This was my first time visiting this restaurant. It is located inside of a big gas station convenience store. It is very clean and sanitary. The workers wore gloves, which made me feel great. The kitchen is pretty open, so you can see your food being made. The cashier was very friendly and answered all of my questions. He had great customer service. I ordered four of their bigger steak tacos, and I was not disappointed at all. The food tasted great! The taco had plenty of meat, and I was very full by the end of the second taco. They add your toppings in the box so you can add them to your taco as you please. There were plenty of toppings included. Also, they had my favorite green sauce there, and it tasted perfect. I will definitely be going back to visit. Next time, I will be trying their steak burrito.

Some of the best tacos Al pastor I’ve ever had! Been searching for a go-to taco place that is fast, delicious, and good price. That’s exactly what I found at Taqueria El Arquito. I put 4 stars for the atmosphere just because it’s in a gas station. But the tables, chairs, and surrounding area were all clean. I’ll be back soon.

Have always enjoyed el arquito but upon trying their new location, this was some of the best food from them that I’ve had! The Taquero was on point!! The Al pastor tacos were so good! So well cut. The carnitas Gordita was also very good. The lengua taco was decent, not the best I’ve ever had but good. We ended up ordering seconds because we wanted more! Always enjoy their Jamaica drink too! The space is very nicely done. Clean new space within a gas station. Check them out!!

The food was delicious, affordable, and authentic! The beans, rice, and tacos were amazing. Definitely will be coming back & recommending it to everyone! The gas station where the taco joint is located is very nice as well and they sell many unique snacks!
