Los Arcos Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Universal City

what a shame walk in here people where’s so friendly but ended up not so good make sure you ask if the food is identical to what the picture is because they don’t match. They gave us menudo to try it was water down thinking we could maybe fix it with lime jalapeño or onions mistake still taste bad brother food came and didn’t look like the picture chilaquiles doesn’t look like the chilaquiles son migas con queso we told the lady and she just said sorry this is our chilaquiles well doesn’t match with the pictures after that it went downhill ask for coffee and only refill 2 of the 3 coffees we had to go up to ask for the check given to the manager they kept asking us how we wanted the chilaquiles we expected the food in the picture it upsetting. they treat us that wrong the hype wasn’t all there ended up sick to the stomach and to top that off heard one of the ladies tell them they just had bought the place. reviews might be from before

What an absolutely wasted year and a half honestly nothing more can be said about the time that has gone by eating wannabe Mexican food creations each and every time we have had to close our eyes and remember the good old days in California devouring absolutely amazing authentic Mexican creations that make your eyes tear from the absolute near perfection of Mexican foods that follow traditional specialty as they should be.

Props are given to the puffy taco, which was excellently fried and even maintained thorough crispiness despite me ordering it for takeout. They did well in keeping the meat dry and insulating the taco from the rest of the meal via tin foil.

Because they were only a few bucks extra, I ordered a torta with seasoned pork. I was surprised at just how large this sandwich was, with large amounts of spicy tender (but not marinated) pork butt, along with avocado, tomato, and lettuce. The roll was buttered and placed on the flat top for a few minutes, making it slightly toasted. Between the plate lunch and the torta I had way too much food, and I found myself willing to let the plate go to waste. The torta, on the other hand, was going in my belly.

For me, Los Arcos, along with Taco Guadalajara, are the front runners for the best Mexican food in...
