Taqueria La Vaquita

The best carnitas in Durham come from a walk-up with a cow on the roof.

Awesome, authentic tacos with a casual "food truck " atmosphere. The only thing "uncomfortable" about this place could be the a - hole snob tweeting at the table beside you. (Not common)

The best authentic Mexican around. Order a random plate every time... Never been disappointed with my order.

Veggie tacos + rice and beans were yummy!

Best tacos in Durham, by far!

Excellent authentic tacos , get three with rice and beans . Avoid the gordita , it is average.

Delicious horchata , great tacos . Try the beef tongue !

The very best Mexican food in the area. But it's limited outdoor-only (picnic benches ) seating.

The hand made corn tortillas are awesome. Make sure to get the beans and rice with your meal!

La Vaquita, along with other Hispanic businesses and restaurants on Hillsborough Road , has struggled since Hispanics began leaving Durham in droves last year. Read more

The barbacoa was highlighted in Gourmet Magazine!

The corn tortillas here are awesome! Be sure to try a variety of tacos .

Food may be great, but it's uncomfortable and expensive ... Lots of other places in the area.

Mole sauce - amazing

Don't miss the tacos - especially the chorizo

Eat at the picnic tables .
