Birrieria La Vaquita

"this place is amazing! The food is authentic and delicious! Super friendly and great service than a few times. It is a cart so either be prepared to sit outside or they have a nice inside area and they will bring it to you or give you a pager. Highly recommended"

"Really good! Best in Portland metro I have had. The hot salsa was actually hot. The onions on top were fresh to finish. Really good."

"Went here with some friends recently, when a friend of mine had left to wash his hands, which was a decent walk away, so it sparked a thought in my head, "How useful really is water?" I thought for a good 27 seconds about this, before I subconsciously bit into a lime and not my taco. I was slightly surprised that I had managed to do this, as I can feel the difference between a lime and a taco, but I wasn't upset, as I love limes. My thoughts drifted away from water over to limes, when eventually, my friend came back from washing his hands. I started to wonder what my original thought was, but couldn't put my finger on it, so I gave up and continued eating, angrily. But them I was happy again because the tacos were great, 10/10 would eat here again."

"Try the vampire! The corn and crunch really adds to the birria experience. The food was excellent and so was the service. We came when they weren't very busy and she offered to bring our food inside to us so we didn't have to wait out in the cold. Would definitely come back!"

"Best BIRRIA in Washington. Seriously. Before Washington, there was a place in Kansas City we had that was really good but THIS place blew my mind. Birria was definitely the best I’ve had in Washington (believe me I’m a birria connoisseur). I just happened to stop through here after visiting a family friend in Vancouver and the area was very beautiful (port of Kalama) and it made us want to stop and take a look around and we were lucky enough to come across this gem. I have already started telling everyone I know about this place because this place is seriously worth every penny! I was grateful to speak with Marco and his family about their business and just about life in general and it was truly a nice experience. Marco is extremely well spoken and can lead a conversation by himself, the first time I ever talked to him he told me some scenic and historic locations in Kalama to visit while we were there, I truly could not be more appreciative of Marco and his family and I can say with EXTREME certainty that every single time we pass through here again, I will make it a priority to come back and eat here again. Salsa - 10/10, Quesabirria tacos - 10/10, consommé - 10/10, service is impeccable and the atmosphere is perfect. My wife and I had the best time being able to eat some tacos while looking at a beautiful river and it was a perfect day. Thank you Marco and family for letting my wife and I talk your ears off about our entire life story lol and thank you for sharing your life stories as well. I love being able to eat good food and connect with the people who’s making my food. Thank you for reading if you got this far!"
