Welcome to Los Vaqueros - in the heart of the historic Fort Worth Stockyards - the original location of our family-owned and operated restaurants.

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!

    Overall it was a great experience with good service. The only downside was the extremely limited bar menu.

    New location has no parking and no info on website for where to park. Lobby is too small to hold more than 10 people waiting for a table. 2 guitar players was so loud we couldn’t have a conversation with each other. Food was average. Service was great and food delivery was fast.

    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.
