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!

The food was good, margaritas were great. Service was very good once we were recognized, which took a few minutes. The biggest negative is the restaurant has no parking. They just moved to a new location from one just up the street that had a large parking lot. We had to park two blocks away at Cavender’s. Another option is Billy Bob’s. What restaurant doesn’t have parking? To their credit, they were apologetic and said they’re working on getting valet service.

Fast service. The food was tasty but not exceptional. The chips and salsa were really tasty and the margaritas perfect!

We had reservations, but after waiting 45 minutes past our reserved time, we ended up eating at the bar. We spoke to the hostesses several times to check on our table. They were clueless. The staff behind the bar was excellent and worked hard.

Exactly what we were looking for- traditional Mexican! The carne asada exceeded our expectations. It’s disappointing that they are moving because the ambiance was so cool!

Out of all Mexican beer besides Dos Equis and poor service with no birthday celebration for my daughter’s birthday. Expected more and a more welcoming and attentive staff.
