The pupusas here are great. They are big and heavy, so they are not cheap on their portions. It definitely feels worth what it costs. My personal suggestion is to get the pork and cheese, the revueltas. Delicious. Little more: We were not given any recado, (I’m not even sure if they even offer it), but they did give us curtido. Personally, I did not like it. The pupusa were still hot and tasty. Apologies for such a bad photo.

One of the very best Mexican restaurants in the triangle. Tons of options and everything is high quality, authentic (as far as I can tell), and delicious. Service is fast and friendly. Outdoor seating only and you can find many street food style options that are less common in typical Mexican restaurants. An all time favourite of mine.

I came to la Vaquita to film a school project on Hispanic foods and had a wonderful time talking with Antonio about the restaurant. The staff were incredibly kind and the food was incredible (must try the tamales!). I really appreciated that they were willing to share their experience and I loved learning how they keep their food authentic and fresh (which can be rare). Will be back for sure!

What a great find for us! This place is great! The staff is great and the food is even better. It’s all outdoor seating but there are fans and shade. 10/10 recommend.

I’ve lived in the triangle my whole life and this has been the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. It’s real, affordable, and the best. I will definitely be coming back here and trying everything on their menu. Everything we had was a hit. The quesabirrias were to die for. Literally
