Taqueria La Vaquita or "The Cow Store" as it is affectionately called, is well-known for the bovine statue that adorns its roof. But it's famous around these parts for its delicious Mexican food and beverages. They have a broad selection of tacos and meat options, cooked to perfection.

Absolutely the freshest greens I've ever had! I was seriously looking around for a garden and a lime tree!

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.

The food here is always good. We call ahead, because there are often lines, but in 20 minutes get ready for arguably the best Mexican food in the area. We try different dishes, and today's included mole which was the best I've had in years. Treat yourself. You deserve it. BTW, It's outdoors seating. And NC weather is made for that.

I just wanted to say I really love the food here. Everything is fresh and flavorful, just like always. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they work hard to keep things running smoothly.
I appreciate the consistency and the good vibes every time I visit. Big thanks to the team—keep it up!

Reasonably priced and SO DELICIOUS. No frills, casual atmosphere, and solid food. My burrito was STUFFED and was so, so filling.

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

Atmosphere is perfect for a low cost taqueria but be forewarned - there is NO indoor seating and today it is 95+ in the shade!

Always a good meal. Tacos are soft and fluffy, barbacoa etc perfectly seasoned w authentic flavors, inexpensive and delicious. Great service.Outdoor seating, relaxed streetside vibe. We love to hang out on a summer night. Decent ice cream place next door with garden seating.
