Really wonderful... Lots of options over and above the standard fare... Their Tortas... Toasted bread chicken sandwich with avocado slice... Delicious. read more

Really fast service - too fast actually. Server seemed like in a hurry to answer our questions and just take our order. Didn't really like that but, food was good & really cheap - my plate was only $4 and couldn't even finish it. I ordered the Arcoiris special which is an enchilada with rice and fried beans. Two of the people I was with ordered the Taquitos Mejicanos - they really liked them. 3 stars because of service, and because I've had better Mexican food, but definitely good for the price and better than those Americanized Mexican restaurants. read more

Service was great. Good quality was poor and there was a rock in my taco. I almost cracked my tooth. Apparently it's a trend in the Beans according to the staff. The Rice was cold and it seemed the food was rushed. This is my 4th time coming here and the quality of food has gotten worse. This will be my last time coming here . read more

Omg the best Mexican hands down!! Taquitos were fresh and the guacamole was fresh and so good. The steak ranchero was the most flavorful steak dish from a Mexican restaurant we've had in a long time. The enchiladas were on point as well. Nothing we ordered was wrong or cold. Food was delivered fast and fresh! Can't wait to go back read more

Ordered two different vegetarian options as a pick-up order and was not disappointed! The food was great, the host made sure my order was correct before I left with it, and the chips were still warm! 10/10 would order from here again anytime! read more

Have always seen good reviews so we decided to try take out. I was a little late for pick up and food wasn't ready but was told it would only take a minute. I was impressed with the decor and friendly service. The restaurant was pretty busy for a week night. I ordered chicken burritos and enchiladas but when I got home they were both beef. We enjoyed the food but wished we got what we ordered. It was certainly a good meal and good value. read more

We visit Boone every year for vacation and love going to different dining places. I checked the reviews here and gave it a shot. Fantastic visit! Everything was great, food, service, and atmosphere all 5stars. We will definitely be back for more. Angel was our server and is excellent. read more

This place is just awesome. Big 25 oz draft beer. Burrito el Diablo is the best thing I've had from a Mexican restaurant in this county. Salsa is addicting. read more

Food is always good, take out orders are almost always missing a pet or multiple parts of the meal. Eat in, but I will never order take out from here again. I should have learned the last 3 times. read more

What a great experience. A great waitress, excellent margaritas and the food was spectacular. Definitely visit again

This place was sooooo good. Came here on vacation and was the best place we had eaten since we got here!

Working locally from out of town and got a table for two, was quickly seated and then the very small basket of chips and one bowl of salsa arrived. Asked for another bowl of salsa and only received an empty bowl. Kept waiting for salsa after I asked twice for it and saw several wait staff not doing anything productive but on their cell phones. Ordered the acp with shrimp expecting a healthy serving and have left overs to take back to the hotel. What I actually got looked like a child's portion of the acp.... So just filled up on salsa and chips when I finally got more salsa. Oh.... And the chips were cold too read more

Best food from Mexico within the area! I've been here multiple times and never had a poor meal, ever. Service is always fabulous. read more

Very friendly service. The chicken burrito was delicious. Very affordable. Great for the whole family.

This Mexican restaurant is top tier! I'd recommend it to every one! Bean enchiladas are delicious and the rice is amazing! Great prices

We're from out of town but this is by far the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in a very very very long time. If you want authentic Mexican sit on down... read more

I have to say, the restaurant, the staff, the food... Will impress you. Oh how about the price? Look! This is excellent 'home styled' Mexican, I have been coming over to this place for years right after the slopes! Enjoy a menu with 100 food options!!!! All worth the pick. Pick wisely and ANDALE WEY !!!! read more

Los Arcoiris - Mexican Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

I got a to go order- and let me tell you. When I got to my hotel and opened the bag - everything exceeded my expectations. I got complementary chips and salsa and the food was phenomenal. Everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful. Highly recommend- 5 stars! read more

10/10 restaraunt no questions asked. The service is delightful, and $7 pitchers is the best thing I've seen since sliced bread. Got a ACP for dinner and it was great. Boy do I love that white sauce. Our waitress was mighty cute too. Will eat here again. read more

This joint is phenomenal. If you're looking for quality Tex-Mex food for cheap this is the place. The only reason to complain about Los Arcoiris is if you're some kind of a Moron. If you complain about this joint you need to get a brain. Fools. I sincerely loathe anybody who complains about this joint. This is a 5 star restaurant in Boone. Go here! read more

The food is absolutely flavorless, brown, greasy crap. People occasionally get sick after eating here (just look at some of the other reviews) and the food is just really gross. I would never eat any of the meat here as it's always been really grey and dry and gross whenever I tried it. Stick to the chips and salsa, have a beer and get out of there ASAP if you find yourself stuck here. read more

This was the first Mexican restaurant that we tried when we first visited Boone, and we stuck! Since then, we've only been to one other in the area but it couldn't compare to this place. The service is fast and efficient, which means that they won't always stand around and chat, but every waiter has always been kind and affable to us. We come here at least once a month and have never had a bad experience. Prices are extremely affordable, so our family of four can order what we want and not worry about the bill. And the food... okay the chips could sometimes (but only sometimes) be a little fresher, but we eat them regardless. Overall, the food is amazing! Their Charro beans are fantastic, so be sure to try those. The salsa that comes with the Tacos de Carne Asada is heavenly. (Husband could drink it with a straw.) By the way, their Tacos de Carne Asada is a massive helping for a very fair price. Love this dish! I'm allergic to tomatoes & peppers (go figure) so I order their fajitas with only onions and salt/pepper, and they are super careful to prepare my dish the way I need it. We have a child who loves their Quesadillas, and we ALL love their cheese dip. Yep, we like this place and we're sticking with it. read more

always consistently good. fast service and friendly servers. good prices as well.

This has become our favorite Mexican restaurant in Boone. Guacamole Mexicano is amazing as are the street tacos. The food is fresh and authentic. The service is wonderful, and the atmosphere very pleasant. read more

Food is always fast and fresh. The only Mexican restaurant with outdoor seating. Drink specials are also always great. Lunch specials are excellent. The guacamole Mexican is my favorite! read more

Los Arcoiris - brilliant - Mexican Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

Authentic Mexican food for certain! Large menu makes it difficult to pick just one thing. Guacamole is one of my favorite items and theirs was fresh and flavorful. Service was okay... not outstanding but overall we would definitely recommend Los Arcoiris because the food is really what you want when you are craving Mexican! read more

Eh, it was ok. Extremely fast service! Barely got two chips in my cheese dip before my food arrived! I can't even remember what I ordered now.. nothing memorable here. Hubby liked his combo meal of taco and burrito. I won't go back the next time we visit. The cheese dip was good. read more

Excellent food and even better drink specials! Service was great too. Favorite Mexican restaurant in Boone.

It's a pretty normal Mexican place but the people are really nice, the prices are really low - especially compared to other towns - and the food is generally pretty good. I really like the lunch fajitas for my money. Around $6 and plenty of food. In short, it isn't too special until you factor in the money, but its a really great pick if you do factor that. And I do. read more

Stumbled across this place while traveling through town. Great food (chicken soup and enchiladas). Everything seemed to be made fresh. Great service. If you like spicy food, ask for the hot salsa. Would definitely recommend to others. read more

In the great Boone debate of Los vs. Dos, Los is the clear winner in my book. Although the food is nothing special (your standard, inexpensive Mexican food), the service here is far superior to Dos Amigos on the other side of town. I (and every one else in Boone) always order the ACP. The recent addition of ACP with pineapple to the menu truly delighted my taste buds. Plus, if you get ACP, your food will be ready in under 10 minutes. read more

Absolutely delicious, Food was great. Party of 5 and we are all happy with our choice of food. Kids enjoyed the quesadillas with rice, hubby and MIL had mixed fajitas and I had lunch special No. 3. our server was very nice and tried hard to make us happy. read more

I'm a big fan of Los Arcoiris' ACP. It's cheap and delicious. Dos Amigos (the only other competitive Mexican restaurant in Boone) is several dollars more expensive and not as good. Be willing to wait in the line if you come for dinner Thursday through Sunday. read more

All us Boonies know it's all about Los vs. Dos. Sadly in this, my vote is for Dos. My experience with Los Arcoiris' food (read below for my thoughts on their service) has been sub par. Lots of times food has come out so fast that I've worried about how much of everything is pre-prepared and the temperature makes me wonder how long it has been sitting. The only redeeming quality, in my opinion, is their customer service which has always been outstanding for me. They even let me in five minutes after closing once (years and years ago) when they saw I was pregnant, they asked if I was having a craving and I told them YES but just for chips and dip. They sat me at a table with three baskets of chips and three bowls of dip and a pitcher of water. I sat there and ate away as they cleaned and, of course, left them a HUGE tip! read more

Great food, fast service and friendly staff! We've been eating here for years and we've never had anything short of an excellent experience!

Being going for IDK 10 years, 2x a year on trips to Boone. Never had a bad experience. Maybe had to chase down a check at closing when a big football match was on TV, but other than that the food is good, you get a great value and can order all kinds of stuff a la carte, like that single cheese enchilada for your kid who never eats. Try the El Sinaloense, delicious and usually a enough fro breakfast tacos the next day. read more

I would like to put a disclaimer to say that I nor have my friends/family ever left a review on anything before, but this needed to be said. To begin, the service was alright. Walking in door the place seemed very promising..... boy could we had been more wrong. It was looking up, there was a large crowd, the place looked nice, and the chips and salsa were the norm. But then... the "queso" came along. The watered down substance placed before me couldn't have been anything more than microwaved milk. It tasted even worse than it looked. And then it hit us.... the burritos we had just ordered were smothered in this "queso". We hoped for the best and continued snacking on the chips and salsa. When the food arrived we were amazed by the large portions for such a cheap price. There IS such thing as quality over quantity. The fajitas came... no sizzle. The burritos came.... drenched in "queso". The meat was slimy and gross. It was worse than school cafeteria food that would be found on an overdramatic Nickelodeon show. Probably belonged in the chum bucket. The beans were incomparable to anything before consumed. The canned beans I buy at home taste 100 times fresher and tastier than what we were served. The rice was mushy and bland, probably had freezer burn. The guacamole looked like a bright green paste, similar to baby food. Didn't even eat it. We couldn't even get a bite into the food without having to stop. The look of my burrito (burrito Azteco) made my mother gag. The only thing that was decent was the Corona. Worst Mexican restaurant we have ever experienced, and we are frequent Mexican eaters. read more

Wow. The burritos are roughly the size of a well proportioned humans leg. The Margaritas are very tasty. I highly recommend the spicy anejo Margarita. The service is friendly and fast and the prices can't be beat. read more

my all time fave mexican restaurant... WAY BETTER THAN DOS AMIGOS. i always get the chicken burrito, chicken taco, and chile relleno. mmmmm. its also the cheapest good food in Boone so we ended up going there like 3 times a week. i suggest getting sour cream with your chips for an extra .50 cents. coke is always amazing. read more

This place smells so strongly of disgusting mop water that we couldn't even think about eating here. Absolutely not a place is recommend.
