    Chicken rings
    Mary M.

    I really liked my meal here. I gobbled it down without breathing. The quesabirria would be better with consomé. That's just a universal truth. The chicken rings tacos however? Those were juicy and delicious in their own right. I was initially offput but how small the guacamole seemed, but there was a good bit in there!! Tamarind marg was the best. I also had a cucumber and would get tamarind again. Strong drinks!

    Small chips and salsa. $3 - A wooden bowl containing tortilla chips is placed on a restaurant table with various condiments and utensils.

    So disappointed in my local taco place jacking up their prices and charging for chips and salsa. Such a scam.

    Steak burrito bowl - A Mexican dish featuring shredded lettuce, guacamole, corn, grilled meat, and fried tortilla chips, served with a small cup of green sauce.
    Hailey R.

    Los Arcos was so delicious!! I ordered the burrito bowl and enjoyed it. There was also a live mariachi band and a wonderful ambiance. The green salsa is amazing!

    Steak taco salad.
    Precious B.

    I ordered the quesabirria taco dinner, one taco salad, one chorizo burrito and three horchatas. It came super fast and was packed very neatly! The food is delicious!

    Green Pozole, my FAVORITE thing! - A bowl of green pozole soup with radish slices, avocado, shredded meat, and herbs, served in a white bowl.

    Okay, I can't stop talking about this place. Feeling lazy on a Saturday, we ordered AGAIN from here. Always delivered FAST and HOT! Pozole Verde: I just went ahead and got two orders, I love this stuff THAT MUCH. Two days later, I'm still noshing on it 'cos one order is really enough for two meals for one. Delicious, rich, mellow broth with juicy chunks of meat and hominy that "pops" when you chew it. The garnish they send with an order of this soup (cut up lettuce, radishes, onions, peppers and jalapenos, all seasoned) is enough for a bonus small salad, even after you get done garnishing your delicious soup! Tacos: Steak tacos with avocado sauce, onions and cilantro. DELICIOUS. Perfect size, savory and . . . I love them. Chimichanga with spicy pork: My BF had this, and I didn't hear a WORD while he was devouring, it was really tasty. And GIANT. I maintain that it's enough for two meals, later while he was lying on the sofa burping, the BF concurred. Silky beans and a nice blob of rice included. The spicy pork was really tasty, I had a bite, and it was perfectly seasoned. Chips: a really generous order of chips is included, and they are still crispy and delicious two days later! We always order way too much food from this place, but it's still good even a couple of days later, so don't be afraid to load up!

    Quesabirria y Consomm - A plate featuring three tacos with grilled meat and vegetables, accompanied by shredded lettuce, radish slices, lime, and a bowl of dark sauce. In the background, a plate of rice with meat and beans is visible.

Despite their well-earned fame, this spot keeps the humble, hole-in-the-wall energy intact, small, unpretentious, and staffed by some genuinely warm and welcoming people. Pop in, grab a seat, and let them do the rest. My fiancé and I shared the quesabirria combo, two quesabirrias with consomé, a Mexican Coke, and a Jamaica, and honestly, everything was amazing. The Jamaica alone deserves its own shoutout: perfectly balanced, not too bitter, not too sweet, and exactly what you need to cut through the heat of the food. The tacos came out piping hot, prepped right in front of us, loaded with cheese and packed with flavor. The consomé was warming, rich, and perfectly spiced, the kind of broth that makes you want to tip the bowl. And the accompaniments (onion, cilantro, peppers, lime, and salsa) give you full control to doctor things up to your liking. For spice lovers, this setup is a dream. My one gripe, and the sole reason I'm docking a star, is the price. At around $30 for two tacos, a consomé, and drinks, it's a tough pill to swallow. As a Mexican American, there's something about that price point that pulls me slightly out of the authentic experience I was hoping for. I fully respect the craft and passion behind this food, but it's worth noting. That said? Don't let it stop you. This food is incredible, and I'll absolutely be back.

Really awesome space at a crowded downtown location. Foods were served on nice metal holders or disposable/environmentally friendly containers and utensils. The tacos were huge, and I love that they focus on the variety of vegetables on the taco, which is often overlooked at other places. Veggies also make the taco look beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the tikka paneer, the paneer was soft for paneer but firmer than tofu, a really great texture. And the flavor wasn't overpowering. The tikka sauce was light, which I am totally fine with. The chicken quesadilla was also made well and of good value, the kids all really liked it. The salmon was good too but didn't really stand out as much, but appreciate the variety veggies on top! The mexi-Cali shrimp bowl was not bad either, but also didn't stand out much. The shrimp was good but I prefer it cooked even lighter if possible. Flavor was good tho. The rice was long grain, which I prefer, but they do give quite a lot, I ended up having quite a lot leftover. I wish the had a bit more cilantro or other herby mix to increase the depth of flavor, but overall still pretty good. Queso was also really good, thick and creamy, not too salty, but sadly the kids didn't like it as much. Husband also liked the gochujang pork a lot, said it was actually really really good. Overall, we really enjoyed everything we had there. Love that they also had paper towels everywhere. My preferred method of keeping clean haha. Will definitely come back.

In a way it felt like a makeshift restaurant with an urban warehouse vibe, big colorful signage on the walls, folding chairs and card tables make up the interior. It was very busy, almost every seat taken and the staff was running around taking orders with a smile delivering food and seemed to be having fun too. This is the kind of ENERGY I love!! There is a separate bar for drinks. The juices are freshly made in house, the horchata was highly recommended and apparently always sells out. I might have gotten the last glass of the night, the guy who ordered right after me couldn't get it. My quesoburrias and chicken quesadilla were very filling, and honestly I didn't need to order three, I left overstuffed haha... the waiter says I should try the shrimp tacos and cod next time.

You've been up since 6 am sweating and lifting heavy boxes. You just paid your movers an excessive amount of money and got yelled at by a neighbor for blocking the alleyway. It's 1 pm and you're HUNGRY and want a DRINK. This was our experience walking into Taqueria Primo Chukis. We ordered some very well-priced margaritas, my husband got tacos and I got a chicken burrito. YUMMMM. Great portions (my burrito was huge), simple yet flavorful recipes, and great service. The house salsas were great as well and actually quite spicy. After inhaling our food in record time and declaring this our favorite restaurant of our new neighborhood, only one question remained - was it actually that good, or were we just starving from our move? Don't worry, we put that to the test! We came back with a group on a perfectly normal day and had a spread of enchiladas, tacos, burritos, and flan. Somehow, I think it was even better the second time!! My husband now suggests this spot for any and every meal. You will not be disappointed if you are looking for simple yet delicious mexican food.
