🌮 Night Owls Rejoice! Fort Worth's Tex-Mex Icon Gets Stunning New Stockyards Home (Now open!🎉)

Y'all, big news in the Fort Worth food scene! The legendary Los Vaqueros Restaurant just moved to gorgeous new digs, and it's absolutely worth checking out. The Cisneros family has been serving up some of Fort Worth's most beloved Tex-Mex for decades, and they've now relocated their Stockyards location to the historic Stockyards Exhibits Building in Rodeo Plaza. But here's the real scoop that has me excited – they're now offering late-night eats on weekends! That's right, you can satisfy those midnight enchilada cravings until 12:30am, with the bar staying open until 1am. As someone who's often out enjoying live music in the Stockyards on weekends, this is a game-changer when the post-concert hunger hits!

2513 Rodeo Plaza, Fort Worth

💡 Good to know
The restaurant is only a block from their previous location, so all the signature dishes you love are still there – their sour cream chicken enchiladas are legendary! The new space is more spacious but maintains that authentic Stockyards charm. Don't miss their specialty breakfast items if you're there late night on weekends. Parking in the Stockyards can be tricky on busy nights, so consider using a ride-share service.

AWARDS

🏆 10 top neighborhood restaurants battle in Fort Worth Tastemaker Awards

Fort Worth's food scene keeps getting better, and CultureMap's annual Tastemaker Awards are shining a spotlight on the best neighborhood restaurants in our city. The competition is fierce this year with amazing contenders like Bodega South Main, which serves up incredible sandwiches and sourdough in a historic building that was once home to Sawyer Grocery Store a century ago. Another finalist, Four Sisters - A Taste of Vietnam, reopened in Mansfield after closing their Fort Worth location, bringing their upscale Vietnamese cuisine including that incredible 18-hour simmered beef pho to eager fans. And don't sleep on Gusto's Burger Bar + More, which started as a food truck before settling into a brick-and-mortar spot just off Magnolia where they're slinging amazing smashburgers until midnight daily!

A whopping 3-4 hours! Since being named the best barbecue joint in Texas by Texas Monthly in 2021, fans have been known to arrive before 8am (for an 11am opening) to secure their spot in line at this Fort Worth sensation. The three young founders—Jalen Heard, Lane Milne, and Jonny White—have created such exceptional barbecue that devoted fans consider the wait part of the experience, bringing lawn chairs and making friends while they wait for those perfectly smoked briskets, ribs, and handmade sausages.
