    Carne Asada tacos
    Txgirl M.

    Be careful getting the rice here the last few times I've been the rice tasted undercooked.

    Needed a quick meal for lunch because Braum's didn't begin serving lunch until 10:30a.m. I ordered the taco dorados meal for $8.00, which was decent. The beans and rice was AWESOME!!! Light and fluffy rice and the beans were creamy and flavorful. The taco roll-up were chicken...crispy but not much flavor. But the customer service, location and beans and rice gave this meal the 4 stars.

    Excellent portion. Tortilla wrap was great. Loved the mustard looking salad it had lots of heat but not over powering. I got the lengua burrito. A little too much refried beans and not enough kengua. Prices are great along with the portions.

    Have I said how much I love having food trucks in Watauga Texas? This taco gem recently made its way to my fine city, and they are throwing down some serious food that tastes just like I remember tacos in Baja tasting. Their Al Pastor is spot on, and Sopes are just like my friends used to make. Their Horchata is made fresh in house, and not from a package. Lighter on the rice side, and more on the cinnamon - A-Maz-Ing. They have several great salsa options and temps, and the staff is super friendly. Seriously, go get your Gordito Chon on Ya'll.

    It's amazing friendly people I couldn't decide on what kinda pork to go with on my Torta so they let me sample, I chose carnitas with mustard rubbed in...Dang it was good, had some green and red salsa , the red had some kick, and flavor the green was mild and complimented the mustard perfectly for me. Outstanding service and flavorful food reasonable prices I'll be back

    The sauces are full of flavor and compliment the already unbelievably tasty food. Tacos, tortas, traditional Mexican dishes, you can't go wrong! Without a doubt one the best TRUE MEXICAN spots in the area; clean, quick and excellent customer service. Bring tips! These guys deserve them!

    Greasy chorizo quesadilla
    Alexandrea R.

    barbacoa was really fatty left a thick coating in my mouth. chorizo quesadilla was not good and the whole tortilla was orange from all the grease. Red salsa was good but kind of watery. Only thing that I really enjoyed was the horchata and it would have been better if it was cold and not room temperature.

    so good. 10/10 recommend!!! They offer drinks and an array of meats, with amazing salsa red and green. It's a cute date spot to chill and eat tacos in your car together. The service is great, they speak English and Spanish, and are always so fast with your food.

    Good, fast and friendly! The food is great! Coming back to try the tortas!! Great tacos!

    In order from left to right, chicharron, azada, pollo, chorizo with red and green salsa

    This was my first time here and I will definitely be back for more!! The lady who took my order was polite and I didn't have to wait long for my food at all. I ordered 4 tacos (chicharron, azada, pollo, chorizo) and enjoyed every single one. I got one of each salsa and both had great flavor. I for sure will be back sooner than later

Vaquero's is what they really eat. These kinds of tortillas can only be made by the old grandmother's in Mexico, who have never been to the US, and never plan on going. These tortillas here are obviously grown in house on a Metate (ok, I had to look that up), And the meats taste like they are marinated for days, in order to taste like this. My favorite is the Alambre Burrito. If you accidentally order something else in addition to the Burrito, you will probably be taking it home. And when you take home your Taco's, don't forget to take the chips with you. The chips are also obviously made in house, and fried in Lard before coming to every table.

Drinks are a little strange, only a couple options come in cups (unsweet tea, juices) and the test are single serving plastic bottles like you'd get from a store. I've seen this at other places, not a knock on the place, just an observation. Food was delivered quickly and it was super hot (freshly made), which I liked. My burrito was good, the bacon was crisp, not burnt, and the fries and steak were hot. I wish there was more cheese and sour cream in the LARGE burrito, but otherwise it was really good. The surf & turf was good as well. They have a salsa bar with various salsa options you can try/add to your meal. They are spicy and really good!! I think we'll be back to try the fajitas (huge plate!) and some of the other burrito options. They serve breakfast too, so would like to try that as well.

I got catering from here for a party of 25 and everything was so so SO good. And I used all the leftover beans and salsa (and sides of shredded cheese) to make with eggs for a week. And THAT was so delicious I started stopping in to get quarts of beans just for the purpose. On the other hand. The quarts of beans and rice are $15 each. Um. That's kind of ridiculous. I finally forced myself to break away from them because that's just too much. And on the other OTHER hand... after the catering thing, I was so enamored with the fajitas, I ordered the plates for dinner delivery a couple of times for me and my husband and... you guys. The menu says Fajiitas for 2 is 1 lb of fajitas. Wrong. The first time I got them I weighed out the meat and it came to 10-5/8 oz. I actually complained and the restaurant gave me a gift card as an apology. So I decided to order again. Omg. See photo. 9-1/8 ounces of meat for 2 people. Are you kidding me?? When I complained again, the manager tried to tell me that 1 lb was precooked weight. No. Even if that were true, beef yield across all cuts is 75-80%. It would be more than 9-1/8 ounces. But it shouldn't even be precooked weight. Everywhere else I order fajitas where they say "1 lb" I actually get 1 lb. So why Fresco's thinks it can get away with this utter nonsense - twice - and probably on a daily basis with other customers, is beyond me. I hate that Fresco's has such great food. Because I can't bring myself to go back and pay for two plates just to have enough meat for my husband and I to have a proper meal.

Chicken was tender and seasoned perfectly where the steak was tough & bland. The wrong beans were brought, but OH Well, no big deal They have a variety of dishes to select from. (See Photos of Menu) The establishment was handicapped friendly. Was clean on the inside and out. As we ate and drank our drinks, the waitress seated, a lady and her 2 children, one being a very young behind us. Immediately the baby started crying and no break, never quit. That was it for me !! Got a to go box and we were out of there. Lenise, my good friend said her sister loved the place, so now we can say .. we tried it. Hope you have better luck, have a good day.

It seemed like only one or two people were really in the know of what was to come for the portion sizes when they were asked that price point was pretty cheap so I'm not sure if that makes up for all of the downfalls, but I definitely will not recommend the place and will not be returning on purpose.
