Food was excellent - flavorful, big portion, very tasty all around. However, the line is VERY long, with some really obnoxious people taking FOREVER to order and the owner is in no rush to hurry them in consideration of all these poor people waiting in the sun for 30 minutes!!!! Honestly it is blistering out in the parking lot and they are just taking their sweet time ordering and diddling daddling!!! They really should try to hurry up the ordering process and be considerate of the poor customers.

A great family owned Mexican place. I gave it low atmosphere cause you mostly have to eat outside or take it to go. The building is really small.

Great walk up taquria. Erika is great and provides amazing authentic food. Street tacos are best in helena, burritos are also amazing. My girlfriend also.loves the taco salads. One of the best in the state. Can not go wrong with Erika.

Best Mexican food I have had in Montana. Highly recommend! I had the steak burrito and all the ingredients were great! A lot of steak too.

This is my favorite quick service Mexican restaurant in Helena! Their chips come with extra seasonings that put them a step above the rest, and every entrée I've tasted has been delicious. 😋 Be sure to follow them on FB as well!! During weather related closures, they offer family sized meal pickups that are very reasonably priced.

This is one of those magical little hole-in-the-wall places. The food is phenomenal and authentic and the prices are more than fair. I'm glad I stopped by to see what the buzz was about!

As someone who lived in Texas for 14 years, I haven't found "real" Mexican food in Montana. Until now! I got the burrito with pollo ranchero (chicken) and omg this is what I have been missing! Perfectly cooked chicken, pico, pinto beans and salsa. Plus some chipotle hot sauce. It was amazingly flavored and REAL. Very reasonably priced at $6, Mexican shouldn't be a luxury or bland. This burrito here is true perfection!

Line was long for lunch on a Monday but well worth the wait. Visiting from out of state- food was excellent and was a good portion to have leftovers. Got the chicken enchiladas- mine did not need hot sauce- also had the tacos Al pastor which was yummy. Was able to find parking- small parking lot but great to get food to go or eat outdoors at the picnic table if open. Prices were $10-15 for what we got

This place is top notch Mexican food at its finest. Using fresh ingredients and classic flavor combinations, every meal is satisfying. The street tacos are my favorite, with many fresh toppings to add. And this place is serious bang for the buck with generous portions.

Whenever I bring their pork enchiladas back to my desk, I usually have a coworker message me, asking me what I am eating because it smells amazing! Great service as well! They always remember my order. Best Mexican food in Montana in my book.

I’ve eaten here a handful of times and each time the service and food has been spot on. El Vaquero adds so much flavor, tastiness, and authentic goodness to Helena. The only bummer is that I wish they could be open for dinner — But that makes me appreciate their lunches even more.

I ordered carnitas and al pastor tacos, the meat they used was wrong for those plates, as a Mexican I know, lack of flavor, Horchata was the powder one, not homemade, and I order a tres leches which wasn't put on my bag and because I was passing by helena I called and leave messages never got a call back even for an apology, the only decent thing there was the cashier lady was nice. Never stop to eat Mexican food on a town that doesn't have at least 10% of Mexican population.

Really love the food here. I wish they were open more, but I respect their system. Love to get there a bit early to beat the line that forms, and it forms for good reason. Really solid food, good price. We have tried a number of things here, nachos were good, burritos and tacos also solid. Just go and try it!

Best burritos in town and maybe best carnitas options ever. Place is just full of great food options and wonderful folks. Their dinner take and bakes are announced on Facebook, supposedly for four, but will feed a party twice that size. My kid loves their pinto beans and rice. Don't forget to get their salsa ranchera and pico. Everything is good, but I get #1 carnitas burrito every time.

Bar none, this is the best Mexican food in Helena. You can judge for yourself by the long lines at the takeout window every day they’re open (and I do wish they were open more often). Every now and then they’ll offer a meal (aka FEAST) deal—a lot of food for very little money. Great food cooked by really nice people.

Most authentic street tacos I've had in town. Delicious! Love the carnitas and carne asada. Only place I've been to that gives you the limes with raw white onion, and cilantro on the street tacos. 😋 it's worth it to stand in line for a few mins. The salsa is also very good.

The wait was long, so I was hoping that the food would be exceptionally good. The prices were decent and the service was good. The food however, was just okay. I was a little disappointed honestly at the lack of flavor. The good side is that there was actually a lot of food. It wasn't my favorite, but maybe you'll like it..... give it a shot.

Large portions of delicious authentic Mexican food! We had the pork street tacos and macho nachos. Like their menu says, their meat is seasoned well but if you like spicy, ask them to add one of their salsas on the side. Found this place after reading reviews when travelling thru. Sign says they are only open weekdays 11am to 3pm. No indoor seating, a few nice picnic tables, and you may have to wait in line outside for your food..but worth it!! The locals eat here so you know it's good.

Drove by this place in my RV and had to come back. MAN, food like that should not come out of a window! Don't let the lines scare you, it's worth the wait. My mom couldn't make beans like that, food was awesome. The line was running 20 deep when we got there. They are only open on weekdays from 11-3 and that speaks volumes.
