The food was very bland. I got one of the soups and it tasted very plain and sort of grainy and the chicken pieces were big. Even after I added a lot of seasonings it was still lacking flavor. The other dish we had was the bistec a la mexicana which was also bland, the sauce didnt have any flavor as well. The food was mediocre overall. The atmosphere is very beautiful though. Although it took a while the servers were very attentive. read more

I was in the area and needed some food (had missed breakfast and it was 1 pm). I was immediately greeted, with a large choice of table and bar seating - it's more spacious than it looks from the outside. Turns out a lot of their breakfast items are considered brunch! Perfect. I got the vegetarian breakfast burrito -- perfect if you want that Mexican touch without the spice (which was my mood at the time). Huge and incredibly delicious. Eggs, avocado, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes... all the good stuff. The cup of coffee was massive with just a perfect hint of cinnamon. Now, of course, they have chorizo breakfast burritos and other spicy options, and a nice lunch special menu (which included fish tacos, and chicken tinga burritos, and more), plus their full regular menu. And, of course, they have Taco Tuesday. read more

The food is authentic and yummy! The real star of the dinner was the margarita! Kind of pricey but worth it!!! Smooth and delicious!

Friends recommend this restaurant and I have to say they are so wrong. The food had no flavor and over priced for what you didn't get for free at other restaurants we enjoy. read more

Hug fweakin S/O to joaanna? The waiter plus host? (Def not spelling that right pen sorry XD) plus that other guy with the glasses! It was my friends b day and they were sooooo ok with us being a tad bit loud, but it was also like a Sunday night at 10pm. They cool asf the birthday girl got like a chicken taco dinner and shit smack asf!! I took a bite of everyone's food and I only got a commesa? (The broth soup typically paired with damn near everything on the menu, everyone should know what it is) but if u come here u def feel at home if u come with a group and also be loud uk) for context im mixed with raised South side Chicago. But anyway cool asf def eat here bitches read more

Los Arcos - The food duhh idIIIOOTTTSS - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We were walking with no plans or reservations and found Los Arcos. It was quiet, playing football on TVs but no over powering music that prevents good conversation. The food was great. Flavorful, authentic. We ordered Carne Asada and Pollo en Mole. We also ordered Chips and salsa as an appetizer. The staff were attentive. The decor and quiet place made us love it more. We would definitely come back if we were in the area. read more

Los Arcos has good food, but the portions are small and it's overpriced for what you get. Example: guacamole with no lime: $10+. Their menu actually says 10+! For a small styrofoam cup of guac. The birria is excellent but tiny. Twice I have ordered pickup and items have been missing. I regret tipping for a pickup order when they don't even get the order right. Google says $10-20. I paid $60 for pickup for 1 order of 3 quesabirrias ( no sides) and an enchilada. Pretty disappointed when you order extra food, pick it up and it's not there. Go here if you want to feel shortchanged. We'll see if they actually refund me after hanging up when I politely mentioned an item was missing. read more

I love this place! Consistently delicious food, great service and very affordable! Authentic Mexican food with hearty portions. Their happy hour specials are amazing. Definitely recommend, I eat here every week! read more

Los Arcos - ENCHILADAS SUPREME! - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Stopped by for dinner and was able to order my favorite food: taco salad in a tortilla shell. Delicious. Loads of guac. I also had a side of elote, which was so yummy. Servers were quick and stopped by frequently for water or more chips. I will be back! read more

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! read more

Food is really good and fresh. Outside patioduring the summer is a must. Servers are very sweet just be patient when they're busy!

Love this spot! Good Mexican Food!! Good margaritas. Nice staff! Definitely a little "go to place" of mine.

I really like this place! Some of my fave dishes: their pozole verde, the birria ramen, and their chipotle chicken pasta. I know what you're thinking, "who gets pasta at a Mexican spot?" Trust me. This is something else. A delicious, spicy twist to some pasta. They put corn in it and it's so good. They always bring it out piping hot and fresh! They also have a live DJ Friday nights. Definitely a vibe here. read more

I've been a regular for about a year and a half. I really enjoy their birria tacos. That being said, they've let me down a few times. I've brought my mom who lives out of town twice and both times they've disappointed. My mom and I love Mexican food so I wanted to bring her to my go-to place. First time they were out of birria. The second time, a year later, the birria tacos were bland. I was reluctant to try again during my mom's trip. More times than not the food is good so I keep coming back. read more

The server/bartender was great. I got the 3 tacos dinner and it felt like eating water. Food was so bland and not even the salsas could save them. Don't know how you can make bland carnitas, al pastor and Cochinita pibil. You need some real talent to make those tacos so bland. The tortillas had more flavor. Then it's super expensive for what you get. Place looks nice though. read more

Stooped in because they had a Taco Salad on the menu but they brought me tacos instead. Companion already got their food so I couldn't wait another 20 min to get the item the waiter actually repeated back to me. Prices are expensive and $5.00 for 12 store bought chips and some salsa is ridiculous. Be warned about high prices, mediocre food and inaccurate service. We won't be going back. read more

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

Los Arcos - Small chips and salsa. $3 - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came to eat with my best friend. Our other original spot was closed so we continued walking down in hopes of finding Mexican cuisine. We find this spot and asked guests leaving the established if their food was good and they both raved about their recent experience. Anywho, tacos were honestly no flavor, we ordered tacos de barbacoa, al pastor, asada and Tinga de pollo. William, our server was great and we had cocktails. I didn't drink the cucumber cocktail and I was very polite and told William that I would like to go back to my original strawberry frozen margarita. I still had to pay for my cucumber cocktail though it was honestly untouched basically and though he was nice, I couldn't help think the business needed the money more to keep afloat because it was empty in there. My friend and I were the only ones in there and then two other guests arrived and that was it for the night. Anywho, I would never go back again. read more

Los Arcos Mexican Restaurant - Clark Street, Chicago I've been to Los Arcos a few times in the past and usually had a decent experience, but something seems to have changed recently. The interior still looks nice and inviting, and I was seated promptly, which I appreciated. However, I noticed my water cup had a stain on it--probably a one-off, but still worth noting. I was also surprised to learn that chips and salsa are no longer complimentary. That's their choice, but it definitely changes the experience a bit. I ordered the 3 steak taco dinner. Unfortunately, the steak was quite tough, and by the time I got to my second taco, the food had gone cold. I also ordered chips separately, and they didn't taste fresh at all. I want to support this spot because I've had good visits here before, but this last visit left me disappointed. I hope they can get back to the quality and service I remembered. read more

I used to love this place, and then the new menu came out and the prices are outrageous!!! And happy hour $8 for margarita? That's norm at a normal place! So sad to see them raising prices for renovations thru out restaurant.. staff is nice but damn! I can go somewhere cheaper 100% read more

This place is terrible delivery wise, there is always something missing. Food is good though

Pickup Order: Steak Torta, Chorizo Burrito, Rice, Beans. Tortas and burritos are fine, not much meat is put into them but the flavors are okay. Rice and Chips we got were clearly from yesterday, chips were extremely stale and the rice is completely flavorless and pale. Definitely nothing to be proud of. We never got our order of Beans we instead got a tub filled up with mayonnaise, we called for a refund and were denied any refunds, even though we were given a tub of mayo. If you want truly good Mexican food with better portion sizes for less money go to Krasy Taco Stop Inc 5 minutes away on Lawrence. Highly recommend them for both food and service quality. read more

Terrible service! Waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged and brought water and another five minutes to be brought menus. After 15 minutes of sitting at a table we get to finally order... another 25 minutes pass and no drinks, appetizer or food. We asked the waiter where our drinks and apps were. After inquiring he said that the bartender didn't put the order in. How do places like this stay in business? read more

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! read more

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! read more

Los Arcos - Green Pozole, my FAVORITE thing! - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I ordered 15 tacos and when I got home, there was no salsas. How do you not give out salsas?

Our first time eating here. Service was great and very attentive. Very cool vibe. My wife and I both got the Quesabirria tacos. Really solid tacos. Not quite up to my gold standard, Taclotan, but the best in this area hands down. Will definitely be back read more

Not only do the prices keep going up (I actually can get better at other spots for better price and quality). I ordered the Pozole verde. They apparently changed it and is now made with chicken. A huge disappointment. We will still go for soup (as long as that remains reasonably priced) and I know now to order rojo... read more

Place is AOK. Food generally tastes the way it is supposed to without wowing anyone. The birria dishes are 4 star and so is the Michelada. The chicken dishes are all ok. The salsas you get with your food are all way too spicy. I think the spice level gave our entire party GI problems last time we went, or at least I like to think it was the spice and not the food itself. Haven't been there enough times to tell. The marinated pork is decidedly not good. The patio is fun, but gets a bit too crowded if they let more than one person with a dog in. read more

I was recently back in the Andersonville neighborhood with my wife and daughter visiting family when we had a craving for Mexican food. Los Arcos was convenient and was brightly decorated on a gray and chilly evening, so we couldn't resist. Loved the food here and the service was excellent, even with our large group of nine people. Portions were filling and served hot and our drinks never went dry. The one thing I didn't care for was the restaurant's location next to a tire store. The scent of rubber tended to occasionally overtake the delicious cooking going on in the kitchen. read more

They honestly got me with the chips and salsa. That salsa was so good! Horchata, bomb diggity. Tacos, bomb diggity. I had the 2 chicken 1 poblano and they were soooo good. The corn tortilla tasted so fresh. *this was written by a picky Mexican read more

I'll give it a star bc I have to. They're in the right neighborhood, even if no one likes this place they'll still promote it simply bc of the neighborhood. The food was sub-par, service was mediocre and the prices were high. I understand inflation is high but when I had to pay an extra 20 cent for limes I was COMPLETELY DONE. Go at your own risk "to support the community"! read more

Ok so I didn't intend to come here because the restaurant we went to before didn't actually get us a table (rhymes with brittle sal gulf) but 10000000000000% this was the better choice.

Amazing chimichangas staff super friendly it is definitely a go to place for Mexican

I was definitely unfair in my first review. I think that we just came here on an off night. We have come back several times and service, food, and everything has been fantastic! The waitress (who seems to be there most nights and we have had her all but 2 times) is super cheery and friendly, and always has quick service with a smile. The food is always great and the prices cannot be beat. Plus, it's BYOB, and that is obviously a huge perk. It's become our go-to Mexican! I am glad I did not let one off-night ruin it for us because Los Arcos is a family favorite. Ole! read more
