    Food was excellent. Came out hot, salsa and chips were awesome, service was not the best. Cute place and decorated nice. We got the fajita for two chicken, steak and Shrimp and it was plenty.

    Service was mediocre, the only thing that saved them was the milanesa chicken torta and the micheladas, the margaritas need help and also they need ac.

    Chili relleno

    Surprisingly, exceeded expectations as I've mostly just discounted Americanized Mexican cuisine as not worth the stop. My rellenos were cooked perfectly, whilst my wife's enchiladas were your typical run of the mill you can find anywhere. Chips and salsa were fresh so that's a bonus that not every spot offers and quite tasty too. Rice n beans were definitely delish and the ambiance was on point. Offer charro beans by the warm fireplace and we may have a 5 star winner!

    The BEST Mexican food I've had in a long time! This restaurant is situated off 64 with a beautiful view of the waterfall in Toxaway. Everyone gets complimentary (and yummy) chips and salsa for the table. We started with a small order of the Chori queso, which was very good!! if anyone is wondering, the small size queso was plenty for our table of three adults (one of us did not dig in much but we definitely had leftover). I had the pineapple meal, which is on the menu as Pina vaquero and it was absolutely divine! I love that it came with shrimp, chicken and chorizo, as well as vegetables mixed in and with a side of beans and rice. The side of beans and rice was delicious, very authentic. Mama recommends the Pollo Loco and my stepdad had the chimichanga which he has every time they visit Los Vaqueros. They have a lot of options for the little ones including corn dog and chicken tenders (my toddler is so picky so he didn't touch anything we ordered him). I found the wine to be a great deal. Some were offered by the glass but the cab and a few others were priced based on half bottles so I got the Louis Martini Cabernet and it was perfect. If I lived closer I would be a regular customer!

    Complementary chips and salsa

    We were here the weekend of Valentine's Day. We loved the food! From the complementary chips and salsa, to our main dish, everything tasted fresh and delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance is really nice, we were seated by the window with a beautiful view of the outdoor.

    Driving to our hotel and on the way we wanted some take out Mexican food. I called and ordered over…read morethe phone, with lots of questions about sides and spice levels, the customer service was top tier. They were sooo nice and patient with answering all my questions. We ordered: carne asada, steak fajitas, and chicken flautas. CARNE ASADA The thinly sliced steak was lightly marinated and perfectly salted. Very tasty on top of rice, beans, avocado, pico de gallo, and chambray onions. So yummy. STEAK FAJITAS The thinly sliced steak was similar to the carne asada dish, but more flavorful because it was grilled with tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Everything the steak was grilled with comes with it, where everything is just cooked in the same delicious juices making such a hearty and aromatic dish. The fajitas come with rice, beans, fresh tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo and sour cream. CHICKEN FLAUTAS Deliciously deep fried, rolled up tortillas stuffed with shredded, lightly seasoned chicken on top of a bed of lettuce with a side of guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo. I could easily eat a dozen of these. Sooo perfectly crunchy and the filling is not only heart but pretty flavorful. Wished we had time to sit down and really enjoy our meal here, but the takeout was so impressive. Will definitely be coming back!

    awesome food great service for seated quickly would highly recommend. Chips and queso was greatread more

The service is friendly, the prices are low, but most importantly, the food is delicious! The mild salsa on the table was some of the best ever. I ordered the arroz con pollo and paid only $1 extra for veggies added in (broccoli, zucchini, peppers, onions, and tomatoes) and it put the taste over the top! And my order still was under $10! The kids meals were very reasonable (less than $5 each) and a good portion of yummy food. My husband had the fajitas, and was impressed by how much meat was there, instead of just fluffing it up with tons of onions like some places do. We all ate well and were pleased with our meals. I can't wait to get back to Rosman and eat here again! Check it out :D

We saw they had food too, mostly tapas style; but pretty extensive, so we ordered a few appetizers to share as well. We ordered the edamame which had truffle salt and soy sauce spices. It was a little messy, but really good, and a great deal at $7. We also ordered the bacon-wrapped scallops, ($15). There was a sweet Thai bourbon sauce on those; and the reviews were mixed. My sister thought they were too sweet and my daughter's boyfriend and my husband thought they were delicious! Although they do have a full bar; we only ordered beer & wine. The two wines ordered at the table were Old Soul Pinot Noir and a Sauvignon Blanc. Again prices were good at $7. Three of us had beer; Miller Lite & Michelob Ultra for just a few bucks each. Our visit was at 5:30 on a Friday and the place was just starting to fill up. They had limited seating due to the covid pandemic and there were tables, high tops, the bar area plus a patio. It was chilly on our visit, but there was a group on the patio taking advantage of the cool weather with the tower heater. There only appeared to be 2 employees out front; the bartender & one server.....they both did their best to keep up with orders as the place became busier and busier. I really liked this place & it has a great location right on the main highway. The prices were good and there were many options for eating and drinking with very affordable prices.
