Arzolas Fajitas + Margaritas

This is by far the best Mexican food I have ever had. While in St. Louis it was the best food we had the entire weekend. After we left we talked about it to everyone! It was a great way to spend our 18th anniversary on the back patio where “the real party is”.

What an amazing spot. In St. Louis for a wedding and found this place in a search. What a gem! The staff, food and margaritas were amazing! If you’re in Benton Park make a reservation or pop in. You won’t be disappointed!!

My husband and I were from out of state for our anniversary. We decided to try this spot for lunch. I will tell you it's a vibe! The frozen prickly pear drink was amazing!

I’ve been here three times now and always order the fajitas. I love the atmosphere and always receive great service. This last time I had Mia maybe Mya as our server, I’m not 100% sure the name is right but she was around 5 ft short brown hair and friendly smile and demeanor. She was very attentive and offered many suggestions and ways to improve our meal. The fajitas are a hit every time and the only really reason I go here. I do not mean for this to be a bad review because I always have a great meal here but I personally prefer to eat at local spots that are cost friendly but I’m sure because of the location they cater to their clientele with higher financial means that don’t mind paying for things like chips and salsa that usually come complimentary at most Latin American restaurants. Even a side of salsa for the fajitas is additional cost. They also do not provide rice and beans with the fajitas I’m not sure about the rest of the dishes. Mexican food is not that expensive to make as I am Mexican and grew up buying and making similar dishes. I will say their fajita meat is lean and very well made and you can tell it is a better quality than their competitors but the rice and beans are still the same cost so maybe they’re making up for the cost of the meat with that additional cost for the sides. The fajitas are about $29 for one person vs $53 for two and honestly I feel that the serving portion for one is significantly less than the average single order at even a nicer location in Texas, which is where I was born and raised. My advice is to order the double if you’re two people as the portion is more suitable than the individual. I shared a double with someone and left full but when I ate a single by myself I left hungry. The same for the margaritas if you only want one and are considering two just go for the pitcher because it’s the better deal. The margaritas are very tasty and you can tell there is tequila but for the price it wasn’t the best I had and I didn’t think the price matched the quality. I will continue to go in the future if I’m invited but I wouldn’t seek this place out as there is more authentic Mexican food with just as good fajitas but I appreciate the service I am given each time and the nice experience. Also they only have one bathroom for all genders to share so make sure you aren’t needing the facilities when you arrive cause I had to wait 10 minutes for the restroom and it was the same person in the whole time so that was very inconvenient while drinking a pitcher.

We were in town for volleyball tournament and wanted Mexican food. I did a Google search for best Mexican food in St Louis and Arzola's was in that list. So our group drove 20 min to eat there. And let me tell you this was some of the freshest, tastiest Mexican food we have had. I definitely recommend this place if you are close by. Clean, nice staff, and good prices.

I visited Arzola's coming from out of town. I did not know a quesadilla could taste so good. I usually don't order quesadillas when I go out. Everything was fantastic. The chips were some of my favorites. Not everywhere has good chips. The queso was great. This is the best Mexican food I have had, and they had wonderful customer service on top of it. Our server was friendly, and when I told her it was the best Mexican food I've had, she told me how much pride they put in what they do. I have my favorites back home, and I'm pretty picky. 10 out of 10 recommend. I recommend the Cabo Sunset Margarita and the Fiesta Quesadilla. The Fiesta Quesadilla is a steak quesadilla, and the steak was tender and so flavorful. Highly recommended by a foodie!!!!!!!!!!

Over priced and cold. Not really sure why it was so cold in the restaurant, but I couldn’t even take my jacket off. Chips and salsa were $6 which I don’t mind, but the salsas were kind of sweet. Then we got the fajita which for $30 didn’t even come with rice and beans not even peppers and onions. The server was great no complaints there at all. Staff were all very kind. My issue came down to how little the portion was and what came with the fajita for $30.

Crazily overpriced! Double the price of other Mexican restaurants in the area. Marinating steak and cooking it on a grill is a simple process, but “labor of love” as it says on the menu. Want beans and rice with your $28 solo fajita plate? Well that’s extra. Chips and salsa when you sit down that’ll be $6. Tortillas are not made in house. Queso dip is Velveeta cheese. The food tastes good, but be prepared to fork over a lot of cash when the bill comes. I got a giant “fajita” burrito for $17. It was filled with mostly rice and beans with five 3” fajita strips.

Kid-friendliness: This is a hip “cool” place. Would not recommend bringing kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are step at the front door.

Hands down the vest steak fajitas in Stl. Service is awesome and the drinks are on point as well. If you're looking for vegetarian, their veggie fajitas are also excellent and include things above and beyond the normal pepper, onion mix. The prickly pear margarita is especially nice. Family owned, everyone welcome.

Vegetarian options: Not a big variety, but very tasty.
