El Vaquero Mexicano

I am celiac and highly sensitive, and have to eat both gluten and dairy free. I love El Vaquero! Many menu items and specials are naturally gluten free; corn tortillas are easily subbed for flour tortillas, and dairy can be left off of nearly any dish. Staff are well aware of celiac, and trained to take it seriously. Orders come out right the first time, every time, no matter how busy they are. I particularly recommend the brisket tacos, the chicken tortilla soup and the guac. I've been coming here for a couple of years, and I've never gotten sick - they are my go-to for safe, delicious Mexican in an enjoyable safe environment.
