    The food at Los Arcos was absolutely amazing! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the portions were generous. The plates came out hot and perfectly seasoned. Definitely one of my new favorite spots in town!

    From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the southwestern colors and decorations, the smell of generic Mexican/American cuisine, and the gently lilting tones of a middle-aged Latin-x crooner wowing the laid back Friday night crowd with a passable rendition of "Oye Como Va", a Santana classic. Were it not for the fact that Santana is one of my late father's most favorite musical acts didn't have rotating tap.M, I might have enjoyed the raucous bassline that was motivating exactly nobody to dance, as the keyboard playing and vocals were mediocre at best. The mediocrity continued. Let's start with the fact that the restaurant has very large windows and no shades whatsoever. This fact made it necessary for me to switch places with the couple I was dining with, as they were not equipped with either baseball hats or sunglasses (I had to wear both to be comfortable) Now to the menu! I swear, if you have had the somewhat dubious pleasure of dining in nearly any of the mid-range Mexican restaurants in this town, you could probably recite this menu blind. The only thing that might have been a surprise would have been the rotating tap beer that they didn't have. Next came the service: perfunctory, with an accent, and a distinct lack of attention to the very basic detail that the female member of the couple I was dining with only ordered a single shrimp taco and beans and rice a la carte. The server then politely informed her of the option to not consume the other taco. Brilliant, she wished she had thought of that, oh wait, she did when she order a single shrimp taco. The server then proceeded to mistake limes for lemons (ordered to accompany the tea). She did smile graciously at my pronunciation of Sopapillos, so there is that. Guess 5 years of Spanish paid off when she politely informed me that they had none. I mean, I guess it was exactly as expected?

    Ok, Mexican restaurants seem very "much of a muchness" and I've yet to find one I hate, or yet again, one that I absolutely rave about. Having read the reviews prior to coming, I was dubious. But I've rarely had bad Mexican food, so we decided to give it a whirl. The interior is quite nice, we got a very nice corner booth, which is appreciated on date night. Chips and dip were instantly served, and drinks order taken, I ordered a Chile relleno, a tamale, and french fries. He got a cheese enchilada dinner The fries were good and crispy, tamale was good comfort food, and the Chile relleno was also ok, but i found the egg batter, very eggy, and overwhelmed the flavour of the whole relleno, and not the best I've had. If it's any indication, I didn't leave any, so it couldn't have been that bad. The service was outstanding though.

    I needed to fuel up after a long night. So the table next to me and my friend said get their Chicken and Rice Soup. I did and and it was a big portion and very tasty. Hit the spot. Loaded and I mean loaded with chicken! While we were waiting we snacked on a cheesy chicken quesadilla and of course the gratuitous chips and salsa we replenished multiple times - oooh spicy Salsa!

    I have yet to have a bad experience here. Every time I come the food is consistent. It's a nice size restaurant with simple Mexican decor. The booths are pretty big and spacious. There is two sides the the restaurant, but I've only ever been seated on one side. The other side has TVs. I'm assuming it's a party room, but it's really crazy that they're only one one side instead of throughout the restaurant. The service has never been bad based on every visit I've made here. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. They don't even correct your pronunciation here. I have ok Spanish, but my husbands is a disaster. I always laugh, but they never do. Just smile and listen. The food is always fresh. There's only been one time I felt like my food had been sitting and that's when I ordered the children's (which should be listed as an adults because it's huge) cheeseburger plate. I know, a cheeseburger at a Mexican restaurant, but my son had it twice and he was raving about how good it was. And it was good. My fries were cold though. Punishment received. Other than that, it's always hot and tastes fresh. My only gripes about this place are the tv situation and that you only get one refill when you buy a soft drink. Like, what?! All these fresh chips and hot salsa, then your food comes and you're expected to only have two cups of soft drink before paying for another?! That's crazy to me. I'm a rare drinker so I haven't had a drink there, but the tiajuana Taco is amazing!!

    Had lunch here with some friends and ended up with a story we'll be laughing about for a long time…read more There was a bottle of hot sauce on the table called "357 Magnum" (about 1 MILLION Scoville ). We thought it was regular hot sauce... so naturally, I absolutely drenched my burrito in it. Big mistake. HUGE. This is to be asked for by customers lol... and it was left out by mistake... One bite in and it felt like I got maced straight to the soul Tears pouring, coughing, face on fire--we couldn't even eat our food because it was that insanely hot. Honestly, it was next-level pain... but also kind of hilarious once we survived it Here's the part that really matters: the owner handled it like a pro. He apologized sincerely, took full responsibility, and didn't even charge us for the meals. That kind of customer service is rare and says a lot about the people who run this place. Owner is amazing and thoughtful... really great people there Accidents happen--but great businesses make it right, and they absolutely did. Awesome food, great atmosphere, cold beer , and genuinely good people. We'll definitely be back (just... maybe staying away from the 357 Magnum next time ). Thanks again for making it right and giving us a story we won't forget!

I fished out the solid mass with my spoon and called over the waiter. No apology. I think he then brought back the same coffee, new mini moo-cows. Really terrible dining experience. To top it off, there was an empty plastic vodka bottle on the ground by the front door.

    First time trying this place so I went to reviews and looked at some good pics and the Molcajete…read morestood out for sure! This is located not even 2 sec walk away from the Hilton hotel. I usually wouldn't eat Mexican food in Alaska those two don't really go together in my brain being from California but I wanted to give it a try anyway lol I ordered the Cilantro Shrimp Molcajete and some chips and salsa on the side. First I will say I don't see why certain restaurants charge for chips and salsa it should be free in my opinion. The salsa lacked flavor and was more sweet than anything. (I asked for the spiciest salsa they have) and the order was $8.. I get it for the size I was surprised but that salsa wasn't good. Moving on to the main dish tho we have the Molcajete which was really good in my opinion. It came out SIZZLING! and the size of it wasn't what I was expecting. So if you're hungry I would def get one of those entrees ! The flavor of the fajita mix was good and the amount of shrimp you get was super filling. That dish was about $38 with the shrimp. The bartender was nice and asked me if I was doing okay a few times and also made sure my water was filled which was great he seemed really knowledgeable of all the good food recommendations and was pretty quick with service so employees were cool ! All in all I enjoyed my early dinner in a nice place that played good Latin music and I liked that it's walking distance from my hotel. I would eat here again one day and try some of their tacos next because I hear they are pretty good. I would say they need to just make the chips free because the are NOT worth $8 lol like at all but other then that decent place.

While the mole sauce was delicious, the chicken thighs I received were so small and bony, my rice lacked flavor and the beans were very soupy. My chips were like the little broken pieces at the bottom of the bag making it hard to scoop any decent amount of salsa into them. For almost $30/plate I was anticipating more protein, bolder flavors and better quality. I want to give them another chance, but sometimes first impressions are lasting impressions. Service was friendly but waitstaff were busy so not as attentive. Ambiance is what you'd expect from a hole in the wall.

Like they were frozen, thawed and froze again. The sauce they simmered it in wasn't good and I'm convinced helped overcook them to a rubbery consistency. My steak was fine, but was well done vs medium rare like I ordered. I prepared myself that it likely wouldn't be cooked right, but I expected at least a little pink. I know it's not a steak house, but they cook steak for other items so I figured I'd be okay. My partner said his ranchero steak wasn't very good. He only ate it so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable eating while he waited. The meat wasn't very good he said, tasted old. He said the sauce wasn't very good either. For the rise in prices of things quality has gone down. They haven't done much for improvements - my seat had a big gash in it.
