Vaquero: The sweet taste of mesquite with digestive easing benefits
$1.99 – $4.99
“I wanted a blend of spices and herbs that felt like home but living in Southern California the ability to use wood burning pits was not allowed in our gated community. I missed the tastes of the ranch cooked food with freshly gathered mesquite. With the “Vaquero” blend I was able to think back to when my grandparents would cook fresh meat over an open pit and family would gather together and have a great time. However, when I would make any sort of steaks or red meat in my home some members of my family digestive tract would not accept store bought cuts into their diet and they would experience cramps or worse. I did not think of the method of cooking such as charcoal or propane being the issue but the lack of proper ingredients not in the recipes. I created the “Vaquero” to allow a version of my home growing up into my home as an adult.
Tradition and family bonding come to mind when I make a meal with “Vaquero” and knowing that the blend is all-natural and holds a variety of benefits for everyone’s well-being makes this a blend that mixes home with health.” -D. Alejandro Garcia
Vaquero consists of the following ingredients only:
- Onion- Antioxidants and Antibacterial properties
- Garlic- Antibacterial properties
- Oregano- Antibacterial properties
- Turmeric- Antioxidant
- Cumin- Assist with food-borne illnesses
- Ginger- Assistance with digestive problems and cramps
- Chimayo- A specialty pepper but carriers the same benefits as all chili peppers at a lower Scoville scale (4,000-6,000) to benefit the digestive tract.
- Black Pepper: Increased circulation
- Mesquite Powder: For the hint of an outdoor aroma and smoky flavor
The “Vaquero” is intended for a fresh hunt or pure meat cuts which is why the mix has digestive and cleansing ingredients added together but with all the additives and unknown origins of store-bought meats this blend is perfect for everyone. If you have a sensitive stomach or digestive system adding the “Vaquero” to your meal will ease your pains and allow you to enjoy red meats or any meal that has otherwise caused issues to your digestive system.

One of my favorite spices, especially for grilling beef. The whole family lives it.

It’s very Hard to write this review because my heart says Veliz blend is the best, but in my opinion this is by far the #1 Best spice in STC… No other compares to the tastes and aroma. Definitely an Award winning spice.

Vaquero and Raider!!!!!! If I had to pick a favorite these two would be 1a and 1b. I am a meat lover, use this on Ribeye every grill season. Also goes great on a tri-tip or roast. The best!
Vaquero was the first spice I tried from STC, it has a special place in my heart and belly, haha!
