Decent food if you re drunk and it s 2 am. Warning - there are some really drunk Hispanic men who have no boundaries and who keep harassing you to buy them free drinks - I relented and bought these two guys a beer but big mistake - they kept hounding me to buy them more drinks through the night till I left.

This was the best bar on 6th street. They have two stages competing with each other & somehow they never interfered with one another. If youre outside, you cant hear the inside stage & vise versa. Great Times.. Great Food

Brutal. I got a meal to go and ordered guacamole and chips and these people put spicy salsa Verde in tub! Wth. That s not even a normal mistake. It s really hard to mix up guacamole and spicy salsa. So I essentially paid 8 bucks for nothing because I can t even eat it. I either got scammed or it s about the worst mix up in the history of mix ups. P.S I don t eat anything spicy.

I had lunch here during SXSW. You order at the counter and then choose a table on the patio or inside the restaurant. I would not recommend this place to vegetarians or vegan because the beans contain pork. I tried to order the cactus tacos without the cheese sprinkled on top and was told that during SXSW they only offer all toppings or no toppings , they are not able to accommodate any other modifications because it s so busy. I understand this in general, and maybe they are busier at dinner, but they were not busy at the time we were there and only half the tables were full. So that was strange. My husband says the men s bathroom was (surprisingly) clean!

We actually performed live at this restaurant off 6th St. In Austin, our Band is ( The Unselected ) after performing we had dinner all I can truly say is cool little spot and the Quesadilla Beef was so delicious I had to come back with some friends to eat there again and my friends loved it also. Home made tortillas were the best I have tasted in a long long time..... I will definitely be going back . ..

I recently visited Vaquero Taquero in downtown Austin, Texas, and it was an absolute delight! The ambiance was vibrant, and the menu offered a variety of tempting options. What truly stood out were the incredible tacos I tried several, but the breakfast taco stole the show! The flavors were fresh, and the ingredients were top-notch, making it a must-try. Moreover, I must commend the outstanding service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy delicious tacos while soaking in the local vibe. If youre a taco enthusiast or just looking for a fantastic dining experience in Austin, Vaquero Taquero is the place to be. Ill definitely be returning for more of those delicious breakfast tacos and the warm hospitality!

First time here - My best friend and I came for the Tacos of Texas event. The tacos were delicious. I loved the chicken tacos - the flavor was great, and I loved the pickled onions on top. I also had one of the beef tacos. It was also very good, but I preferred the chicken. Id definitely eat here again. Id loved to try their breakfast tacos sometime.

Attention !!!! This restaurant takes advantage of your average English to rip you off. We are a family of 8 French people, we only ordered 8 tacos. The waiter brings us 8 plates of 3 tacos, he quickly explains something to us and leaves without us being able to ask him to repeat. When the bill came, he charged us for 24 tacos (8 plates x 3 tacos)!!!! The score is tripled!!!! His response is ready you ate everything, you had to tell me Even the customer next door saw that he was scamming us!!!

Its hands down my favorite taco place in all of Austin. Each taco costs between $4 and $5 but it is worth it because they are well served (good quantity). You will eat the best taco al pastor here. I usually accompany the tacos with a cocktail: I have tried several and the truth is that they are also very delicious. Go to taquero vaquero if you want to eat delicious food without waste.

Loyal customer but not anymore Food is usually good but on this particular day, I was most certainly unhappy. They need figure out the parking in this location and the customer service or else they will lose a lot of customers. I paid for my food online and I had a set time for it to be ready and picked up. When I get there, The parking at this location is entirely full so I parked directly across the parking lot. You do have to pay to park there but I was only picking up so I didn t think it was a big deal (somewhat my mistake I guess). I walk inside and my food was not ready and the person who made the food didn t bother to give me my food. He just left it behind the counter by the register while I m sitting there standing for them to give me and bag my food. I had to ask someone to bring me my food AGAIN! When they gave me my food, it was cold. When I walk out, MY CAR WAS BOOTED! My car was booted immediately after walking inside this place to pick up (2 minutes to be exact). I have come to this location MANY MANY times to pick up and this is the first time I have experienced this. I m way too upset to come back to this location anymore. Not fair to pay to pick up food due to limited parking. I m pretty sure it was the employees parking there because only two customers were inside.

I was very happy because I was finally going to eat at this place that I saw on Instagram which has many good photos and the truth is the service was terrible, they dont even have formal dishes... the price is high for what they offer for food. They didnt give us cutlery or napkins, much less water. Nothing to do with the advertising they offer on social media.

A great place to hold this experience, and staff was helpful letting us know where to go & supporting our host during the event. @Romezcal on Insta to check her out!

Wow. I needed a quick bite and really lucked out that they were open for lunch. The nopales taco was so good I barely got any - my kids kept asking for another bite. I look forward to returning! Vegetarian options: I really appreciate that the meat-free option is a legit option at least as good as the al pasto taco. The nopales was my kids favorite, too.

First time here. The person who took my order was nice. I ordered the breakfast taco egg, potato, cheese. It was very good and full. Then I ordered the bistek taco, wrong choice, it was nothing but fat in the taco maybe 1/4 meat. Disgusting and felt robbed. Stick with the breakfast tacos. Also, beware their debit machine they use to charge your card takes a 10 dollar holding fee and the server said it gets refunded the next day. So well see, but that seems a little weird for them to do that.

Got a vegetarian taco and a pork taco. Both for $4 and a Modelo. The food was delicious and fast and I ended up getting a chicken taco with my second Modelo. I was the only one there at 8pm but by 8:30 it picked up. The bartender was friendly and chatty but not overly so. One star off for the delay in response after sitting down (it was empty so bartender probably didn t see/hear me) and the vagrant outside asking for money, but maybe that s just Austin. I would DEFINITELY come back here if I was in the area!

There needs to be better security here and more servers to provide better clarity on how to order food. Also how does it make sense that I have to make an alcoholic order inside if I want to eat and drink outside. On top of the above I didnt want to be inside because area stunk like mold as if they were cleaning with an old mop.

No flavor, terrible service, not worth it at all. Additionally, they were somewhat rude when serving, we didnt say anything to them but hey, we wont even come back as a joke.

Such good tacos. This place has been at this location since September of last year. I came to Austin for the first time and got a lot of recs for taco joints, which only 1/4 was still in business. I loved the cactus tacos. Homemade soft shells (fresh) and great spice. Lots of cilantro. Didnt skimp on the ingredients! And a good margarita too!!!

We stumbled upon their other location on lazy Saturday afternoon when taco deli had a hella long line. Since then, we ve had vaquero in heavy rotation. Always top notch, pretty dang speedy too. The piña agua fresca is one of my faves in the city for something refreshing with the Texan heat. My partner is from San Antonio so we appreciate their tortillas are flavorful and soft. (Corn and flour) Also, it s pretty affordably priced which is saying something in Austin. My only gripe is that they re not open on Sundays cause it s a prime brunch food option but I get it, they have to have a weekend too. Keep it up!

First off, this is a family owned establishment with family recipes. Equally important is the quality - fresh tortillas, pastor al trompo, a selection of flavorful salsas and quesadillas that give you that gooey, string trail of queso when you bite into them. Throw in an agua fresca, beer and/or margarita and youve got an amazing meal to kick off and/or end the night. I will gladly support the Vaquero bros and their passion for keeping authentic Mexican food kicking in Austin. Ive been customer since their truck on Duval and am proud to see them expand...though I must admit, being a loyal supporter is easy when the food is this good.

Vaquero Taquero is the official independent Austin Taco place. It s got authentic Mexican flavor from authentic Mexicans. As an extra bonus, they cater to vegans/vegetarians as well. Something for everyone!

My absolute favorite tacos in town. I would snack on their plain corn tortillas all day long if I could. And the nopales quesadilla is the best (non-egg) vegetarian taco around, IMHO.

This is some homegrown Austin goodness as a local I love seeing businesses like this thrive! Way to uphold the culture guys. I have loved them since they were a window on speedway feeding me through the pandemic with the best breakfast tacos, handmade tortillas and delicious salsa. You can t go wrong.

Best tacos in Austin. Loved the old location, but the new one is even better with seating, music, and drinks on tap! Try the special mango-mezcal margarita... Half mango, half mezcal. You wont be disappointed. The quesadillas are incredible with the grilled cheese on fresh made tortillas; al pastor, tinga de pollo, birria, and mushroom (when available) are my favourites. Any friend visiting Austin who wants to try some great tacos, I take here. Also great for a pregame before going bar hopping downtown!

We had the pleasure of playing there at the end of February. Very kind to stop the door for me to lower the battery. At the end of the show, I was going to pay for my tacos and fresh water, and the person who served me was very generous in not charging me. The tacos and drink were excellent. I will definitely return as a client and, if we are invited, as a musician. Greetings .

Cannot get enough of these tacos & quesadillas. Ordering here is tough because everything is SO GOOD! ! I love the nopales quesadilla on corn and the rajas taco on flour for a solid vegetarian situation, but that Al pastor is also something to write home about. Don t sleep on the charro beans! They re perfect!

Everything in the menu is delicious, breakfast tacos and costras are my fav, they make their own homemade tortillas, which is super rare to find in Austin. Homemade tortillas + true Mexican flavor= one of the best tacos in Austin!! (their best taco award Can Back up these statements) The staff is super attentive and friendly. I m a regular customer and every time I have the best time, it never disappoints.

Seriously the best tacos in Austin. I think about their al pastor on a daily basis and my mouth waters up every time. The folks that work there are also incredibly sweet and provide the best service. If you re looking for some down to earth tacos with incredible flavor Vaquero Taquero is the place to be.
