Brunch? Lunch? Honey, just have your way! I went here for brunch! I ate so good until I didn't get a picture of the actual buffet. Everything was so good. The restaurant is very clean and has good parking. The hostess is nice and welcoming. I love this location because it is so quiet and peaceful outside. The seating is well layed out and not cramped! Every station had some amazing food items. On the carving station, I enjoyed the turkey. Everything I had was very good.. They even have dessert options. If you want a good bang for your buck, I highly recommend.

Brunch was absolutely scrumptious Mother's Day surprise. Bring your appetite because there is not a bad item at this restaurant. Guaranteed to go home feeling like a tick. Beautifully decorated, great seating for large and small groups. Full bar, quick service. I'll be back for date night.

Food is always really really good here! I also LOVE their Sunday brunch! The reason and sad part about it is that I will drive 30 minutes to go eat here and then stand at the front host desk for 5-6 minutes waiting to be acknowledged then when we finally get sat at the table it take another 5-6 minutes before a server even comes to acknowledge us again much less ask for our drinks. It's not the first time this has happened to us. We have walked out a few times over it but keep coming back because we love the food. I don't know if I'll be able to give them another shot... and may I mention the place was dead today. Only one table in the whole place!Like I said, food is very good, never had an issue there at all, place is clean and nice. I wish they could get decent service here.

First time to Vaquero's Cafe & Cantina in Steiner Ranch, celebrating a family birthday during happy hour. Enrique was our man behind the bar, and he did a fantastic job! Thank you Sir! Happy hour is a pretty good deal, $7 house margaritas and 1/2 price appetizers. The margaritas were good. The last one we shared was the Volcanrita, a frozen top-shelf margarita (after HH) add that was the best one of the evening!The food was good too... the complimentary chips came with salsa and creamy jalapeno sauce, both were very good. We added an order of the queso supremo (queso loaded with refried beans guacamole, crema, pico de gallo and cotija cheese, and we added ground beef), and that was good as well. Food, round two, was jalapeno poppers. The poppers were served piping hot (perfect) with chipotle crema. Very tasty!Next up chicken taquitos... stuffed with cheese as well, and served with regular queso, pico and sour cream. We did not care for the regular queso, the queso supremo was better. Overall, the taquitos were a good choice, also served piping hot, and very tasty. We were not as excited about the botana nachos which came out next. First, not really nachos, think tostada, cut into quarters. We added beef. They arrived bit over cooked. The beef was good, and the dish came with the usual suspects, lettuce, pico, guacamole, sliced jalapenos, sour cream. Overall, Vaquero's was good! New place, new building, all nice and shiny. The decor is pretty cool! Service rocked, food was decent. A solid 4-star performance. We'll likely go back and try some non-happy hour fare. We watched a lot of that coming out of the kitchen, it looked very good, and smelled even better! Recommend Vaquero's... Sorry not more pictures, folks coming and going for almost three hours, forgot about the pics! LOL

Vaquero's-- YOUR next brunch stop! This place is a MUST! The FOOD is delicious with a variety of choices! My personal favorites included the Steiner pancakes with strawberry syrup, (pictured are the tres leches pancakes- also a win) stuffed french toast which has a cheesecake type filling, and the bacon was cooked to perfection! The perfect crisp, without being too chewy, and the eggs were great too! If you're looking for something other than breakfast and want to combine it with somelunch offerings-- the chicken piccata was a WIN! Unfortunately, i indulged a little too soon and enjoyed my time with family eating here that pictures were an after thought but holy moly-- yes yes yes!!

Our new favorite spot. Nice, new, clean building. We have yet had to wait to get seated, always met promptly and seated. Nice view and great outdoor area when the weather is good. The fireplace outside is a nice touch for the view as well. They do have tables for large parties and they also have booths. It's quite large inside with a ton of seating. The bar is really nice too, lots of seating, TVs, and i love the chair styles. Several fun frozen drink options. Service has been spectacular so far. We have had the pleasure of having the same waitress multiple times and she has been fun and friendly. The food: come hungry. Portions are large! You get your monies worth for sure. The brunch is even better of a deal. And you can add on unlimited drinks too. The brunch i think is my favorite. You have sweet, desserts, breakfast staples, Mexican style breakfast, salty, lunch items, etc, the options wrap around the whole room. The chips and salsa are great, a bit spicy but i don't handle heat well lol. The taco plate has been my favorite so far for lunch and dinner. It's all!

Saw ads for this place on TV and had to try it based on the view we THOUGHT it had. While it did have a view, it was limited, and only visible from a small portion of the dining area, and the outdoor patio. We were a little disappointed. However, the facility did appear to be relatively new, and modern. It was very clean.We went for lunch and it was only moderately busy. We had the lunch combination plate, and it was good. Also had a couple of margaritas and they were also good. Service was OK, but they did appear to struggle a little in that area. The Manager was front and center, assisting the best they could. Unfortunately, as usual, the managers can manage, but can't serve all that well. All in all, we were OK with the service we received. However, I would be concerned about the service on a busy night if they were struggling with the lunch crowd.

Nice patio view! Food is good but we thought the HH was until 6:30 and it ends at 6pm. The soup was a bit too salty for me and I live salt. The waitress didn't seem to be clear on what was included in HH, the prices, or when it ended so we missed getting second drink under HH when we went. Plus, they had limited HH drink options and you have to sit at the bar to get discounts on apps. Not sure if I'd go there again for HH but maybe they are better for lunch or dinner.

Food was good. Table service was excellent. A little confusing at front reception area in beginning but not too bad.
