Los Arcos

Wow. Great Mexican food! It looks like a hole in the wall, but the food is really good and super fresh and tasty! I got the Speedy Gonzales for lunch and not only was it delicious, but it only cost $ 2.99! You can’t beat it!

Hey Amigos if you’re looking for some tasty Mexican fare then you’ve found the right spot. This place is really good and such a surprise to find how large of a space it is in person. Apparently Sunday is when you should experience the buffet but watch out for the after church crowds as I hear they tend to be large so it’s a busy time. The food is great and the service is too. I found the whole place to be tidy and the quality and price are exceptional. If y’all are in the mood for some good eats then you’ve found the place!

after our meal, my husband posted on Facebook that he was nominating Los Arcos for the best bargain lunch in the USA!
I was looking for a place for lunch on our way to the Charlotte Airport, and this place turned out to be perfect: cheap but tasty food, fast service, only a minute from the exit off I-​85. Our entire meal came to just over $ 10: 2 beers (Tecate and Heinecken were both on special for $ 1), one plate with refried beans, a beef taco and a chicken enchilada, and the other plate with chicken fajitas and refried beans. The vegetables were fresh and cooked al dente. Our water glasses were kept full by our attentive waitress. Along with our orders came all-​you-​can-​eat chips and salsa (free).
If we lived in the area, we would be here all the time!

Came on a Sunday right before noon and just beat the church crowd like we hoped. This was my first time here and I was amazed at how crowded it got so quickly. We were seated right away but people after us weren’t so lucky as they were stacked up outside. They had a Mexican buffet and a large menu with many items on it. Note of caution: if you don’t like onions don’t come here. There are loads and loads of onions in everything! The menu even states they have onions in everything. The only selection my poor wife had was a quesadilla because she hates onions. I chose the buffet and was not impressed with the what they had available. Enchiladas with ground beef and onions, taquitos with chicken and onion, ground beef and onion tacos, Mexican rice with onions, fried okra, French fries, refried beans (surprisingly with no onions), some quesadillas, and all the accoutrements that come along with Mexican food such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese. They also had sopas for dessert. Overall the food was mediocre at best. The cost for the buffet for one and a quesadilla for my wife and two diet cokes came to a little over $ 15. We weren’t rushed or anything but with the amount of people there they did run out of plates. The waiter was attentive to our needs as much as he could be; I never had an empty cup. I would not recommend this place to others as I have been to many other places that put this place to shame.

Bummed I missed the buffet (I came near to closing time in a Monday) but the Pollo Loco was crazy good: piping hot, spicy and delicious! Best of all, I could wash it all down with an ice cold $ 2 Tecate.

Favorite for years. Fresh food, fair prices and hard working staff. Not flashy but solid.
