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!

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.

I made a reservation via open table and my reservation was honored immediately. I am so happy I made the reservation. The food and service were outstanding!! The only drawback was parking and having to pay for it. Otherwise and awesome night.

Address needs to be updated as we went to the wrong location. There’s no where close to park. Our table for 2 was set up next to the bar. Lots of people standing over our table in the packed bar.
