    Took forever to get food because they weren’t prepared for a large party. Missed part of concert because it took over an hour to get an order of fajitas

    Seated within 3 minutes of our reservation time. Very prompt service . Need to add a “white girls” hot sauce 😂 . Salsa was very hot ! Fajitas came out hot , no sour cream or shredded cheese and had to ask another waiter for tortillas . But thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We will be back

    I was expecting enjoy the Los Vaqueros of old. I was sorely disappointed. The food was bland. All the way from the chips and salsa to the entree. No flavor. Even salt didn’t help. Queso tasted like cold, concession stand cheese from a can. I won’t be back.

    We made a reservation at the restaurant for 7:15. We arrived at 7:00 and they told us it would be a 20 min wait. We stood at the front and observed a 4-top table empty for the entire time we stood there. At 7:20 they sat us in the 4-top that was empty the entire time while several other parties were sat before us that arrived after us.

    1st time at the new location. Love that it is so much closer to Billy Bob's and easier to access. The food is the same good quality as we remember. Our server, Hemma, was lovely, courteous and attentive.

    Brunch food was great! Better than the reviews said. I would go back and recommend it to others. Parking isn't good - have to park by Billy Bobs and pay. But some of us parked on the street

    Generally a good place to eat but was disappointed this time. We had a reservation for 6pm for 8 people., We did not get sat until 6:35 and then took another 10 minutes before we were greeted by our server. Once he started waiting on us service was good, food came out quickly and was good.

    The table was ready at our reservation time. It was very crowded and the service was unbelievably good with as many people as there were. We were finished with more than enough time to get to our concert.
