    Chorizo, refried beans and potato burrito.
    Tina T.

    I was craving a burrito with chorizo so I decided to give this place a try after a friend recommended it. I ordered a chorizo, refried beans and potato burrito. The inside is small, about 10-12 tables. I believe it used to be a Taco Bell many years ago. The customer service was good. The staff was friendly. The burrito was huge! It was filled with a lot of chorizo with the right amount of heat. It was also filled with a lot of refried beans and potatoes diced in a perfect size. It definitely satisfied my chorizo craving. I would recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back for another chorizo burrito as well as trying to trysomething else.

    I had high hopes.... We decided to order out tonight after a long and stressful week. Through passing we have seen Vaqueros many times and figured we would hear we it a try. We ordered the Carne Asada burrito, the chicken chimichanga and the carne Asada fries. My boyfriend was excited for a chimichanga, as that's his fave, but he said he was left disappointed. It was soggy and bland. I too immediately agreed with bland after taking a bite of my rice and beans. Where are the seasonings? The salt and pepper? Sadly even the carne Asada fries and my burrito followed suit in being bland. Thinking I could maybe save mine with some of their salsa... wrongo, even the salsa is not hitting right. I went ahead and pulled out some cholula to help give the food at least a little flavor. It did make the good a little tastier. Would I eat here again? Honestly, no. Save your money.

    As always, the food was delicious. Never been charged $.75 each taco for cilantro and onions before. Could've bought a whole other taco for what I paid. I'll know for next time

    I got the Chile Relleno Burrito delivered on door dash and it was incredible. Best burrito of my life. So so good!

    I can't believe these reviews because I just came to say I just had the best burrito of my entire life from here. I got the chili relleno burrito and it's was honestly heaven. The tortilla was obviously made from scratch. The beans were so so good. All I have to say is wow. I'm visiting from out of town and I wish we had a Vaqueros in Denver because I'm so sad I can't have this meal over and over. I'll 100% be back next time in Arizona!!

    I am an existentialist. I am not religious, But my mom's are. I respect When Faith & Religion make people good. This restaurant is one of them. I am happy to bring a saint to add to this beautiful altar.

    Messy Enchiladas but really good!
    Jazmin J.

    So good! I am away from home and was craving authentic Mexican food. I ordered street tacos de asada which were as authentic and good as they get I ordered delivery so they were a bit cold but still great! Best practice would be to eat there. I also tried the enchiladas (Beef and Cheese) which were really good but were texmex rather than authentic. I paired that with agua de Tamarindo and it is one of the best I've had! Really good affordable price as well in total paid around $25 for a meal for 2! (Including the delivery fees and tip)

    The food was the best I've ever taste

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.

He was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with my friend who is deaf, making sure we always had water, napkins, and plenty of chips. The margarita flight is always a must for me, so I had to order one for my friend since it was her first visit. I told her that even though neither of us are into spicy margaritas, I knew she'd love it and I was right! Every margarita was delicious. I also ordered the lavender lemonade, which was refreshing and just as good. Ghost Ranch never seems to miss when it comes to drinks. Potato tacos! Another must have My friend ordered the Aztec Cake and insisted I'd regret not getting it. She was absolutely right. It was bomb and Torrance offered us a side of chips .TY. I ordered the short rib. It was flavorful, tender, and filling, with lots of garlic and savory flavor. I'm not sure if short rib is just not my thing, but it didn't wow me the way the Aztec Cake did. I warmed it up later and it was delicious a second time so no complaints. Excellent service, delicious drinks, and a fun way to spend the Fourth. We'll definitely be back!

Been waiting to check this place out for Happy Hour and finally got around to it with friends. Happy Hour is daily with $3 off all appetizers (not just selected as the menu says) in addition to drink specials. We ordered a few apps to share and had: - Chips with Guacamole and Salsa: solid - Queso Fundido: I was excited for this as friends have said they liked it, but the cheese harden within minutes and it wasn't as nice - Street Style Esquites: I was expecting more corn rather than mixed in another cheese dip and likewise, the cheese harden quickly. - Shrimp cocktail: it was pretty heavy on the liquid rather than thicken, but good - 3 potato tacos: okay, wasn't expected it to be fried so it was a bit greasy but loved the slaw it came with - Southwest egg roll: not bad, was a crowd's favorite and I liked the sauce it came with We didn't realize most of the apps came with tortilla chips otherwise we may have ordered differently. I got the frozen margarita and it was a bit sweet, but nice for the summer evening. Our server wasn't super attentive, but was nice whenever they came around. There's a sampler entree platter I'd like to try, but of all the appetizers we tried, the best was probably the chips with guacamole and salsa.

It's quaint, never a wait, and it has become our family go-to. We always have wonderful service and great meals with freshly prepared ingredients. The shrimp dishes are incredible, remnant of Puerto Peñasco with shrimp that "pops" (if you know good shrimp, you know what I mean!)

My sangria was good as well. However, the amount you get for around $8.50 is a joke. Its a small glass with just a little bit in the glass. The chips & salsa were good. The spicy salsa is the opposite of the one you would think is spicy out of the two, so pay attention. Hubby got a combo with a tamale & ground beef burrito with rice & beans. He said everything was good. He also ordered a side of guacamole. I thought I got a picture of the guacamole & sour cream. It's crazy how much they charged for them. They were the small plast condiments containers, but they charged almost $5 for the guacamole. I don't remember the extra cost for the sour cream, but it too was way too high for the tiny size. I got a chicken chimichanga with grilled chicken instead of the shredded chicken which came with rice & beans. It was all good. Our server was friendly & did a good job. We loved the decor. It reminded us of being in Mexico. The table & chairs are really cool too. I wanted to love this place, but the cost of the sangria, sour cream & guacamole are just too high for me to justify coming back.
