I like the caldo de res.
What I don't like is that they charge extra if you pay with credit or debit card.

Overcharged me for 4 tacos. I was charged 16.50 and on the website it’s $3.10 for a taco. Even if the prices are different on web elias the cashier didn’t want to give me a refund. Typical scammers.

This is my favorite local spot right now. I'm absolutely addicted to the tortas. The bread is so soft. The lettuce and tomato are fresh and lubed up with a nice mayonesa. I get the al pastor with it and it has a small layer of beans and the juices from the meat soak into the bottom layer of the bread. Mixed with the creamyness of the mayonesa I'm just in heaven. I was also surprised that their rice is cooked well and has flavor. A lot of places just give you unseasoned rice and veggies but this place just hits and connects everything together. It's well prepared, well cooked and you can tell they put thought into your order. I've gotten some other menu items for family and friends and they all enjoy it. I only order delivery but it's always warm and packaged well. I have this problem where when I really like a place I always forget to take a picture of the food cuz it's just that damn good. I've ordered the torta twice this week and I will def be back for more.

Called and was told they would not give me an itemized receipt. He wasn't even willing to work with it. And the service is shifty. Food is great. Won't be back.

I have been eating here since 1998. The Al Pastor is one of the best in my opinion! A great family owned and operated business!

My carne asada hot burrito was gigantic and had lots of meat in it. Like most Mexican restaurants, the meal came with chips and two salsas. I ordered an horchata too and really liked it.

Food is good don’t get me wrong but they scam you with the prices, u think ur paying a certain price but we had 6 people and the total came out to $216 !? None of us got platters and most of us got a single taco, they say the orange juice is $8 but they charge you $20 in the receipt. Horrible horrible horrible, after we paid and left you can see them in the window making faces and giving us looks. Never agian

For strip mall Mexican food, Los Arcos is actually pretty solid. It’s definitely not fine dining — the cheap booths and no-frills decor make that clear — but it was clean, and the service really stood out. Our waitress was super accommodating, even making me a cheese enchilada that wasn’t specifically listed on the menu.

The mole sauce was surprisingly good — rich, flavorful, and a nice standout from the usual offerings. My only gripe? The rice and beans fell flat. The rice was a bit too dry, and the beans were on the sloppy side.

People that come here and boast about it haven’t been anywhere better and it shows. Food was overpriced and barely had flavor. Taco burrito king has more flavor and more food for a better price. SMH

Great food but way too expensive. Now serving half flautas for the same price😭😭😭 40 dollars for chicken, tortillas, rice and beans is nuts. I can't afford to eat here anymore, unfortunately.

Been eating here for well over 15 years it's still just as great as it always was. Best Mexican food on the block. Don't go to the two other places that are nearby. This is the place to go
