As best I can tell, this is the last remaining "cow store" in Durham--now a "taqueria." Good food. Great order ahead ability. Really tasty mole. Nice taco platters.
Not your average run-of-the-mill Mexican place. Don't let the hole-in-the-wall look fool you. It is super tasty and authentic Mexican cuisine. The parking situation is...less than ideal...but it's worth it for the many delicious offerings. See the large plastic cow standing proudly atop their roof? Hit the brakes and jump out for a unique (in a good way) dining experience.
Good true Mexican food at fair prices. I had enchiladas poblanas with chicken and mole. Generous portion. There's no indoor seating, so prepare to sit outdoors. Although there are some covered seats, it can get quite hot sitting outdoors.
Everything was amazing, they were super busy but the food came out fast and was delicious. I got the Birria tacos and they were juicy, messy, and so yummy! My friend had the steak tacos and ordered the birrias to go (they were SO GOOD!) Everything was fresh, salsas were so great. Can't wait to be back in Durham to go here again!
This place is the best! I usually get the asada quesadilla and it is always hot and delicious. The tomatillo sauce is tangy and adds a little bit of heat to anything you add it to. The wait time is fantastic for delicious, made-to-order food, usually around 7-10 minutes. I highly recommend this spot!!
Authentic. Delicious. Affordable. Three words that describe this amazing taqueria! I was told about this spot from a friend and said it is a must visit and it so is. Taqueria La Vaquita is tiny meaning if you blink you will miss this gem on the corner. The gem is a larger trailer with two windows and menus on the outside detailing all the goodness they have going on inside. There is outside seating, but they have to go options as well.I decided to get three tacos with all beans and chips and salsa. The three tacos I got was the Pollo, al pastor, and beef. Wow!! The tacos are small, but pack a lot of flavor in each bite. The meat is grilled to perfection with the cilantro, cabbages, and onions making a great side appearance as well. They give you just enough food to satisfy and a little left over to fill that satisfaction again! And for only $13?!? Yes!!Such a great go to spot!! A must while in the Durham area!
Really good pork and chorizo tacos. Also amazing chicken tamales.
Amazing food & fast too! The guac & carne tacos were my favorite ?
Love this place! Has authentic Mexican food, none of that Tex Mex food. All Gorditas and tortillas are handmade.I've had the burrito, tacos, gorditas and pupusas and they're all delicious. If you come around lunch time on the weekend expect to wait since there can be a line and everything is made fresh.They only have outdoor seating and they do deliver. The food still tastes amazing even when delivered. This is my go-to Mexican Spot.
The picnic table is a good feature since nobody in Durham seems to be concerned about COVID. Excellent food
