Good place for carnitas and other stuff, I just go in there cuz my mom always went there, so its a ok place for whatever you need to make an authentic Mexican meal. Sorta friendly at times. But all in all a good place .

This place sucked. The staff was unhelpful they have no sense of even being nice. Id recommend la laguna i live in a near by county and drive to sterling for that place i saw this place and decided to stop in wish i didnt.

Nice little store. Great place to buy Mexican spices.

I shop here all the time. When I need restaurant products (portion cups, gloves, cups, ect.) The prices are fair and I dont have to buy an entire case when I only need a sleeve or two. Ill also stop in when Im in need of peppers and limes, best in town.There is a lot of other stuff there. If you need it, they probably have it. Stop in itll be worth your time.

Love going here to do my shopping they are so friendly

Perfect place to get anything you need to make some amazing food, they accept link which most Mexican stores around here dont, cant beat their prices and quality! I go probably two or three times a week at least everybody is always extremely friendly and understanding

Usually they do ok. Last time we ordered food for pick up they made our tortas all wrong toppingsTook back and they just added what they forgot 😲 and gave me the same sandwiches back smh when I did not order cilantro or onion and they smothered them w both . So O has to tell them and then they finally made another sandwich. Still forgot to put all toppings on new sandwich when I got homeDidnt want to go back AGAIN. 🤬

Love this Mexican store always find the best things only found in Mexico or Mexican haciendas. I always buy my Mexican Molina there the best vanilla around the fake stuff is nasty but the Mexican real vanilla rocks!

Place used to be pretty good. Now it is in dire straits..a shadow of its former self

Great deli area. Love the choices

Fresh and good food

The family who owns and runs El Vaquero is always welcoming and helpful! Mrs. always explains recipes and different ingredients to me when Im stumped with how and when to utilize new and different veggies and stuff!
