Los Arcos in Rochester, Minnesota, is a great spot for authentic Mexican cuisine. The hot red chilis were deliciously fiery, adding just the right kick to the meal. Plus, the chips and salsa are bottomless, making it perfect for snacking while you wait. A fantastic choice for flavorful dishes and a warm atmosphere! Great lunch specials too!

My daughter took me there for my birthday and the steak and shrimp was more than excellent! I couldn't wait to start eating! Of course I was treated to ice cream and a serenade... Thanks Los Arcos!

This was the best Mexican food I've ever had! I ordered the chicken fajitas, chips, queso, salsa, and they brought out black bean dip (fantastic!), and my mom ordered the chicken and cheese enchiladas. We both couldn't stop expressing our awe of how good it was! And piping hot! We were immediately seated and our waiters were extremely attentive (checked on us 4-6 times) and fast. Everything was spacious, they seated us away from others which I appreciated since I'm recovering from heart surgery, and the music was a pleasant level. You don't have to shout to hold a conversation. The art is pretty, it has good lighting, and is very clean. The only thing that doesn't make sense is the fabric choice on the booth benches. You can't slide. At all. But we're definitely making it a tradition to stop when we go to/from the Mayo Clinic. It was sooooooo GOOD! 10/10. Update three months later: still phenomenal on all counts! It's now our tradition to stop here for lunch! Shout out to our waiter, Eugenio!

Los Arcos Kitchen and Cantina-North exceeded our expectations. My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience here. The food was delicious, served quickly, and piping hot. Our server was exceptional—she checked in on us multiple times, made sure we had everything we needed, and even brought us extra chips and napkins without us having to ask. Her attentiveness and professionalism truly stood out. We left feeling so happy we chose this spot. Highly recommend for great food and outstanding service!

Stopped at Los arcos for dinner while visiting Rochester Minnesota and I was very impressed with the entire experience. I ordered the chili pork Verde which was one of the best I've ever had and tried the new Corona sun breeze witch was very good but will definitely be trying their Margaritas on my next visit plus our waitress was very friendly and the atmosphere had a fun vibe with many of the customers laughing and talking amongst each other so if you're looking for a delicious Mexican meal while visiting Rochester I would highly recommend Los arcos.
