“I’ve been to Murphy’s several times and up until today I was not interested in going to a Mexican restaurant up here. Well I’ve been missing out and this place WILL BE a stop going forward for sure! Dare I say the best breakfast burritos and a large variety of tasty, Mild and ACTUALLY spicy salsa. Pleasantly surprised to say the least! Try it out!”

“We came just after they opened on a Sunday in the middle of may. Plenty of parking was available of course. We chose to sit in the outdoor patio area. The rushing water of the creek supplied an excellent background ambience. Our server was eager and friendly. We’re not picky eaters but asked some questions and received excellent suggestions which we ultimately followed. I’m a fan of Birria de res. We chose a QuesaBirria over the ramen , caldo , combination plate. Chef’s kiss!”

“Probably the most authentic, best, and affordable tacos I’ve ever had. I get their tacos anytime I come down to arnold, and have recently tried the horchata. Everything is so well made and it’s probably my favorite taco truck. I know I only get the tacos, but they are the best tacos i’ve ever had. If you want to support an authentic food truck with amazing food, I recommend coming to visit arnold and trying Los Pinos”

“We ordered EL Vaquero catering for a large family party. I called and spoke to the manager Alde and she was very accommodating and helpful. We ordered chicken and asada for tacos, quesadillas, rice, beans and cheese enchiladas and everything was FABULOUS! Everyone loved the food. They even helped accommodate us when the pick up time changed the week of. We were very happy with El Vaquero and will definitely be back soon!”

“Mary's makes the best Super Carne Asada Burrito! And it's big enough to share. They'll also make it in a bowl if you want it tortilla free. Just ask. I like mine with a bottle of Mandarin Jarritos. There's a small Ramada shaded table area if you feel like eating on the spot which is lovely on a hot day. Friendly service and tasty food 😋 🦋”

“We've come here many times and we've never had a bad meal but the service can be hit and miss, but tonight I can say that it was 100% amazing. The guy was easy to order from and knowledgeable and when I told him that we had a severe avocado allergy he guaranteed that he would make sure it never came anywhere near our food. Food came out super quick and he was just overall really polite givethat man a raise! I will be coming back more often because of the excellent service provided today, I wish I had caught his name so I could be more specific”

“We had a lovely time seated outside with our large group including children. The service was amazing and we were so happy to be welcomed by the friendly staff. Our meals were delicious and were excited to come back and try more options from this restaurant. A few favorites of the group included the tacos, torta and mole. We also loved the margaritas!”

“We've been customers since 2020. We liked the food before new ownership, but now it's fantastic. The camerones a la diablo has better shrimp than before, and it's cooked better now. My husband and I both noticed an improvement. Attentive staff, great salsa, quality food.”

“Come on now. Taco Bell is everyone’s guilty pleasure you don’t want to admit. This one is clean, clean bathrooms, friendly staff but seem to always be training someone on the line (not surprising all fast food places have high turnover. Always Tacobell tasty I can’t resist that bean burrito with extra cheese and onions!”
