" I cannot recommend De Buey Y Vaca Taqueria enough! I was introduced to their unbelievable carne asada and tripitas tacos by a friend, and I’m now a loyal patron. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, ideal for gatherings. Despite being busy during my visits, the staff remains friendly and helpful. If you love good food with authentic flavors, this is the place to be. Do yourself a favor and visit; you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" De Buey Y Vaca Taqueria is a delightful find! As someone passionate about Mexican cooking, I was looking for a place that resonated with the flavors of my homeland. The barbacoa here is cooked just like my mom would make, full of flavor and served with fresh tortillas. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff are always eager to help. I’ll definitely recommend it to my friends and family! Just a little tip: try their aguas frescas for a refreshing complement to your meal. They add a lovely twist to the experience.

" This taqueria is absolutely fantastic! Their taco al pastor is one of the best I've ever tasted, full of flavor and beautifully charred. It came with homemade salsas that brought everything together perfectly. The restaurant has an authentic feel, which is crucial for any taqueria. I went on a Saturday afternoon, and the hustle and bustle gave it an exciting atmosphere. Just a reminder to bring cash, as they don't take cards. I left full and ready to return and try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to De Buey Y Vaca Taqueria for years now, and I must say, they never disappoint. The consistency in quality and flavor is what keeps me coming back. The lamb birria is to die for — rich, juicy, and bursting with authentic spices that are hard to find elsewhere. The place might get crowded, especially on weekends, but it's worth the wait. The service can be a bit slow when it's packed, yet the friendliness of the staff makes up for it. It's a family business vibe, which I love. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos at De Buey Y Vaca Taqueria are simply irresistible! I visited after hearing about its famed reputation and was not disappointed. The flavors are authentic, and I loved everything from the carne asada to the barbacoa. However, the seating can feel cramped at times, especially during rush hours. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is lively, and the staff is attentive. It’s a great place to enjoy a meal with friends. Just be prepared to wait for a table during peak times! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to De Buey Y Vaca Taqueria after hearing so much buzz. The food was good, and my husband enjoyed the burritos, but I found many of the dishes to be honestly just average. The authenticity was there, but it didn't quite meet my high expectations. The portions were reasonable, but not as generous as I expected for the price. It has a nice environment, so it’s a place I’d still recommend to friends, but maybe not at the top of the list. " (*Curated Review*)

" De Buey Y Vaca Taqueria is the essence of delicious authentic Mexican food. Their tacos filled with juicy meat are my absolute favorite. I’ve been coming here consistently, and the experience is always delightful. It's a bit cramped at peak times, but the wonderful vibes and tantalizing flavors make it worth every visit. Make sure to try their homemade salsas, which elevate the flavors to the next level. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
