" So, this was my third trip to El Vaquero and it's still as good as I remembered! The breakfast tacos were just stunning, full of flavor and generously portioned. While the wait was longer than I expected, the lively vibe of the restaurant kept the mood upbeat. The staff were all very kind, and the restaurant has a nice decor that makes anyone feel welcomed. I can’t wait to come back and taste more of their menu items! " (*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*)
