Here for the first time. Big place with lots of windows. Nice servers. Owner came around to say hello to everyone. Chips were crisp. Good queso. Had the Esther dish with cheese enchilada, crispy beef taco and tostada. The wife had the same but brioche beans instead of refried. Good good. Margaritas were okay. Seemed a little watered down. read more

Amazing!! My first time here, the waitress said I should try the enchiladas and that they were amazing and unique. She did not lie!!! Best enchiladas I've ever had, the sauce is very, very, very good!!!! I will be back. read more

Great family restaurant. The story of the family on the menu sharing simple family recipes. Servers are always very nice. I only get take out but, the food is abundant and served quick. I have enjoyed all of the enchiladas cheese beef and chicken. They have a very different enchilada sauce not sure the secret but, has rich chicken flavor possibly bean as a thickener. The beans are refried possibly with lardo which I appreciate. Been here 3 times so far. Which the chips and salsa were included but, the prices are so low I understand and the queso dip is worth the price. read more

Most consistent eating establishment in town! The food is always great and the staff is incredibly well trained.

Simple and delicious. Soft tacos, crispy tacos, tostadas, enchiladas, and nachos. Guacamole was the best! Ordered the Margarita platter, and I was sure glad I did! Was perfect with cheese enchiladas, crispy tacos, refried beans and Mexican rice. All so delicious. La Chiquita margarita was the best I've had! Highly recommend for all the family! read more

The Vasquez 1935 - Margarita platter, cheese enchiladas, crispy tacos, refried beans and Mexican rice. All so delicious. La Chiquita margarita was the best. - Mexican Near Me - Uvalde, Texas

Service and food were both great. Everything was homemade and delicious. Some of the best enchiladas we've had in restaurant. Five stars!

Hands down the best food and service anywhere around. The cheese enchiladas were awesome. And the Russian strawberry lemonade was delicious.. staff was amazing, friendly always smiling.. We will definitely be back . read more

I can't recommend the Vazquez. It feels like white washed Mexican food, options are limited. I ended up getting a burger which, to be fair, was good but who goes to a Mexican restaurant for a burger. The reason I order it was the rest of the menu was limited. Only beef or chicken tacos. Queso tastes like it comes out of a can. Service was also subpar. I would recommend you go any number of other more authentic places in town. read more

The Vasquez 1935 - Son of Q burger - Mexican Near Me - Uvalde, Texas

I had The Jesus special and it was very good. My wife got the nachos. My daughter got the cheese enchiladas & a freshly squeezed lemonade. We all loved what we got. First time here and all agreed that the cheese enchiladas were hard to beat. The restaurant had a comfortable and very clean feel. The service was very good, we look forward to returning. read more

The food was so tasty. It came out hot and looked beautiful. I had the Henry and husband had Enchiladas. Our favorites when we go. Our server was just working her 2nd day and was excellent. She checked on us regularly and kept our drinks filled. Will be back soon read more

We just happened here by chance and so glad we did. The food was so good. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive. Some of the things that stick out to me was that when she brought out tea she also brought us each a cup of ice. This is huge to me because I am an extra ice type of person. The chips were delicious! You could tell they were homemade tortilla chips. The BEST! The food was really good! We will definitely be back! read more

The Vasquez 1935 - a plate of tortilla chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Uvalde, Texas

Beautiful restaurant. This place is very clean and the employees are very attentive. The food was great. We will be back

We they count out the nachos.... Never heard of anything like this $9.15 for 8 nachos Err I don't think that I will ever go back . One thing at Mexican restaurants you can rely on is nachos normally being piled high on the plate. Not this place don't bother going. Although I will say it was nice clean looking restaurant. But that's all it's got going for it read more

My husband and I recently visited this restaurant on our way thru town. The reviews were decent on the food and service, but honestly we were expecting better. It's a "sit wherever you want," kind of place, which would've been nice to know if there had been any signs. While our waitress was quick as was the time for our food to come out, the food brought out was not what we ordered. There were 2 waitresses, and maybe 5 tables occupied. I ordered a taco salad with no tomatoes and my husband ordered the Jesus plate with 2 enchiladas and 2 crispy tacos, he asked for shredded chicken. The taco salad came out in a bowl with like 7 chips surrounding the food, and it had tomatoes. My husband's crispy tacos were beef, not chicken. We didn't bother on asking for the food to be taken back. The waitress came back with our bill for a little over $30.. we had water and an ice tea as well. I feel this was way overpriced and for as slow as it was when we put in our order, I would've thought our orders would've been correct. Horrible first impression, don't think we'll ever go back to this place again. read more

I'm amazed that this restaurant does the volume with such a small menu. Some restaurants you eat at have an extensive 6 or 8 panel menu. These guys keep it "short and sweet". I would recommend EVERTHING on the menu. Ultra-Clean and very friendly staff. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Vasquez and he was a stand up guy. His son and daughter in law continue the legacy. They are now open for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. read more

Quique and Lori have "knocked it out of the park" for me and my guests. I have enjoyed the Vasquez in Uvalde virtually all my life. I am delighted that the Vasquez Family tradition of personal hospitality, great recipes and delicious food served with fresh ingredients, hot and promptly continues in the new generation. The bright, clean, updated interior (with immaculate restrooms) adds to the experience with music for a new twist. Thank you for being here and offering premier food and friendly service at a good price for the value that can now be charged on plastic! The menu is the staple of South Texas cuisine and the New Vasquez is THE place to come for it. Thank you Quique and Lori for maintaining this beloved institution! read more

The restaurant is very clean and looks good inside and out. The food... well... it was ok. I can definitely say I have had much better. Let me start with what I did like. The tostada was actually quite nice. The beans and guacamole were well salted and tasted good and the shell held up till the last bite, (and that's a plus). The beans were pretty good, the rice was heavy handed in the garlic, but not too bad. I got the plain cheese enchiladas and the sauce was very confusing... it tasted like peppered gravy covered in cheese... definitely not something I would order again. The queso, I was not impressed with... it was an odd cheese with salsa, tomatoes and so many onions stuffed into it... another thing I would definitely not get again. The salsa was ok, but it was mostly tomatoes and not a lot of much else. But, chips and salsa do not come with your meal, (that I found very strange for sure). Overall, the meal was about 2 stars, but I'm rounding up to 3 for cleanliness, atmosphere and the lovely waitress and staff. They were very sweet and attentive and the dining room and bathroom were quite clean. read more

The Vasquez 1935 - 2 cheese enchiladas, bean and cheese tostada with guacamole, rice, beans, salsa, queso and chips. - Mexican Near Me - Uvalde, Texas

From the clean lines and light decor to the friendly staff and the wonderful, freshly prepared fare, this gem of a restaurant is worth the drive from San Antonio. At most restaurants, little thought is given to the rice and beans. At New Vasquez, the sides of rice and beans are light and fluffy and fresh and could stand alone. The cheese enchiladas are the best I have ever had. (Sorry, Mom.) The service was attentive but not smothering. Our sever was Bri. She guided us in our selections and was most helpful. A conversation with owner Queque Vasquez (co-owner with his wife) made us feel like honored guests and not customers. Highly recommended. read more

Portion size of the chips and queso is small for the price. Food was excellent however. Will go back. Restaurant is clean.

Meal options are very limited. Definitely not somewhere you want to go if you're wanting authentic Mexican food. Servers are a little hard to wave down but are decently friendly. read more

It's awesome! Awesome food, awesome service, awesome history, awesome family, awesome community involvement!

Food was amazing! Chips were nice and fresh and our queso was made to order along with our food. Norma our waitress was very friendly and polite. We love going to family owned restaurants. read more

Employees and cooks don't wear masks. Not pandemic friendly. Restaurant didn't follow Texas health protocols as stated by the governor on September 17th, 2020: https://open.texas.gov/uploads/files/organization/opentexas/OpenTexas-Checklist-Restaurants.pdf Very concerned for the health of the customers, employees and most importantly their families. In regards to the food, it was average for a Mexican restaurant. Developing menu, but would rather just eat at home. Food was slightly better than service to say the least. read more

We absolutely love the food! It is all made fresh and you can tell the difference. They even make their own chips and their own shells which are so delicious and crispy. My husband says it's the best taco salad he's ever had and I love their tostados; the guacamole one is my favorite. The restaurant is very clean and the staff are all very nice and friendly. Oh!! I almost forgot to mention their hot sauce! It's sooo good! read more

Don't be fools by "Enrique's" recommendation...Enrique is the owner. The food is terrible as is the service. Locals hardly ever eat here which is why it's completely empty all the time. I imagine the only reason they're open is because the owner actually doesn't owe any money on the land or building and has minimal overhead. read more

Uvalde is a small town with limited food/dining options other than fast food. Vasquez is hands down the best restaurant in town! The restaurant was recently renovated and has a bright, well lit interior. The service is excellent and prices are reasonable. This is a family owned business, so all food is fresh and hand prepared. And it's BYOB! Bring your own wine or beer to make for a lovely lunch or dinner. Cant wait to go back for the enchiladas read more

The Vasquez 1935 - Newly updated exterior - Mexican Near Me - Uvalde, Texas

We decided to try Vasquez restaurant because of all the positive reviews, which were very accurate! The place was very clean and staff was very friendly! All of the food was tasty and fresh- you can tell the food is made with simple and pure ingredients, without a lot of additives or grease. Everything tastes homemade and authentic. My enchiladas were delicious, along with the house made chips and salsa. I will definitely come back next time I am in Uvalde! read more

I have lived in Uvalde for 46 years and have never eaten at Vasquez for the reason that the parking lot was always empty. I never witnessed any form of advertisement. Recently there has been advertising over the radio and that peeked my interest. I ordered there self proclaimed enchiladas. I'll give them credit, they are very good. BUT!!!! There rice is bland and dry. There refried beans are also bland, dry and pasty. There presentation is very sad and bland. Last but not least, there prices are outrageous. I'm sorry but this was my first and last visit. read more

Vasquez has to be on your list when in Uvalde! The restaurant has been around for ages and still has the same family recipes just a new generation of owners. The food was delicious...the cheese is UHmazing! The restaurant has been updated and modernized. The staff went above and beyond. You don't wanna miss this! read more

The food is good but not knowing if you are going to get turned away, for whatever reason, is very frustrating. Especially when you realize they are turning people away after only 5 tables in the entire restaurant are filled. Plus, they aren't big fans of children, so don't show up with more than can stay with you at a table for 4. The enchiladas are some of the best around, though. read more

Just had a fabulous lunch at The New Vasquez Restaurant and left with smiles on our faces. The food was so fresh and tasty, the restaurant interior is bright and cheery, and the staff and owners are over the top nice. We'll be back for sure. I have a very restrictive diet and found the sirloin taco salad was not only tasty, but met my restrictions. My husband loved his chicken tacos and the chips and salsa too. Take time to read them menu because it has a great story. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE EVER!!!! Should've listened to the other reviews. We went through town after evacuating from a hurricane and the man in this place has a horrible attitude. He made it clear he didn't want children in there by threatening and disciplining my child who was only sitting in his seat. We hadn't even ordered anything yet. I have never had anyone talk to my family the way he did. If you hate children then have a sign up banning them. I'm surprised any decent person will give this place their business. ZERO stars. read more

Sadly I didn't see see Bert's review until after we ordered our food. It's obvious they cater to their locals. Out-of-Towners are treated 2nd class. Didn't realize I wouldn't get the standard rice & beans with my cheese enchiladas. Food was ok but not worth the trip back. Service was slow, too. read more

Not sure what the locals see in the place nor would I take "Enrique's" recommendation to eat here. For a Sunday church crowd, the owner and one waitress was to serve. The wall of celebrities are more impressive than the overall experience I had here. I ordered the soft chicken tacos, which were more like "taquitos " and had to order a side of beans that were extra. If you're looking for the customary chips and salsa while you're waiting (which was a long wait) you'll have to order that as well. Even for Uvalde standards, there another Mexicans restaurants in town that are better. read more

We were turned away because the waitress swore they were busy. She thought about serving us but I guess we didn't meet the demographic.
