I want to say thank you to Mr Humberto the owner for a unique and dining experience. Also wanted to say thank you to his daughter for being our waitress and being so attentive. This was our first time there and certainly will not be the last. I was very impressed to know that he had worked at another restaurant for 30 years in Tomball and was the head cook. After a lengthy dedication, he and his family elected to open their own restaurant and as a result and more over, he created the Vaquero Grill. The menu as you can see in the picture in American food as we like to say comfort food; home cooking. he makes everything from scratch. The chicken fried steak I ate was so tender that I literally was cutting it with my fork. It supersedes any other chicken fried steak I have had or they claimed to be the world‘s greatest. well I’m here to tell you it does not compare to Vaquero Grills chicken fried steak. The service was impeccable and we certainly look forward to going again. There are so many specials that he has throughout the week so call in advance and find out what they are. if you are a military veteran or a first responder we get discounts every day. go and pay Humberto a visit, I promise you you will not be disappointed. I normally do not give out five stars for my reviews but when you have this many years of dedication to your community and making the best food and most flavorful food there is nothing else to do but give 5 stars. thank you again Humberto for great food and service

Always welcoming and great service! Home cooked meals in less time!
Got the 4-veggie plate for take-out: black eyed peas are the best, also love the baby carrots when they have them (veggie of the day). Good fried okra, green beans, and the fresh hot rolls are enormous. They packaged the veggies in secure leak-proof individual containers, which is great. This place is a little hard to find but worth it when you do.

I thought about not writing this review, as I did not want to affect this local business in a negative manner. But then I thought if I don’t give them honest feedback, they won’t have accurate information to make necessary adjustments. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger with steak fries & my partner ordered the chicken fried steak. The food has potential but here’s my food critic advice: I’d suggest changing the vendor or brand of ground beef to a higher grade all beef patty (the patty I was served had a cookie cutter frozen fake meat look & taste to it) very underwhelming. But the rest of the burger was okay so yes, it has potential. The steak fries were cooked but seemed more cooked on the outside & still sorta raw on the inside. (Maybe allow them to thaw out more before frying). The chicken fried steak was tough and unseasoned. We liked that it wasn’t greasy but definitely had zero flavor. (I’d suggest seasoning either the steak and/or the batter for optimal flavor). I will say, the ranch dressing was really good, had a homemade taste to it, & the rolls were very tasty with good texture. The customer service was very pleasant, they checked up on me frequently, & greeted me with smiles. If I were to return, it would be because of that aspect of my experience. So there you have it, I hope this review is received well as it is with good intentions. I wanna see local businesses thrive! :)

Food was great ! Service was awesome :) will be back.
This is a super quaint little Mom and Pop Diner. Michelle is the only server we ever have. She serves the entire establishment all by herself and she has the most amazing attitude! She's super helpful and super sweet! Always welcoming everyone in with a smile and a friendly hello, how are you?! She is happy to make any recommendations and loves hearing patrons stories and she shares stories, as well. When we mentioned it was our first time (the time it was our first) she made sure we knew how to sign up for the texts for daily specials and a discount on our next visit. The rest of the staff is very kind, as well. ☺️ The food is delicious and plentiful! We've been back 3 times already! Definitely a great little spot we will frequent from now on!

We went through the drive through to try some of their burgers. We have never been here but we're just wanting to try something different. We got the Acapulco and the Royale burgers. We were surprised how amazing these burgers were from what seemed like a Mexican restaurant! The service even at the drive through window was amazing as well! 100% recommend going here!
