Vaquero Taquero

An excellent little spot north of UT Campus to grab some tasty breakfast tacos. What's really enjoyable are the nopales y huevos (cactus and egg) tacos on flour tortillas - it's not a common thing to have on the menu, and it's done quite well.It's all outdoor seating, so if you're concerned with the weather, you'll want to pick up and go. But it's more than excellent for a casual outdoor meal.

My husband and I stopped by Vaquero Taquero on our ride today. We drove up, parked, and waited in line at the ordering window. While in line I tried to decide what I wanted. Once it was our turn at the window a nice guy took our order. He asked us what we wanted, wrote down our order, we paid and then he told us it would take about 20 minutes. We were fine with waiting as we found a shaded place to sit under the umbrellas in the outdoor seating area.The seating area wasn't very big as it was a few park bench tables with umbrellas but it worked. People came and went as they got their food or they sat and ate in the shade in the seating area as we did. It took about 30 minutes before we got our food but it was worth the wait.For my food, I ordered the Nopales Taco and the Chicken Tinga Taco. Both tacos were made fresh, very good and full of flavor. The Nopales Taco took me back to my childhood and reminded me of my Grandmother's Nopales. The Tinga Taco was just as good and all of the chicken which was filling.Overall it was a great place to stop. The food is delicious and the tacos are fresh and flavorful. We will return when in the future when in the area.

Great breakfast tacos, love the sauces. Scootered over here from my hotel. Service is a bit lacking at the window.Unassuming location but tacos were decent.

Located at the corner of a residential street close to campus, Vaquero Taquero is a quaint taco shop that fits the Austin vibe. You order at the window, and the seating is all outdoors. I had two breakfast tacos: the bacon, egg, and cheese, and the potato, egg, and cheese. I enjoyed the tacos, especially the tortillas, which had a thin and chewy texture. The eggs were over hard and intact, which I thought was unique. The sauces were good, and one of them was spicy, although my friend and I didn't know which one it was. I would say the tacos were a little small for the $4 price as I've had other breakfast tacos in Austin that were bigger for the same price.

One of my new favorite spots. Incredible pastor taco, one of the best I've ever had. Quick service too, and not too busy. Residential quiet area near the university, which was nice to walk around afterwards. Strongly, strongly recommended!

This place is def worth it. Simple menu but everything on it is well done! I ordered two breaks tacos the chorizo and egg and the charro beans and cheese. The chorizo and eggs good but the charro beans and cheese was perfection could eat 5 of them. I also ordered the Al Pastor and it was good just wish it was a bit more flavorful. The Mexican mocha was is excellent but I wish they had horchata.

3.5/5This taco shop it is right in the middle of a college campus. I feel like the high reviews are mainly by the crowd. I felt like overall the meat was not properly season, cooked in the Carne Asada taco. The elements of the chicken taco were great and the Nopales wasn't anything special. We did not try the Al Pastore as they did not have it in stock that day. Also, one thing to know about this place is that they are decent size tacos for the price that you were getting.

These tacos are amazing! The flour tortillas are soooo fresh. The Al pastor was delicious with the fresh pineapple. The breakfast taco was unbelievably good and I don't usually like eggs in tacos. The students who live nearby are lucky?

Excellent tacos and salsas--everything was packed with flavor! I also tried the guacamole with chips, which was just as good. The food came out quickly, fresh, and hot. While there's no indoor seating, they offer comfortable outdoor seating with umbrellas. The food quality, service, and fresh ingredients were all top-notch. If you're a taco lover, this place is a must-visit!

NOT Homemade tortillas. Pic says it all. Many bags of store bought tortillas. First and last visit due to misleading statement they are HOMEMADE - not so much.
