Los Arcos

Chicken Fajitas and Steak Tacos are excellent. Service is fast even on a busy weekend night.

Best price and quality Mexican food in town. We love to eat here. In fact, when we go out of town, we always compare the Mexican food we buy to Los Arcos. Rarely does another restaurant match up.

Get the tacos, and don’t «American-​ize» them. They’re amazing, and this little joint is a gem. Family-​run, they are the sweetest people around.

Burrito Suizo all day! Such a yumtastic burrito, I just can’t right now.

Place wasn’t bad at all! I had the steak quesadilla that came with a dollop of sour cream (I’d probably ask for extra) and a side of sliced lettuce and diced tomatoes. The portion was just enough for a quick lunch. Also, you’ll get chips with beans and two different kinds of salsa on the side, which are really good! The ambiance is very chill and perfect for a comfortable meal. The service was very good, and the prices are reasonable.

I was told when I dined there in the summer that they were getting a new menu soon and a rewards program. Every time I check to see if they have a new menu, they say no. Old menu is average.

Terrible customer service and incompetent delivery drivers! Despite their good food, this is the last time I’ll ever eat there…

Ok — I can only speak to a few things on their menu:
Tacos — Steak, Chorizo and Pastor — my husband LOVES these tacos. I always get those three for him.
For me — I love their steak chilaquiles with red sauce — they are so satisfying and spicy!!! The red sauce is sooo hot but so good. I usually request for extra sour cream to help with the heat levels.

GET THE CHICKEN SOUP. Flavorful broth, huge hunks of tender chicken, perfectly cooked carrots and potatoes, served with garnishes of rice, onions, cilantro and lime. I wanted to drown in it. It would have been a blissful way to go. My friend got the steak tacos which he said were great, not that I could see or hear anything that wasn’t related to my soup. Only con: service was really slow, even though the place was close to empty. But so worth the wait!

Affordable authentic food at a great price in Andersonville. Our office usually orders take out. When we pick our orders up, it is very clean and the staff are always very nice. My neighbor told me he ate in the restaurant and had their house steak. He said it was so great and so cheap. My summer willl include trying this!

For the price, it was good, but nothing special. Wish the server was a bit more attentive. Didn’t receive a drink refill, and took 10 min to get a check when there was only 4 people total eating. Wish the chips came with salsa too, not canned refried beans.

I have eaten there a couple times and the food was good. Service was ok. Meal was filling for under $ 9 before tip. It hasn’t been ½ full the few times I have been there for lunch.

We dined in once and did take out and delivery — I’m a fan! I think in this area, it’s our go to spot for any type of mexican food. It’s traditional and there are definitely no frills. I think the beans are kind of bland but they are nice and creamy. The pastor is kind of sweet for my taste buds (hubby loves it) so I usually go for the carnitas and steak. Tacos are solid and the torta is also a good deal. The torta bread was very fresh. Each time we had their guacamole and chips I’ve been happy with the amount and quality. Last delivery had a tad too much onion for my taste, but nothing egregious.

Love their food and service… They’re open late which is an added benefit for someone like me… They also have delivery service… I like the place mainly because it’s very casual… The staff is very friendly… Their tortillas are absolutely fresh. I like to grab a jarritos every time I come here.

I really like Los Arcos. I see it has some bad publicity here on Unilocal but I’ve always had nothing but good meals here.
I won’t say this is the best taqueria on Clark, or in Chicago for that matter. In Andersonville there aren’t very many options on Clark for authentic Mexican, where as if you keep going north on Clark all of a sudden there are a hundred options, but I ain’t venturing into Rogers Park if I don’t have to. To me, this is a straight forward taqueria. It is inexpensive, the staff is wonderfully friendly and I’ve honestly only ever had good and tasty meals here.
Tacos, tortas, chiliquiles, enchiladas, etc. It’s all good. I’m sure you can find the BEST taqueria somewhere else but I’ll always be fond of this place. A great joint for some quick and tasty bites. Low cost and friendly staff, Andersonville should better appreciate this place rather than going to subpar tex-​mex joints likes the new Cesars Margarita (that based on it’s terrible reviews is probably closing soon) or the now closed (also because of terrible food!) BullHorns Tacos.

Great food, great service! The waitress was extremely helpful and was making sure we had everything we needed even though the restaurant was busy. ROSA was amazing. I order the «enchiladas» the chicken was cooked properly and the sauce was spicy just the way I like it. We’ll definitely be coming back
.

This place has the worst beans ever. It’s the powdered beans that you «stir with water,» and voila. Insta-​beans.
I’ve eaten here twice because I work across the street. Each time I’ve had something different and sampled what my friends ordered because we always share when we go out.
Burritos are as massive as your head so bring an appetite.
I had the chilaquiles and the tostadas. The tostadas were alright, but damn the beans are just horrendous.
The chicken on my tostadas was delicious though. I will give three stars to the chicken tostadas.
I would say find another place on Clark St. Like Guadalupes at Clark and Lawrence. it’s 100x better. and not too far away

My mother is one of the pickiest persons I know. My mother loves Los Arcos, so I frequent Los Arcos when I want to take Mama M to lunch. Their food is solid Mexican food, and well-​priced. I typically get a burrito, but their chicken enchiladas (with salsa verde) are pretty tasty. The steak quesadilla dinner is after my fat kid heart. Also, make sure to try some horchata.

This is a quick eat & run Mexican food place. They serve typical American’s favorite Mexican food like taco, burritos, quesadillas and etc. they serve decent food and the service is excellent. The two waitresses are very friendly and attentive. They made me want to patronize their business.
Keep in mind although this is not a fancy place, they do serve decent food with affordable prices. I strongly recommend!!!

To be honest I am not sure how this place remains open. Every time we are here we are the only ones there. Either way this is your typical taco joint that has been serving Aville for many years.
Friendly service brings traditional Mexican fare. Burritos, chips, salsa, quesidillas and enchiladas have all been consumed. The food is decent and falls into the not gonna blow your socks off nor induce vomiting.
They do not server alcohol here but have a BYOB sign in the window.
