Arcos

Was recommended this place by my best friend. When I arrived I was treated very nicely and was given a beer and some chips and salsa. Salsa was great 👍 Then I ordered the enchiladas Banderas. Definitely the best meal I've had at a Mexican restaurant maybe ever. 22oz import draft and the meal was under $20!

Stopped in before headed out on a flight. We were seated right away, served, and out within 25min. We've tried a lot of Mexican food all across the country and have to say this ranks as one of our top five. The restaurant was clean, properly lit, wait staff was attentive. But above all the food was very flavorful, not super greasy, and not chock full of lard to "add" flavor. Portion size was decent for a late lunch. We had the shredded beef enchiladas, a crispy ground beef taco, refried beans, black beans, and steak street tacos that were the size of regular tacos, not the usual mini. $23 for 2 meals, chips and salsa included. Will definitely visit if we're in the area again.

I came by this restaurant on the way to my destination and decided to stop here for takeout. The woman at the counter was very pleasant, and my order came out quickly.

The protein portion was generous in this dish in comparison to the other Mexican restaurants I’ve ordered from, and it was delicious.

I didn’t dine in as mentioned, but the dining atmosphere seemed welcoming and looked clean. I will be returning!

This place is amazing this is our fourth time here and they don’t miss ! I always get the margarita flights . This place is consistently delicious and the service is superb ! A gem in Fort Wayne !

The food was amazing! The margarita flight was 👌🏼. Looking forward to going again. I didn't get a picture of the table side made guacamole but it was great as well! The only complaint I have is they didn't give us enough chips initially but that was an easy fix.

Not normally one to throw my full support behind a restaurant on OPENING DAY, but holy $#!+ y'all...you need to go support them so they stick around the #Southside #fortwayne for a loooooooong time.

Full disclosure: we were fans of theirs YEARS ago on Dupont Road because a) they were right next door to the business we were running, b) Eduardo, the restaurant manager was delightful and an all-around great human, and c) they were the only "real" food still open when we closed shop later in the evenings. The food was always good and serviceable, but the customer service was always on point, so it was always a pleasant experience, BUT we've only had a chance to stop in ONCE since we changed locations 4 years ago because we just never go that far North...

BUT, we broke our Golden Rule, and visited a restaurant on their opening day tonight because they've moved to OUR neck-of-the-woods!!

AND, I'm not sure what has happened in the last 4 years; whether it is new chefs, new kitchen manager, new recipes or ? But the food was phenomenal! Sure, they were dealing with the normal opening day jitters (nervous waitstaff over-apologizing for food delays, getting missed on the wait-list, backed up bar & kitchen, etc), but it was well worth the wait...unbelievable flavors in some "simple" and "standard" Mexican-American restaurant staples, food came out hot, and portions were RIDICULOUS...best I've had this side of the Mississip! House #salsa was fine, but asked if they had something w/a little more "kick" and they brought me a "salsa flight" 🤯
ALSO, #protip: if you're not in the habit of taking home leftovers for tomorrow's lunch, plan to split an entree on your first outing until you see what you're dealing with! 😅

All-in-all, outstanding. Congrats Eduardo & crew on the new location, and we are stoked (but a little scared of what it means for our waistlines & pocketbooks) to have you on our side of town! 👏 🙌

So, go check them out when you have a chance, a little time to spare, and a hankering for some good old "Mexican restaurant" food, and remember to show them grace and patience as they work out the kinks with new menus, new staff, etc, in their new location!!

I used to regularly visit Arcos when it was located north of town off of DuPont road. I loved it so much I had to travel to their new location. I am happy to report that everything was just as delicious as before. A friend and I went on a Friday night a couple weeks ago and were sat down immediately. Within a couple minutes our drinks were served alongside the always reliable chips and salsa.

Only moments later the entrees arrived at the table with steam rolling off the plates. My birria tacos were incredible. The shredded beef was juicy and tender. The cheese was melted to perfection. The broth was bold with flavor but not too spicy. The fresh diced onion added a nice crispy texture to each bite. The rice was well seasoned and the refried beans as smooth as can be.

If you find yourself nearby and are craving mexican, you should definitely try Arcos. I can't wait to be back. Thank you to all the staff for the excellent evening from start to finish. Keep up the great work.

I never leave reviews but after my experience at this restaurant I had to! The food was phenomenal. It had a great atmosphere, amazing remodel! The waiters were kind and attentive! Best mexican food I have had, highly recommend !

This little gem is located near the Ft Wayne Airport and so it's a great place to dine prior to a flight. I hope the locals know that this place serves up great food and the staff is awesome. Can't choose just one favorite, they do an amazing job with all the food. Loved the Guac made fresh at the table too.

Excellent food, and service especially considering they were slammed on the first day in. The only little hiccup I had was when ordering something ala cart she brought me the dinner and charged me for it. I didn't complain, but it broke my budget a bit. We would've just shared the fajitas otherwise but I wanted to try a couple items so I also ordered a chorizo quesadilla. I will say that they do an excellent job on chorizo. If you are chorizo fan, then theirs is some of the best I've had. Everything else was very good too. The hot sauces were also very good ranging from a mild smokey flavor, to a standard green sauce, and then something very unique for the really hot option. It tasted like a thick tomato bisque with a really hard kick in it. It was both good, and unique, a combination every restaurant should strive for. It's hard to say what's the best tasting food in the world, because you become used to some really good dishes. However, when you have something that is both unique, and Delicious, that is always a winning combination. I like the little 3 sectional cups they brought the hot sauce in, but I'd suggest including a little spoon with it. It isn't practical to pour it on food the way it is, and our utensils only included a fork and butter knife. The knife was sufficient, but a spoon would be way more practical. The pricing was fair, I couldn't complain. Especially if my ala cart would've went through. $5 for the quesadilla ala cart was very fair. $2.50 tacos the other table had look great too, I'll probably try those next time. The crazy burrito I seen served at another table was huge, easily feeds two people.

All of my meals have been excellent, but beware of the Diablo sauce. They don't warn you...it will set you on 🔥! I highly recommend everything else on the menu. And the staff is awsome.

Love the new location in Waynedale. Same great service and food as when located on Dupont Road

The food was very delicious. The only reason why I'm not giving them a 5 starts is because they don't serve shrimp cocktail... ( my favorite Mexican dish)
I got a shrimp plate, very good 9 out 10
And the pastor tacos, 10 out of 10 very good 👍

Love their food! Probably the best shredded chicken I’ve had. But PLEASE consider adding salsa to your online ordering! We have to call in our order if we want to add it, as there is strangely no option via online ordering.

Service we had was great !!!
The food was good. Different then where we usually eat. Plans to go back and try more.

Jonathan was so friendly and welcoming! We would have him help us dine there every time! He made all of us feel so welcomed!

One of my favorite places on my side of town!! My favorites are the Barria Tacos, Lava Rock Bowl, & the Margarita Flight is so delicious!! So glad to have a great-quality Mexican-American spot. Banditos went way downhill before COVID-19.

Wonderful experience food was great. Drinks were amazing. Service was great. I'm definitely going to go back.

What an amazing place! The food and margaritas were absolutely amazing! The service was great. Ask for their hot sauce...it comes on a flight. Delicious 😋

We've been here a handful of times. No qualms, thus far! We've had the same sever about 3 times. Whom of which is Christopher! He's a cool kid! I appreciate how he throws the banter right back! And to top it off, ya somos los mejores de amigos ❤ hehe. He's a GREAT server! Thank you Chris!! 😊😊
