I was pretty disappointed with my visit to Arco's Mexican Restaurant. The overall experience just didn't meet expectations. The food didn't taste very fresh, and it gave off the vibe of being over-prepped but not moving quickly enough -- if that makes sense. It lacked that vibrant, made-to-order flavor you hope for with Mexican food. The service was just okay -- nothing terrible, but nothing particularly memorable either. The environment also felt a bit stale and stagnant, which didn't help the experience. Unfortunately, this just wasn't a place I'd return to. read more

When you walk into the building there is a peculiar odor. They were moderately busy. We were seated right away and the server was very nice, all the staff were nice. The food wasn't very good, in fact my son just left not feeling well. We weren't offered any refills for the drinks, or chips or salsa either. Our glasses sat empty and the dirty dishes weren't taken until the bill came. Still left over 20% however I won't go back there. read more

Good food good service priced fair. Will definitely go back for those Yummy margaritas!

Considering there's more than 15 Mexican restaurants within a few minutes of our home, Arcos on Winchester Rd is one of the best - always have excellent food and they make their own skinny margarita mix from scratch. They have outdone themselves with the spooky drinks for Halloween, which they gave us a taste test read more

Stopped by for lunch. Service was quick and the food came out promptly. I was provided chips/salsa quickly and was even offered a to go cup for my drink. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the food. I was interested in trying sopes but they did not have them on the menu. The restaurant appeared clean and orderly. read more

I went to Arcos once years ago when they were located on dupont and I remember thinking how good their food was. I believe they closed during covid, but recently opened back up and relocated in Waynedale. I tried it out with my aunt and I would definitely say this place lives up to what I remembered. She got the margarita flight which was absolutely amazing. Some of the flavors were spicy but not too spicy like other places that make it overwhelmingly spicy. The bartender ever gave us a free mini of the pineapple chipotle margarita he came up with to test it out and give our opinion. It was soooo good! She also ordered the chicken tacos which were okay, but she's a plain eater so I wasn't expecting much from her order. The birria tacos were delicious! The were full of meat and the consume was the perfect amount and filled with flavor. I definitely can't wait to got back! read more

I waited a few days before writing this review. I wanted to make sure I was able to convey several unbiased points in this space. First, the smell that greets you at the door is amazing. The waffling aroma of meat cooking is so soft to the nose, not overpowering, but rather a welcome to come in and enjoy. The location is easily accessible, it's at the end of the small strip plaza. Upon entry, I was warmly welcomed by the host. He was pleasant and engaging. Almost immediately after being seated, my waiter arrived. He was courteous and efficient. The table I sat in was near the bar and it had several other patrons in the area. The noise level was average and the entire atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. My companion and I opted for the white queso with our chips. It had a very mild flavor, I tend to like a little more spice. Our dinner arrived timely after ordering. I had the chimichanga, it wasn't fried, which is my personal preference, but it was ok. My companion had the burrito supremo, he said it was on par with others he had tried. All that being said, the atmosphere is amazing, the staff is excellent, and the energy is top tier. The food is ok, it's ok. I wanted to really absolutely love it and in the end, I liked it. I'll try to again. read more

Arcos still does a fantastic job at bringing you quality Mexican food in a great atmosphere. Arcos has done a nice job with their Covid practices. The facility is large so customers are comfortably spaced apart. The facility is very clean. The team is very disciplined on serving you safe while being very customer oriented. The chips and salsa haven't changed. Both are good. I like a thicker salsa - Arcos salsa is a little bit thicker but not as thick as I like. I'm not a fan of the style of salsa cups - they are deep and difficult to scoop a chip into. The chip bowls may not hold many chips. The first batch of chips had a lot of space between the chips so we ran out quick. The refill was more packed and was plenty. We had a small and medium margarita to start. Arcos does a nice job at giving you a good flavor without being overly heavy on alcohol. For dinner my wife had the shrimp tacos. Lots of shrimp and food. Fresh and delicious! I had the three cheese and beef tacos. This was a nice combination of fresh ingredients without being dominated by cheese or beef. The Spanish rice had a nice taste - not too Spivey but enough flavor to enjoy. Give Arcos a try if you have not! read more

Sitting down at the moment. Service has been almost non existent in the last 30 minutes. And don't get the large queso, it says it's a 16oz bowl, it's definitely more around 6-8 oz. read more

Our families favorite place to eat. Food is great service is great no complaints. Everything we have tried is top notch highly recommend

We had my husband's birthday party in the party room. The food was good and the service was excellent. I definitely recommend this restaurant for your next event. read more

Not bad! We came on a Thursday evening around 530 or 6, it wasn't too busy at the time. Our waitress was doing multiple jobs and seemed a little bit overwhelmed. She took our orders and then made tableside guacamole, which apparently isn't part of her job typically. She was also keeping an eye out for customers waiting up front and also mentioned that she's been having to do a lot more training. She was super nice, it just seemed like she had a lot on her plate for one person. Food was good, I can't say it was fantastic or something out of the ordinary for a Mexican restaurant... The salsa had a bit of a kick! Fresh gauc was good. I believe I had ordered carnitas- it was pretty good and I appreciated that the meat was not fatty. My husband ordered a chicken dish with tortillas on the side, he thought it was fine. A note though, having nothing to do with the restaurant specifically, but if you are a medical staff member coming for a meal... Which, it seemed like there were lots of people from surrounding medical offices there that night, we can hear everything you're saying... So if you're talking bad about your employers or the work environment, just know that it's being noted I'm not sure we really feel the need to return, but for a Mexican craving it, it hit the spot. read more

We've been here for lunch 3 times in the last week. Service was excellent, the employees were very attentive and friendly. They are also dog friendly and brought water for our dog without us even asking. Food was also great with plenty of meat in each entree. Anytime we are back in the area we will be eating here again. read more

Arcos Restaurante Mexicano - 16oz vs 4oz queso - Mexican Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

I've recently relocated to Indiana and this is one of the three Mexican places I've been to so far. Im a huge Mexican fan and i come from New York so I'm probably a bit spoiled and i hold a high standard because I'm used to my "happy place" back home called "Margaritas". Anyway, i accept the fact that the cuisine here may not reach the same level as you'll find in New York and that people's palates may differ as well. That being said, Arcos was really not bad. The margaritas were made well and didn't taste like cheap margarita mix from a jar and well tequila. In my opinion, you cannot consider yourself a Mexican restaurant if you dont make fresh margaritas from scratch. The chips were good, salsa was on point and the food was pretty good. So far im calling it around a 7 out of 10. But we've only been there once. Im excited to try different menu items and revisit this review later. read more

I was really looking forward to eating here. Unfortunately, the place was not very well kept. The food was ok. The service was good.

Excellent food and great service. Everyone was real nice,and great. I recommend people go and enjoy

This fine establishment has replaced bandito's and filled it up with great food and top notch service. I liked the paintings and seating was fairly comfortable. I will be back ! read more

Been going to to this Awesome Mexican restaurant with its amazing vegetarian option since it opened. Very disappointing to drive to the location and our favorite place to eat out is closed for good. Dang we were just here on 12/30/22 and there were no sign that this place was lacking business. Very very very sad day. And now a hungry day read more

Thee best guacamole I have ever eaten. Everything was fresh and tasted awesome. I ordered the steak fajita burrito, sauce was good, pick was fresh and tasty. Beans and cheese was great as well. No exaggeration but this food was a 10. Way too much for one person to eat alone. read more

It was a good place. Food was good. Margaritas good. What caught my attention was a big gold jaguar full of tequila. A buddy and myself had a shot. We both agree it was dangerously smooth. read more

Ever since Banditos closed, i have mossed having a full service restaurant in that building. I will try this place again. There is room for improvement regarding the flavor of the food. I will ask for the next level up in their salsa. I like that they offer degrees pf heat on their recipes. Improvement needs to be made in regards the overall It os a busy place and i need to smple some othet dishes. Enchiladas are usually by design pretty typivcal. I enjoyed those.. read more

Beautiful restaurant! Large, vivid and colorful paintings are scattered throughout the space. Vibrant lighting. Rich decor that would make it a great place for a date. For a Mexican restaurant, the prices are high. That delicious bowl of food you see in all the pictures is Molcajete and priced at $15! I ordered Fajitas Tequila which was approximately $13 and is a combination of shrimp, chicken and beef with peppers, tomatoes and onions. The portion was large. However, I only received 5 shrimp. The dish was simply just ok. The meat and veggies lacked any seasoning, including even salt and pepper. My guest ordered beef enchiladas which she also described as just okay. They appeared very generic. Sadly, sitting in this restaurant, I was expecting food as delicious as the decor is beautiful but that was not the case. Mexican food should be seasoned thoroughly and extremely flavorful. But that also is not the case at Arcos. If you're looking for typical Ft Wayne mexican food, visit Arcos. However, i won't be returning. read more

I used to come here for good Mexican food until my last visit. The restaurant staff without warning, played loud cymbals right next to my ear for a birthday celebration for the table next to us. It startled me to the point that I almost chocked on my food. It was loud, startling and completely uncalled for. read more

Pretty good Mexican food by Ft. Wayne standards. Steak fajitas and especially street tacos were good. Vegetable quesadillas were surprisingly good, and they provided very nice fresh jalapeños sliced lengthwise on request. Picky toddler ate the fries and cheeseburger in the kid's meal. read more

Will never go back. The manager is extremely rude. They got my order wrong, I asked for half off my dinner (didn't eat the portion that was wrong) manager said no. Service was slow, booth was dirty. stay away! read more

Poor quality food no flavor and the service was just adequate I prefer more authentic Mexican food

These guys are the best! They continuously check in on you to make sure you're doing okay. Even when it's busy; they hustle. It's not only your server that makes sure you're taken care of but other servers/staff as well. My kids love their food. I highly recommend Arcos! read more

I will say the Guacamole Fresh is honestly the best I have had. The food is well presented. It really seemed fair in pricing. I have been here at Lunch time and it can get busy in the area where it's at but the food is constant. BUT YOU KNOW ALSO REMAINS A CONSTANT! Amazing customer service. I was stuck in the DuPont hospital for tests over night. I call there, they set me up with the best guy, Edwardo, and he brought me the food to my Hosital bed. And as fast as I have ever got, high quality food delivered .. But honestly treat that Guac with some respect. read more

I liked when this location on Dupont Rd was Bandido's. Prices were more to my liking. Food was a little skimpy here compared to other Mexican places I have had in town. This location does have good beans, they taste premium. The other food pretty average, expensive and kind of skimpy, not to bad though. I got full, barely. Soon as I got home I shot a torpedo in the swirl bowl. Didn't take long to blast off a torpedo for sure. Something ran right through me, in fact in might of been those good beans, they were a little runny, but my torpedo was solid. Still shot one off though like right when I got home. read more

Tasty vegetarian quesadilla. Husband enjoyed his burrito supremo. The guacamole was good too. Very tasty strawberry margarita.

Excellent food and service. Wife had been there before with coworker liked the place and their food. We wanted to go for mexican food in Fort Wayne for wife's birthday. Service was top notch and servers anticipated needs before you knew what you needed. If you asked for something, no asking twice. They sang Happy Birthday, in spanish, to wife, and gave her complimentary small dessert, so flan came home with us. Chips - excellent - freshly made Salsa - excellent - freshly made Salads - awesome Fajitas - awesome Margarita - awesome, per wife Iced tea - excellent - freshly made read more

Food is always amazing!! Margaritas are delicious (cucumber jalapeño is my favorite and I normally don't like cucumber. Service is great too. This place never disappoints. Wish I had pictures to share but we are always n a hurry to eat the delicious food. Their portion sizes are huge too. read more

Went for lunch last Friday. Meals served were good, nicely presented and of ample quantity. There was continued confusion with our order, and the waitress came back to verify our order no less than 5 times. ( Ours wasn't the only table with the apparent lack of communication with the kitchen). We got our meals served, with an single ala carte item winding up being a separate complete meal. Got it corrected on the bill and all was well. The one star demerit, is for the Guacamole cart and it's presentation at the table. Sure, I get it, it is to show how fresh their product is. There certainly was no "show" with the presentation. The cart with it's hard plastic casters, would be likened to steel wheels rolling along a cobblestone road, the clatter it made going to individual tables was pretty annoying. The cart itself, was not necessarily very clean, but adorned with a tip jar displayed prominently in a very tacky manner. Truly an embarrassing show for the girl who really did not want to be there doing what she was shown to do. Do away with that travesty of a show. Everything else was pretty nice. For an established restaurant however, service was kind of off. read more

I cannot say I was to impressed by this chain Mexican eatery. Service was spot on which is great and why the three stars. Chips and salsa delivered right away and was given time to pour over the huge menu to big In my opinion. But I was pestered a couple of times during that time for drinks and made by the side Guacamole. Prices r average and the food came out hot and quick. But it was bland and lacked any flavor or substance as the enchilada and our burrito fell apart as you cut into it and was hard to get it on the fork. Also the food was cold after a few bites so not sure if the plates are just so hot but once they cool so does the food. Asking for more salsa and chips is looked down upon too and was hard to come by. As well as to go boxes. I will say however their rice is very good. Quick in and out meal but I wouldn't go back nothing special and the same food and service can be had at other Mexican chain eateries in town read more
