"“Look for the giant cow” is how many locals will explain how to find La Vaquita. This counter-service taco stand in the Tuscaloosa-Lakewood neighborhood is consistently one of the highest-rated spots in Durham. It has all the taco basics — carnitas, lengua, al pastor, asado, pollo, and more. The Tacos Dorados are four corn tortillas filled with chicken and mayonnaise then deep fried and served with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, crema, rice, and beans." - Matt Lardie
