Stop by again and had a another amazing experience. Place was very busy Sunday afternoon (one of the only places open on a Sunday afternoon) margaritas were good, and the deep-fried avocados were by far the best I've ever tasted. read more

Good vegan food, superb margaritas, and all delivered to our camp site. What more could you ask for?

Traveling through around late lunch time and trusted reviews, we are glad we did! If my photo showed up, I apologize that it is showing no food I. The plates , but you can clearly see that we cleaned our plates! Very fresh tasting, friendly atmosphere. (The menus could have been wiped clean a bit better) but other than that, we loved it! When you first walk in everything kinda looks quite old in a nostalgic way, and you might even think that it doesn't look clean, but the more we looked around all of the fun novelties that was sitting around were freshly dusted, and even their air-conditioning units were clean, which told us something about the ownership. Clean restrooms to boot! read more

old Mexican restaurant. Everything looked old. walls chipped, menues not so clean. BUT the food was delicious. I had the stuffed avacados. Never heard of them but oh were they good. Drinks were in huge gasses. Prices were way too high for the meals. My stuffed avacados were $17.00. The service was good. Very friendly staff. But it was one of the only restaurants in a dead town. We were glad there was something. read more

This restaurant is right off the highway. It isn't well lit so if it's after dark, trust the map! The barbacoa steak was delicious. We always share a meal. Ty's plate was plenty. The service was very good. We were not rushed even though we came in an hour prior to closing. Others came in after us. They were treated with the same service. It seemed to be a favorite with the locals too. Highly recommend! read more

I've stayed at a nearby RV park a couple of times and have heard about this place so decided to give it a try. They do not disappoint!! Service and food were excellent, not to mention the margaritas!! They don't make your mouth pucker from too much lime mix!! I had the stuffed avocados and it was a first experience. Wow!! So good!! Give 'em a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

I'm lucky like that Another great stop for food Very family friendly and good service for all Food was great burritos are filling but not over done Simple and tasty Definitely a good stop read more

Highly recommend Roosters. The food is amazing and staff are really friendly. If you are in Amarillo, it's worth the 20-30 minute drive to Vega, and if you are passing through town, while traveling east or west in I-40, stop off in Vega, Roosters is worth the stop! read more

Drive a bit further to this small town piece of heaven. My goodness can they cook up a mean plate food. We drove past Amarillo because of traffic and hastily searched for a restaurant. The gods were in our favor when we found this place. Small town comfort food cooked to perfection. I wish we lived closer. I'm from Los Angeles and let me tell you they cook amazing Mexican cuisine! read more

Good food in a depressed town. Would eat here again. Recommend others give this a try

As other raiders commented, the stuffed avocados are amazing. Deep fried with your choice of chicken or beef on top. Outstanding can't say enough about them. The service was wonderful also and the ambience was great. read more

We traveled here from Ft. worth and this is by far the best Fajita's we have had for a very long time! Margaritas are outstanding! Chips and salsa is outstanding and plentiful too! We could not finish this mountain of beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas. We will devour the leftovers for the next 2 days on our way up to Yellowstone! Service was outstanding as Claudia took excellent care of us! Many thanks to her and Anna! Like family! read more

This place is a MUST! While driving towards East coast we found this Mexican restaurant basically located off the beaten path. It was THE best stop by far! Everything about it was unique. The restaurant used to be a gas station many years ago and they still have original floor with stains from where oil was changed. The owners, two brothers Mike and Ron opened it 8 yeas ago and serve only authentic, home style food. We asked to take some portraits of the owner and he chatted with us a little. They were so hospitable and even gifted us a souvenir, a clay made pot with the Route 66 engravings. SERVICE: Kimberly was our server and was super nice. She helped us with food selection and choice that fitted our taste and was very friendly. We also chatted with the owner for a while and he told us a little about the history of this place, which made the whole experience even more unique and unforgettable! FOOD: chips and salsa they brought was so good! Especially since i am not the biggest fan of mexican food, everything we ordered i ate with huge appetite. Portions are good size, not oversized but just enough to be full. The three of us ordered taco salad and fajitas (for one person) and didnt even finish it was so much food! I would absolutely LOVE to go back one day!! read more

A delightful diamond in the rough / hole in the wall place right off route 40. Weary, hangry travelers we were, this place had the remedy. We ordered food to go-- admittedly a messy affair in the car but we have a deadline. We had the jalapeño poppers, barbacoa nachos, and chicken quesadillas. Recommend all of the above ESPECIALLY those dirty little poppers. We waited inside for our food and the interior is cute as fudge. What little service we required was very pleasant, welcoming, and always with a smile. It's December and there was a sweet Christmas tree in the corner to add to the coziness. Don't skip this place! Eschew corporate greed and support local noms. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

Pleasantly surprised to find this authentic Mexican restaurant in little old Vega. We had the chicken tostadas and the enchilada plate. The shredded chicken is so so good! Do yourself a favor and stop by when you are driving on Route 66 - you won't be sorry! read more

The food was excellent. We had the fajita trip for one and was plenty for two,. Great margaritas,very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. read more

My Dad got a burger and homemade fries and I got the chicken green sauce enchiladas. It was a bit of a wait between the main meal and the amazing chips and salsa but well worth it! read more

Staying across the Rd from Roosters and walked over for dinner and was surprised what a little gem this place is. The staff was friendly and it looks like the building was a service station back when Rt 66 was fully open. There is an old time ambiance that makes you comfortable. As for the food, I ordered the stuffed Avocado with ground beef and white queso and was so happy and recommend this highly and the pricing was very fair read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I'd give them 100 stars!! First of all, cozy, with decoration related to the Mexican's revolution. Second... barbacoa!! North Mexico style!! And the tortillas?? HAND MADE CORN TORTILLA!! now tell me where else can you find that? Not in Arizona, not in the Bay Area, I came across that in such a small town. I would recommend this place with no hesitation! Also, finding the type of barbacoa i call barbacoa, is a challenge, since it's just steamed beef in other areas of Mexico, i asked about it because i wasn't sure it was what i think barbacoa is, and I was offered a free sample, I thought I would get a small pinch of meat, but no, i was served a taco :) that was really awesome! And I got a free mug as a reminder of this super authentic place! Customer service was beautiful, I loved everything about it read more

When you have to spit out pieces of meat from a beef chimichanga because it's so tough and grisly and there's literally a pool of oil from the chimichanga in the cheese sauce - not good! It was deep fried so long, the ends had dark brown spots and tasted burnt. I don't know if people come here so hungry from traveling that they think anything is good or if they changed cooks, but it didn't match the reviews I read. Add to that the cooks playing screaming heavy metal for the first ten minutes we were there and a ladies bathroom door that wouldn't lock, I'll skip this place if I ever come through again. read more

We were passing through to Amarillo and read the wonderful reports about this place and decided to stop. We are visiting from Australia and the Mexican food was a treat , but food and service here was wonderful. We couldn't pronounce everything but it didn't matter. The freshness of everything great!! Thank you read more

Great food and wonderful service. We arrived during breakfast hours but we were able to order lunch. Our food was tasty and it arrived quickly. read more

Would've taken a pic but it's in my tummy. Yummy Chile verda burrito and my 2 yr old loved refried beans

This looks like one of "those" places BUT it's really one of "THOSE" OMG I LOVE THIS PLACE! First... I'd like to say that the young lady, Miss Dakota, they have working for them is just a treasure. She deserves a raise!! She put up with our drunk butts more than once That being said, I've been there without drinking and she's just a great server. The food is marvelous too. I've been here 4 times since we've been passing through and I have not had a bad meal yet. We love their salsa so much. I recommend anything on the menu, my hubs likes their grande burritos I always get something different each time and have never read more

While traveling to Albuquerque from St. Louis, Yelp helped me find this gem in Vega, TX. I would never known about it, if not for fellow Yelpers that wrote their reviews. Thanks to everyone I stopped and had a great lunch. The chicken quesadilla hit the spot. Not too much, seeing I still had hours of driving to go. The people were friendly and the lunch was served before I could enjoy too many chips and salsa. I hope to get the chance to stop again. read more

The place has really good food a wide selection of foods. The waitress was friendly and efficient. Nice little atmosphere would definitely recommend this for nice stop on Route 66 read more

Was traveling across the country from Pittsburgh to Phoenix and wanted authentic Tex-Mex and Route 66 diner atmosphere and Roosters exceeded both! Had the special of the day, beef enchilada and ribeye steak with refried beans and rice. Steak was seasoned and prepared perfectly, great flavor. The salsa had a nice taste but could've been a little spicier (personal preference). Chicken quesadilla was vibrant made with obviously fresh quality local ingredients. But my favorite was probably the guacamole. Fresh and citrus forward, complimented every item I had. read more

I never write reviews, but I have to make an exception here. I had the 12oz ribeye. It was the worst steak I've ever had in my 54 years. Full of gristle, over cooked (I ordered medium, it came out extra well done), and over seasoned (very salty). The price of the steak was not reflected in the quality of the steak. They had a single waitress, taking orders, busing tables and checking people out. She was a lovely young lady, but overwhelmed. The owners should take more pride in what they serve. Very disappointed. read more

I usually stop here for dinner when I am in town. Love the chips and salsa, but always go for the steak. Owners are great and the staff is pleasant. Highly recommended. read more
