" Had a great time at Vaquero Taquero! I tried a few different kinds of tacos and each one was better than the last. I was particularly fond of the beef options which were well seasoned. They could work a bit on the speed of service, but the food was definitely worth the wait. I will be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

Overall a great spot! " (*Curated Review*)
