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 ordered three tacos for delivery, they were all prepared incorrectly. I also ordered and paid for a drink that was not delivered. I called multiple times but nobody answers and their answering machine is not set up.

My personal favorite spot to warm up before a show in the area. Corn tortillas are legit and made fresh, as they should be! I've eaten almost everything on the lunch and dinner menu and it is all fantastic. If you are unsure, order the al pastor.

The best guac I've had at a restaurant!! We sat at the bar, and the bartender was very attentive. Love the inside vibes as well.

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 you're a taco enthusiast or just looking for a fantastic dining experience in Austin, Vaquero Taquero is the place to be. I'll definitely be returning for more of those delicious breakfast tacos and the warm hospitality!

I've been to Vaquero a handful of times, and while it's not my first choice of tacos in Austin, after last night's visit I realized that they are really good tacos and maybe I should go more often. They're in Downtown, so it's a bit of a pain to get parking if you're trying to go there. If you do that, go on a Monday or Tuesday night when parking is free after 6pm. Staff is always really friendly, and the venue hosts events like open mikes and what not.

I really enjoyed the tacos I had here! Great beer on tap. The guy working here explained to me what some of the things in the menu are & I was able to order some fantastic food. Would highly recommend.

I have been in Austin for a mini vacation and finally was able to get authentic Mexican food. The chicken and nopales tacos were yummy. I got the melted cheese added to the chicken taco. The corn tortillas are homemade and fresh, not like the typical corn tortilla. I would recommend
