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!

    Have always enjoyed this place (in both their old and current locations). Given the proximity to Billy Bob’s, it’s easy to see why it would be crowded on concert nights. This visit was way overcrowded. We ended up at a table placed in the middle of the walkway coming out of the kitchen so we were constantly being bumped into by waitstaff (to no fault of their own- we’d been sat in the way). It made for an uncomfortable experience overall. The food and drinks were still great and our server, though clearly overworked, put forth his best effort.

    Took forever to get a server. It was like they skipped over us. Otherwise, the food was good!

    Menu items are fairly priced, but you have to pay for parking, $20+ in some cases. The parking is neither convenient nor particularly safe, even for $20+. The old location was far superior.

    To be honest, we just aren’t fans of the new restaurant. We found the other one to have a better atmosphere and while there were a lot of people, it wasn’t nearly as noisy. The food was good but it was so noisy we couldn’t visit with the couple we invited to come with us. Super disappointing. This place used to have ‘the whole pkg’ and now it’s just like any other place, nothing special.

    The entire experience was amazing. I’ve done several events with Los Vaqueros and this was my first time at the new location and I was super happy! So thankful to their entire team that accommodated us!

    The only part that was a negative is that when we got there - with our reservation - it took about 10 minutes to get us seated and there were VERY slow.
