Overall the tacos were delicious. Steak and carnitas. The only thing was that the shells were incredibly greasy & salty. Super affordable place for good Mexican food. Classic Mexican restaurant. read more

Me and my fiancée went to eat here on Easter Sunday. We ordered our food and the server got our order wrong and had an attitude with us the entire time. She asked if we needed to-go boxes before we even touched our food. And brought the check literally 5 minutes later. We asked the manager for to-go boxes after this happened and explained the problem and nothing was said or done about it. She was very rude and disrespectful. Not a great place to eat. read more

Overall, a good experience. Enjoyed the chips and salsa and ordered chorizo nachos special which were very good with the white melted cheese. Med marg with a little modela was a nice surprise since I ordered a house Marg. Just moved to the area and on a journey to try different Mexican restaurants around me. So far, this ranks near the top of my list. read more

The food was fantastic, only surpassed by the service and the frozen margaritas! Wish this place was local!

This place is not going to be going out of business soon. It was packed solid on a Friday night. Large and small groups. Party was seated with no problem. Chips came out nice and crisp. Waitress took order, and food was served in a decent amount of time. We were hungry. That is where the nice ends and the bad begins. My order was way off, Family member was given a strawberry margarita instead of a house regular margarita. Plain baked potato was cover in cheese and chicken. Not returning. How hard is it to mess up on 3 people's order. Waitress empty apology was not heartfelt. Cross off the list. read more

The food was outstanding! Will be back many times! Give it a try! Could not finish my meal, even though I tried. Large portions, great price, great food! Yum! read more

Great food at a good price. My mother in law has a gluten allergy (pretty severe), and they're very good about changing gloves and accommodating our needs. read more

Everything was so good the fajita and burrito, even my kids enjoyed the food, thank you for the nice service

We were looking for a place to eat while traveling through Fort Payne. We saw the fire department eating at this local Mexican restaurant and decided to give it a try. We really enjoyed the food! Fresh and good portions! The bean dip was large for the same price that we pay for a small bowl back home. Excellent service, my glass stayed full. We were really glad we stopped. No complaints! read more

Went there Friday night and I was charged double for my bill and have been calling 3 days and no one will help or assist me. Keep saying there is no one in there to assist me. Food is always great but this if passing me off read more

Wonderful Mexican food. Had the chicken fajitas and they were so nicely done. The chicken had a lovely spice blend that went so nicely with the onion and peppers. My husband had nachos and agreed that the spices used on the meats were just perfect. To top it off, their margarita was one of the best ones I've had in a long time. The service was top notch and the chips were warm. We're just passing through, but I would highly recommend if you're in the area!!! read more

I read the reviews and I had high hopes of finding some good Mexican food. Ugh. Mediocrity at work again. My first look at the menu and I really should have just left. There are various forms of fajitas and some kind of chicken plate with rice and white cheese sauce with varied descriptions. The menu is pretty big, 4-pages long. There are also several different burritos offered. My first red flag was that I didn't see hardly any tacos on the menu. Next red flag was the tacos they did offer, either in a combo form or ala carte, had the option of ground beef,... ugh. Next came a big basket of chips (positive) and a big bowl of what I guess they describe as salsa. To me it was more like a bowl of ketchup and taco sauce mixed together. More ugh. So what did I do? I ordered the quick lunch of a taco and enchilada. Not wanting ground beef in either of those, I requested a cheese enchilada and a shredded chicken taco. I asked my server, who was very sweet, if they were hard shell tacos and if so, were they the pre-made, store bought shells. She told me no, that they make them fresh. Ok, I thought, this might be looking up. I like a fresh fried hard taco shell. Out comes my lunch with a small enchilada and rice and beans and then a separate plate of a taco, with - oh my - surely not one of those pre-made store bought shells. Alas, it was true. And the saddest taco. A tablespoon of chicken, a dribble of cheese and some lettuce. Not even a tomato. Ugh ugh. The enchilada was decent. The rice looked like it had been sitting around awhile but was edible. The beans. Oh the sad, watery, salty beans canned beans. I've said before that I base my standards of a Mexican restaurant by their salsa and their refried beans. In this case, they both failed miserably. The food was not inedible, well, except the beans, but that's not what I really am looking for in a place to dine. Just not the place for me. I will say the place was very clean and the staff very friendly and welcoming. read more

Clean with a nice staff. Food isn't great in my opinion. Cheese sauce was thin. Mexican food but maybe too American. I expect more flavor. Salsa lacks flavor like cilantro. Not a bad experience, just not my cup of tea. read more

I am from Texas, San Antonio to be exact. Here for a week. I had the chimichangas with shredded beef. Edible at best. What was not edible were the over salted beans. No fooling, could not take more than a bite. Someone from out group ordered quesadillas with ground beef. Hardly any cheese. It was a quesadilla after all. The worst part, meat was soggy, tasteless and disgusting. Would not take my worst enemy to that place. I know good food. Avoid it at all cost read more

Service was good. The meal looked awesome, but had no flavor. I got the vegetable burrito and my wife got the vegetable fajitas. Hers was the same, very bland. We have had these same meals at other restaurants but this was disappointing. I hate to give a bad review because the food looked good, but it just wasn't flavorful. read more

We absolutely love Mexican food but we had the WORST experience here tonight! My husband, myself and 5 kids went to eat there tonight and they took our order for drinks (got mine wrong) the ice looked moldy. Then they took our food order even repeated it back to make sure it was correct, brought all food out except one child's food. Tried to locate someone and nobody was to be found, a lady was just coming into work and we got her to check on said child's food (30 minutes at this point) she came back and told us it was forgotten and she was sorry. Everyone finished eating and then they brought out child's food (he ate off of our plates) we told them we no longer needed it seeing as it was coming out after everyone had already eaten and we was leaving. they then proceeded to speak in Spanish then told me the total (which was $2 less than the original total) when I asked how that was possible they told me they had to charge me extra since we got refills on our drinks. This place is a joke! read more

Ordered the fiesta fajitas nachos and it was great. Had a couple of wrong orders, but they corrected the issue promptly and all guests in my party enjoyed their time there. read more

Good food and great service! Guacamole is the best I've ever had! Eaten there three times and love it! I recommend them!

I'm actually not a big Mexican food fan, but I really like this place. The waiters may be kind of inattentive, but the margaritas make it all worth it. Definitely the best in town! I usually get the nachos here, and I've always been satisfied with the half order. I don't feel like I leave this place with the "Mexican food smell", nor do I get an upset stomach afterward (like I often do when I eat Mexican food). I recommend! read more

A place that looks like a dive. Ended up to be a place to dive right into the food. We had a group of 15 and.they handled the orders well. I ordered seafood chimachinga and the margaritas were awesome. read more

My family found this restaurant mid road trip, wanting to avoid fast food or chain restaurants. Easy to locate off the interstate with plenty of parking. We were seated immediately, and received a basket of chips and salsa within the minute. We each ordered different items, and I modified my Chile Rellenos order from the menu selection. Three different orders, all freaking delicious. Too much food...finally finished the next day on the road (refrigerator in hotel room is a good thing). So...here's the wrap up: easy to find, quick and attentive waitstaff, fantastic food. Great for folks just traveling through looking for terrific food. read more

The food here is fantastic. Especially the guacamole. I had the Burrito Texano and it was delicious. I'd never had a Mexican dish that included bacon and it also shrimp, steak, chorizo, and chicken in it. Delicious. The beverage selection is awesome too. Trust me and enjoy. read more

I've eaten here a lot and the food is very good, but if you order your food as take out be prepared to wait. And wait. And wait! We ordered our food and had to wait almost 45 minutes after we called it in to get our food after they told us it would be 20 minutes. This is not the first time it has been like this. Usually it's very busy and those time are understandable, but this was a slow night. Just be prepared to wait for call in orders. read more

We used to eat here often and the prices were fair. Last two times we had horrible service. Waited 30 minutes after ordering for two people and asked the waitress about the delay. She checked and said any minute. She was busy flirting with another table of men. Waited another 20 minutes and waitress said the kitchen messed up the order. Asked her for the check for our cokes and we were leaving. She did not speak to us as we paid. We will never go back and will be warning all of our neighbors about this place. read more

Los Arcos was great! We are in Ft Payne a couple of times a year to pick up kids at camp and just came upon this place. The food was really good and the service was fast. It's kind of a "bare bones" Mexican place but don't go for the ambience - go for the food! read more

I just love this place the food and service is always great no matter which one I go too

Stopped on our way south. Great food great service. Very very fast on a Friday evening.

We eat at Los arcos very often. The Albertville location is amazing. The fort payne location is awful. Today I ordered my lunch and it had everything I didn't want on it. It was horrible. The food was extra salty and the staff was awful. Rude man bringing the chips and the waitress could not get our order right. Will not eat at this restaurant in Fort Payne ever again. Will drive the extra miles to go to albertville. read more

My family and I went to Los Arcos after reading all the raving reviews and say it was disappointing was an understatement. Our server seemed annoyed at having to serve us and when the food arrived, it was dry and burnt. I would definitely save my money and go elsewhere. read more

We visit the area often and this is one of our favorite's! The food is wonderful, service is great and it is spotless!
