Los Arquitos

Team meetings at work are frequently accompanied by their breakfast burritos. They’re delicious and cheap and I have cravings for them almost daily.

We really like ordering here. We even have a 10% discount car sticker! Service is a little slow but overall good food and not too expensive.

I truly love the food, but after them screwing up my food for the 4^th time in a row, I will not be returning. Every item I order has a problem to it, and when they read it back to me wrong, and I correct her, she doesn’t even listen, and it’s still wrong when I get it!!! And, this is an order with NO substitutions or special requests. And they STILL screw it up.
I was a regular customer for years. I love the food! But I’ve had enough. I’m a single mom, and eating out is a luxury and Los Arquitos is a waste of my time. I’m sorry for giving them another chance every time I go anymore. I’ll be going to Big Mama’s from now on…
Hire some competent people!!!

«All Hail the burrito man!»
There are a lot of Mexican food places in the Federal Heights area but this one’s my favorite. I love their stake tacos made with grilled stake (much better than the ground up mystery meat at other places) and hand made salsa. If you order anything smothered try their red chili; it’s the bomb! This place is family owned and it shows. The owner and his employees really work hard to please their customers and it’s very admirable. So if your too busy to cook dinner or if you want a delicious lunch on the go, give this place a try.

Los Arquitos is awesome! I go there regularly and get breakfast burritos, the chile relleno plate and taquitos. Every time it comes out quick and delicious! The people working the drive through are always very nice and one time the guy in front of me wouldn’t move up enough so I could place my order so the gentleman working the window walked out and took it!
Their menu is similar to any Mexican restaurant so if you want a horchata or sopapillas they have that too. I can’t recommend this place enough. And best of all it’s very reasonably priced!

While waiting at my friends house for him to show up, I decided that I NEEDED a smothered burrito since he was taking forever I headed off.
Santiago’s or Los Arquitos!!! Eh, lets try Los Arquitos since I had never been there and I wanted to use the drive thru.
Pretty standard Mexican menu, maybe more on the more expensive side. I ended up ordering a chicken and bean smothered burrito and a horchata. Total: $ 6.10.
The ordering guy was very nice and kept calling me «sweetheart» and other names I am a sucker for!!!
I had to eat my food real quick, I was a little disappointed to see my burrito. No lettuce, cheese or tomatoes. Maybe I had to order it a deluxe? I’m not going to lie, it was a pretty sad burrito. The chile ended up being too spicy for me (wimp alert) so I just ate the insides of the burrito… naked style. Probably would not come back here again… but at least I tried it!

Ordered breakfast burrito, yum.

its seldom that i get to try new mexican restaurants because i usually only dine out with the wife. tonight was an exception where i needed to stop by the carwash and the auto parts store in good ol federal heights. its not too often that i make it down by gun, dollar and pawn store country, but i was crossing my fingers for a drive through mexican gem.
in the previous location of ‘the human bean’ los arquitos is what appears to be a drive through only auto-​rant. their menu has a staggering payload of what looks like truck stop mexican food, nothing special or out of the ordinary. they pictures are really not appetizing so when i finally tried the food maybe thats why i was pleasantly surprised.
i would rate this as a mom and pop taco bell. they are open late, and drive through but are no casita da durango (which is my benchmark 10 for tacos in this country). they are about $ 2 a taco so are a bit more expensive than their giant corporate competitor but are a nice alternative. their sauce is not nearly as hot or plentiful but i’m sure the food is better for you.
