Our original and signature blend. The one that started it all. Santa Maria Style with a kick! If you like traditional Santa Maria Style offerings, but wish it had a little more spice to it, then look no further. Prepared in small batches to preserve quality and freshness!
Zesty, savory, and tasty! You can (and people have) literally put this on just about ANYTHING.
Raw taste: You can really taste the spices. Cooked: The spice mellows out. Not too spicy for the kiddos (tried and true).
A chef recently described it. "You get hints of spice, then savory. You taste is again, and you get sweet and smokey notes. So many flavor profiles". - Robert F.
Contains: Salt, Garlic, Onion, Paprika, Various Peppers ( including Black & White Pepper, Cayenne), a hint of Sugar, Parsley, Turmeric, Citric Acid.
"So "Effen" good! 'Brand X's' better watch out!"
"This seasoning is AMAZING! It goes great on everything. It just gives a bit of a kick to make your meats taste that much better. I will definitely be keeping this in stock!"
"El Vaquero has hit a home run. One of a kind seasoning. I was seeking something new and this by far beats any combo I have tried. I’ve used on multiple entrees including chicken, burgers, steaks, roast and veggies. I will continue to do so. Highly recommended!"

Many moons ago I began experimenting with different seasonings because of the lack of variety I was getting on the spice racks at local stores. Soon enough I had come up with a mixture that started creating a small buzz. People would me ask what I was using and where they could buy some. Many family events, plenty of catering/ fundraiser events have passed, and not much has changed, other than more and more people wanting to buy this custom blend of spices.
Fast forward 20+ years... I'm still here BBQing and making my seasonings!
This seasoning originated with devotion, patience, love, and nothing has changed. I still use this virtually every day! HANDMADE in small batches to preserve quality and freshness.
