This place...wow. I have some pretty high expectations of Mexican Food especially being from LA. All these fast food crap holes that end in Bertos have really given me a bad impression of how Arizona does Mexican food. In fact, if it wasn't for places like Tacos Huicho and even Tacos mich on a good day, I'd refuse to live here. Those fancy hipster tacos don't cut it either (although occasionally surprisingly fantastic, Presidio Cocina I'm looking at you). This Vaquero location makes my tummy so happy. It's not the best Mexican food in Arizona (that award goes to Tacos Huicho) but it is the epitome of LA Mexican comfort fast food. I first went there because I wanted GOOD Carne Asada fries and I'd been repeatedly dissapointed by everywhere else in Phoenix. They were DANK. Not the best I've had in my life but by far the best in Phoenix. And that real Guac....it should be a requirement for Guac to be chunky and not just green liquid. Then I, for personal reasons, have had to become kind of vegetarian for a while. The idea of a breakfast burrito without bacon or steak seems almost pointless. How the hell they managed to make me love a potato and cheese burrito is beyond me...but they did it.
My only complaint is their salsas kinda suck but I'm mexican so I make my own salsas anyway. Or I buy a container of already made homestyle salsa from Huicho.
