La Vaquita - San Benito

La Vaquita – San Benito stands as “the number one Taco joint in San Benny” according to local acclaim, specializing in traditional trompo al pastor cooked on an authentic spinning roasting rack. Their trompo is “cooked in the traditional manner on a spinning, roasting rack” which “lends a better flavor when cooked this way and also allows for thinner slices of meat that’ll melt in your mouth.” The taqueria excels in weekend barbacoa, with customers noting “Very few places have that finger licking food especially when it comes to some barbacoa! La vaquita is already infamous for it’s tacos and tortas but the barbacoa is on a different level.” Their small but mighty tacos feature handmade tortillas and come with an unbeatable value proposition – “You can get an order of 5 tacos with an order of beans and a drink for $6.50.” Customer favorites include potato and egg breakfast tacos, with reviewers praising the “great potato” and noting the salsa is “always on point.” The restaurant’s reputation for consistency shines through, with patrons declaring “This place is a staple for barbacoa in San Benito.”
