I was a bit skeptical for 2 reasons. 1) the fish was deep fried - not how I've had them in San Diego and 2) they didn't seem to offer any pickled accompaniments - no jalapeños or limes. The waiter said to just use their homemade green sauce instead. I did - as well as some other sauces on the counter (mayonnaise and chili). This was a great opportunity to go outside the comfort zone of the familiar and try something new. The fish was super fresh - the flavor and moisture were highlighted by the crunch of the thin outer layer of flour. So, they didn't feel or taste bready the way some batter fried fish can. It's a super casual and friendly place and you can have a beer or soda with your meal. Wonderful tasty fresh dinner with bev for about 65$. Go! They also serve seafood burgers - which look more like what we gringos call croquettes. Don't be scared - go for it. Yum!

This is my favorite place for seafood in SLP. All of it is always fresh and very delicious…read more Normally I have 'lomo de huachinango' (red snapper) with garlic (ajillo)...it's my favorite! I combine it with a shrimp cocktail and a raw fish 'tostada'. If you are in the mood for something fresh, try the 'michelada', which is a beer with spice sauces and ice...good for a warm day! And also they have a quick and great service!

If you are in the mood for gourmet style seafood and feel like paying for a good delicious meal,…read morethis is one of your choices. Service is awesome, food is great, options are many, and prices are fair. I was here with a group of friends and it was a great experience from start to finish. Take into account that I was here on a Tuesday night, so this place was not very busy. However we requested options to our waiter and he offered the ones already advertised in the table (not a good sign). So we decided to follow our foodie instinct. The choices we had (see pictures for reference) were awesome. The dishes that I liked the most? - Camarones Caballito - breaded shrimp stuffed with Philadelphia cheese and mango sauce. - Camarones Primavera - fresh - Volcán de Cajeta - simply perfect and tasty. If you are a sweet, dessert type of person, don't think twice. This is like a thin bread type of crust filled with caramel, with vanilla ice cream and berries - simply delicious! We finished with liquor drinks and they were good. Can't complain. Fully recommended! By the way... they have valet parking in case you don't want to find a parking spot around. There is plenty of parking area, but just in case don't feel like walking.

One thing is for sure, service at Los Arcos was the best I've ever experienced anywhere. This is…read moreall the more remarkable because we had a party of ten. I was impressed by how the servers were able to perfectly time the arrival to the table of the multitude of dishes we ordered. Oh, my AGU family is adamant that you tip no more than 10% in restaurants in Mexico, regardless of quality of the service. More than 10% is considered a faux pas, I guess. My family avers that, though Los Arcos is a chain, they serve the best seafood in Mexico. Los Arcos has dozens of seafood options. You will find some dishes that contain ingredients, say for example "Aurora" sauce, that are specific to Los Arcos, so you will need to ask your server what they are. The restaurant serves complimentary tostadas (in a bottomless basket) that you can eat with a red salsa or tasty sliced grilled onion. Curiously, the grilled onion comes with a white chile pepper that I didn't see anybody at the table eat. My favorite dish of the night was a delicate little taco made with a jicama tortilla. On the jicama taco were breaded shrimp, chili pepper, onion, tomato and a delicious seasoned crema sauce. I was craving something simple for my entree (the Scandanavian in me popping up again) so I opted for the crema de langostino (lobster soup). The creamy lobster soup came in a bread bowl (regular bread, not sourdough). The soup, containing chunks of lobster and bits of celery and onion was fabulous! The only off-note was that the bread was overbaked, making it a little tough and also burnt-tasting. Beverage selection was vast with drinks such as agua de coco (coconut water) and jamaica juice. The dessert menu only showed five items, but there are more; at the end of the meal they brought out a dessert tray with more stuff. But you know me, when I saw creme brûlée, I had to order that. Topped with two strawberry halves and perfectly caramelized, it was silky smooth and delicious! I highly recommend Los Arcos, it's just right for an after-Sunday mass family get-together: the restaurant can seat large groups comfortably. 12/28/14 update - we snuck back over here and service and food were incredible once again (even though we came 1/2 hour before closing). My current favorite restaurant anywhere!

Everything here is FRESHLY MADE (they buy everything the DAY of). La Vela didn't disappoint. Reasonably priced, great services, and lively atmosphere (their music taste is stupendous).

If I had one word to describe this place it would be fresh. I was a bit skeptical about this place…read morebecause Leon Guanajuato isn't anywhere near the ocean and I'm generally against buying seafood in places that are land locked; however I couldn't be more wrong about this place because their food was not only delicious but fresh. My first time eating Marlin (Marlyn Vinagreta) and I couldn't believe how delicious it was. It's a combination of sweet and flavorful and resembles the type of fish you'd expect to find in a good sushi restaurant. I also had what they call Shrimp a la Korea (Korean style shrimp) and although it didn't taste anything like Korean food, the shrimp were large and the juice/marinade they're served with are finger licking good. They have a habanero vinaigrette/sauce they place on the table and my mouth still waters at the thought of adding this stuff to each tostada I piled high with fish. If you can stand habanero, I highly recommend it. Pro tip: a tostada isn't a tostada here. If you think you're ordering a single tostada you're mistaken; you're basically ordering enough fish to feed one person and they'll serve that to you in a plate or bowl. The portions are pretty good so don't make the mistake of ordering several things thinking you're just ordering 2-3 tostadas worth of food. I know this review is a bit scattered but I forgot to mention I'm not really a fan of seafood. I went here fully prepared to have crackers and accompany my family while they ate...that's not at all what happened.
