| A must try, shrimp cocktail |
|
One of the best-kept secrets at Los Arcos is the shrimp cocktail. This mouthwatering treat contains 12 jumbo shrimp perfectly immersed in avocado, Pico de Gallo and fresh lime juice. A meal unto itself, this dish alone is worth another visit.
Owner Toby Gallo has been cooking since he opened Los Arcos in 1990. Gallo learned the secrets to excellent Mexican food from his mother while growing up in Guadalajara Mexico.
"I am always excited to be in the kitchen,” Gallo said. "I like to do things right."
Gallo does things right in his kitchen. One of my favorites is the Tijuana taco, a taco filled with beans, rice, cheese and shredded beef wrapped in a soft tortilla and then grilled to perfection. Another is spinach enchiladas. Or, if you are in a spicy mood, give the chicken chipotle a try. All the entrees are served in generous portions that will leave you with a smile on your face and little room in your belly.
The best part about all the dishes is that they are hand-made and fresh. Sauces are produced as needed to insure only the best quality reaches your table.
Having worked up a thirst, you have 24 beers and 35 different kinds of tequila to choose from. A great selection compared to most other places. Feeling adventurous? Try a special house drink like a Mariposa: rum brandy, lemon and orange juice. It's just the right mix to cut through your deliciously spicy meal.
Los Arcos, whether you are looking for that quiet evening out or just a pleasant diversion for lunch, this is the place. It's a local's secret, but it won’t stay that way for long.
