Vaqueros Cafe Cantina - Austin

I really enjoy this restaurant. The food is consistently great, and the staff are very friendly. Although it’s a bit on the pricey side, I believe it’s worth it. The portion sizes are generous as well. I will definitely keep coming back!

Austin is famous for its fantastic dining options, and the Sunday brunch buffet at Vaqueros is no exception. If you haven't had the chance to visit, make sure to add it to your must-try list. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, frequently checking in on us and ensuring our drinks were always full. The buffet area was very clean, and with staff serving the food, you don't have to worry about anyone else's hands in it. The selection was outstanding, showcasing dishes that were clearly prepared with care—from traditional breakfast items to Mexican-style dishes, barbecue chicken, and the to-die-for tres leches pancakes! Typically, I gravitate towards Moonshine when I'm in Austin, but Vaqueros has definitely won me over as my new favorite spot for dining in the city!

I have visited this restaurant twice, and both times the service has been excellent! The food at the Sunday Brunch Buffet is very good and fresh. The selection is extensive and full of flavor! I can't speak highly enough about the incredibly courteous staff! (See pictures) I enjoyed the green chili gravy, homemade biscuits, migas, pork with chili roja, handmade tortillas, tres leches pancakes, banana foster French toast, and golden pancakes. Everything was wonderful!

Have been here twice now, and it was even better the second time. The meat is juicy and tender, the tortillas are fresh made, and the salsa and queso are delicious. Also, the service is fast! And the servers are lovely.

A great venue for family dining. Ample indoor seating, plus an outdoor patio area that is adjacent to a playground. Perfect setting to let kids expand energy while parents can chill knowing their little ones are safe. Solid Mexican dishes. A nice cocktail menu. All at reasonable prices.
