Los Vaqueros — Restaurant in Willow Park

We, an extended family of seven, and wea ate at the Willow Park location yesterday. Everything from our excellent server, who was the absolute best, to the atmosphere, to the selection, to our food, was all....5 Star! We absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. We agree, it's the absolute best Mexican food we've had since we moved to Texas one year ago. We love Mexican food and have tried just about everywhere around. We'd go back today, our experience was that great. Every dish was cooked just right, seasoned perfectly, the portion sizes were generous, and our waitress, she was something special. Not only was she a great server, but she was the type of lady I'd have loved to have her sit and eat our meal with us. She was fast, funny, personable, and ever accomodating. We'd all highly recommend this fantastic restaurant. And, as there's one in our party who uses a walker, the walkways between the tables were more than wide enough for her to walk down the aisles and in between the tables. This facility offers anything a person, couple, family or group could want. From the offering of catering, having a banquet room, family indoor dining, outdoor dining, to a quiet romantic dinner for two, this restaurant offers something for everyone. Some of our meals ordered were: The Quesadilla meal with ground beef. He loved it. Another was the crispy beef taco plate with an a la carte chalupa. Fantastic was his comment. Another was the Chimichanga with fajita meat meal. She loved that too. I had the Chimichanga with ground beef, which I found to be yuuummy! These chimi's are deep fried and come with rice and charro beans, lettuce, sour cream and pico de gallo. Thank goodness it's not smothered in cheese. You can substitute and get double rice or beans if you prefer. It was all so delicious! We brought the last half of the last two meals home for lunch today. We couldn't eat all of our meals yesterday as they're very generous in size. But, they were still great today! You will appreciate this restaurant's service, atmosphere and especially it's food. It...

We visited the restaurant on a bustling Friday night, part of a rather large birthday party.

Our main waitress, Becky (if I recall correctly), did a fantastic job. She expertly managed the room with the skill of a seasoned pro.

My wife ordered a spicy ranch water, while I stuck with my usual, unsweet tea.

Some birthday guests noted a peculiar taste in the water. My cousin's husband, Monty, even joked about looking for minnows in his glass. I didn't find the water or tea unpleasant, perhaps they just have more refined palates.

The sectioned-off room was splendid, though I was mildly annoyed by a crooked picture hanging too high to fix myself.

Both my wife and I ordered the carne asada. I always enjoy a well-charred steak covered in grilled onions.The salsa and chips were good, though I would have preferred a bit more spice.

My wife's spicy ranch water looked appealing, though she mentioned it could use more kick, both in heat and alcohol content. She ordered another, so it couldn't have been too bad.

When the entree arrived, it was a bit underwhelming visually for a $24 dish. The charro beans were tasty, though a tad salty. There was a single onion slice atop the steak. The steak itself was about a quarter-inch thick, overcooked, and lacked any charred edges. It almost looked sous vide, with a uniform grayish color throughout.

The sliced avocados and tomatoes added a nice touch, and the rice was well-cooked with good flavor.

Overall, while the entree was disappointing, the excellent service and overall experience somewhat...

Pics looked great so thought we would give it a shot..menus on tables like a placemat in very ratty tattered plastic. Prices for Mexican food of where a menu should have been in a leather bound book. Nothing below $16 and on a chaulkboard they advertised fajitas from $40-48 for 2-3 people the 3 of us decided to go that route. VERY DISAPPOINTED! 2 platters of a serving spoonful of refried beans spread out flat on a platter(from a can most likely)with a serving spoonful of rice a tblspoon of pico(so little I think that's what it was) then a melon ball scoop of guacamole the size of my thumb. No lettuce, no sour cream and no shredded cheese!!!! Salsa was so hot you could barely eat it! Oh and queso was like water, must of been pkg kind you add milk to no flavor no tomatoes!!!!! Oh drinks "1/2price happy hour" if you get a margarita with a flavor ie: melon or strawberry not included they add that fee o to your check for the extra... better Mexican food seriously...
