“ The food is good. Servings are adequate for the price. The sweet bread tastes good. I would recommend that they serve a soft roll with the small bowl of soup they serve on dinner time. ”
“ The food at La Vaquita Bakery was excellent! The barbacoa especially stood out—flavorful, and left me wanting more. Some of the baked goods did seem a little older or not as fresh, but overall, the quality and taste were still great. I’ll definitely be back to try more! ”
“ Food was good and hit the spot. Service was kind of a miss. The waiter never came back by to refill the coffee. Also when you go to pay at the front, it's kind of a pay whatever number they give you. It's not broken out to show how they got there ”
