If you ask our team for a recommendation, there's one dish that comes up again and again: our Street Tacos al Pastor! 🌮🍍

Made with flavorful marinated pork and pineapple, these tacos are served on corn tortillas with fresh cilantro, diced onions and a squeeze of fresh lime for the perfect balance of savory and sweet.

Power Outage Update!

Hi, amigos! Our power is still out, and while Duke Energy is working hard to restore it, we’ll unfortunately be closed for the rest of today.

We’re hopeful we’ll have good news to share in the morning and will keep you updated as soon as we’re back up and running.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and support. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, and we hope everyone is staying safe in today’s heat! ☀️

Due to an unexpected power outage and gas service interruption, we are temporarily unable to serve guests while the issue is being addressed! We're working to get everything back up and running as quickly as possible.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. We'll share another update as soon as we're able to reopen. Thank you for your support! 🩵

Our founder, Rigo, started El Vaquerito as a tribute to his family, the traditions they shared and the joy of bringing people together around the table. And even when he gets a chance to slow down, he's enjoying the same food and drinks our guests love (including a glass of our horchata)! 🩵

So pull up a chair, bring your amigos and experience for yourself what El Vaquerito is all about. We're open every day of the week!
