Los Vaqueros Mexican Restaurant

The food and service were wonderful! The only drawback was that they were doing some sort of renovations below the deck where we ate that disturbed the atmosphere a little, but I understand things like this can't necessarily be avoided. I would definitely recommend this as a great place to eat!

Enjoyed a fantastic late lunch here with my family. The decor is classy unlike a lot of Mexican restaurants I’ve been to. Upon entering, the smell was so enticing & yummy. We were seated on the heated patio and could see the beautiful waterfall. I had a classic margarita which is typically not a great marg at most restaurants, but this one was fresh & so good. My taco salad was probably the best I’ve ever had although my daughter didn’t like the spring mix. The pork carnitas with verde sauce were probably also the best I’ve ever had. My son had the carnitas chimichanga & said it was fantastic. Unfortunately my husband didn’t care for his enchilada supreme sauce especially considering how flavorful the rest of the meals were. The salsa though was fantastic, a bit smoky & not too spicy. I would definitely recommend this place & would go back in a heartbeat. We ended with sopapillas which I forgot to snap a picture of. They were a light and tasty end to a fabulous lunch.

Food is great. Atmosphere on the porch is great, open air with a waterfall view. Service was not good. Not sure what the issue was, not a very big place or busy.

Great place to go for awesome food and service. If you sit on the covered patio you have a view of Toxaway Falls from any tables on that side. We had the steak fajitas for two and a Texas margarita. Yummy!

Hidden gem in the mountains! Stopped by after our hike and it hit the spot. Authentic, tasty food and great atmosphere.
