Review from Nicole B.
Awesome Mexican in Anchorage? Heck yes!
I don't think I would have ever heard of this place, especially on a 4 day trip, if it weren't for the coupon on the back of the Fred Meyer receipt. We ripped the receipt in half, and drove over to Los Arcos, which is in a strip mall off Dowling.
First off....who on earth decorated this place? Strange fabric lapshades, tacky sponge painting that looks like splotchy enchilada sauce....you'll have plenty to look at once you order your food. You'll get a basket of chips with 5 different salsas....all different, from mild to spicy. The lunch specials range from $9-12, so it's not super cheap Mex, but it's definitely tasty. The cheese enchiladas may have been the best thing I put in my mouth in the nation's 49th state. The rice and cheesy beans were also fab. Our server was energetic and got our food out to us quickly.
The food was so good, we grabbed another Fred Meyer receipt and got lunch again two days later. It was just as good as the first time. Looks like I'll have to hop a plane whenever I need my enchilada sauce sponge painting fix. -

Not just another hole-in-the-wall. It's THE hole.
The location is nothing but odd, easy to miss amongst all the car shops on Dowling.
The wait staff is a bit odd, but very friendly and helpful (even when I showed up 15 min prior to kitchen closing.)
But the reason I go... the food. Oh deary! Delicious, extensive, large and quick... what more could you ask for?
Oh, and did I mention how GOOD the food is? Better than Ernesto & Ricardo (and I used to toot their horn) and better then Mexico in Alaska (though just by a bit). I went last night and am already craving their scrumptious Ceviche. YUM. -

This place doesn't look like much from the outside... but it's great inside. I'm from California and this is the real deal.
We sat on the bar side and it was inviting. Free fresh homemade chips and salsa (two types) which was really good, I bought a pound of the chips and a pint of the salsa to bring home with me. I shared the fajitas with my fiancé and the were fresh, seasoned well, and there was plenty for us to share.
The drinks were strong, but good (good thing we were walking home).
All around an outstanding experience! -

Los Arcos Top Shelf Margaritas keep me coming back time and time again. Food is excellent and the Spinach Dip is the only Cheese Dip I have found in town.
I highly recommend Los Arcos to anyone looking for real Mexican in Anchorage. -

Last night I was hungry for tacos, I am from Baja California and I was missing tacos de carne asada, like the ones I eat at home. We got into the car and we drove to Los Arcos, my wife ordered a Guacamole dip and I ordered the Tacos. The double tortilla made it for me they were so filling, that my stomach was protruding big time. One Cadillac Margarita with the Tacos and I was ready to sing the Rancheras.
Good job Tobi. Keep it up!

A little "out of the way" Mexican Joint that really packs a punch when it comes to serving up some good home-style Mexican dishes! As I am with Chinese Food, my good friend Ross is with Mexican food. I drag him, he drags me. I liked this place because the servers were so nice, and the English so broken, you just had to love it. I had the taco/Enchillada special, and I was VERY happy. They brought a TON of side dishes, and peppers, to the point where you could breath fire. The prices were great, and the service the best. Give them a try!
