Vaquero Taquero - North University — Restaurant in Austin

Dawn breaks, and with it, the promise of an invigorating start at Vaquero Taquero, an oasis of culinary delight that punctuates the morning with an exclamation of flavor and zest. Here, within this humble sanctuary of sustenance, $3 breakfast tacos are not merely a dish; they are a revelation, a symphony of textures and tastes wrapped in the warm embrace of freshly made tortillas.

Each bite is an exploration into the sublime, where the mundane alchemy of egg, cheese, and chorizo transcends, becoming a mosaic of flavor that dances upon the palate with a vivacity seldom encountered in the realm of morning fare. The chorizo, with its deep, complex spiciness, interweaves with the velvety smoothness of the eggs, creating a tapestry of taste that is both bold and comforting.

But what is a morning feast without the libation of the gods? Vaquero Taquero's drinks with espresso are nothing short of liquid artistry. Each sip of their meticulously crafted espresso carries with it the vigor of a hundred sunrises, a potent nectar that awakens the senses and kindles the spirit. The richness of the coffee, sourced from beans that have journeyed from exotic locales, offers whispers of distant lands and the promise of adventures yet to unfold.

The ambiance of Vaquero Taquero, with its unassuming charm, serves as the perfect backdrop to this morning ritual. It is a place where time seems to slow, allowing for a moment of reflection and appreciation for the simple yet profound joys that life offers.

In sum, Vaquero Taquero does not simply serve breakfast; it curates an experience. An experience where every $3 taco is a masterpiece of flavor, every sip of espresso an invigorating embrace, starting the day not with a mere bang, but with a triumphant symphony of culinary excellence. Here, in this haven of morning delight, one is not only nourished but reborn, ready to face the day with renewed...

I have had a couple of locals recommended Vaquero Taquero to me. I finally tried it and here was my experience.

The tacos themselves were good not great. The tortillas are not freshly made nor especially good.

The Bistca had chunks of fat in with the meat but some people like that. I dont care for jicama on my tacos but it seemed to work with these tacos.

The Al Pastor was very greasy. The flavor was not there and tasted like leftover meat. All in all not very good. I am not going to crave them later.

To be fair I grew up in San Antonio and I am accustomed to delicious, cheap homemade tacos. Austin has very few places that compare.

Here is the bad part. The place is always closed and when open you have to sit on the site if the street on makeshift tables a chairs. So this place is best for drunk college kids who have never had real tacos before.They are $4-5 dollars each it took then about 2 minutes to make then. They were not very hot in temperature. I was given no napkins. The POS card machine was like many here in Austin so as you pay a tab-like scenn is flipped over so you can add a tip. The very first selection was a gratuity of $3 and change. It is like come on. What service are you offering me besides the very very minimum to even make a purchase? It is dishonest to prey off of people who may not be paying attention.

The pictures on Google do not represent what I received so I will add a picture of my $12 plate.

If you are thinking of trying Vaquerro Taquero allow me to recommend Tysons Tacos on Airport, open 24 hours, cheaper prices, and way...

I've been waiting to try this place for years, but somehow it always eluded me. We went for lunch today and I got the Birria, Bistec, and Pastor tacos. The Pastor was supposed to be on corn, but came on flour. Be sure to check your order before leaving. My favorite was the Birria, it was really delicious! It did not come with the consume and so I think you may have to order it separately. My husband, who likes flour tortillas, preferred the Pastor taco. I would order both again but would pass on the Bistec. The guacamole and salsa were a good portion size, but we probably won't order either again because we really did not enjoy the chips. They are the thicker variety that have a really pronounced corn flavor verging on burnt corn. I wish they had the thinner chips. All-in-all, a solid taco place that we will definitely visit again to try a few new things, like the Pollo taco or some of the Quesadillas. The owners are top notch people and we will keep...
