Los Pastores Mexican Food: Reviews & Ratings
This is definitely a hidden gem in the heart of Arlington. Authentic Mexican food. I can definitely taste the love that is put in the food. It's a cozy place to come and enjoy great food. The staff is wholesome and kind. The chips are seriously the best I had. Do yourself a favor and try this place.
Friendly staff & delicious food. Warm chips and cold salsa as soon as you sit down. Ordered the taco Tuesday special; barbacoa was the best I've had in a while (less greasy, yet flavorful), pastor and chicken were also yummy.
Always has the best food and service.!! My entire family has been eating here for years.!
Tacos were really good. Waited a long time for them even though I called 20 minutes before I got there.
Some of the best Mexican food in Arlington. I come here now instead of papasitos. Menu has the basics plus. Best chicken nachos I ever ate. Good enchiladas and tamales. Good breakfast foods. And the best and most friendly service you could ask for. Zero communication issues. Fast service at dinner Try it out Muy Pronto!!!
So...I was the whitest person in this place. So you know it's gotta be good. The service was outstanding. Very friendly. But the food was beyond. From the chips, which were light and airy to the bistek it was out of this world. The wife had carnitas which were pretty damn good. Next time I will try the pork pastores as that look pretty good too. If you are out and about on this side of town it is a must try in my book!!
The outside of this restaurant may not look too fancy but the food inside is so good. This is such a affordable and delicious place to get authentic Mexican tacos. We came with a small group of six on a weekend evening, and I knew it was going to be good when there were multiple types of salsas in little pouring containers to go with our chips. Our server was very sweet and accommodating. Food came out at a reasonable pace. Tacos were amazing (see photos). They also had quesabirria so I had to give that a try. Barbacoa tacos were also amazing. Meat was very tender, well flavored. The consommé with the quesabirria was full of flavor, without being too greasy. Of course, there are onions and cilantro, with all the tacos so that should tell you something about the authenticity. I'm sure the other things on the menu are also delicious, we will definitely be back to try some more food!
Pretty good. They have full cakes you can purchase! There's several different kinds in their fridge to choose from. Extra tortilla chips is extra! Bistek was pretty decent. I like it with a little less tomatoes, but it's not terrible. Green salsa has a nice kick to it which I enjoy. Beef fajitas comes with generous amount of meat. Was not chewy. Perfect amount of charred and flavor. Rice was drier than I prefer. Even though they don't close til 9, they started cleaning at 8, i got here around 730. They started mopping with Pine sol, so the smell was very overwhelming while trying to eat.
