“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”

“My carne asada hot burrito was gigantic and had lots of meat in it.”
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.

“For strip mall Mexican food, Los Arcos is actually pretty solid.”
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.

“Small location with little but good food and good service.”
Small location with little but good food and good service. Guacamole sauce was awesome. We ordered two tacos de chorizo. A torta de milanesa de res and a dinner plate carne asada with three drinks for less then $40. Highly recommend this place although if you have a big group go to the one in Palatine.
