“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.”
“I have been eating here for 31 years, let me tell you the food and taste is consistent!!!! Amazing menu options, everything is made fresh to order!!!!”
“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.”
“It was my first time here. This place was recommended by hotel staff. I'm glad they sent me in the right direction because this place was good. My food came out hot and fresh. Even after finishing one half of my 🌯 , the beans and rice the other half was still warm. Only thing that was disappointing was the 🌯 price was 12.99 , menu said you choice of meat. My choice was shrimp. I was up changed to 24.99 as a fajita meal. Margarita, a beer was good of course. No complaints there.”
“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.”
“Best mexican food in the area I get the 3 taco dinner with cheese and avocado and it’s amazing.”
“Went and tried this place for the first time. They have great tasting food I tried the steak tacos Al pastor tacos and the langua. Really great food the rice was top notch. My order was to go and took about ten minutes.”
“Hands down the best Mexican food in Arlington Heights area. I’m originally from Cicero and I was sad when I moved here because none of the Mexican restaurants had the same authentic Mexican taste. This places is the redemption of the Northwest suburbs.”
“My favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The food is always good and delicious. My kids love taco dinner and the big glass of lemonade. The guacamole is amazing. Nice and quiet place for dinner. Highly recommend it.”
