Los Arcos Mexican Store

I don't know if this is authentic Mexican food or not but it is the closest I have EVER had if it is not. The food is phenomenal! Also the grocery store adjacent has excellent authentic Mexican groceries

I took my Spanish students to a concert in Jonesboro and wanted them to eat some authentic Mexican food. I also wanted them to have an opportunity to go shopping in a tienda, and this place had it all.

I bought some tacos that my students hadn't tried before (tacos de lengua y tacos de tripa) and also bought some yuca frita and maduros for my students to try. It was really nice to have a place so close to home where we can have so many different kinds of food. Of course, the students mostly ordered the things that they always order at Mexican restaurants, like rice and chicken with cheese sauce, or chimichanga, or a tamale. But everything was delicious. The waitresses were really nice to my 17 students who took up three-quarters of the seating on the restaurant side, and the service was really fast. When my students finished eating, they all wandered over to the tienda and bought different kinds of cookies to eat on the way home and some different kinds of sodas to enjoy. And of course, a few of the kids bought toys and candy.

Overall, it was a very successful visit. I would definitely go back, and I plan to take my classes to the same place again next year.

I love that i can get my favorite meat there.

This place is AMAZING ! THEY HAVE SOME OF THE BEST AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD. IT'S SEASONED VERY GOOD NO BLAND TASTE AT ALL! MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT SHE BUYS THERE BEANS AND RICE DAILY AND SHE DOESN'T EAT MEXICAN FOOD. IT DOESN'T GET THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE. PLEASE TRY THEM!
