Los Arcos Authentic Mexican Restaurante

Went here twice while in the area for work. Lunch specials were typical of Mexican restaurants. However, I feel the portion size was lacking for the fajitas. Plate was full of peppers and onions, with only a small helping of chicken. Don’t think I would recommend.

Traveling from Detroit down to Columbus and this place showed up on Unilocal as a decent place to stop en route. The tacos were ok and the beer was cold, but not really much to write home about. Truth be told though, there weren’t many other options in the are though so I could see how this place could be «as good as it gets» for the area.

I love this place! I live 20 minutes from the Mexican border and have not found food as good as this place. I visit at least 3 times when I am in town.

Best I’ve had in the Midwest.
My waiter told me he moved with his family to help his uncle and they all came from Los Angeles. They opened another restaurant and eventually his father split off to open his own. I believe it was a good decision. They brought legitimate Mexican food to the Midwest. It’s not the best Mexican food I’ve had (growing up in in SoCal might have spoiled me), but it’s solid Mexican food in Ohio.
I ordered a chile relleno and some pork tacos which were all tasty. I added some spicy salsa (you have to ask for it) and they were even better.
Definitely give this place a try!
UPDATE 2012-​02-​06
I’ve been waiting to visit Los Arcos again and finally had a chance yesterday. I have to retract all of my statements above. The food was extremely bland, the salsa was underwhelming and I didn’t even want to finish my dish. The chicken was flavorless and over-​cooked. The burrito and quesadilla were just as bad as any other midwest «Mexican» restaurant I’ve been to. A friend tried a couple of items as well and banned me from picking a restaurant next time.
I am very disappointed and will not be back.

Excellent food and service and be sure to ask for the homemade salsa if you like it spicy.

It may be the only Mexican place in town but it would still be the best if there were 10 places in town. The outdoor dinning is the way to go the waiters can be hard for some people to understand as they have thick accents. The inside is decorated with bright colors and ostentatious furniture. The margaritas are delicious, and beer comes at a discounted price when purchased my the bucket. The food comes to the table just the way i like it fast, hot, and yummy. I recommend getting the shrimp enchilada. a flour tortilla filled with shrimp and peppers then smothered in white queso. The shrimp is always large and tender unlike many places where your shrimp can be likened to chewing on a bouncy ball. The chips and salsa are never ending and its a great place for large groups because they have no problem pushing tables together.
The final verdict:
Come with the family or a group of friends drink have a good time and leave feeling like u have eaten too much. The Place to be in Upper Sandusky!
