“Went here for the first time last night and it was good. We got there about 4pm and were the only ones in the restaurant. The clerk was very nice and took the time to explain all the items on the menu(I asked her too). She told us it was a family run business and they made all the items in house. We got the Monster Quesadilla(chicken) and the 5 street tacos(asada). I ordered a Mexican coke but it was not what I expected. It was from Mexico but was made with regular sugar instead of the cane sugar I expected. The quesadilla came on a lightly fried flour tortilla. It was loaded with chicken and cheese; it was a little greasy but that helped make it to taste very good. I ate it all and was filled up. The street tacos were double wrapped corn with a good amount of chopped steak with chopped white onions and cilantro available. There was not any sauce or cheese on them but there was a bottle of mild and of hot salsa available. I joined their loyalty program and got enough points for a free side; I will build them up until I get a free entree. The restaurant was clean and had Latino music playing on speakers. The taste and quantity of the food was great. This place was good and I'll be back“

“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. Los Arcos in Universal City Texas does just that and some. From the first bite we knew that the wait was over , finally true traditional Mexican and the first in Texas. They advertised as true Traditional Mexican and let me be the first to proclaim yes it is. Absolute in classic style Mexican. Just as we stated to our server and staff we can’t wait to return the first chance we get. Refried beans with no explanation nor introduction creamy and delicious. Cheese enchilada inside and out oh so close to the recipe my mom would arrive to PTA meetings late but the crowd would line up to get them while they were still hot and amazing. Excuse me while I rinse off from the one way hour drive to return before they close because a mans gotta eat.Parking: Huge public parking available.Kid-friendliness: Staff is as friendly and respectful as you would expect and recieve.“
“This place is a (partially) hidden gem, with the best coffee in town. My son and I go there for breakfast every time he’s in town. Prices are a throwback to 2004. I keep expecting them to raise prices, but they never do. Large portions, excellent food, great wait staff and unbeatable prices!“
“I've been a regular at this fantastic Mexican restaurant for two years, and it never disappoints! ? The chilaquiles and quesabirrias are must-tries, bursting with authentic flavors that whisk you away to Mexico. ??Yes, there's a wait during peak hours, but that's expected at any popular spot. Trust me, the delicious food is well worth the wait! ?If you love Mexican cuisine, this place is a real gem. Highly recommend checking it out! ?“
