Vaquero’s Mexican Fast Food

Run, don't walk to this new spot in Watauga, right off Denton Hwy.

I kept seeing this new spot as I would drive by and today was the day I stopped in to see what goodies they have. Let me tell you....the menu offers a wide variety of food. Street tacos, Cali style burritos, Enchiladas, Seafood plates and lots more, even Breakfast.

I was greeted by both gentlemen working and scanned the menu to see what I wanted to try. After one of the gentlemen eagerly answeres a few of my questions I decided on the street tacos and ceviche tostado.

I ordered two birria and one chicken street tacos. The birria meat was so flavorful and fresh. They come with cilantro and chopped onions. After my first bite, I knew I picked the right place ro eat. The chicken was good too, but that birria meat was on point! The ceviche tostado was piled high and topped with fresh avocado slices. It was good as well, I am just not use to the tomato sauce style. I ate it all, but not sure I will order it again. I prefer lime juice to the tomato style, but it was super fresh and the tostada was crunchy. They also have a fresh salsa bar that offers all you need to top your food selection.

I will be back and look forward to trying more on their menu.

By the time I left the place was packed with customers all ordering different items. It gave me some ideas of what to try next time....the nachos perhaps or a combo plate.

Great spot, clean with super nice, friendly and helpful staff.

Thanks for a great meal and service.

This is truly Southern California style. The hot carrots are amazing! The rolled tacos are out of the world! I ordered my potato rolled tacos with guacamole only and was still super impressed. We've had everything from chilaquiles to burritos and have been very impressed. The hot sauce is nice and hot. The staff is super helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough! Don't miss out!

Delicious food with great prices. I ordered 5 street tacos ($8) thinking they’d be small but they packed them with so much meat I couldn’t finish it in one sitting. Guacamole and salsas were very fresh. Definitely a new neighborhood favorite!

There’s a variety on the menu to choose from for breakfast, lunch & dinner. The food was fresh and delicious. I had the Chile relleno plate and my husband had the chimichanga plate. Customer service was great! Can’t wait to go back and try something different.

Visited this new restaurant for dinner. We got two #5’s which was a cheese enchilada, crispy beef taco with rice and beans. My daughter got the California burrito. They served salsa and chips with the meal.

We enjoyed the food pretty well. The beef taco had shredded beef instead of ground but I’m thinking one could request either. I enjoyed it. The food was fresh. The restaurant was clean. It had a simple front of house. You buy at the counter, they have a selection of bottled drinks and they bring the food to your table. There is a small salsa/sauce bar with some other items like pickled onions. You bus your own table.

Our only negative was the while the salsa was fresh and tasty it had a flavor in it that we couldn’t place and it was a bit spicy. I admit though, I was picking up the salsa cup and eating it, so I think I was being kind of picky.

They serve breakfast items and they are on my way to work. Looking forward to trying them out next week.
