Yelp.com Review - by Amanda T.

4.0 of 5 stars. I had passed this place a million times (how can you miss the large blue cow on top?) but so glad I decided to stop. Hands down, the best tacos in Durham. Love the atmosphere - you order at the...

Yelp.com Review - by Katy T.

5.0 of 5 stars. The only thing wrong with this place is I didn't discover it until I moved away! It's reminiscent of Mexico without the fear of contracting E.coli. I got the fish tacos which were exquisite. Homemade...

Yelp.com Review - by Kendall G.

4.0 of 5 stars. A very good taqueria with a great atmosphere. The modesty of this place, including the picnic tables and the large cow sculpture on top make the tacos even more enjoyable. As others have mentioned,...

Yelp.com Review - by Albert Y.

3.0 of 5 stars. When I first started going here, I was very disappointed compared to my personal favorite taqueria (Los Comales) but over time, I've found a few dishes and items here that are kicka**. The tamales...

Yelp.com Review - by rachel k.

5.0 of 5 stars. If I had only one meal for the rest of my life to eat it would be a carnitas burrito from Taquiera La Vaquita. This little stand is the most amazing taqueria in the area. The carnitas burrito with...

Yelp.com Review - by Kun P.

4.0 of 5 stars. Situated across from Four Square, this little establishment is hard to miss. The parking space is situated a little awkward, but pretty much self-explanatory. Ring bell, place your orders, and sit...

Yelp.com Review - by john h.

5.0 of 5 stars. I don't think you can miss at this place. It is amazing. Carnitas as mentioned are outstanding, but my favorite is the lengua. But I was especially surprised by the seafood they do. Camarones diablo...

Modest little diamond of original unique Mexican foods!

Delicious! Sopes, tacos, tortas, or tostadas stuffed with your choice of meat: I've tried barbacoa ("barbecued" beef, get the close translation), pastor (marinated pork), chorizo (pork sausage), pollo (theirs...

Yelp.com Review - by Nick L.

5.0 of 5 stars. My favorite taqueria in Durham, alongside Los Comales. Their carnitas burrito with smoky salsa roja may be my favorite burrito ever. I recently got turned on to the platillos. I shied away from...

Fresh Food on the Cheap

This is a great little taco stand which is very reasonably priced. I would recommend the vegetarian burrito- it has huge chunks of fresh avacado in it. My husband's bbq beef burrito was a bit dry however....

Yelp.com Review - by Ben M.

5.0 of 5 stars. I've only been here twice, but trust me when I say that I'll be back often. I love being greeted by the cow on the roof, who stares across the street to a fancy and expensive restaurant defiantly...

Yelp.com Review - by Rachel M.

5.0 of 5 stars. This place basically sustained me through finals. Get the Mole Pablano, which has a nice smoky flavor, or the barbacoa torta. It's quick, flavorful, and beats On The Border any day.

Excellent walk up taco stand

Easily the most identifiable taqueria in Durham because there's a COW on the ROOF!!! Definitely worth stopping, yummy tortas and tacos, mole poblano to die for (not too sweet, not too spicy), and fabulous...

Yelp.com Review - by Caroline Z.

4.0 of 5 stars. Reminiscent of the pig at Crook's Corner (or the flying cow from Monty Python), Taqueria La Vaquita has a big cow on its roof - so it's really hard to miss this place. I just got takeout from there,...

Excellent Mexican Food

Located in a small orange building with a cow on a roof, it is difficult to miss as you drive by -- and it is well worth a stop. Their menu offers a wide range of items -- from tasty burritos and tacos to a...
