Great experience at Los Arcoiros. The service really stood out, our waiter was excellent, attentive, and funny. The food was good and the drinks were creative. I had the peppermint margarita. If you like peppermint, it's a must-try. The decor is nice. The kids especially loved the creative chairs. A solid spot for both adults and families. read more

Enjoyed a tasty lunch at this very popular restaurant. When you walk in the first thing you see is a wall with all of their awards including quite a few Best Mexican Restaurant and Best Burrito. The decor is fun and colorful and sets the mood for a fiesta. I ordered a drink off the menu board, unfortunately I don't remember the middle word but it was a Smoky ___ Margarita, with Mezcal, it was definitely smoky and definitely large. The chips and salsa both appeared to be house made and were good. I wasn't super hungry so I ordered a beef enchilada and cheese enchilada a la carte. They were good, the sauce was not my favorite but it was ok. They have quite a few desserts on the menu but I had no room left. read more

Absolutely terrible. This was hands down one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. The food was completely bland--no seasoning, no flavor, nothing remotely close to what you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. Everything tasted old, greasy, and thrown together with zero care. The presentation was sloppy, the quality was nasty, and I couldn't even finish my plate. Never in my life have I been to a restaurant this bad. It's honestly shocking how a place can serve food with this little flavor or effort. Save your money and your appetite--do not eat here. read more

This place is big with a variety of dishes on their menu. However, the serving of meat I got on my food item was small IMO. I also asked for flour tortillas and instead got corn tortillas. They do have a kids menu and high chair or booster seat available. Parking is great since the establishment is within a shopping center. read more

THEIR PRICES HAVE GONE UP AND THEY ARENT ON THE MENU. I have been going to los for years now and it is the best in town. I was shocked to learn that the cost of large chips and queso and a mexican coke is 20$!!!!!! That didn't even seem right. You used to be able to get a small chips and cheese and an acp and a drink for around 20$ here. Safe to say make sure to double check the price when you are calling in orders. They didn't give me a price over the phone so i assumed it would be around $10 like their menu say but nope. Very frustrating this place used to be the best but at these prices I can't afford to eat here anymore. read more

Definitely the best mexican restaraunt in Boone. Everything they have is the best quality and is always prepared surprisingly quick. The only downside is how expensive they got. I just got a large chips and queso and a mexican coke and it was $20. I had already placed the order and they didn't tell me the price over the phone so i didn't know. I was surprised to know it costed this much. I don't know how it's that expensive but it's still good food. read more

Ran across this restaurant on Google and decided to call and ask about wait times. They thankfully had no wait time, so we decided to eat Mexican for lunch. Chips and salsa were amazing. Chips were nice and crispy, and the salsa was flavorful. I ordered their 4 taco meal that comes with rice or beans. I opted for both beans and rice. The steak tacos, unfortunately, were not the best. The tortillas felt and tasted like they were microwaved and had been sitting out for a while. The steak was mildly warm, and the tortillas were starting to harden. Meat had no flavor, and just the tortillas being hard did not make it for a great taco. Rice and beans were good, though. I ended up giving up on the tortilla and just adding the steak into the rice and beans. I also ordered the agua de Jamaica, which was delicious. Our waitor was friendly. Overall, everyone else had an "eh" experience with their food also. Nothing spectacular. I'm not sure if I would ever return, but if I happen too, I may just try something else. read more

I mean place was amazing just finished snowboarding and the food just made me reach nirvana!

In town to visit our college student & he brought us to Los Arcoiris. Chips, salsa, and a margarita are always my favorite and Los Arcoiris got all three right!! The person behind the bar definitely knows what he/she is doing. My margarita's on the rocks were so smooth. I always order Patrón in my 'rita. After my first, the waiter suggested a different tequila for the next. Another great drink for sure. The presentation of food was great. My steak was cooked as ordered and very tender. Great flavor and fresh. The Customer Service is fantastic! Overall, a great dining experience. read more

Los Arcoiris - Carne Asada - Mexican Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

It was 6:09, my friend arrived at my house and insisted we ordered Los Arcoiris, I told her it was risky (because of previous experience) but she was determined to get the enchiladas. We ordered 2 orders of cheese enchiladas, beans and rice, an order of chicken ACP and 2 sweet teas. Once it got here i was humping up and down in excitement. "Yeah J!" my friend exlaims. I grab the bags as my non mexican delivery driver calls me fat. I sat the first bag of drinks on the counter and realized my teas were spilled everywhere creating a pool in the bag. Strike one. I open the next bag, ONE order of cheese enchiladas, notice i ordered 2. Strike 2. My sister opens her meal, has her first bite and realizes the chicken is sus (disgusting). Strike 3. This experience was exceptionally underwhelming. Me and my friend only got one enchilada each which happened to be terrible. Overall worst experience ive ever had. My driver shamed me and food was traumatizing. Thanks los...for nothing. I dont know whether to cry or throw up. Bad. read more

This is the worst place I've ever had food. They scam with prices and the food is just mid the margaritas and not good. The food is not priced on the menu and they just make up the price when they check you out. Disgusting as well I saw multiple cockroaches crawling on the floor. Nasty overpriced fake food. read more

Los Arcoiris - "Street tacos" - Mexican Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

If I could do less than one for this restaurant, I would. Absolutely without a doubt the worst Mexican food myself and my daughter have ever had in our lives. We respectfully paid our bill and walked out. There is zero seasoning. The "salsa" was basically tomato sauce. The beef was gray with no seasoning. The redeeming factors are ambience and service. Outside of that do not waste your time or money. We left there went to Publix and got a sub. read more

Honey I really wasn't Mexican for lunch... ok we will find something. Well it is unassuming from the outside tucked into a strip mall. Walking in you are greeted by low key Mexican music. The booths and chairs have character and not in the worn sort of way but colorful and comfortable. He food is delicious served piping hot. Why go to those meh knockoffs that sell themselves as fast food take your bells and corrugated metal asterisks and toss them. This is a place to go for a goor real meal. P. S. Erik was a great serve. read more

Los Arcoiris - chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

Good service. Mediocre food. I ordered a salad. There was a little tiny bit of shredded iceberg lettuce with a hard pink slice of tomato on top of way too much beans, rice, sour cream, and cheese (velveeta?) on a slightly rancid tasting taco shell bowl. read more

Just awful. On 7/1 at 7pm, we sat at a table and were continuously made fun of by the booth full of Los Acroiris staff across from us. Not only were these employees (wearing staff shirts) mocking our table, but they were mocking every other group that they could see from their booth. Absolutely pathetic to see a group of adults be so rude and cruel in such an obvious way. Please do better. read more

Sitting inside the restaurant, this was 10th on the list, why? Anyway it was very good, the staff was very friendly. Except for the young people sitting next to us that wouldn't shut the hell up. It was a nice meal. The food was really good. Actually it was awesome. Which made up for the chick that wouldn't shut up. My wife even felt sorry for the person she was marrying. We got the shrimp dish, it was amazing. The restaurant was very clean. Staff was friendly. read more

Oh my gosh! I just went here to get dinner and we noticed the health rating was 87.5 but we decided to stay anyways. We ordered cheese dip which was good and then my boyfriend and I ordered an acp to share. When we got it everything looked fine but once we split it we realized there was raw chicken completely raw. We waited for our waitress to come back and barely got an apology from her or the manager for being served raw chicken and they proceeded to ask us if we wanted anything else. Needless to say we just asked to leave and they told us to not worry about paying. I won't be returning. read more

This place is great! The food is so good! Decent price! Service is fast! The staff is kind and welcoming.

Usual Mexican faire. Would recommend choosing pork. Beef and chicken usual so-so. Staff is friendly, service quick.

The service was great. The prices seemed really good until we got the food. The servings are large, but the food is mediocre. The beef was _just beef_ -- no seasonings I could discern. The pablano chilli in the chilli releno was tough as leather. I could barely get through it with a knife. The filling was just some sticky cheese. It wasn't just one releno with that problem, either. All four of us got a lunch combo with the chilli, and all of us gave up on eating them. The refried beans were thin as soup. The rice had no flavor at all. There must be many better Mexican restaurants, even in Boone. Go to one of them. read more

This has always been my family's go to Mexican restaurant in Boone. We come back for the amazing friendly staff, great low prices, and consistently awesome food. The boyfriend and I took my grandma to get some of the cheapest lunch specials on town. Lunch specials run daily starting at 11 when they open. We were some of the first customers of the day, and our meals came out perfectly hot and tasty. If you like a good Chile Relleno make sure to ask for their whole poblano peppers, trust me you won't regret it! Ive never had a bad meal here, but today I knocked off one star only because our waitress left a long blonde hair in the margarita my boyfriend ordered. Better luck next time? read more

RAW CHICKEN. NEVER EAT HERE. Was served COMPLETELY RAW CHICKEN. It looks like it just got off the farm. Ordered the ACP to split with my girlfriend, put some in my mouth, as I did, my girlfriend pointed out the chicken was raw, I spit it out, and sure enough, it was still clucking. Absolutely disgusting. The management and staff didn't even apologize for their incompetence! Thank god they didn't make us pay. No wonder their sanitation rating is in the 80's. Please, if you value life, do not eat here! To think that I could have literally died from salmonella because of this place is insane. Worst dining experience of my life. Should be closed down. read more

Went in for a quick lunch. Great service and authentic food. Very reasonable prices. We will return.

I'm editing this review because my husband got violently sick as we left the restaurant . He puked all over the parking lot. He ended up severe food poisoning and was in the hospital for 5 days. He was the only one who ate the shrimp and chicken fajitas. The rest of us ate red meat and veggies. I'll never eat seafood in the mountains again. If not for my husband getting sick , I would give this place 3 stars. This place has amazing service - the owner and his staff are great. The mango margarita was outstanding . Among the best I've had The food was meh. I'm accustomed to Texas Mexican food and the food here caters to the bland palate of its clientele. I prefer the robust , lively flavors of Mexican food. This was okay but not the best. I just wish the folk weren't afraid of spice. The salsas compensated for the blandness . read more

There is a fellow male caucasian who works at the restaurant and needs to have a better attitude. He simply served our food today with the most disgusting look on his face. He is in a work environment, especially a dining-on; scowling at a random person's face because they asked you a question is completely unnecessary and unprofessional. If he is incompetent and cannot control his attitude he needs to be fired. Food is amazing though however. read more

Amazing service!! We were waiting for one more to join us and the server came outside to see if we needed anything to drink and how many were in our party. Were patient focus to move inside. As we were there 45 minutes to close, they did not pressure us to order. My wife gets migraines and they adjusted the lights for us, which was greatly appreciated. Drinks were very reasonably priced and we will definitely be back!! read more

Definitely authentic mexican food! Being from Texas, I have high expectations for mexican food, and this place exceeded those expectations! I looooved that they used Oaxaca cheese in their cheese enchiladas. Took off a star because their margs weren't great. The frozen margaritas were just a little too thick for me and on the rocks had way too much ice in it. Other than that, this place was a hit. read more

Nice restaurant. Guacamole Mexicano was so yummy and fresh. Taquitos excellent and veggie combo was perfect. Beer cold and good house margaritas. And service was friendly and super fast. Ask for Alfredo - he will take good care of you. read more

The service at this restaurant was the worst I've received in years, and the food was sub-par to mediocre at best. I don't think our table actually got assigned to a waiter or waitress as we had 4 visits from 4 people while we were there, and none of them ever came back. At one point a waiter called to us from halfway across the room while cleaning another table to ask if we wanted a margarita refill. We declined, but did ask for water refills. Even then, he didn't come back. After waiting a while for a check, we eventually had to just get up and go to the register to pay. Overall, they were disorganized, inattentive, and even somewhat rude. The guacamole was good, but the tortillas (both corn and flour) were stale bordering on rancid. Food overall was bland, and dramatically inferior to other local restaurants like Taqueria El Paso. We will not be going here again. read more

We eat Mexican food back in florida 2x to 3x a week. We love to cook ourselves also. Love all the different dishes. Eric our server was great, all the mugs were ice cold for our beers the margarita on the rocks was great, guacamole Mexicana was fresh and tasty, all food ordered was authentic and freshly made some of the best Mexican I have eaten. Definitely will be back and recommend to anyone who enjoys the same. read more
