I was out and about before a beautiful sunset....never been in this eating establishment! Back in the mid 1990's my KEVIN SEAL AGENCY was located at 212 E Madison less than a half of a block to the East!!!!

Fan-frickin-tastic! We tried this place after rave reviews from my daughter. Started w the salsa which was so fresh and good I literally drank the part that I couldn't scoop up w a chip! The guacamole was on point as well as the queso dip! I had the shredded chicken chimi and it was stuffed so full of chicken it was incredible. Our waitress Kayla was THE best! She gave us samples of the cantaloupe water (amazing) and hibiscus water (more tart but great!) Made ourselves thoroughly miserably stuffed with sopapilla which were to die for! This will be the only place I will go to get my Mexican food fix!!

Excellent food and wonderful service. Fajitas, Street tacos, burrito with red sauce, and the grilled vegetable side were all fantastic. Lunch specials are a particularly outstanding value.

We have been going to the Las Vaquitas Mexican Restaurant since Caesar and Connie recruited their family and opened their doors to Derby residents. It's rare to find a place where the owners are in the kitchen and on the floor making sure every guest feels welcome. The food is incredible and service is professional and friendly. I thought the idea of covering the check of a few of their patrons was a sweet holiday idea. When it happened to us, we were incredibly grateful. Huge thanks to the entire staff for showing their appreciation to a couple of regular customers. Please support this LOCAL restaurant, you will not be disappointed!!!

A family member stumbled across this restaurant last time she was in town, and was in town again for the holidays, so wanted to go back. We had 8 in our party and were seated right away. The hostess was very friendly and helpful the moment we walked in the door. Victor was fabulous with our table. Very patient with us as we decided what to order since it was the first time for most of us. He was extremely attentive throughout the meal, our drinks never ran out and he kept the chips and salsa full. Everyone loved what they ordered. I got the tostada with ground beef and beans and a side of rice. Everything had so much flavor. And it all came out very fast! This will definitely be in our rotation of Mexican restaurants we frequent.

We drive 20 minutes out of our way for this place! We've never had bad service or a bad experience here. Their salsa and horchata specifically are hands down some of the best I've had in the state! I've been on numerous occasions just to pick up a horchata. We also love having Karla as a server! We have her almost everytime. She's a gem!
