I came back and decided to dine in this time. I ordered tacos again because I feel like you really can't go wrong with tacos. I tried one tongue taco, but the texture was too soft for my liking. I also had one intestine taco, which was very chewy and had more fat on it than I'm used to. I've had intestine tacos at Fonda Mexicana on South Boulevard, and theirs are amazingly crunchy with little to no fat attached, so that's what I was expecting. I also had two beef tacos. Overall, the tacos were decent, but still around a 3-star experience for me. That being said, the service I received from my server, Lujan, was absolutely amazing! She was very friendly, kind, attentive, and provided excellent customer service throughout my visit. Thank you, Lujan, for making the dining experience enjoyable. If I come back, it will definitely be because of your outstanding service. read more

I went here with friends on taco Tuesday... let me tell you, our service was terrible. It was as if our booth was invisible. The tacos were not that good or that cheap for service that bad. While we might go back, it won't be on Tuesday. read more

Service friendly, place clean, food is the reason for a low score. One other table beside us so no excuse for the long service time and no lie ice cold food. The cheese didnt melt in a deep fried chili. Pouring a warm sauce over something out of the fridge doesnt heat it up. Heres the gotcha cook you premade the food portioned in the fridge so all you have to do is sauce and serve. Ive been around food service long enough to know the games. You precook so you dont have to make it at night. Which leads to oh we didnt sell as many so we have it made for tomorrow. Thats pure lazy, your customers pay for fresh to order, left overs are for home. Your a discrase to real cooks. read more

I absolutely love this spot! Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel welcomed. I was recommended a Mango Auga Fresca and IT.. IS... DELICIOUS! There are other flavors but I tried the mango and you definitely can tell it's made with real fruit. My normal go to as far as tacos are chicken, chorizo, and steak! Mmm! You've gotta check them out!! *chefs kiss* read more

Got a quesadilla with extra cheese and MAN, was it extra cheese Combo 1 meal was also very good. Flavorful enchiladas and tacos. Service was friendly and prompt. Place was busy on a Friday night, which I heard had margarita specials that night! read more

An unexpected gem on our drive from NC to Atlanta. La Vaca has excellent food from several Latin American cuisines made with fresh ingredients and generous portions. My shrimp tostada was piled with marinated chunks of shrimp and garnished with pickled onions and avocado slices. The chicken soup was also outstanding. The interior is bright, colorful and super clean. Very refreshing alternative to all the chain and fast food restaurants and easy to find off the interstate. read more

Went for lunch on a Saturday with a group of 7--four adults, a teen, and two children--and had an absolutely fantastic experience! I ordered the Shrimp Chimichanga dish, and it was amazing! It came with rice, beans, and a salad, and every bite was perfection. I also tried a side of pupusa, and wow--it was just as delicious! The dipping sauces were the perfect complement. Everyone in our group raved about their meals, from the adults to the kids, which says a lot! Even the iced tea stood out--it wasn't overly sweet, just perfectly refreshing. The prices were great, the service was excellent, and the entire experience was simply wonderful. Hands down, the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in a long time. I can't recommend it enough and will definitely be back with more friends and family! read more

La Vaca is where to go for incredible Mexican cuisine! I'm addicted to their pupusas, birria tacos, and steak tacos so I don't venture far from these dishes. They are literal perfection! I also love the Jamaica tea. My husband was pleased with the chicken burrito, which was mild in flavor compared to say birria flavors. More importantly, visit this place and spread the word, 1.50 tacos on taco Tuesday!!! read more

Food was fresh, service was super friendly and very clean! We enjoyed every minute of our lunch. Will def be back!

It was my first time here and I wasn't too impressed with the service. Geronomo was my server. He was very kind, but not as attentive as I hoped. My food came out wrong, twice. I ordered the Pollo alla vaca (hope I spelled that right) without chorizo and tomato and it came out with chorizo. When I mentioned it, and it was noticeable, he almost kept calling the ground chorizo, chicken. It clearly wasn't chicken. He had to confirm with the kitchen if it was chorizo and it was. How does someone work here and not know the difference? The second time it came out, it came out with mushrooms, which wasn't even listed on the menu for the Pollo alla vaca. I also ordered a small side of guacamole and was brought/charged for a large. I wish Geronomo could've confirmed the portion, as I was dining alone. These inconsistencies add up. The lack of efficiency with the kitchen and Geronomo really stood out. I made sure to be kind the entire time because mistakes happen. However, I did not see Geronomo for the rest of my visit here, which was disappointing. I saw him working on sidework instead. I felt ignored and maybe he knew that my food came out wrong both times. Instead two other ladies, who weren't my servers, took over. They brought me boxes and took my payment. No sign of Geronomo at the end. From one server to another, you should remember that GOOD service can almost always "recover" awkward situations like tonight. I hope this review can be taken seriously. read more

We were warmly greeted and instantly felt "at home." The service was fast, prices were more reasonable than fast food and the food was amazing! Everything made from scratch including the tortillas which you watch them make right there. The ingredients were fresh. This is going to be a go to spot for us and I'm going back to try their breakfast which they also serve all day. read more

Tried out La Vaca for lunch for their $1.50 taco Tuesday special. The service was great, our waitress was very nice and super attentive. Obviously we came for the cheap tacos but we ended up trying way more. Overall the food was great. The horchata was delicious (they have the best ice), the complimentary chips and salsa were warm and had the perfect amount of salt, the guac was very fresh and the tacos were good. I ordered the chicken tacos with no cilantro and onion and instead topped mine with the rice, beans, salsa and guac. We didn't care for the cheese dip much. It had a mayonnaise-like taste to it that was off putting. Note: I didn't see any of the sides or prices listed on their menu. I had to ask the waitress if they had queso, guacamole, rice and beans etc and went in blind with the pricing. Thankfully they were reasonably priced $5 and under. I think they should add those options to the menu to make it clear they offer those additions. Also didn't see any desserts on the menu. I was so full but if you tempt me with a churro I'd definitely eat one or two. Overall we spent about $40. 2 chicken tacos, rice, beans, queso, guac, 1 horchata and 1 order of the taquitos. I'd come back here to eat again. read more

The food was good, the customer service was terrible. Went to go eat with my family and the waitress took forever to come back to check up on us. On top of that they already charge you for "tip" for a party of 9. Which in this case was not okay due to poor service. So check your receipts before adding "another" tip. Do not recommend if you want to enjoy food and take family for a dinner. read more

The Service was on point... Food was fire ... I will be back again... Everything from Pupusa, burritos, salad, horchata is delicious ...

After seeing lots of hype, we decided to give La Vaca a try, and we were not disappointed! From fire music choice to fiery sauce, it was a great choice to celebrate our marriage proposal anniversary! Sodas are sold by the can, or they have Jarritos in bottles and homemade drink options. And, they have that good crunchy ice! I ordered the Quesabirria tacos and they were served with beef consommé, chopped onions and cilantro. DELICIOUS! The meat was tender, well cooked, seasoned, and just good eats. The rice was well cooked and flavorful, as well as the refried beans. The salsa isn't chunky, but very flavorful and mild as far as spice level. My husband got the combination fajitas and really enjoyed them. He chose the flour tortillas and they were good as well. The guacamole was made fresh to order and was very good. We really liked the chips as they were thick and crunchy, and not salty. The salsas bright with the meal was a salsa verde -mild, and what I believe is a habanero sauce-spicy, but flavorful. They also had Texas Pete and Valentino on the tables. I will definitely be back...probably tomorrow, because they do $1.49 Taco Tuesday! The server was great! Kind and attentive! Just get there and get some great food! And, they serve breakfast! read more

The Quesabirria tacos were so bland and burnt. Not sure why the reviews are so high, but from a person who loves seasoned food this did not hit the spot. It was so crispy and black it did not look edible. This is my first and last time eating at this restaurant. Look at the picture it looks like a burnt grilled cheese sandwich read more

Fantastic varied menu close to the airport off the beaten path. Many specials- fantastic enchiladas verde- great and friendly service!

Was headed to our favorite Mexican Restaurant and came across La Vaca on our way and decided to give it a try. It was not busy for the dinner hour and after eating I am certain it's because the word hasn't gotten out yet! Wow! The staff are warm and friendly and the service is top notch. The menu had great variety and the prices were fantastic. The portions were very generous and the food was amazing!! Looks like we have a new favorite Mexican Restaurant! Don't pass on it based on the simple aesthetic of the building, you will not be disappointed. read more

service good food amazing people are very nice and kind and also very hard working but the time wait isn't too long but it's def worth it

This place is a sleeper hit. My wife saw them on a reel on either fb or tik tok and decided to try it. I was very happy with that decision. My 1st visit was taco tuesday which has tacos for 1.50. Fire...every single one. I'm a huge fan of rice and beans and they didn't disappoint! I will continue to patronize them as long as the quality stays the same. read more

Enjoyed La Vaca for a quick, VERY casual dinner on taco Tuesday. You can't beat $1.50 tacos and will return to try other menu items. The service was quick and friendly, but I wish the atmosphere was more lively. Sort of felt like a cafeteria. But overall, good experience! read more

It's very good. Their tacos I have had a few times and have tried their quesadilla. They are all very good. The meat is well flavored and a higher quality steak is used compared to other places. I haven't been able to make it for half off on Taco Tuesday but it is awesome they have it. The staff is friendly and it is clean. I wish they used El Milagro taco shells but it is okay. read more

Place is gross. It's all over the place. Pupusas? Tell what's Mexican about that? The food is mediocre and the service is just as bad.

The food was very very good! The environmental was very clean, the service was great and once again amazing food! So good I forgot to take a picture of my meal! Me and my fiancé greatly enjoyed our dinner here! And will return very soon. read more

I've been here three times for Taco Tuesday. The waitresses are really nice and generally on the ball. They are not all native English speakers, but if you're a little bit patient with them, it's all good. Free chips with salsa is good, but the salsa is very thin and watery, but it's free. The guacamole is good, but not great. I like mine well seasoned with lots of onion, tomato, jalapeño and a little garlic; theirs is more mild. The large serving of guacamole is only $2 more than the small, so if you like guacamole, go for the large. Speaking of seasoning, this is my real problem with this place. On my first visit here, the tacos were blandly seasoned and kind of skimpy. On my second visit, the tacos were well seasoned - delicious, and nice and full. On my third visit, they were kind of bland again, but with a good amount of filling. I'd like to try the regular menu, but if they can't make the tacos consistently good, I'm not sure I want to risk $75 on dinner for 3. I hope the restaurant realizes that low priced tacos on Tuesday are a great way to get people in the restaurant, but if the tacos aren't that good, people will only come for the tacos and not for the rest of the menu. read more
