" I've visited El Vaquero multiple times, and every visit has been fantastic! The breakfast tacos are my go-to, and they never disappoint. The staff are always friendly, and the atmosphere is vibrant yet homey. My only complaint would be that during rush hour, the service can slow down a bit, but it's always worth it for the quality of food. Highly recommend the carne asada! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem in Amarillo! I stumbled upon El Vaquero by chance and what a lucky find! The breakfast burrito was gigantic and stuffed with all the good stuff. The fresh salsas were the perfect addition to every bite. Although I found the service to be a bit rushed, the staff were friendly and polite. I can't recommend the chorizo enough - it's definitely a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great place for breakfast! The chorizo burrito was massive, and the flavors were to die for. The staff were genuinely nice and attentive to my needs. It was a bit packed, which made it a noisy experience, but that’s part of the charm. Can't wait to visit again and try their other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, I was really impressed with El Vaquero! My burrito was delicious and packed with flavor. I also loved how accommodating the staff were. Even when I requested a special customization, they executed it perfectly! The only thing I wish was different is that they had more seating since it gets crowded quickly, but I would come back in a heartbeat for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Vaquero serves undeniably authentic and flavorful breakfast options. My burrito was perfectly seasoned, and I appreciated the generous portion for the price. The staff were lovely too, always ensuring we had what we needed! The only issue was that it took a little bit longer than anticipated for our orders to arrive, especially on a busy morning. Nevertheless, when you’re enjoying such great food, it’s easy to be patient! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really impressed by El Vaquero! The breakfast burritos are not only large but filled with a delightful blend of flavors. I had the carne asada burrito, and it was fantastic. The ambience was friendly and welcoming too. The only setback was the slow service during the peak lunch hours. However, given the delicious food quality, I’m willing to overlook that. I would 100% come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a longtime customer of El Vaquero, and it maintains great consistency! The burritos are always well-prepared and delicious. The staff are friendly and make an effort to remember regulars - that adds to the high quality of the service. The only downside was a long wait during peak hours. However, this is still my favorite breakfast spot in Amarillo! " (*Curated Review*)
