Located in Costa Mesa, California, Arsenio's has carved a niche for itself as a go-to Mexican restaurant that marries authentic flavors with the convenience of fast service. Diners rave about the al pastor sopes, known for their delightful crunch paired with ample condiments. Many have also praised the super nachos for their generous toppings, a rarity in fast food establishments.

Al pastor Sopes are my favorite; they are nice and crunchy with all the condiments needed. They also have the lunch special 5 fried beef tacos and small drink for 11. You can also get a fried chili to give your food a kick. Red salsa is fire. Drive-thru is always nice

This food was way better than anything I expected from a Mexican fast food spot. The super nachos were covered, which seems to be a rarity. The Wet Burrito was SO good! The prices are really affordable with generous portion sizing. The staff was friendly and helpful with our questions. The restaurant is small, not really a space for 5 people to sit together so we took up two tables outside.

I had 5 rolled tacos 10. (Yummy n crispy) This is 1 of those eateries that could easily be overlooked or passed up . I am calling this a FAST CASUAL (not fast food). The chilliquiles is my new favorite breakfast item12. My repeat business was because the rice and beans here is worth the trip itself. AND THE RED SAUCE IS TO DIE FOR! When I picked up the container I was like"that's heavy". Sat down and enjoyed a delicious breakfast! ordered the carnitas tostada for 8. Good and fresh. THE RED SAUCE IS BOMB . I will return for the red sauce alone. I returned and I love the RICE and BEANS HERE! Chilliquiles12. on Wednesday OMG! Best breakfast ever!

I’ve Never found a place better than Arsenio’s when it comes to their plates. I came for the carne asada burrito X2 beans & rice and FREE SODA. I upgraded for the Jamaica. My burrito was delicious from the first bite to the very last. I also have 1 burrito left for tomorrow! I brought along a friend who enjoyed a grilled chicken Chimichanga. We’re both satisfied & full. Thank you Arsenio’s

This is the place to go for Breakfast Buritos, taste great with that green salsa. I always get the potato egg and cheese burrito, so good and huge portions.
