Love the vibe here, especially if you can catch a night when the DJ is here. Servers are prompt and courteous. I've been here twice in the past week so I guess you could say I like it here. For drinks, Mexican martinis and margaritas are perfect, not too strong and not too sweet. For food, I wasn't crazy for the birria tacos and wouldn't get them again, but everyone else in my group had delicious plates which is why I gave it another chance. Second time around I got the al pastor mini tacos. These by far are the best al pastor tacos I've had! So juicy and flavorful. Can't wait to come back and try something new. read more

Went back with our aunt who was in from AZ. She ordered mini tacos which came with beans. The waitress asked if she wanted beans, she said yes and brought out the charro beans. Well my aunt (who is almost 70) didn't see on the menu it said charro beans was an up charge, refried beans came free. So when she got her bill she was surprised to see she was charged extra for the beans. Mind you the refried beans DID come with her tacos. Why did the waitress not ask "do you want the refried that comes with it or charro for an up charge?" Instead, the waitress automatically gave her charro beans. You don't automatically give someone the upgraded version to their meal and especially not without asking which kind of beans does she want. I'm writing this update bc in my last review the waitress did the same thing by up charging my husband's meal when he didn't ask to. BEWARE here! The food is pretty decent, nothing crazy but it hits the spot if you need some decent Mexican food. However, go over your bill and clarify everything-twice! Just in case because they will try to make extra money off upgrading you without asking you. read more

My new go-to place to take out of town visitors for breakfast! Service was fast and friendly! The food was incredible. Everything was super fresh; the tortillas tasty and warm; the home fries tender and crispy. The vibe was cozy and for a Saturday morning we were able to get in and get out in good time. read more

Los Vaqueros Cafe & Grill - people eating - Mexican Near Me - Kyle, Texas

Our travels take us from Manor, TX to Kyle TX and it was definitely worth the trip. Service was super friendly and fast. Older spot but the upkeep shows and its clean. Chips, Salsa and Queso are a must....Salsa had a decent kick to it, and a couple scoops in the Queso is just what it needed...Wife went with the Flautas with double rice...Hot, crisp and tasty...rice fresh and fluffy...Myself I hit the Spicy Green Enchilada Plate, Beans and Rice...not so spicy for me, but very good....Beans were solid...again rice hit the spot. More than worth the drive, but thats what we enjoy to do. read more

While working in Kyle, we passed by this place and noticed all of the vehicles parked in front and back. I looked on Google for the name and we immediately decided that we would return for lunch. We had a late lunch but the restaurant was still busy. It's a cute, quaint little restaurant with a lot of personality. The waitresses were very friendly and helpful. I ordered the crunchy beef tacos and my coworker ordered the fish (tilapia) tacos on flour tortillas. Before our food came out, she brought us some chips and salsa. The salsa was amazing!! It was everything salsa should be - spicy and flavorful!! Our food came out within 15 minutes of ordering. We both enjoyed our meals. My crunchy tacos were delicious. I even put the salsa on them for that added "kick". I was satisfied. Los Vaqueros is definitely a go-to for Tex Mex. Our waitress even recommended the burgers, but I wanted tacos. read more

The building is very old. As we walked in, we caught a hint of old home smell. Once we proceeded to our seating, we were fine. We got that scent again when we headed out. So, it's only in that small entrance room, where you get that smell... they have indoor and outdoor seating. The food was good. The Gorditas and the shredded chicken in the gorditas lacked Mexican flavor. The menudo had good flavor but lacked panistas and hominy. The place size was large enough to share food. The Mexican martini lacked flavor. They served us well considering we were a large party. I think we will come back to try the lunch menu. read more

De. Lic. ious. Came here with a group of 7 during lunch and we were sat immediately. Unfortunately service was a little slow but it was very kind of our server was sweet and accurate! None of our orders or drinks were wrong or forgotten. The food was delicious and the salsa here is top notch. Specifically, the tortilla soup was amazinggg. According to my coworker the BURGERS are also amazing here. Who would have thunk? If I'm ever in the area again this will be my go-to for sure! read more

Great breakfast tacos. Staff is fast and friendly. My goto local Tex-Mex place in kyle. You can't go wrong with dinner here either.

It was our first time at Los Vaqueros. We wanted to try something local we hadn't been to in Kyle and found them on Yelp. It is a quaint location with a limited inside dining but plentiful outside seating. There was a short wait for a Saturday at 7p, only about 15 minutes. We went for our standard fare when we go to a new Mexican joint- enchiladas for the hubby and the chimichanga for me. The chips and salsa was good. Salsa had a good bite to it. Hubby got the vaquero enchilada plate with two fried eggs- his favorite. Three enchiladas- 1 beef and 2 chicken were his choice. Overall the plate was good but could have used more cheese. We both agree the beans needed a little more flavor. My beef chimichanga was good. I had it topped with queso and added some of that yummy salsa for extra flavor. Service was good and efficient. read more

Service was great by Beatriz. The food was something new for me. The parillada was delicious. Pictures don't do it justice, it's all in the flavor. Glad we came here for lunch. read more

Our second time eating here! Delicious plates at a good price! The service was great and friendly! The ambiance is cozy and very casual! Definitely a great neighborhood taco place to check out in Kyle! There's more parking at the back (so don't stress about finding a spot in the front of the restaurant). The food arrives pretty fast! My favorite so far is their lengua tacos. The flavors are amazing! The tomato and onions are the perfect combination. Their sopaipillas were delicious! Freshly made and had a crispy crunch! read more

Took my niece to eat at Vaqueros for lunch. The staff were pleasant and friendly. I had the creamy chicken enchiladas and my niece had the #3. The food was amazing. Very tasty hot sauce and chips. The atmosphere was very comfortable, and easygoing. We will definitely be returning customers. read more

I was visiting family in the Austin/Kyle area and had lunch with a good friend here. I live in Portland, where Tex Mex food is terrible for the most part, so I was quite excited. I hadn't been to Texas in a long time. This place has a very attractive, bright atmosphere with beautiful tiled tables. Service was excellent. We started with the guacamole and chips. The guac was very fresh and clean tasting, also quite delish! For lunch, my friend and I both chose the cheese enchiladas. That might not sound so exciting, but they were! The enchiladas were rich, creamy and tasty, covered in an excellent sauce. The sides of refried beans and Mexican rice were also quite flavorful. I loved Los Vaqueros and wish I could transport it to Portland. I'll just have to wait until I can visit Texas again. read more

First, there's more parking in back! When we arrived mid-morning for breakfast, the front parking lot was full, a good sign. We were seated in the patio area right away, and our food arrived super quick. I'm always amazed at how fast a good Mexican place can get food to the table. Despite being there for breakfast, we requested and received chips and salsa. The salsa was great but be aware: they don't skimp on the jalapeños; it's got spice. I enjoyed my Huevos Divorciados (each egg had custody of the beans in the middle) but my hubby was disappointed with the quality of the steak in his Steak Rancheros ("no buenos"). He found the refried beans to be too soupy for his taste, but I liked mine. We drank coffee (nice and hot) and soda, but I heard a guy at the table nearby order a "loaded" mimosa (it had vodka), so the full bar is operational all day. read more

Went for 1st visit as a new resident of the city. My neighbors advised against going there, but I decided to try myself. Hostess seated me near the door where people were standing in front of my table. Waiter/waitress never came by for 10 Mins. I got up and left - not going back even though 1 mile from my home. Garcia's is best I've found so far, no need for an inconsiderate establishment. read more

Los Vaqueros Cafe & Grill - My lunch burrito and husband's tamale plate - Mexican Near Me - Kyle, Texas

Y'all. This place was so good. It is not gourmet, but it's not supposed to be, and it is a 5 star spot in my book. It's homemade food served in a restaurant. It's the beans our abuelas made when we were kids. It's the food from family fiestas and other gatherings. This just authentic food that fills your belly and makes you want to come back to find out what else is good on the menu! It is not expensive, it's affordable for a family weekend meal. The staff is kind and attentive. The place was bustling, music playing, people enjoying themselves. I shared a small queso with my friend, brought the rest home for later. I ordered the puffy taco plate, it was so filling and very good. I'm relocating to Kyle soon and this place will be a staple for me. read more

The aesthetic and service of the restaurant are absolutely great! Our waitress was so kind and friendly. She got everything right and visited our table at just the right times to make sure everything was well and up-kept. The food was hit-or-miss. The sausage patty and chicken fried steak (w/ white gravy atop it) were disgusting. They were clearly low-quality and not tasty at all. The pancakes, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and toast were so delicious though! The eggs were cooked perfect, had the right touch of seasoning, and the toast was actually better than Whataburger's. The temperature of everything mentioned wasn't hot (which would've been nice), but warm. I figure that's why all our food came out at once. The salsa here is pretty good too; it's not chunky, a nice level of spiciness, and flavorful too. After my first time here, I'd recommend the restaurant and would certainly go back to eat again. Just don't get the chicken fried steak or sausage patty. read more

Great tacos and I love the burritos and enchiladas you won't be disappointed just saying

Best Mexican food in Kyle. Not sure if they got a new cook in the past year or so but this place really turned it around. I order delivery from here at least twice a week and i will continue as long as their food continues to be amazing. Has the queso topped steak burrito today and man it was the best thing I've ever eaten. AMAZING. and i wasn't even that hungry, just ordered to feed the kids. You have to try their burrito!!!! But all their food is amazing. read more

I have to update my review from 3 stars to 5 stars. EVERY time that we have eaten here , the food is so hot and fresh. For example, this morning I had the Migas at brunch. The potatoes come out very hot and crispy, while at other restaurants they are usually off a steam table. The food here is home cooked, even the tortillas. I gave a three-star review last time due to the service being sub par. Today we had the same waiter. He said he remembered us, that was the day a waiter walked off of the job. Today service was different, just perfect. And a big change, there was a short wait time because they left a few tables empty so (apparently) the ratio of tables to waiters was balanced. GREAT JOB LOS VASQUEROS! read more

Absolutely love this restaurant. The food, the service and friendliness of the staff (and the margaritas!) have us going very regularly to Los Vaqueros! read more

Los Vaqueros Cafe & Grill - Menudo - Mexican Near Me - Kyle, Texas

Service was whatever but the food was great! Good queso, good guacamole, margs were solid.

Los Vaqueros USED to be my favorite Kyle restaurant, not anymore. The restaurant has traditionally had good food and modest food prices. That part is still pretty much the same. On the negative side, the restaurant has adopted multiple anti-consumer policies that discourage further use of the restaurant, especially for family occasions. There is now a mandatory 20% service charge for parties of five or more. A mandatory service charge for large parties is not uncommon. Treating a party of five, however as a large party is unheard of. An aggressive implementation of this policy would start at six people and a more usual implementation would be for parties of eight or more. Perhaps they want to discourage too many customers from coming there as the restaurant is obviously understaffed. There is also an additional service charge of 4% for use of credit cards. The charge to use credit cards is an unwelcome spreading practice, but Los Vaqueros seems to be leading the charge to make extra unearned profit on the use of cards as the usual credit card company charge to a restaurant is 3.5% and most businesses that have adopted this practice only charge 3%. Finally, Los Vaqueros has now adopted the practice of charging for more than one small basket of chips. If I go back, which is doubtful, I will only go with a maximum of one other person as this restaurant penalizes diners who desire a family social event. read more

Glad this is on the east side of 35 even though it's Mexican. Hard to find seating during peak times. Even if you sit at a dirty table, it would not get cleaned until you flag someone down. Food on the other hand is yummy!!!! read more

My husband and I have been wanting to check out this place for quite a while, but the lines on the weekend are always so long and there are so many people meeting outside. We woke up early this weekend and headed right over to see if we would be able to get a table without all of the crowd. We were in luck! We were seated immediately and ordered our food less than five minutes later. I absolutely love the amount of breakfast options that they have! I ended up getting a scramble with jalapeños tomatoes and onions. It came with potatoes, refried beans, and tortillas. The tortillas were delicious and the meal was pretty good. It is very reasonably priced, and definitely one of the better options in the Kyle area for breakfast! I would come back to this place again! read more

I live around the corner from this restaurant in the Silverado neighborhood and rarely go here but literally an hour ago I needed something to go before I went to work. I wanted tacos, so I ordered four mini tacos, two Carne Asada, and two Al Pastor. All I can really say is I got about three dollars worth of food for $12. And the pastor was burnt, literally. I cannot fathom how someone put this to go order together and thought " this is good, they'll definitely come back after I serve them this " You are much better off going across the interstate to Taqueria Los Jaliscienses. If I ever go back here, I might say something. But then I'd have to choose to go back here. read more
