" From the moment I walked into Vaquero Taquero, I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma of grilled meats envelops you right at the entrance. I started with the Al Pastor taco—simply exquisite! The balance of flavors, with sweet pineapple and savory pork, created a delightful explosion on my palate. What truly sets this place apart is the attention to authenticity; the handmade tortillas make a significant difference. I also sampled their breakfast items, and I can say the same for those! The setup is casual yet charming, with friendly staff that really make you feel at home. I’ll absolutely be back to try their specials. This may just be my new favorite taco joint!

I’d recommend their breakfast special for an authentic Mexican twist to start the day. " (*Curated Review*)
