The food was to die for. The wait staff was excellent and Danny our server brought us things before we even had a chance to order. We have eaten here many times and always enjoy ourselves. We will be sure to visit again soon. read more

Yummy! I love cheese enchiladas and chili rellenos and they make great ones! I have also had the red and green chili, the red is great the green is pretty good. Margs are really good too! The decor is fun and colorful;the service is fast and friendly. I've been here about 5 times and the only thing I would like to see different is a better combo selection in their menu. Oh, and they have a mariachi band on the weekends which can be fun for out of town guests. read more

My office staff and I go there at least once or twice per week. It's quick, fast, and yummy. However, they have a variety of music that doesn't really go with the theme. One moment you will hear Mexican music, the next you will here pop. read more

We managed to make it in time for happy hour. margaritas and beers on special. The chips and salsa were pretty good. I had the steak tacos and my girlfriend had the mexican bbq ribs. The ribs were in a spicy chili sauce, kind of like a salsbury steak, but totally amazing. The steak tacos were seasoned well and were great with some lime and salsa. We finished it up by sharing a cheesecake burrito. And the whole time we were listening to a mariachi play some great tunes. Definitely a worthwile experience. read more

Love their Los Arcos Express booth on 92nd. The breakfast burritos are da bomb! Bacon breakfast burrito with green chili inside for just over $3! Can't beat it. I also recommend their shredded beef burritos! One minor drawback sometimes the potatoes in the breakfast burritos are not fully cooked. Staff is really friendly and make it a point to acknowledge frequent customers. read more

Consistant! Great Margs! My mom says they use too much cheese to which I say: "Ask for less cheese". I personally can't get enough cheese.... great food, great atmosphere! read more

This is a family friendly restaurant. We live near here and wind up here at least once a month. I have read some of the reveiws left here and would like to say that the staff has always been friendly and bent over backwards for us. If you do give this place a try you will likely on most nights see a few tables with 4 or 5 generations sitting down and having a meal. The food is representative of this diversity. If you are in the neighborhood stop by and give them a try. I like to enjoy a blended margarita with my tacos, maybe we will see you there. read more

We ordered margaritas and enchiladas. Food was excellent and the margaritas were on par. My husband and I are always looking for good "mexican" rice (NOT the spanish rice you find in the grocery store) and this place has it! We moved to Denver about 6 months ago and have been searching for a mexican restaurant that we like. We will definitely go back! read more

I've been eating here for years and it's been great all this time. Had dinner with my fiance and her family last night and it was no exception! Very good service for a party of 10. The manager checked on us multiple times. The margs are great and strong!! My only complaint is the lack of draught beers. read more

Food was not good. The salsa taste weird with chili pepper seasoning and is watered down. My boyfriend's meal was greasy and not prepared correctly. They took it off the bill. The Cancun Enchilada was good, but I didn't care for the rice. It had a strange taste. Our drinks were the only thing that was good. read more

Very basic and mediocre Mexican food. I think it's worth driving further to eat better. Service and ambiance are both fine, but not exactly good. read more

For any of the reviewers that compainged this place was too expensive, you're either an idiot or one cheap S.o.B. My wife and I have been here multiple times and we've never spent more than $25 for dinners, sodas, tax, and tip. If this is expensive, I suggest the buck-a-scoop Chines joints or Taco Bell. Los Arcos is decent and the prices are agreeable (dually noted now). Their salsa mexicana they serve up for free is fantastic. I've had everthing from rellenos to tacos here and it's all been very enjoyable. Just nothing too noteworthy. I wish I could give 2.5 stars but Yelp won't let you. Los Arcos is exactly on par, thus the 2.5 stars. There are many joints along Federal and in the old Berkely and Highlands neighborhoods that blow this place out of the water........Tacos Jaliscos in particular. read more

Food was delicious, drinks were nice and strong, great ambiance, fast and friendly waitress...BUT the hostess was rude to my son, then to me, guess she was too busy talking to other staff to DO HER JOB. I'll be back, but if i see her up front i may ask to seat myself. read more

Tech Fan. Arrived at 3:45. Had already surveyed website and decided to give them a try. Asked waiter if they had happy hour, he replied it starts at 4:00. It was now 3:52, I said come back when it's happy hour. He returned and I ordered a beer and the Monday special. Food was average at best. When check came, price for special was different from website and the beer was not at happy hour price. Server said they need to update website and that I ordered the beer 4 minutes before happy hour. Done with Los Arcos read more

Not very good food. Service was slow after the food came out. We got our food super fast but after that things slowed down as far as service. Green chili bland. Salsa was bland as well. Not bad Mexican but not great either. Prices are fair and they have daily lunch specials. read more

Great. More Mexican food for people that think avocados are spicy. I really wanted to check this place out. I lived 15 years in Los Angeles, and have an ultimate weakness for kitschy 'family style' mexican restaurants. This place looked like it hit all the marks; loud music, stucco building, costume wearing staff. We were even greeted super friendly as we walked in by the hostesses and seated immediately even though it was a relatively busy Saturday night. But here's where everything just starts falling off... thirty seconds after we are seated (mind you we have never been here before) our server comes to take our drink order. We indicate we're not ready and instead of taking the hint she suggests, "Coke products, house margarita?" like we just needed a couple more options to make up our mind... nope, still not ready. "Well how about an appetizer then?" Lady... we haven't even had time to figure out the menu. Please come back. Finally I have to directly say "hey we literally sat down just a few seconds before you greeted us, we're going to need a couple minutes more" before she left us alone. At that time, the pressure was on. She could come back any minute and this time she might not take no for an answer... So I start frantically looking through the table top bar menu, flipping it back and forth looking at both sides for a more complete drink lists. There are three cards; one for their 'coladas' one for their beer list and one promoting some specialty rum drink. Thats it. No margarita options list. No list of tequilas / othor liquors. Just what appears to be some kind of bachelorette party cocktails and the same beer list that you'd expect at every quasi-mexican restaurant in the USA. No help in finding anything from our server and she seems to be making her way back over to the table... Crap I better figure out what I want to eat in my remaining 30 seconds... The menu was confusing, especially for people with dietary restrictions. My fiancee, having celiac disease, has to have a gluten free meal and two things (both enchiladas) were marked gluten free on the menu so she ordered one of the two things even though I suspect there could have been more on there that she could have eaten, but we were given neither the time nor the help from the waitstaff to make that happen. I'm a vegetarian and probably could have special ordered something else (more enchiladas? probably), but instead I ordered the one thing I saw that explicitly called itself out as vegetarian - the "veggie" tamales. Oh and a house margarita, since that's the only one I knew that they had from our 'previous conversation' with our server. The food... ah... the food. Never in my life have I had such greasy, bland, flavorless mexican food. I ate a frozen Amy's Kitchen tamale heated in the microwave at work earlier in the week that was orders of magnitude more flavorful than the meal I was served last night that had ostensibly been made fresh. The instructions for the veggie tamales specified to order them with the enchilada sauce in order to ensure they were vegetarian, and that sauce was a natural 'nacho cheese' shade of orange instead of red like pretty much every other enchilada sauce I have eaten in my life. Did they make it with a roux or something? Why is the sauce gritty? Why do I need to mix salsa in with my bland beans for flavor and my beans in with my overly dry rice for moisture in order to choke them down. And that house margarita? Zero tequila. It was cloyingly sweet to the point that I was physically cramping while trying to drink it. Honestly, it tasted like I had been served an iced glass of sweet & sour bar mix with a salted rim. My fiancee didn't fare much better and was unable to finish her enchiladas suspended in oil with a scoop of sad red colored undercooked potatoes(?) on the side. At least her enchilada sauce was actually red... which was still kind of weird since it was purportedly 'mole' enchilada sauce and should be closer to a crimson-brown color from the unsweetened chocolate. When the check came, our meal was $27 dollars - which was good, because I would have felt upset about being ripped off if I would have spent any more. As it is, it was a $30ish lesson in why not to eat at Los Arcos ever again. This would probably be a good spot to go if you want to introduce your fat, racist uncle from the Midwest to something resembling mexican food but if you want to be satisfied by actual good mexican food and not just 'Casa Bonita with table service and no cliff divers' you'd be better served to go... well... pretty much anywhere else. read more

Wow. The parking lot is packed again!!! Yes!! This is a great sign. That means 500 people that are out tonite will NOT be at one of the good Mexican restaurants in my area! Thank you Los Arcos, the Casa Bonita of the north (minus the kitschy fun entertainment). I must admit, I haven't been there in nearly a long enough amount of time, but I stand by my words. I am just continually amazed that there are so many cars in that lot. read more

We're visiting from CA and can't say enough about the excellent service from Gary Espinoza! Only two weeks into the job and he handled it like a pro! Delicious chile rellenos and thirst-quenching margaritas filled the bill, but the quality of service - priceless! read more

There's a reason this place is always packed - excellent, authentic Mexican food! I love their chips and homemade salsa and their guacamole is also really good. For entree, my favorite is the chimichanga. My biggest critique - while the waitstaff is always friendly, they can also be inconsistent. If you go on a weekend, expect to wait a bit to be seated. read more

Super friendly staff, waits go quickly, family owned. Fairly homestyle, 'family kitchen Mexican'. They'll need to be careful to not cross the line to bulk, quick Mexican out of a can as they continue to grow. Stay authentic and keep to your roots! Great! read more

Enjoyed it. The price was pretty fair for a full restaurant experience. Overall it was mediocre Mexican food, but for the fact that I could get out the door under $15 with me and my girlfriend, I was rather impressed. I'd go back, but I wouldn't mind finding a place to drop some money for some serious Mexican food. read more

I love this place! We always get great, quick service and the food is always quality and reasonably priced. We are loyal customers.

Everything tasted good except the queso dip. It was literally a dish of shredded cheese put the microwave. I was disappointed.

This is one of my favorite places to eat Mexican food in the area and although my husband doesn't agree, my kids do so WE WIN! The salsa is absolutely the best and it's mild enough that the kids can eat it. In fact, we go through about 3 bowls of it every time were there. Everything is pretty solid and for a big calorie indulgence, the chili cheese fries never disappoint. I've been coming here since I was a kid and still see some of the same family members working. It's a neighborhood staple and always constant. read more

One of the best authentic Mexican restaurant I know. My family and I go there couple times a year due to the economy. The waiters over there are so nice and they haven't disappoint us yet. i am hoping to go back there soon. they serve chips and salsa to customers every time you walk in and the salsa are always good. I don't have to order appetizer whenever i have chips and salsa. LOL! but really, check out this restaurant someday or whenever. read more

I have been coming here with family & friends for 30 years so Los Arcos is a place of nostalgia & fun more then fabulous food for me. Most things are really just okay. (Some things are actually bad-stay away from the greasy tasteless beef tacos.) However, I love a loud Friday dinner here with friends, taking in a margarita or two in the classic hacienda atmosphere with interesting paintings and friendly wait staff including festive roaming mariachis. Flan is tasty, music is awesome and the drinks can be dangerous. Life can be pretty good here on any given Friday evening! read more

Very good food. I love their soft tacos and enchiladas smothered green. I have been a customer since they opened.

Been going to this place since I was a kid. On the BEST MEXICAN FOOD I'VE EVER HAD scale, this doesn't approach the top, but the food IS good. The service is (normally) charming and on top of things. read more

Not the best Mexican joint I have been to...and not the worst. I really wanted the green chili sauce to have more punch. My cheese enchilada needed a bit more time in the salamander...the cheese was still shredded and not wonderfully melty and gooey. read more

Not okay to serve fried fish with old fry oil. The only reason I will give two stars is because our server was nice. Food was not good and prices are high for the food they serve. read more

10 stars. Out of literally dozens of times we eat here every year you can count on consistently getting exactly what you ordered. Perfect. Come early, but if you do have to wait, don't worry, it's well worth it! read more

Have been coming to Los Arcos for years and years! They are always jam packed busy and for a reason. The food is always HOT, FAST and fairly tasty. The prices have been going up over the years and they recently changed the menu to add a few new items that are intriguing. The only problem I really have with los arcos is they nickel and dime you for everything. Side of cherries with your cherry coke? .50 cents, limes with your entree? same thing. sour cream? like 1.50. I understand all of these items cost money but it really deters me from choosing this restaurant over others because for 2 people lunch at a mexican restaurant shouldn't be $45 with no dessert . read more

Didn't enjoy my food, not authentic like I'm use to... But friendly waitress. Ordered the tamale plate, the masa was so thick wasn't tasteful at all... read more

Still one of my favorites! Each time I get the Los Arcos Special. Great value, tons of food. The margaritas are a must as well! Always a good time and a great meal. read more

Beware, my partner and their brother woke up with terrible food poisoning after eating dinner here. The food is basically Taco Bell (or worse) served on a plate. 5 stars to the service staff who were very kind and attentive. read more

This place has ridiculous surcharges. I ordered the burrito plate, and the waitress asked if I wanted it topped with lettuce and tomato. I said that I would. I received the bill and noticed I was charged $2.50 for a meager sprinkle of lettuce and tomato on top. I asked the waitress to remove the extra charge as I didn't know it was an extra cost, and I only got it on top because I was asked if I wanted it on top, however, I was not told that it was an extra charge. The manager came over and said that she would not remove the charge because it was on the menu. The waitress should have told me it was an extra charge because I would have never gotten it on top. What kind of restaurant charges $2.50 for lettuce topping? read more

If you like to eat hard, undercooked pinto beans, then order the bean burritos. I've complained about this multiple times over the years, but without any resolution. It's pretty bad when a Mexican food restaurant can't even cook pinto beans. read more

I'm amazed that people like this place. What a disaster! I ordered a combination of taco, enchilada, relleno and another item. It came out smothered in sauce that made everything taste the same. I tasted old oil on the taco and didn't care for the fillings on the enchilada or the relleno. The wait staff was eager to please and replaced my dish with the Tacos Al Carbon, which they recommended. The tacos were much better than the slop I was served first, but still a sorry excuse for Tacos Al Carbon with raw flour tortillas and tough steak. Don't go anywhere near this place. read more

Best guacamole I have has at a restaurant in years! Margaret were good and strong, but don't get the flavored ones. Too sweet! Love Mexican food and this stuff us authentic! read more

I love this place. Food is good. Not over priced. Love the margaritas!! And it's within walking distance from our house. Staff is always friendly and helpful. read more
