Taquería Los Vázquez Llc — Restaurant in Bowling Green

I wanted to update my review because my original review was made about 2 years ago (2021). Myself, along with my family, and now many friends are regulars here. It is my go to spot when we can't decide on a place to eat or if I have a craving for hearty, tasty, comforting, authentic like home Mexican food. We love this place!

(Original Review) Los Vazquez is such a great place to get authentic Hispanic food. It is locally/family owned, and the staff is small enough to become familiar with you after a couple of visits. The food is fresh and mostly cooked to order, so if you don't have time to sit, calling ahead is the best option. They have a pick up window which has been very useful during these recent changes. The best deal is their family tray, which is an awesome option if you want to try a few different things, and need to feed the family. The tray is plenty of food for a family of 4, but we usually get one or two other items because we love everything on the menu. The owners and all the employees are always very nice and take time to explain each item if it is something I've never heard of, I've seen other peoples reviews that said food was missing, but I can not imagine anyone at Los Vazquez not making this right if the customer just mentioned that there was an issue.

Came here for lunch on a recommendation. It was very crowded but everything was great.

Started w chips & salsa. Both are made in house and the salsa is served hot (as in temperature). Tomato based w fresh pico (I’d never had salsa served cooked/hot). It was delicious.

Tacos: barbacoa, al pastor, carne asada Barbacoa had been recommended by friend and was perfectly seasoned and succulent. Al pastor was pretty good I’d say average. The carne asada was dry and flavor was lacking. I didn’t finish that taco.

Pupusa: calabaza y queso Ordered two because the first one was so good. Finely shredded zucchini and spices with delicious cheese inside. The cabbage/vinegar garnishment tasted bland, was lacking in flavor.

Service: Server Maria was wonderful. She was friendly and helpful.

Atmosphere: No frills whatsoever but food and service is what you go for. Liked the Mexican music station and the Spanish tv channel. Restaurant, including restroom was clean and organized.

Will return and definitely...

Recently reopened to walk-in traffic, which I prefer. I ordered a tortas, a taco, and a pupusa. I waited 15 minutes, because they prepare everything at time of order, sat in my car, and made a pig of myself. I save the pupusa for last because I had never seen or heard of such a thing before and I wanted to be able to eat it with my appetite assuaged. That pupusa was delicious! These people have been here a while, and why it took so long to get here is logistical, I just don't come this way. I now want to make it a point to go out of my way to...
