Our first visit to Los Arcos and wow! The service was incredibly gracious and hospitable. Nice atmosphere and fun music. Parking was easy as an added benefit on a Sunday afternoon. In addition to their regular menu, they also had an interesting brunch menu. I asked for a “skinny” Margarita and the bartender created it to perfection. We started with the Asada Fries - so delicious! Some dishes like this are over the top, but this was perfect to share with 4 people. Our entrees included the Jumbo Quesadilla with steak and the Quesabirria with Consommé. Both were served at the right temp, fresh ingredients and so tasty. Can’t wait to visit again and leave room for dessert!

The tacos at Los Arcos were very tasty — full of flavor and really good overall. The only downside was that some pieces of the carne asada were a bit overcooked, which made a few bites a little hard to chew.
What I didn’t like is that, unlike most Mexican restaurants or taco places I’ve been to, they didn’t offer complimentary tortilla chips before the meal. That’s something I’m used to and really missed here.
Other than that, the atmosphere was great — it’s a beautiful restaurant inside, very clean and inviting. I was really happy with how nice the place looked and the overall experience.

Incredible spot. We love coming here and it has become one of our favorites. The vibes are comfy and you want to stay a while. The food is great. We love the birria ramen and super nachos. The tamarind margarita is crazy good.

I got seated at the bar after watching the bartender, a manager, and a server argue over who wasn’t going to take care of me. It took about five minutes just to get a glass of water.
When I tried to order a burrito with mixed meats asking nicely and even offering to pay extra the server made a joke, saying I’d have to buy two burritos instead. I spoke to the manager, but instead of helping, she explained (in a tone like I was five years old) why mixing two meats in a burrito would somehow “break the kitchen.”
To make things worse, the host standing next to her seemed irritated that I wasn’t happy and looked ready to play bouncer instead of host.
Overall, it’s disappointing when a manager doesn’t know how to handle a simple and reasonable request. Poor communication, poor service, and no respect for the customer’s experience.

Los Arcos has some of the best carnitas tacos and beans — flavorful, fresh, and always satisfying. I love this spot, but it’s tough seeing how they’ve been under pressure from ICE, which has even affected their hours. Still, when they’re open, the food and hospitality make it worth coming by.

My wife placed a Grubhub order and I went in to pick it up. It seems that part of the order never went through — probably just a technical issue, which I don’t blame the restaurant for. The real problem was the service. I stood at the counter and asked the woman working there if I could place a takeout order about five times, and she completely ignored me. After being brushed off like that, I just walked out. I honestly can’t say if the food is good or not, because I never got the chance to try it.

We visited this restaurant as a party of three, including a one-year-old, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The service was extremely slow, and when we asked if complimentary chips were included, the server said yes—yet we later found out we were charged for them.
We only ordered two meals, three drinks, and the chips (which we did not know were extra), and the bill came to $150. For the type of service we received, this price felt unreasonably high and unjustified.
Overall, the service was poor, the communication was misleading, and the value simply wasn’t there. Definitely not worth the price.
