FORT WORTH, Texas — A popular longtime Mexican restaurant in the Fort Worth Stockyards recently got a visit from some music legends.
Singer-songwriters Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani stopped by Los Vaqueros and posed for photos with staff during their visit.
“This is why Los Vaqueros in the Stockyards is the place to be!! Thank you to Blake Shelton/Gwen Stefani and their family for showing your support in the Stockyards and at Los Vaqueros!!” the restaurant shared in a post on social media. “They had a great time & we are SOOO grateful for all their support & generosity of spirit in supporting all of our fellow Texans & the relief efforts in Central Texas right now!”
It’s unclear why Shelton and Stefani were in Cowtown, but Los Vaqueros President Vicki Cisneros says she believes the couple were likely “in the area with their family, came into Los Vaqueros and enjoyed a wonderful meal.”
“They were both so very gracious, down to earth and extremely willing to engage with our staff and team members,” Cisneros said. “Gwen was so sweet to take photos with the young servers and they had a great time! We were honored to serve them and it was quite refreshing to have someone of their social status in music come in and be so nice to our staff!”
Their visit to the hotspot in the Fort Worth Stockyards was first reported by our content partners at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Los Vaqueros has been in business in the Fort Worth Stockyards for more than 40 years. It operated in its former location at 2629 N. Main Street for 30 years before moving to a new location down the street at 2513 Rodeo Plaza, where it reopened late last year.
