Vaqueros has the best breakfast tacos! I used to live 1 min away, but we moved 10 min away and I still make the drive to get breakfast. The green salsa is spicy and soooo yummy! This will always be my favorite breakfast spot.

Well our order was a tad messed up bc the waitress didn't understand. But it's okay. However the waitress didn't seem too cheery or have barely interaction with us but she did get a good tip. Food was just okay. I was expecting better to be honest. Wouldn't mind checking out other things on the menu to see if those are a better experience.

My family has been coming here for years, sometimes a couple times per week! Always had great service, great food and great prices! Lately that has changed... food quality has gone down... crunchy undercooked rice, wrong orders, longer wait times, etc. They now charge you for a refill of chips and salsa! We had a party of 4 and went through the first chips and salsa quickly and we sat for a ridiculously long time waiting for our waitress to come over so we could ask for more, and when the kitchen staff brought our food out we asked him for more and he got the waitress... thats when we were told there's a charge for more chips and salsa! What?! My rice was crunchy, my order was wrong and we waited forever for service. They also won't seat you unless your whole group is there... even if you want to sit and order appetizers and drinks while you wait for the last of your group. They are losing out on money with that policy. I guess its time to find another favorite Mexican restaurant to go to, which is a shame because nobody has salsa quite like vaqueros. Truly disappointed.

Probably the most authentic mexican food ive had in a while. Real barbacoa, delicious horchata. Such friendly staff and this place is NEVER empty.

My daughter and I love going to Los Vaqueros. They always treat us well and the food is always delicious. Kathya was our waiter recently. She did an amazing job checking in on us despite it being a busy evening! 11/10

Huge shout out to Beatriz, she was amazing on a Saturday night, handling several tables! The food was delicious as well but her service was welcoming.

I recently tried the pastor plate, and it delivered big on both flavor and presentation. That said, you really can’t go wrong with any of their tacos. If you ask, they’ll bring out three different salsas, which is a nice bonus. While some mention the wait, the staff seemed organized and hardworking, and it’s great that they’re fully bilingual—it makes coming here with mixed-language groups easy. The space itself was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and had a welcoming, comfortable vibe.
We have been looking for a good Tex Mex since are fairly new to San Marcos and I had chicken enchiladas and my total overall experience was excellent and my wife loved it also.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile, every time I pass by it when I'm in town. My review is a little mixed - I got two breakfast tacos to go. Service was great. The hostess who took my order was really friendly and my order came out quickly. Breakfast taco #1 was a potato and egg and it was perfect. The tortilla was great and the ingredients were nice, hot, and flavorful. I loved the red salsa - it had a nice kick to it. Breakfast taco #2 was a bit of a let down. It was a bean and cheese taco. The beans and cheese were cold. The cheese wasn't even melted. I would go back, but likely not get bean and cheese again.
