantastic mole burrito! It had a great mix of flavors and textures. Service was swift and friendly, making the experience even better. I did wish they had more variety of sauces available to add some extra flavor, but overall a great spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Always a solid choice for a quick Mexican meal! The burritos are generously sized and full of fresh ingredients. I usually go for the chicken burrito, which never disappoints. I was hoping for a bigger variety of salsas, but what they have is tasty. The only complaint is the street parking can be challenging, but it’s worth the effort. I keep coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit La Vaca, I am blown away by the quality of the food. The veggie burrito is unbelievably packed with flavors and fresh ingredients. I literally can't get enough! The service is always friendly, and I love the laid-back vibe. It's the perfect place to grab a quick bite after exploring Pike Place Market! They make their burritos right in front of you, so you get to customize it exactly how you want. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food in Seattle. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who's tried Mexican food all across the country, I can confidently say La Vaca serves some of the best burritos I've had! The flavor of the carne asada was out of this world, and the fact that they use fresh avocados is so important to me. I also enjoyed that I could customize my burrito exactly how I wanted. I will definitely be coming back for lunch breaks! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Vaca is one of those gems that you need to find in Seattle. The portions are huge and extremely affordable! I ordered two tacos and could barely finish them both, and they were packed with flavor! Everything is fresh and the service is always friendly. I wish they had some indoor seating, but I don’t mind eating by the waterfront. It's the best takeout experience you can have in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
