Visited for the first time last night. this is my new favorite place đ What I like the most is that I'm on a diet and there are lots of healthy options.

Lovely establishment. The name may be deceiving as it sounds like a Mexican restaurant but itâs a true American diner gem! The food was delicious and service was prompt and friendly.

The food was amazing!! The chicken fried steak had the best breading and it wasnât overly battered (where itâs mostly batter and zero meat) it was perfect! Not chewy or low quality. The cream gravy was so good! My daughter had the shrimp Alfredo and it was such a tasty, large portion. The kids chicken tenders are huge!
All in all super good, quality food and amazing service for a great price. I promise you wonât be sorry for visiting.

Best restaurant within 100 miles - change my mind.
Went for a late lunch on a Monday. Service by Ethan was top notch. The food came out SO hot & fresh. Each dish we had was truly phenomenal.
This is ORIGINAL Goodson's Cafe level food - and I mean Ma Goodson. Was able to speak to the chef owner afterwards; he has put his heart and soul into this business and it shines through.
Support this family business NOW, you won't regret it... the food is honest, delicious and home-cooked.

We are here for the first time and it was wonderful! The food had great seasoning and was it greasy! The owner came over and talked to us, he takes pride in his recipes and restaurant!

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 worldâs greatest. well Iâm 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

Great food. Only ever seen one server work the whole place. Does a great job . Consistent. Good service good food
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 donât give them honest feedback, they wonât 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 hereâs my food critic advice: Iâd 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 wasnât greasy but definitely had zero flavor. (Iâd 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! :)
