El Vaquero Taqueria in Helena is home to the best street tacos in Big Sky Country, and the restaurant reportedly has a cult following. Here's what Lovefood said about it:

This humble lunch-only spot in Helena has earned a cult following for its no-frills, flavor-packed street tacos. The carnitas variety is the standout – slow-cooked, tender pork is piled into double corn tortillas and topped with fresh cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lime. Each bite is rich, juicy, and deeply satisfying. With picnic tables out front and a steady line of loyal fans, this tiny taqueria is a must-visit. Other favorites include carne asada, al pastor, and lengua, all served with the same authentic, no-nonsense flair.

Judging by the reviews on Google, customers literally can't get enough of the tacos at El Vaquero Taqueria. The food is delicious and the portions are extremely generous. Stop in on Tuesday, and take advantage of 'Tamale Tuesday.'

Authentic Mexican food may not be the first thing you think of when you visit Montana, but trust us, you won't be disappointed.
