Signature Dish Spotlight: #36 Carnitas Meal-Delicious roasted pork tips. Served with Mexican rice, refried beans, pico de gallo guacamole salad and flour tortillas. Carnitas, literally meaning "little meats", is a dish of Mexican cuisine originating from the state of Michoacán. Carnitas are made by braising or simmering pork in oil. The process takes three to four hours, and the result is very tender and juicy meat. The traditional way to cook carnitas is in a thick-bottomed pot, which disperses the heat evenly in a process similar to confit. Once appropriate tenderness is achieved, the heat is turned up and the outside of the pork begins to crisp.

One of our signature dishes we get questions on is our customer favorite, Cochinita Pibil. It's a traditional Mexican slow-roasted pork dish from the Yucatán Peninsula. Preparation of traditional cochinita involves marinating the meat in citrus juice, seasoning it with annatto seed which imparts a vivid orange color, and roasting the meat while it is wrapped in banana leaf. It's also our special every Thursday for only $11.49! Come and enjoy authentic Mexican dishes at El Vaquero!
We will be celebrating National Guacamole Day by serving a free side of guacamole w/entree (one per table) all day at all locations. From Gainesville Guacamole: When you're eating guacamole, you're eating history that dates back to the 1500s. The Aztec empire created this spread with the same exact ingredients that local restuarants use today. The Aztecs called this saucy spread "ahuaca-mulli" which translates to avocado-mixture or avocado-sauce. Pretty creative, eh? Of course, the secret didn't stay with the Aztecs for long. The Spaniards encountered the Aztec people and their ahuaca-mulli while exploring the New World and knew it would be a hit back home. Unfortunately, avocados are not n
