Very good food nice pleasant atmosphere. Very nice and friendly people that work there.
This was my first time to be here, although my daughter had been here once before. I was very impressed with the atmosphere and the Beautiful interior. Our waitress Danielle with absolutely amazing in the service, hospitality and graciousness. I did enjoy the food although I found the queso to be a little runny and not a whole lot of flavor. I am one of those crazy people that judge a Mexican restaurant on the chips salsa and queso. I would recommend this place highly.
The food was good but the service was lacking. When we walked in the door the staff looked at us as if they wanted to tell us how dare you bother us and make us have to work. I want to say to the staff, thank you for coming in to work and helping us but please leave the attitude at home. Our server, pretty blond young lady with glasses was the only staff member that was friendly and helpful.
Great family run business and good location. Great remodel and amazing food selection. I personally recommend the fajitas. The salsa is always good and I always make sure to capitalize on it. Overall great atmosphere and fun area.
Food was fair,had better. Waitress seemed new ,nervous and got orders mixed up,dropped plates of food and slow to clean up. The place has been remodeled, due to fire. Was very pretty, clean and good Mexican music. Didnt see any smiles from staff...
Delicious! We got carry out for lunch and it was fantastic! The guacamole was fresh and tasty. The chili poblano’s were the best I’ve eaten. Great prices too! You’ve got some new fans!
Its not like it use to be. The food this time was dry and not good and the service was not what we expected
Been here 2 times. Great food and service both visits. Also its very clean and nicely decorated. Danielle waited on us the first visit and was so nice we came back and Angelica was our server who also did a great job. Food was consistently good both visits.
It gets 4* because the fajitas are the best in Abilene and as good as most anywhere else in the state. The accommodations are reasonable but high staff turnover gives spotty service. If you’re hungry for fajitas, you can’t go wrong at Los Arcos.
Excellent Tasting Mexican Food! Very good menu, staff is very nice. and the prices will keep you coming back to try out every dish on there menu. And they have a lot on the menu!! Also made new friends with fellow patrons. Great place to eat at all the way around! My Misses said its best Mexican food in all of Abilene. And she has eaten at pretty much all of restaurants in town. And its Kid Friendly Too!!!
Good food, staff is attentive. Chicken fried steak is OK but the ribeye steaks are really good... All of them!
Had chile relleno. Very good. Very clean and extremely reasonable. 4 stars cuz not many options for a vegetarian. Meat eater would likely give 5 stars
Ive always liked Los Arcos and have been eating there for many many years. I have considered it the best Mexican food in Abilene. But, that seems to have changed. I suspect that the owners have sold out to someone else and now there is a huge decrease in quality. My favorite dish has been the chili rellenos, which I also ordered on this last visit. As in my previous visit 3 weeks ago, the taste was almost nonexistent. My two guests, without prompting, commented that their dishes were tasteless. UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2021: No improvement. Hard to get along with. Refused to allow us to put tables together because. It spreads too many germs. Amazing!
Had lunch there today and it was great
This is a great place. The atmosphere is pleasant, wait staff is helpful and friendly. The food is delivered warm and fresh. The only slight problem is the tea/drink refills often do not happen and you must ask for them.
Staff and service are good. The food is another story. The salsa they serve with the chips is rather bland. The fajitas were NOT seasoned. They brought me a plate of overcooked beef strips with burned onion pieces all of which had no flavor. I am use to authentic Mexican food and this food didnt come close 🤮🤢
The food was excellent! Chips were fresh and warm and the hot sauce was really good! Highly recommend this place. It was clean and the waitstaff was busy but very attentive to our needs.
No chip refills allowed what a joke, foods quality has gone down hill compared to what it use to be. Slow service highly disappointed
Guess they had a bad night! Our ticket got lost! We waited over an hour for our food. Food was good but you’d think they would have at least offered to comp one of the four meals or the drinks for us having to wait so long... I guess I just run my restaurants a little differently. I would have at least apologized and offered something... Dessert or something!Disappointed in service!
First time here, sorry folks this is not authentic MEXICAN FOOD!!! Who uses round steak for fajitas?? ITS GOTTA BE SKIRT STEAK!! NO EXCUSES!!! RICE WAS DRY, NO MELTED CHEESE ON THE BEANS????
Poor service and food was like out of a can and Way Way Way over priced. My plate came lukewarm and the size of a childs plate. My plate was covered in onions and bell peppers in like four strips of meat. Not happy at All. This is a hour and a half of my time i can Never get back.😠
Its not the best, the queso is out of a can and there food comes out of the freezer from ones you buy at the super market, but the service and the waitresses are very nice
Los Arcos is a good, stable Mexican restaurant. Leaning towards Tex-Mex more than just Mexican, the food is good here. The only problem we ran into was the restaurant was pretty crowded and was short-handed as far as waitstaff. It took us a while before we were actually able to submit our order, but once submitted, the food came out fairly fast, and was hot and fresh. I find things on the menu here I have found no other place. Their mushroom enchiladas are awesome. A great lunch restaurant. Just be careful about going on the weekend as there may be a wait for your order to be taken.
Food was wonderful. Service a little slow but as with everywhere they are short staffed.
Service was terrible. Wait 10 min to get water and chips let alone order food all the while the table next to us coms in and get their drinks and chips before us. Then the waitress wasn’t even sure what types of sauces and never offered to go find out.Use to absolutely love this place. I may not be back
Really enjoy having family eat with me here , really great food here. Everyone is very friendly and the service they provide is great also. Will always return every chance I can.
What awesome food. Wife and I tried since many others not dine in. Cant say enough about everything...moreover the service is the best we ha e has in Abilene. We are making this our new #1 for Mexican in Abilene and they give veterans discount too.
Los Arcos is an old family favorite from way back. Our visit today was no different.Quickly seated, orders taken while chips and salsa delivered.Piping hot meal, made fresh from scratch. No prepackaged foods here!!For authentic Mexican food, try them out. You wont be disappointed.
Im not sure if its new cooks or if its due to Covid and the food is not prepared as before Covid. Carne Guisada was not good had to sent back for a different plate, staff short one young lady going all over the restruant to keep people served. Love this place maybe it will get better.
The sad thing is they have good food they just can’t cook it the way someone wants kept telling them well done on all meats then they get mad because u ask to cook longer then have the nerve to say we can’t cook it the way u want ask to talk to cook to tell him I want it well done they say he can’t so they told me they didn’t want me to order fajitas because they can not cook well done always paid for the food
Los Arcos was clean and neat with efficient service. My choice of chicken fajita meat taco salad was a winner. The taco bowl was thin and crisply fried to perfection. Unlike many taco salads, the salad wasnt mostly lettuce or beans. The salad was a delicious equal amounts of meat, lettuce and beans with just right amount of other fresh vegetables, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. My first dining experience at Los Arcos was excellent. Plan to be a returning customer.
I like the food. I like the fact they kept the place up and alive after the fire, that was extremely sad.The waitress didn’t seem to like us though once we asked a question she didn’t know the answer to. So we asked the head lady in charge, and she copped an attitude with my husband. Whatever, there’s other places to eat at. No biggie.
Mediocre service. My plate came out overcooked to the point it was beef jerky and my fiancees plate had no flavor. The lime juice had more flavor than anything on the plate. So we paid 27 bucks for overcooked, microwaved, frozen quality food.
Had super fast service, and the food was delicious!! I had the mixed fajita plate and it was pretty good. Lemonade was sweet, just like I like it. Great place overall.
1st time eating here but not my last. The plate I had, the #12, was delicious. The service is great. Ill be back.
Great food, good service. This first visit makes me wish I had found this place sooner. I plan to eat here any time I crave Mexican food from now on.
My family and I went standing and waiting to be seated. We finally got seated thats to a gentleman came from the back. Our waitress came and told us we have 4 minutes to order. If my daughter didnt want mexican food we would have got up and left top all that i had to get up and find someone to get refills.
Things he changed since the fire. Disappointing this time around
It was ok. I really miss Houston Texmex. The enchiladas were lacking sauce asked for extra. Can queso, which is the norm around here. Hopefully one day Ill find something I really like. Servers were quick and on it
Still some of the best Mexican food in Abilene, hot fajitas, homemade tortillas and spicy salsa.
Allways a Great Experience. Chips and Salsa are delicious. My wife loves the shrimp cocktail and my favorite is the fajitas.
The food was ok but the staff is terrible they sat us down then following sat another table and then another table the last table that they sat got their drinks their chips and was already ordering before we even got our drinks sane goes for the second table the lady at the 3rd table was so nice she actually told the waitress will you go please help them before us they have been here ,, the waitress turned and looked at us and said someone will get their drinks in a minute,,, Terrible service I would not recommend this place and this is not the first time service was not good either
Mexican food and the setting at this spot is very good. staff is always super even when they have a full house. i look forward to going back again.
Pretty good place if you want Tex-Mex that can satisfy your taste buds and your wallet. Got the Encharito and kinda wanted a beef fajita option. Would also be nice if they had a Chimichanga too.
The employees are very sweet, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was decent, but they dont have chimichangas or margaritas. I feel like these are a must when it comes to a Mexican restaurant.
Great food. Always wait to be seated. Sometimes you have to wait on a server, but overall its a good experience with great authentic Mexican food.
Love this restaurant. Great salsa and wonderful food! Inside is always spotlessly clean and bright.
Everytime we go, the food is so good. The service is hit or miss depending on how busy they are. Its never bad service, just better sometimes than others.
Great food! Nice environment and very good food. Our waiter Nathan was fabulous. Give them a try.
Hot food. Easy access. Good parking. Great staff. Verry attentive. Wheel chair accessible. Plenty of room inside if you have a big group
Nice place friendly staff decent food very reasonable
Service was good, friendly and prompt. Food, ok but had better.
Great authentic Mexican dishes.Very friendly staff and quick delivery of food. Will definitely return
Very busy, but the staff kept up the pace. Traditional TexMex, but good. The hot sauce has a bite of heat, but not to much, just right.
I know taste is subjective...I just dont think their food is very good. Ive had various items from their menu.No other issues.
Nice people. Can be too busy to do a great job, and service can be slow, parking is a nightmare, shady part of town. But the people are AWESOME. Some things work, some dont - hopefully this one gets a re-rebound.
Great food good service friendly staff. I think the Mexican Restaurant in town!
Very good food. Great wait staff and service. Filling. The salsa is top notch.
This is amazing food. Wonderful staff. Great menu. Chillie Rellenos are Devine. Love their homemade salsa.
Three times in a row we have been and they closed early. They meet us at the door with a restaurant full of people and tell us they are closed. Really?? Extremely rude and don’t even try to accommodate customers. We were there between 1:30 and 2:00 each time and the internet says they close at 2:30.
Dont try this place. The worse TexMex Ive had. Rosas Cafe is better.
Delicious food, good service, very clean
I have always loved this place!!! One of the best food in abilene!! My respects for this business❤️
Nice, clean restaurant. Food is probably average. Friendly staff.
The food, prices, service and portions are always on point. House made chips and salsa are great too.
The food is always good and hot. We enjoy coming here for lunch.
Our neighborhood restaurant is clean, follows Covid protocols and is consistent with good food and good service.
Great Mexican food. But make sure you have your drink before you eat the salsa - its hot!

I had the chicken-fried steak it was the worst one I ever had in my 60 years of eating they call this place a Spanish restaurant it is not it is a fake Mexican food in my opinion

2022-05-21Food used to be good back then … now everything is different meat wasn’t to good chips and Hot sauce different don’t really recommend
Review №2
2021-06-17My only complaint is that they give you too much food. Theres no way you can finish one of these affordable meals in one sitting. You might as well ask for a box before you start. The chili rellenos were especially delicious. Homemade tortillas, enchiladas, everything was fantastic.
Review №3
2022-04-21I was expecting something bland and generic but my god was I wrong! This place is great! The food was phenomenal. Great pricing and portions! Great service! Really cool mural on the side of the building too!
Review №4
2022-04-30We used to love this place! Friday night and no cars should have been our first warning sign. Tables still sparse like early Covid days. Hot sauce and chips were different and not good. We each took one bite of our chili rellano and something was spoiled. Told the cashier and left. So sad!
