Vaqueros Cafe & Cantina

Tex-Mex restaurant · East Oak Hill

@infatuation

"Most of the food at Vaqueros is exactly what we want out of a good neighborhood spot—the enchiladas are tasty, and the fajitas are tender—but the tableside queso is worth the trip alone. It all starts with a sizzling pile of peppers, chorizo, and shredded cheese that your server tosses with oil as you watch the whole thing turn into a small mountain of cheesy magma. It’s located near the Barton Creek Square Mall in Westlake, but there’s also a location in Steiner Ranch if you find yourself out a little farther west of town. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
