La Vaca is where to go for incredible Mexican cuisine! I'm addicted to their pupusas, birria tacos, and steak tacos so I don't venture far from these dishes. They are literal perfection! I also love the Jamaica tea. My husband was pleased with the chicken burrito, which was mild in flavor compared to say birria flavors. More importantly, visit this place and spread the word, 1.50 tacos on taco Tuesday!!!

Went for lunch on a Saturday with a group of 7--four adults, a teen, and two children--and had an absolutely fantastic experience! I ordered the Shrimp Chimichanga dish, and it was amazing! It came with rice, beans, and a salad, and every bite was perfection. I also tried a side of pupusa, and wow--it was just as delicious! The dipping sauces were the perfect complement. Everyone in our group raved about their meals, from the adults to the kids, which says a lot! Even the iced tea stood out--it wasn't overly sweet, just perfectly refreshing. The prices were great, the service was excellent, and the entire experience was simply wonderful. Hands down, the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in a long time. I can't recommend it enough and will definitely be back with more friends and family!

So glad I finally checked this place out! I ordered the pozole and it was so good! I did get it to-go, as well as some horchata, which was also delicious. The staff were so sweet and welcoming! I'm looking forward to going again and trying their tacos or a torta!

Tried out La Vaca for lunch for their $1.50 taco Tuesday special. The service was great, our waitress was very nice and super attentive. Obviously we came for the cheap tacos but we ended up trying way more. Overall the food was great. The horchata was delicious (they have the best ice), the complimentary chips and salsa were warm and had the perfect amount of salt, the guac was very fresh and the tacos were good. I ordered the chicken tacos with no cilantro and onion and instead topped mine with the rice, beans, salsa and guac. We didn't care for the cheese dip much. It had a mayonnaise-like taste to it that was off putting. Note: I didn't see any of the sides or prices listed on their menu. I had to ask the waitress if they had queso, guacamole, rice and beans etc and went in blind with the pricing. Thankfully they were reasonably priced $5 and under. I think they should add those options to the menu to make it clear they offer those additions. Also didn't see any desserts on the menu. I was so full but if you tempt me with a churro I'd definitely eat one or two. Overall we spent about $40. 2 chicken tacos, rice, beans, queso, guac, 1 horchata and 1 order of the taquitos. I'd come back here to eat again.

After seeing lots of hype, we decided to give La Vaca a try, and we were not disappointed! From fire music choice to fiery sauce, it was a great choice to celebrate our marriage proposal anniversary! Sodas are sold by the can, or they have Jarritos in bottles and homemade drink options. And, they have that good crunchy ice! I ordered the Quesabirria tacos and they were served with beef consommé, chopped onions and cilantro. DELICIOUS! The meat was tender, well cooked, seasoned, and just good eats. The rice was well cooked and flavorful, as well as the refried beans. The salsa isn't chunky, but very flavorful and mild as far as spice level. My husband got the combination fajitas and really enjoyed them. He chose the flour tortillas and they were good as well. The guacamole was made fresh to order and was very good. We really liked the chips as they were thick and crunchy, and not salty. The salsas bright with the meal was a salsa verde -mild, and what I believe is a habanero sauce-spicy, but flavorful. They also had Texas Pete and Valentino on the tables. I will definitely be back...probably tomorrow, because they do $1.49 Taco Tuesday! The server was great! Kind and attentive! Just get there and get some great food! And, they serve breakfast!
