Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

It is like eating at my sister-in laws without having to do the dishes. My favorite is the polo as-ado burro!

HORRIBLE!!! Went through the drive thru with a friend and ordered the pollo platter, when I got home I had discovered a black long hair in my food. Took it back and got something else. This was the first time is ever been there, and I will not be going back.

This place is seriously lacking in ambiance.. I know it's a restaurant, and I should first be commenting on the food, but the inside of the place was so offensive I have to start there.... Black mold on the ceiling. Flies EVEEYWHERE. Meat sitting around at room temperature in plain view. My husband loves this place, so I didn't feel like pitching a fit and succumbed to eating there, seated right under the moldy ceiling. The food was okay. For a place that prides itself on carne asada, it was absolutely standard run of the mill Mexican dive food. The one perk, the portions are huge. But it's not like you actually have the desire to eat all that mediocre food. The service: probably passable if you speak Spanish. If you don't... Well be prepared for your order to be wrong. I won't go back here. It was disgusting. But I'm sure there are a couple loyal followers that will keep the nasty place open.

Lunch is served! Very nice place to pick up fast mexican food
(5)Francis S.
Foods quality is good the atmosphere is not that we'll appreciated. :) 1 advice. = drive through then eat it at home.
(4)RP Y.
This place is so sketchy in terms of the way it looks. I've only been through the drive thru, because I only feel safe staying in my car with my gun. The ordering speaker looks like the old school drive - in microphones, and they NEVER quote you your price until you arrive at the window. The food is decent, if you're prepared to reserve a toilet within 45min of eating it. Nothing special... Perfect for breakfast burritos or a fast fix
(3)Amberly B.
This place definitely qualifies as a hole in the wall. The food is cheap and delish. I've never been inside and I'm just fine with that. The less I know the better, hence the 3 stars. I don't eat here often, but when I do it's yummy and fills my tummy. I don't choose this place for the ambiance. It's about the food. My husband has tried a few of their burritos and is always pleased. I always get the carne asada french fries and they are so good! Don't let what it looks like on the outside drive you away; give Vaqueros a try!
(3)Scott H.
This place looks horrible from the outside however once the food is in your mouth you forget all about the appearance. The breakfast burritos are heavy as newborn infants and are the perfect end to a night of heavy drinking.
(4)Elizabeth V.
The drive thru is supper Dirty and the ppl there are Rude ! They don't even say thanxs or a smile . There are also tons of flys there !!!
(1)Aneka S.
The cashier don't understand you and the order was messed up. Plus they forgot my sour cream and when the cook was dipping it that all looked at me smiling like he put something in it. Never again will I eat there. Will be reporting this.
(1)Dana B.
My husband thought the carne asada was tender and flavorful. Sizes were generous and prices were reasonable.
(4)Brandy J.
Nothing special. The fish tacos are ok, while the pork carnitas is greasy and not good. The chips are unremarkable. The food just didn't taste fresh. I see no reason to return.
(2)Norm R.
Be aware that when you order their signature Carne Asada Fries, you should be VERY hungry. Even though it's really good - lots of well-seasoned meat, guacamole, sour cream and shredded cheese on top of a generous serving of fries - you will probably not be able to finish it. The serving is that humongous; it can feed three people. This small eatery offers lots of combinations and items at low prices. Definitely no fancy atmosphere, but lots of choices and generous servings of good food at low prices make this place a winner,

It's been quite some time since I've been here given the fact I no longer live down the street from this joint. I've been coming here even before it was Vaqueros so I know they've been doing something right to stick around this long. The old days of Vaqueros featured cheaper eats with monster size portions. So when pulling up and seeing that the prices have gone up a bit I was disappointed only to wonder if their portion size went in the opposite direction like most Mexican fast food joints (I.E filibertos). I ordered the usual of Super Nachos and a California Burro. I brought it home to my dad and daughter. I opened the bag up and what do you know, a big monster burro sat there along with a tray of Super Nachos packed to the top! I was once again reminded why I come here when in need for a good Mexican fix! Yes, the prices have gone up but what hasn't these days. I will say this, if you are the owner of this joint I highly recommend doing some remodeling of the property. This place looks even worse than before and I can see many potential customers deciding not to pull in based on looks. Clean this place up and your business will thrive even more. Otherwise, eat up people! It's worth the price of admission! 5 stars for food, -1 for appearance.

I think their name should be Vaqueros Grande Burritos As our burritos were HUGE. We stopped in after a hike, inside is reasonably nice all things considered. There is a free chips and salsa bar allays a huge plus and a decent menu. I went for a $4.35 vegetarian burrito, it was a mix of just about every non meat ingredients a place like this has, cheese, lettuce guacamole sour cream etc. It was a bit messy to eat and the sour cream made it quite rich. The salsa/ hot sauce here is great smooth and quite spicy. Stop in grab a burrito and be full.
(4)Jamie L.
4 out of 10 times they got our order right, but it's still not bad. Love the breakfast and the chicken cheese and rice burritos
(3)Charles H.
I can't high rate the restaurant. Why. All I get are carne asada fries. Don't get me wrong they are good but not five star good. What equals out the the rating is the portion you are given. It is really enough for 2-3 people for 7.50! Damn good price to me. Drive thru service is quick. Downside is you can't see the inside of the joint, so this may be an off review but take as you may. Hands down though you will want to order some carne asada fries.
(3)Tito F.
I totally disagree Vaqueros is better than Federico's. The food at Vaqueros is insipid flat and greasy.
(2)Cj N.
Tried this place out and the food was ok, what concerned me was the cleanliness of the kitchen. The floor was really dirty, under the burners or stove seemed to have months of grease buildup etc. 50c extra to use debit or credit card btw.
(2)Iyana J.
My kids LOVE this place. The burritos and servings are HUGE! My kiddies love the super nachos, rolled tacos and the carne asada fries. 3 of us can all share one meal, lol sometimes. Dont think your gonna be able to eat a burrito solo. I tried it once with a breakfast burrito and didnt even make it half way before the "itis" had me falling asleep at work! Never again, lol.
(5)Chheng L.
Their burritos are HUGE!! Almost the size of my forearm! But bigger is not always better. It's slightly above all the -bertos places but I've definitely had better. The carne asada just didn't do it for me. I like my asada with nice grilled marks and I didn't find that here. Also, their salsas were boring; it was watered down and no substance. I've tried some of the Chorizo here before and that was pretty good. And I've heard the menudo was excellent, but I'm not a fan of menudo so that doesn't suffice. From what I've read it looks like the Carne Asada fries are the business, which I might give a try the next time I roll through the drive-thru.

I normally get my breakfast burrito from Salsitas on Central, but decided to give this place a shot as I've read some fantastic reviews... Unfortunately, their ham, cheese, and egg burrito left much to be desired. I love drenching my burrito in salsa and their salsa had little flavor, taste, or spice. The burrito was large, but 90% of it was ham with little egg or cheese.. and about halfway through I bit into an eggshell. Save yourself a $1 and drive a mile down the road for better taste all-around if you're looking for a bomb breakfast burrito.

Stopped there for lunch today and ordered a carne asada burrito and it was DISGUSTING. I took one bite and had to immediately spit it out. The meat in the burrito had gone bad. I don't mean that it simply didn't taste good, I mean that the meat was SPOILED. I am not a picky person and don't complain when the food isn't good, I just don't go back, but I decided to tell the cashier. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when she told me "And what do you want me to do about it?" WiTH A ATTITUDE. I asked her to take it to the cook and he gave me attitude, as if it were my fault they served food that was spoiled. Needless to say I am never going back and would definitely not recommend this place. I gave it one star because the app does not allow you to post your comment without a rating.

Favorite mexican in town, best value too. 12 rolled tacos piled high for $6. Best Chili Relleno burritos! Muy bueno
(5)Joseph S.
While I was eating, a coach roach ran across my table! I immediately stopped eating and threw it in the trash and left disgusted.
(1)Jeromy H.
Norm R. and I just had ourselves a mini UYE and He suggested we share an order of the Carne Asada Fries. We both ate till full. For $6.50 =) I cleaned the plate.. Thanks Norm R. for turning me on to this place! This was a Mexican / American hybrid something like Chili Cheese Fries I have had at one of my favorite greasy American burger joints.... Only Waaaaaaaay way way . . Better!!!

Best Carne Asada Fries. I've tasted Filiberto's and it can't even hold a candle to Vaquero's Carne Asada fries. I didn't know well-cooked fries topped with a humungous amount of meat, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese could be heaven on earth. One $7 take-out box could feed 4 people easily. I always make sure to bring a box home if I ever have guests and they usually end up loving it equally - or more so than me. I've recently discovered this hole-in-the-wall and honestly, I've been coming back at least twice a month since then. It'll satisfy all your authentic Mexican food cravings especially since they're open 24 hrs!

Ah, the old adage, "if you see a [insert ethnic minority] eating in a [same ethnic minority] restaurant, then you KNOW it must be good." While this is true, and especially in the case of Vaqueros, this burrito joint is the type of place that can dissolve racial discrimination and bring all the colors of the planet together under one orange and yellow striped world, where the rivers flow with beans and cheese, the mountains are heaps of carne asada, the trees harvested as flautas, and the raindrops on your tongue taste like freshly made red salsa. Seriously. Their asada burritos are filled with insanely large portions of meat and guac. Their rolled tacos have a heap of cheese and guac and their red sauce is perfect for dipping. I've even had their breakfast burritos which are PACKED with eggs, bacon, and cheese. If they could put it in a can, it could be packaged as a hangover cure and possibly the antidote for bird flu. I also dig on their churros, which are not made in-house, but dammit, they are delicious anyway. I usually get the strawberry-filled and afterwards I feel like i have violated the Geneva Convention for war crimes against my body. Oh, they also mention on their signage that they are open 24 horas, but I'll never know because I'd never jaunt down here to this part of hood armed with only a lengua burrito.

Always here for their California burritos... The burritos are huge and can be easily shared by two people. Their jalapeno and carrots are somethin I havent seen at other similar places, id recommend it if you,re lookin for some heat! The drive thru service is fast and friendly. I have seen they did remodel the inside seating and does not look as,roughed up as before... There is a drawback when using your card to pay- 50¢ addtl charge, which shud b done away with.

Vaqueros started off as a late night recommendation for a good breakfast burrito; I had been craving a burrito all day and through the night. Well, when the morning came we went along to Vaquero's as suggested. As soon as I saw the place, I knew that I was going to be in for a treat. I love myself a little dive and Vaquero's is just that. Quantities are large and prices are small, very small. I took on their breakfast burrito and added carne asada to it. It was one of the biggest burritos that I have ever encountered, but I wasn't discouraged, just hungry. Bite by bite I introduced that flour tortilla wrapped masterpiece to my taste buds until it all rested together happily in my stomach. I was full...really full. I was also extremely ecstatic for getting exactly what I was craving. Vaqueros is definitely one of the better Mexican places that I've been to in Phoenix. There are so many that it is hard to choose sometimes, but if I'm around South Phoenix and I'm craving some cheap Mexican food, I'll probably be heading over to this place.

Delicious carne asada! Lost a star because the tables outside are in terrible condition and the music was way too loud to consider eating inside.
(4)Fernando P.
The value for the money is worth the visit, its cheap, really cheap compared to the sheer amount of food you get in their burritos, but its some greasy food, u best be in the mood for it, it leaks from the bottom by the hand full, buuuuut some people actually like that, like me!
(4)Christine J.
My husband and I tried this place for lunch the other day and were really impressed. The portions were humongous, and the prices were very reasonable given the portion size (and quality!). You know, sort of like Applebee's current "right portion, right price" promotion, except that at Vaqueros, the portions make you feel like you're getting a lot of real value for your money. The decor is no-frills, but the woman working at the register was super-friendly, and the free salsa bar with pickled carrots and chips was a great way to start our lunch. I had the carnitas (~$7.50) and my husband had the burro/enchilada combo plate ($6.50). The carnitas weren't as savory as the ones I've had elsewhere (Los Dos Molinos is a good example), but they were seasoned well and came with some of the best rice and beans I've ever had. My husband's seasoned beef (in the burro) was also not intensely fllavorful but was still decent. His enchilada was a real standout; the sauce had just the right amount of chile flavor and spice and the cheese was perfectly gooey - not soggy, not congealed. We wished we had forgone things with meat and just ordered 6 cheese enchiladas as our meal! Overall, though, we were definitely impressed with the food and would definitely return. Just as an FYI - they do take credit cards but charge a transaction fee ($.50) so you might want to just bring cash. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention - they have a drive-thru!

Carne asada fries are better than filli b's.
