About Taqueria El Vaquero

Taqueria El Vaquero is a taqueria, so expect a short, meat-forward menu, corn tortillas, and salsas made in house rather than a broad sit-down Mexican menu. It sits in Bakersfield (93301), CA, independently run.

There is no star rating on file for Taqueria El Vaquero yet, so it is ranked here on how taco-focused it is (a taqueria scores above a general restaurant) and how complete its public listing is, not on reviews.

If a trompo is turning, order al pastor. Otherwise asada or carnitas is the safe read. Ask for everything con todo and work the salsa bar.

It is on H St in Bakersfield. Use the Directions button for turn-by-turn.

Call ahead or check the map listing before a special trip. Small taquerias change hours often, and our data refreshes on a schedule, not live.

In our Bakersfield taco guide, Taqueria El Vaquero is ranked #16 of 117, by taco specialisation and listing completeness. How we rank.

What to expect on the menu

We do not have Taqueria El Vaquero’s exact menu on file, so this is what a taqueria of this kind typically serves, not a guarantee of today’s board:

• Al pastor, when there is a trompo turning
• Carne asada and carnitas
• Pollo, and often suadero, lengua or cabeza
• Corn tortillas, doubled
• A salsa bar with onion, cilantro, lime and two or three house salsas

For the real menu and prices, use the venue’s site or the Google listing.
