Welcome to Los Vaqueros - in the heart of the historic Fort Worth Stockyards - the original location of our family-owned and operated restaurants. For the Cisneros family, the preparation of Mexican food is an art, and one that’s been passed down for 3 generations. We’re dedicated to old world quality, family recipes and fresh ingredients, and creating the delicious Tex-Mex dishes you’ve come to love. Join us for brunch, lunch, dinner or cocktails, or let us plan your next special event, catered party or wedding ceremony in the authentic surroundings of a 1915 historic packinghouse filled with antiques, love, and good food!

****Please note that the current Los Vaqueros is still open and accepting reservations until our new location in Rodeo Plaza is ready in late September! We look forward to serving you at our new location. In the meantime, please join us at our current location!

    Went to the new location and sat out on the patio and it was so lovely. The food was good, but they were out of the shrimp cocktail so we ordered the stuffed jalapeños for an appetizer. Carne asada plate and flauta plate were our main dishes. All was great. Had a couple of margaritas and they were able to make my "off the menu" Frogarita that I usually order at the Willow Park location. Our server seemed new and inexperienced, but she was super sweet and was clearly doing her best. She did great. Parking was the only negative. Great spot to go to if you're hanging out in the stockyards though.

    While we do prefer the ambience of the former Los Vaqueros, we did have a great experience at the new location. Service was great, food was delicious and we appreciated the extras for our sons birthday!

    Great experience! Got it super fast on a busy Saturday evening thanks to open table. Service was great. They had live music. Food was good. Only thing I would change would be the queso blanco- bland, missing flavor and served semi warm.

    Guacamole was spot on, I had the shrimp diablo enchilada and it was very good! Hard to find but worth the search.

    A longtime customer of the old location and heard the service had diminished; however, that was not our experience. I made a reservation for a table and was immediately sat as soon as we walked in. Food came quickly and was just as delicious as it has always been.

    We had a concert to attend at Billy Bob's and so checked in for our 8 PM reservation early. We were finally seated at 8:35 in a loud corner next to a private party room and had to race through our meal. Servers both behind the bar and on the dining room floor were great...the food; pretty average. Good salsas though!
