Vaquero express has been a staple for our farm over the last 6 years. The food is always good, taco Tuesdays are a great deal and fun time with a crew of folks. It's small and in the middle of nowhere, but delivers a great vibe! read more

Horrible food, not authentic I went there and ordered an enchilada. It was not expensive. I just wanted to try it to see if I would like their food. I took one taste and I had to throw it out not authentic Mexican food. It was horrible one itty-bitty tiny enchilada that look like it was sat on. read more

We're had an assortment of items here and they have all been great. Burrito's, all types of tacos and enchiladas. Portions are great and service is always quick. The restaurant is a good size for how small it looks from the outside. Highly recommend! read more

This is a nice little place on the way to Molalla to stop and eat. I had the chicken tacos, the chicken was shredded, I prefer grilled chicken, it has more flavor and there is a salsa bar to spice things up if you like. The horchata was tasty also. My friend had beef enchiladas(nice flavor) with rice and refried beans(contains lard) but the whole beans do not They have a taco truck in Molalla also. The gals that work there are very nice and attentive. The cook was speedy read more

So far, I've only gone for taco Tuesdays and the tacos were OK and the chili Anna was really good so I'll probably be back because the prices were excellent. I couldn't believe how reasonable they were like two dollar tacos and the chile relleno was like 5 bucks I haven't tried any of their actual dinner dishes but the place did smell quite amazing and the prices definitely right so go check them out read more

Excellent choice for a taco joint? Of course I'm just kidding as there is lots more variety on the menu beside just tacos? Everything was fresh and delicious, service I need add was very good too. Hany location on the edge of Mulino on Highway 213. 5 stars*****! read more

My son & I occasionally stop here for a quick bite. The menu has plenty of variety and we like the food. The service is prompt and friendly for both take-out and dine-in read more

Taco Tuesday's are our families favorite! I always get the veggie tacos, which are amazing! We also get chicken, BBQ pork, and steak tacos which are all equally delicious! The 2 gals that wait on people on Tuesday's are so sweet and kind to my messy children! read more

Worst Mexican food ever unfortunately, service was good but omg my abuela would be giving the chancla to whoever is cooking back in the kitchen for embarrassing our culture with this mediocracy. Very sad :/ beware whatever that thing they're trying to pass off as huevos rancheros. read more

This place has the most amazing filling breakfast burritos absolutely delicious hands down the best I have ever had. Never actually been inside to eat but I plan on going very soon. No joke these burritos I actually crave there so amazing I can not say enough great things about their breakfast burritos. read more

I expected more! The flavor was bland and honestly they should step up their game. I usually can judge a Mexican restaurant by its salsa and let me tell you. If you like tomatoe soup with a few onions and a leaf of cilantro thrown this is your spot! Come on guys try better this should be authentic Mexican food ! read more

Excellent authentic tacos at a great price! Friendly & quick service. Bbq pork, carnitas & Vari tacos were delicious read more

Great place for Mexican, the staff is friendly. Taco Tuesday is our favorite we go at least one a month. The avocado green sauce is spicy and delicious. The salsa bar is a awesome accommodation. You can see right into the kitchen and the cooks appear clean and happy. It's really busy on Tuesday nights due to .99 tacos so I recommend going before dinner rush. read more

This is just like the restaurants we used to frequent in LA. Good hearty, well seasoned food for a decent price and it's cooked well! We grabbed carne asada tacos and nachos they know how to make a decent plate of nachos! We have also been coming frequently for the bacon breakfast burritos. My only wish is that they would do breakfast burritos all day! Keep up the great work! read more

Food was great. Probably some of the best Mexican food you can find in the area. I got 2 Lengua tacos and 2 Asada. Left my plate clean.

My bf and I visit Molalla regularly because it's the closest skydive drop-zone to PDX. This is our fav restaurant in the area. They have complimentary, unlimited chips, salsa, and self-serve toppings such as pico, pickled vegetables, other fun sauces. Their meal portions are huge, tasty, and affordable. *Plus their employees are Spanish-speaking. Legit. I couldn't ask for more from a Mexican restaurant. My fav dish is the Fajitas Mixtas. This is a great spot for vey hungry people. Also, they have catering! read more

This morning whoever was cooking breakfast burritos this morning deserves a raise. Very very good compared to the mash potatoe burrito I got last time about 3 or 4 months ago. I wrote this place off until my wife brought home some of there shrimp soup which was pretty amazing. So I thought I'd give it another shot this morning. Last time I got a bacon burrito it was full of mash potatoes it felt like. No crispy hash browns or fries you would think would come in a breakfast burrito. Bacon was cooked way to long almost hard. No flavor. No salt. Had to throw most of it out. Today is a different day. Maybe they got a new chef that cares, but this burrito today was the best I've had since I made my own last summer camping. I tip my cap to the chef. Keep it up. read more

I picked up some sausage breakfast burritos for the family today and they were a hit! Although my dad said he would prefer the bacon one (my bad) you can't beat the price! $3.99 for a large burrito that my mom couldn't even finish. So yummy, and my new go to place in town for a breakfast burrito since the bowling alley went out of business read more

I specially ask for NO VEGGIES. No onions, cilantro, guacamole, NO VEGGIES. I'm done, they ruin my order every time.

We love this place. Great quesadillas for the kiddos (which we end up stealing bites of because they're so good), amazing street tacos, excellent chips and salsa, all at great prices. We miss being able to eat in, of course, but it's all tasty to-go as well. read more

Our favorite place to grab breakfast burritos on our way out of town. (Plus, you can pull in to the parking area with a trailer on!) The burritos are substantial and tasty. We've always had good service! It's a good idea to call 20 minutes in advance as they are busy weekend mornings. read more

Satisfaction and deliciousness start here. It's a must stop if you're around the Molalla or Canby areas. Great pit stop to replenish after a hike. Food is exceptional! The tacos were overflowing with meat, and the extra crunch from the carnitas makes them much better than other spots. Stop by and get your tacos cravings satiated. read more

Vaquero Express - two plates of tacos and a drink - Mexican Near Me - Mulino, Oregon

Service was poor, food was grisly; so much my boyfriend and I couldn't finish our tacos FOR TACO TUESDAY !!! The whole reason we went was for taco Tuesday and there seemed to be quiet a bit of customers coming in once we were sat down and eating already. But listen you guys okay as a mom with a son with sensory/learning difficulties it's hard for him to eat certain foods ... long story short it's always a hassle asking for accommodations for a young child when the servers act as if it's a bother. Okay you try and be given something you don't want or can't eat or etc. I asked for specifically no sour cream on his plain (just cheese) quesadilla. No extras just as plain as it could get right. They repeated it back to me and they still brought it out with sour cream ALL OVER his quesadilla. Then when I asked for something to clean it off with she sat there looking at me dazed like she couldn't understand me... i was already fed up at this point trying to get my sons food prepared correctly so he could eat. Then they bring us extra food, charged us for it too! Then to top it all off; mind you this is what actually pissed me off like I was done at this point and excited to leave! My boyfriend goes to the counter to pay and get boxes for the food. No one was up at the counter behind him nothing! He stood there while these ladies walked around him for TEN Minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REFUSE to go back there. Save your time and money and come to Portland Taco shop up on 92nd and foster best tacos you'll ever have in your life. This experience all together was GARBAGE! ZERO stars for the crap service, ZERO stars for the disgusting food. Do better. read more

I will never go to another Mexican restaurant anywhere near Oregon city, this place is AMAZING and also SO FAST. I'm honestly a pretty big critic when it comes to Mexican food and I've never had a complain regarding Vaquero Express. Amazing job guys!! read more

Do not go here for breakfast. I ordered takeout and when I got home my order was incorrect. Not only was my order incorrect, but all of the food tasted like old oil and I ended up tossing all of the food. read more

Food is great but wasn't crazy about the dining area. Found a fly in the salsa. They need to cover their salsa station.

Great lunch option for the Mulino Mollala area. It's a small roadside place. Brightly colored interior, with a nice fresh salsa bar, and Norteno music playing when I was there. Your classic taqueria. My tacos were very tasty. Service was quick and pleasant. I'd definitely go back. It's a five star two star place. read more

This place has the BEST authentic tacos and a very tasty chicken salad!! I've had salads at other Mexican places where the chicken is dry and not seasoned. This is the best, hands down! Taco Tuesdays get them for 99 cents instead of $1.50 (which is still a great deal) I had 3 of them and walked away full. My brother had 4 of the carne asada! If you're in the area stop by and check them out! read more

Great tacos and more. Salsa bar. Beer and margaritas. Good prices. Excellent carnitas. Small great place.

Best Mexican in Molalla area by far! Great service, prices and awesome quality. Support local.

Great little taqueria. Good salsa and chips, I enjoy the $6 carnitas taco plate. Great value, good service, quality food! read more

Vaquero Express - Carnitas Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Mulino, Oregon

Living in NorCal and consuming a great deal of high quality Mexican food, I just can't give this place a 4. The pricing is good. Tacos are $1.50 normally and $0.99 normally. The other items seem to have a reasonable price. I had three tacos, carnitas, carne asada, and pollo. The carnitas was good but a little salty. The asada was decent. The pollo was a huge miss, it is boiled. The onion and cilantro were a a little sparse and there was no salsa on the taco. The salsa bar was available but the salsa was nothing to write home about. I will give them credit for making their own pickles jalapeños and carrots. What did I learn today? It must be an Oregon thing. Why do Mexican restaurants cater to white people by offering burgers? read more

This place is one of my favorite places to eat. The service is amazing. They go out of their way to make you happy. It is like they actually like customers and would like a tip. I always leave fat and happy. The prices are so reasonable. read more

This is my new favorite place for Taco Tuesday! $.99 every Tuesday for delicious tacos! I get the fried asada, as it is my favorite! This place used to be an old divey restaurant complete with low ceilings that attempted to cater to those who flew into Mulino Airport. Now it's an excellent Mexican place with great prices and delicious food. The ambiance is festive and the owners (who I believe are a husband/wife team) have really had fun decorating the place. They also offer Horchata, which is one of my favorite Mexican drinks (rice milk with cinnamon). Looking forward to trying other things on the menu. They also offer daily lunch specials that I'll be trying someday also. I just learned that the owner's student attends school across the street at the local elementary school. Go there to support this growing family! read more
