We love Arlene's Beans. The taquitos and stacked enchiladas are my favorite. The margaritas are the best and the service is great. We get our food pretty quick no matter what time of day we visit. It's pretty good for a fast casual restaurant.
The food is awesome. Service is great too. The place can be a little small but people make room.

The staff is friendly and welcoming and the food never disappoints! Its a wonderful place to either pick up from or just come in for a casual burrito or taco or whatever you want. All the food is fresh made and there are a ton of vegetarian and vegan options. Always have to stop here when I’m in monument.
Food is amazing, but they are super stingy with their chips. We come as a family and regularly spend $50+ for our meal including an 8oz order of chips and dip. One small bag of chips is never enough for 8oz of queso but if we ask for another they let us know it cost $1.70!I don’t even really care as much about the exorbitant cost but more about having to wait in line again and about them not treating their customers fairly in this respect.Please don’t nickel and dime your customers and cause them to have to do an entire other wait and transaction for a second bag of chips that should be provided with the 8oz.So frustrating!

I love this place! It is not only fun and cozy inside, the staff are always friendly and efficient. Oh, and the food? My favorite is the taquitos plate but I’ve never had something there I didn’t absolutely love. The chile rellenos are another fave. And of course the famous beans ? Also, I don’t even drink tequila but I can’t leave without having a Mean Arlene margarita. Go today!

I love love love this place!!! The staff is always so welcoming and friendly. Don’t get me started on how much I love the food!!!(it is super delicious ) Get out and visit this amazing restaurant in Monument, CO.
Absolutely love this place! Arlene’s food is amazing! I cannot pick just one thing! Everything I try I love! My husband loves enchiladas and burritos! I am a taco, tamale, and chimichangas girl! But I promise you no matter your favorite you will love it here!
Delicious food, great menu variety, and the Mean Arlene margarita is the best! You can even buy a jug to take home. Best of all, the owner, Arlene, is the nicest, most generous person. The atmosphere is great for what is mainly a takeout place. Also, the app is easy to order on and pickup is easy and on time.

Very weird “Mexican”, as someone from Texas it was supremely disappointing to have my Mexican food served on Dixie plates with plastic cutlery. The cheese was disappointing and everything was put under heat lamps instead of being freshly made. Maybe it’s because it was “New Mexico” style, but I’ve recently been to Santa Fe and Albuquerque and never experienced anything like this. The taste of food was pretty mediocre as well and I don’t understand how this restaurant was rated so highly for somewhere in Monument. For authentic Mexican in the Springs area try Guadalajara Family Mexican Restaurant in Peyton.
