The molé was very satisfying. Service was very good. Everything else was fine. I will be getting food from here again.

Atmosphere: Taqueria La Vaquita is a cute local stand with outdoor seating. People may recognize the iconic cow on the roof, and the outdoor area makes for a lovely meal out on a sunny day.Service: We ordered at the counter, and our food came out relatively quickly for pickup!Food: We ordered the Enchiladas en Salsa Verde and the Carne Asada Plate. The Enchiladas en Salsa Verde were decent - we would've liked a bit more chicken, but it tasted great otherwise. The Carne Asada Plate was also pretty good. The grilled pineapples and jalapeños made the dish extra flavorful, and the portions overall were filling. Overall: We enjoyed our experience at Taqueria La Vaquita. The food was solid and the atmosphere was humble and comfortable. Not quite the mind blowing, 5-star experience that some of our friends have raved about, but nevertheless we think that everyone should try out this local favorite!

Yuck, just received my DoorDash order and DEFINITELY have issues with the $7.99 Queso due to the VERY stale chips. I ordered a 3 taco meal so would have expected chips & salsa. Ummm....no, I get a 1/3 paper sandwich bag full of extremely stale chips to cover both queso and salsa? The salsa was delivered in a ketchup size container. The issue is the stale, flimsy/chewy chips but also no regular size salsa for a taco meal?

We went here due to Yelp and trying to find a place to eat. This place is hidden in the forest and sort of like a food truck experience. It is outdoor dining. The prices are a little up their in price compared to in Texas. I got the tripa, tongue taco and I can not recall the other one plate. It came with rice and beans. It does take awhile for you to get the food as I think we waited 20 minutes for our food. You can order ahead of time as well. The food was good, but it is something I can get here in Dallas. I am sure this place serves the community well

I can't get enough of this place!I first tried the food through delivery, because it was on our lunchdrop program at work. I love Mexican food, but I am sensitive to spicy foods, so I try to be cautious. Taqueria La Vaquita was perfect. I go the carnitas tacos and the meat was juicy and flavorful without being spicy and they had so many options! After trying it, I went in person and got the burrito with carne asada and it was huge, filling, and tasted amazing. This is my new go-to spot every time I want a burrito. Also, the queso is top-tier.

This is my go to spot for authentic Mexican food in Durham, NC. Only has outdoor picnic table seating so it's perfect for a day with pretty weather but the takeout is also a great option. Always speedy and order always correct. Honestly the sides and apps are just okay but the entrees are out of this world. The Enchiladas Poblanos is actually the best thing I've ever eaten not exaggerating. I'd sell my soul for the recipe to that sauce.

The food was flavorless, the chips, salsa and cheese dip were cold, and the guy at the service window was unpleasantly unfriendly. Will not return or recommend.

Taco plate - 3 tacos (2 asada and 1 al pastor). Just ok. One of the asada tacos was dry but the other was really good....strange. Al pastor was just ok. Rice and beans were good. Carnitas torta was average. I felt it needed beans. Carnitas was a little dry. Avocado just lumped in the middle. Overall just lacked flavor. Salsa verde was great. Cucumber lime was delicious. Wish I got the 32 oz. Service was nice and fast. Plenty of outdoor seating.
