With its inviting outdoor seating and a casual atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to soak up the Texas sun while enjoying freshly crafted Mexican dishes.

At Vaquero Taquero, every taco tells a story. Dive into their signature Al Pastor, where marinated pork is flamed grilled to perfection and topped with onions, cilantro, and a unique avocado sauce. The sweet notes of pineapple perfectly balance the savory richness of the meat, making it a standout choice for taco lovers.

The sides here only elevate the experience further. The Guacamole, made fresh with avocados, cilantro, lime juice, and a hint of jalapeño, is creamy perfection, paired beautifully with crispy chips. Their salsas, both verde and roja, cater to different spice preferences, ensuring everyone finds their ideal combination to enhance their meal.

Don’t overlook the drink options, either. The Horchata Latte and Iced Mexican Mocha perfectly complement the food, providing a refreshing contrast. Customers rave about the quality and freshness, with many noting the quick service and impressive flavors that keep them coming back for more.
