You may not be wowed by the decor or the furnishings at Taqueria el Vaquero in Provo, but the food is worth saddling up for. On the taco front, you can order just about every kind of cooked meat that’s ever been spooned into a warm corn tortilla. Which is how they roll at Taqueria el Vaquero: You get two small corn tortillas per taco, along with enough meat that you can more than satisfactorily turn each 99-cent taco into two 49.5-cent tacos. There’s an excellent salsa bar to help you garnish your taco as you see fit, and the menu also includes tortas (a sort of taco sandwich served on thick, hearty bread), sopes (a tostada-like flatbread dish) and huge quesadillas and burritos.
