Las Vaquitas Mexican Food — Restaurant in Derby

The margarita flight was a delightful surprise! Each drink was expertly crafted, and I particularly enjoyed the unique flavors. The salsa was a standout, with chunky, flavorful ingredients that perfectly complemented the chips. The service was attentive and efficient. While the atmosphere was generally pleasant, our table's location near a hallway and a nearby fan made it a bit chilly for my liking. However, this was a minor issue, and the overall dining experience was excellent.

2nd go- Big Improvement! Went back and it was way better this time! Last time, the table wasn't my fave, and the construction nearby didn't help. But the remodel? Huge difference! We had a big group and our reserved table was ready, even though it was packed. The staff was awesome - super friendly and on top of everything. Food came out fast, and my steak fajita quesadilla was amazing. Still obsessed with their chunky salsa. And I really liked that they didn't auto-add gratuity for our big group. They earned every bit of the tip! Definitely recommend this place.

Not sure which trip we are on now! If you like "hot", you are in for a new addiction if you ask for their hot sauce. We couldn't stop and now we are known for ordering it by the quart. Today, we bought 2 quarts. YUM! The food, drinks, service, and friendliness is above all here!...

We were less than impressed. My family of 3 came in for dinner. We got sat but then instead of getting us our drink order or anything, the woman chatted with a table whom was already there. From what it sounded like, she knew them personally. About 10 minutes after we were sat, she brought chips/salsa. Never asked for our drinks. We were there another 10 minutes before she offered to get us drinks. But she had plenty of time to chat with the other table. By the time she took our drink order, we had plenty of time to look at the menu. We ordered food when she took our drink order in fear we would have to wait another half hour for her to return, all the while 3 more tables had come and she had taken their drink and food order. Seems to forget the booths that we were sat at. I got my plate, with no silverware on the table, my husband then got his food, still no silverware. And the young woman whom brought the food we asked for more water and silverware rolled her eyes when we asked for it. After all of that, we barely ate our food and got our ticket. We didn't really enjoy our meal at that point. I felt like I had to beg 2 employees for help. We went and tried but...

Diamond Review This place got an upgraded review. This restaurant is family owned and operated. It has so many things going right. I just had to rave about it. ProTip: ALWAYS ask what they have on the Specialty Menu for the day! This kind of a hole in the wall restaurant. It is smaller. It is consistently busy though! It is very clean. The servers are so friendly, sweet, and good with their service. The food is plated beautifully! They make it look like something you want to eat. The taste of everything was really great! Their chips and salsa are fresh. If you are not a cilantro fan, you may not be too keen on the salsa. Their queso is tasty. The Tacos Valle with the charro beans are chef's kiss DELICIOUS! The owner buys the corn tortillas fresh from Texas. The meats are seasoned to perfection. The charro beans are phenomenal! One thing that is a must try here...The Horchata! It is hands down the best I've ever had! Special extra bonus...If you have leftovers to bring home, they give you the cutest, little to go bag ever! It has their adorable cow logo on it! I absolutely loved it! Do NOT sleep on this place! 💯...
