El Vagon Tacos

Super good! Bianca my server (per my receipt) was super sweet and made the whole experience better. came solo for lunch and she made sure i was always good! would come back from ep for this!

5 stars all around! Bianca was my server and I couldn’t have asked for better service! She made me feel so welcome and taken care of… it was like going to your favorite family members house and getting the best meal of your life! I am so happy I stopped by. It wasn’t just a good meal, it was a great EXPERIENCE. Thank you again Bianca & cooking crew !! If you’ve been thinking about trying their food, don’t think about it and JUST DO IT!! You won’t regret it!! OH! And their salsa!!!! Is the best ever!!! I tried their birria and alambre tacos! + their rice. It was all AMAZING!!!

Everything you’d expect from a small cafe in the barrio! Great atmosphere, beautiful views around the building & of course, the very delicious TRUE New Mexico style food! Full of flavors and just the right amount of heat. Very recommend!

I stopped for my first visit to El Vagon Tacos. I tried the birria ramen and the birria tacos. Both were absolutely excellent. Rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service made the meal even better. A big shout-out to Arely, who took such great care of me. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving something delicious and want to be treated like family. 🌮🔥

Our food was delicious and came out very quickly. The tropical agua fresca is a must have - and you can’t go wrong with birria. The service is amazing. Arely/Areli made our night and was so sweet! Ask for her if you want an amazing experience ☺️

Our server was incredible and the food was amazing, especially for the price! My only complaint is that the restaurant is a little cramped but that isn’t really something they can control

Delicious tacos with good sized meat portions. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by poor service. Not sure how 3 tables that walked in after me received their food before my two orders of tacos. Fun, colorful decor. Seating is limited and not suited for large parties, 4 and under is best.

Wow, what a great place to eat at. The customer service was outstanding and the food was super delicious! We ordered the parrilla with carne asada (10 tortillas included) and chips and guacamole on the side. You dont have to order chips they provide chips with three different salsa. To drink we had the agua de Pina and strawberry. Highly recommend to stop by and try their food.

Let me tell you! The inside when you walk in it's so beautiful all the colors and plants loved! They also have lotería images and some cute quotes on the wall. Service was very welcoming and attentive to customers. First time here and the birria ramen did not disappoint! The flavor is there and it delicious abosolutely loved there sweet potatoe fries I was just missing ranch. Ordered shrimp tacos and they were so good only thing was the sauce on top was a little tooo spicy, the tacos are preety big in size and they have enough meat in each taco. Ramen was also a preety good size. They have agua frescas and we tried the lemon cucumber I believe and it was really good not to sweet. They also have a restroom very cute it was just too hot in there , turn the heater down a bit please

I was in the Las Cruces area and wanted to find a place to get tacos. I saw this place was well rated on Yelp so I decided to give it a try. The place is very cute and decorated well, and the service was phenomenal as well. I was given a basket of chips and salsa when I first sat down, and my order only took a few minutes to come out after that (less than 10 minute total). I got the pastor tacos which come with 4 quesa tacos, pastor, pineapple, and cilantro and onions for $11-12. I enjoyed the meal but the pastor was overcooked and very greasy. It tasted good when I added the salsas on top, though, and the meal was very filling. Pastor tacos are my favorite so I was a bit disappointed given the high ratings but they were still fairly tasty overall.

Wow we had a big group 8 people so I ordered ahead and got a ressy. Our waiter Claudio was excellent. Probably the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. Definitely a big thumbs up for this very authentic Mexican restaurant

Vibrant and cool little taco shop with some amazingly flavorful tacos! Not a large eat in facility but totally cute with good service if you eat in. Everyone loves a good taco and these will not disappoint! I was impressed with the meat ratio as they were definitely not skimpy. Salsas were really flavorful and could be put on a roof tile. Great stop!

Our friends who are newer to Las Cruces (like we are) keep raving out El Vagon and get it about 3x/week for their family. So we said, sure, we'll give it a shot. I got myself a chicken quesadilla and my husband the carne asada tacos. For me, it was the best quesadilla I ever had! The chicken was so tender and I don't know how they pack so much flavor into the meat. My husband absolutely loved his tacos. The restaurant itself is very cute, small and clean seating area - pretty intimate. The staff were so sweet and pleasant. I definitely recommend.

First time at El Vagon Tacos and we will be back. It's a small, cute restaurant with dine in, take out, and drive up ordering. The menu is small with tacos, quesadillas, and some appetizers. My girlfriend picked the vegan tacos while I had asada and chicken adobado. Four tacos in each order for just $10 is a great deal. Tacos also came with a couple salsas, cilantro, raw red onion, and caramelized onions. Check out this place if you are in town.

Came across this spot on a whim, the ladies were so welcoming and had an amazing attitude! I ordered two tacos of birria and carne asada and the price for these is amazing. 4 tacos for $10 highly recommend the quality is amazing. The consume was amazing as well. The vibe of the restaurant was so cool I loved the theme and the hand painted loteria cards was too cute!

Wow, what a find! Easily the best place we've eaten on our visit to Las Cruces, we'll be back. We ate so fast we forgot to take a picture but the ramen and tacos were fantastic and Bianca's service was over the top notch, best we've had!

Delicious tacos and the corn with cortija cheese is delicious. So good and the staff is friendly, fun and efficient.

Excellent find! El Vagon offered excellent service, dine in/drive thru or carry out. The service inside for dine in was superb. She was attentive, quick, and very friendly. It began to get crowded as we were leaving (Saturday at 12:30), but was nearly empty at noon. The atmosphere is so cute, and very open despite the size. Lots of bright colors, plants, and decor. Seating is a bit cramped but definitely tolerable. The birria was excellent - not too spicy, well flavored, and tender. Fresh ingredients make all the difference. Corn in a cup was five stars, so so good. We will definitely be back!

A great Mexican restaurant with a simple menu. $10/11 for 4 tacos or a quesadilla, just choose the meat. Yes there's a few other appetizers and drink options, but overall a solid place.

Great tacos and staff! Carne asada and birria tacos are the bomb! Decent size tacos that are delicious. Easy to call ahead and pick up at the drive window. Staff is friendly and chill Very cool vibe inside too.

Their tacos are amazing. The al pastor is incredible. Definitely worth making the stop here if you're going through Cruces.

Amazing Flavor! Quesadillas were Sooooo Good! I will definitely eat here the next time in Las Cruces!

The tacos were bomb! The service was awesome! I'm for sure driving from Alamogordo again just to get some more of these tacos!

Got the vegan tacos. They weren't my favorite. While the flavor was good, I think the potatoes were cubed way too big for these small street style corn tortillas. They were nearly impossible to keep inside and just slipped right out, no matter how careful I was. Would've been much more pleasant had they been diced smaller.

This is a very surprising spot, with Lotteria cards painted on the walls and a relaxing atmosphere. The blue corn tortilla chips compliment their salsa, which is excellent in flavor and heat. I ordered tacos, getting half chicken adobada, half al pastor. The pastor meat was dry, but the adobada was tender with perfect seasoning. Looking forward to my next visit.

Food is very good and menu is simple. I liked the flaxseed tortilla quesadilla; it is unique and I didn't even know it existed. Service was very quick and friendly. Atmosphere is good as well. It was very cool inside, small interior but not tight, enough for about 18 ppl to sit. If the parking lot is full, you can be sure that it's full inside too.

I came across to this taco place on the yelp and decided to try it out and in order a family box which it was little bit expensive but it was totally worth it and it didn't disappoint the meat was seasoned well and was so tender and the customer service was polite and the decoration was also nice looking this probably might be the best taco place in las cruces.

By @iwanttobewhatieat When we decided to move to New Mexico, everyone said, "Best tacos in the world." Okay, sure. I've been around the taco block; I'm sure they are not "The Best." Hands down, @elvagontacos served up the best tacos I have ever had in my life. If you don't live in New Mexico, you should travel here just to eat these tacos. If you live in New Mexico, you should eat these tacos. The Al Pastor tacos are so crisp and delicious; they melt in your mouth. The Asada has the perfect spice. The Birria Ramen is also a must; the meat-soaked broth is so pho king delicious you can't leave a drop in the bowl. El Vagon is a must and a must ALL THE TIME.

The food was good. The service was very nice too. The only issue I had was that I was charged for a second serving of chips with no warning. The other tables had a steady supply of chips and I don't know if they were charged for every serving. I found it strange that they would charge for the extra serving with no warning. The ambience is okay. There were a few flies that made it annoying. Overall, I still think the food is pretty decent for its price.

At lunch today, we went to check out El Vagon Tacos. The interior is small but they did remodel the look from the previous owners. It is nicer and decorated better than before. My wife had 2 chicken and 2 birria tacos and I had 2 asada and 2 birria tacos. Everything was delicious. The chips and salsa were also good. Our waitress was very friendly and efficient.

We are visiting from Cali and found El Vagón Tacos about 10 minutes off of highway 10 ... Ambiance was great!! And the food was delicious.. everything from the chips and salsa, the birria, carne asada and al pastor tacos and the sweet potato fries (a must try) were Amazing!!! Props to our server Arely for being professional and polite!!!! Thank you until next time!!

Saw the POVfoodie TikTok video and had to check this place out! The tacos are delicious and have so much filling! The pastor was our favorite. The birria Ramen is a must try!

A local hidden treasure. Great food. Great staff. Eat here often. Yelp wants me to type more words but not necessary. Love yummy tacos? Eat them at this rad spot.

The best Birria tacos, but everything from there tastes amazing. Never gotten a photo because it's eaten right away!

I have known the owner for a VERY long time and used to order plates of tacos from her when it was coming out of her home and watched as she turned the old taco shop into the best taco shop in town! I'm on a low carb diet and the keto birria taco is HEAVENLY. The service is always fantastic and every year on my birthday I get 2 trays and they are expected now. I love the look inside the building as it brings a classic look with a modern twist. I love this place!!!!

El Vagon is now on my list of taco joints to visit frequently. They load up the tacos and quesadillas with a very respectable amount of meat. That is hard to find these days with meat prices being so high. The birria quesadillas, al pastor tacos, and asada tacos were all great! We have a lot of choices for good tacos in Las Cruces so the competition is fierce but El Vagon is definitely up there with the best of the best. You seriously can't go wrong there so give them a try if you haven't already because they will become a go to for tacos if you do.

Finally a place with Vegan Tacos and they are really good!! Fast service and our waitress smiled the whole time we were there! Super nice place.

Went to this restaurant based off of previous reviews. It's small- yet has a great vibe. Me and my family went in and were happily greeted by the wait staff. The chips and salsa were phenomenal and abundant. We tried the watermelon strawberry and pineapple agua frecas drink which were great! We ordered the birria ramen and keto tacos with birria and asada meat. The tacos had great flavor and the ramen was awesome as well. Who would have thought ramen and birria went together but wow! The waitress was very friendly and made you feel comfortable, she even recommended dishes for next visit. We will definitely be back. This place is a must try 10/10.

I live down the street and I've been wanting to try this spot for a while. I finally caved in and went for lunch. The building looks like it's been renovated and has a really cute and comfy interior with cool decorations. You can sit down or take out, I decided to sit. They bring you chips and salsa which were very good. I ordered the watermelon guava agua frescas which was very yummy and fruity! To eat, I ordered the birria tacos, which typically you can't go wrong with. You get 4 tacos, toppings, and a cup of consome to dip. It was all very fresh and delicious. I left with a full belly and content with my visit. Staff was also very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for tacos in Las Cruces!

Good birria tacos although small for the price of $11.00 for 4 small street taco size. My daughter liked the birria Ramen which I've never had before, but tasted it and it was good. Nice military discount also.

I stopped in at El Vagon Tacos as it had been receiving rave reviews. I found the bistro small with about eight tables. It is bright and clean and well managed. The menu has little more to offer than tacos. The prices are reasonable. The service was polite and efficient. The young woman working the front was very sweet. I ordered two pork Birria Tacos and two Al Pastor with pineapple. They also provided a basket of chips with a little salsa. The chips we're almost black in color and had nothing to recommend them. Rate them a "D." The salsa had no flavor and was kind of weird. Rate it a "D." The consomme for the Birria was mediocre. The Birria Tacos were small tacos but they contained a large amount of meat. The flavor was good but there is better around town. Rate the Birria Tacos a "B" and the consomme a "C." The Al Pastor tacos were excellent..."A-.". All in all, this is a nice little taco shop and I hope they do well. Rate it overall about Three and Three Quarter Stars...meaning above average. Or, perhaps Four Stars. Forget the five star nonsense. .

Excellent tacos and great service! The loaded fries are also good. The place is small and quant, but overall, a very good eating experience.

First thing first, nice little place they have going. It's colorful and the set up is perfect for its size. The staff was nice and fast with our food as well. Now to the good part, the FOOD WAS AMAZING! the flavor was unique from other taco shops! The tacos were loaded to the top with meat! The cheese they used stayed warm and melted all the way through ‍. The salsas were delicious as well. For sure going back to try more of their food!

Tacos el Vagón is so delicious!!! Their Birria Ramen is the best in town hands down and I've had it at quite a few places. By husband got the Pollo Adobado Tacos and he was so pleased as well. The price is very affordable. I highly recommend!

Love the vibe of this place. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the staff are really sweet. Must stop place when you come to cruces.

These tacos are ridiculously delicious!!!!! And the people were super nice as well. The Alambre should not be missed.

I just moved here to Las Cruces and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find good Mexican tacos. It was my brother's bday and I decided to take a leap of faith then I saw the post about this place on social media. They matched the pictures!!! Great communication when ordering and EVERYONE LOVES THEM!! Came with all you need in the box including the condiments! The place from the outside does not match how great it looks on the inside. Definitely going to keep this as a regular spot!!!

The cheese with the tacos just wasn't my thing. They give you alot of meat if you like that. The sauce was a little salty. Overall good food.

Al pastor tacos were going excellent! I've never seen the meat cut that way on tacos but the flavors were there! Birria ramen was delicious and very flavorful. Aguas were delicious and very refreshing! Definitely coming back!
