Los Arcos - West St Paul, MN

CLOSED 10/06/2014
360 Bernard St W

This was No. 33 Carnitas Salsa Roja Verde at a penny under $10. The pork was amply tender but not quite melt in mouth and the flavor had marinated to the core. The spiciness was a ways below tolerance level. The sauce had a tinny bitterness that nullified all sweetness, a somewhat odd sensation. Anyway it was gone too quick leaving me to sop up the sauce with tortillas.


The beans with tiny bean chunks tasted homemade which was less salty and less heavy. The rice was fluffier and less sticky than typically offered. I was particular fond of the rice's texture.

Los Arcos exudes a palpable homeyness felt the moment I pushed through the door and serves as an idyllic if brief midday break from the corporate madness. A single table was occupied minutes before noon. Hopefully that was atypical and they thrive.
