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!

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!

Tables could be farther apart, multiple times my elbow was hit as I was taking bites of my food. Live band was good played good music but was so loud you had to almost yell to have a conversation.

This was the first time coming to this restaurant. Chips and salsa were good. Queso was good. Skinny Margarita was good with the topper. Food was OK great vibe though and great location so I would definitely come back just for maybe an appetizer and drinks.
