Customers from Port Arthur and beyond stopped by La Vaquita in Port Arthur on Wednesday, enjoying the new location’s first day in business at the corner of Gulfway and Jefferson Drive.

La Vaquita sells all types of grocery items that include, fruits, vegetable, meats, dairy products, baked goods and Mexican food. The location includes a restaurant that fits close to 100 customers.
