    Classic "hole in the wall" type establishment serving authentic Tex-Mex cuisine. The carne guisada is some of the best I have eaten and the homemade flour tortillas remind me of Mama Rebecca's from my childhood.

    If I wasn't so lazy and wanted to drive an hour each way, I'd get the Barbacoa tacos once a week. The owner and their family were great to our group of 17! Got us in after previous plans fell through, let us order whatever we wanted and got us out within an hour. Highly recommend

    This family run restaurant serves delicious Mexican and American dishes made from scratch. The cook staff and servers are all family and make you feel like you are family too! Tamales are huge and can be preordered for holidays as well. They even made sure they were gluten free for my nieces.

    Homemade, delicious food, good customer service, clean and well-lit with soft music, and friendly service! I love supporting family-owned businesses, and this is our favorite. The owners of Vaqueros are pillars in the Hondo community and certainly loved by many for good reason; for they give their all for the people of the community and for those just passing through. Check them out for yourself!

    Fries are not crispy. I asked for extra crispy and since heated with cheese and meat it made them soggy. Also no lettuce or grilled onions given as requested. However the beef fajita was delicious, the queso dip and seasoned chips were amazing.
