    One of our favorite Mexican Restaurants, alway good food and great service. We had Jesus and he was perfectly attentive and quick. He even invented a vegetarian plate for one of the guests. I had Susana's Dinner but with a fried egg on top and a couple of Margarita's, some of the best around. We met friends this time and closed the place down but they never hurried us out.

    We've been here several times now and have never been disappointed. The service is attentive, the menu selections are plentiful - including their Blue Zone offerings, the food is delicious, and the ambiance is warm & welcoming. We'll certainly be returning often!

    My husband and I got married at Los Vaqueros 4 years ago. We return every year for our wedding anniversary. We had an amazing waitress named Kim who was so sweet, kind, and helped my husband choose the most tastiest Margarita to drink.

    We made a reservation on Open Table. We arrived a few minutes early but were seated immediately. The hostess, however, was rather inattentive. Server was great! Eggs weren’t prepared quite right but, overall, the meal was good.

    The food and service is normally VERY good. The food was not tasty, it arrived cold, chips were stale. It was busy as it was last day of stock show, but not even worth going again especially during that time frame. We have been on a VERY busy mother's day and food was great. Not sure what happened.

    Service and food was great. This was our first experience as a last minute lunch spot. So glad we stopped in. I had the chicken tacos, lunch special and my husband had a dinner meal. Nice portions. Chips and salsa was YUMMY. I'd buy the salsa if they sold it.

    We went here before going to the Nutcracker at Bass Hall. Nothing like Mexican food before an event like that! Haha! Seriously though, the food was very good and the band had just started before we left, but sounded good as well. We will be back! Good place!

    My daughter and I decided to eat here before going to a concert at Billy Bob’s. We made a reservation at 7:15, which they were unable to find. They said it was going to be a 30min wait, but they did go ahead and seat us right away because I was able to show them my reservation confirmation. Unfortunately things went down hill from there. The place was packed and I believe the staff was very overwhelmed. It took forever for our server to take our drink order, even longer to get them, and over an hour to get a simple order of fajitas. The food was ok, but not worth an hour long wait.

    Was able to get a table without a wait. The service was excellent. Our waitress made sure a cup wasn’t empty and kept the chips and salsa going. The burritos were seasoned perfectly, lots of good taste. The shrimp was not fresh.

    We ordered them carne asada plate and the mahi mahi. The asada plate was good but the beans were not great and neither was the salad. The mahi mahi was not great. There was so much cheese on top that was the only thing I tasted and the fish itself felt dry. We were expecting so much more from a restaurant that is at the Stockyard and seems to have a good reputation. Overall not impressed.

    The hostess was wonderful. The waitress stated the drink I asked about WAS on happy hour and, I ordered two at one time since I knew I’d be there for a bit, and turns out is excluded. The manager did NOT honor the waitress’s mistake. 1-2 price to full price for a half decent drink is ridiculous and the manager should have realized that most people don’t order 2 at one time at 15 a pop! Very unprofessional.
