Outside sign. Look at that clip-art. Do you want a fake-authentic sign hand painted by hipsters in Seattle? Arsenio sez "beat it, kook."

The carne asada taco. Tender and flavorful steak, super fresh pico and awesome double corn tortilla.
The girl at the counter is nice, generous with salsas and speaks great English. Look at that tip jar.

The meat inside my rolled taco. Tiny and dry
Look at that. 4$ for all that. Enough steak for two entire tacos, no problem.

Located off of the 405fwy and Fairview (South of Baker) near the OC fairgrounds and Orange Coast College, Arsenio's is a yummy Mexican food drive thru restaurant. I've never eaten inside but there are always a lot of cars in both the parking lot and drive thru which I take to be a good sign. My favorite things to order here are their mini tacos and burritos. Sometimes I even get a kids meal with a bean and cheese burrito and French fries and a small soda which is great value at $8.49 and plenty of food for a grown woman. My favorite meat of theirs is their carnitas. I don't care for their red salsa but their green salsa is quite good. Their fountain drinks taste a little flat to me but perhaps they are Pepsi products and not coke since I think Coca Cola has more carbonation which I prefer. Service in the drive thru can be a bit slow so be warned....However, I find the food to be well worth it though!Overall, this is the best fast food Mexican Drive-Thru restaurant in this area and for that I give it 5 stars.

Arsenio's will forever be one of my go to's for late night cravings. Their carne asada fries are so yummy and filling. I always get an horchata when I come and wow... it's so full of flavor. The line moves quick and I don't wait for long in the drive through. Either way I wouldn't mind the wait, the fries are worth it. The service is always so great and the cashiers have always been extremely friendly.

Wanted some Mexican food prior going to the Orange County fair.Ordered a Carne Asada Burrito, TORTA, and Taquitos.Worst Carne Asada buritto I have ever tasted. It was old meat.. not fresh at all! You can taste it like it was cooked over and over for warm up. Not tender and tasty. The salsa did not make up for it either. Red and Green Salsa was very bland. No freaking flavor at all. Taquitos was just meah, nothing special, just dry. The Torta was the only thing that came ok. That was fresh. So alittle mix and match of new and fresh food and old left overs. So dissapointed in their food.2 stars is for the Torta and the other is their attempted customer service. They try to be nice but I can see it is pretty much a front. The dude was rough on taking orders but when the female cashier came on board she was nice.Not sure I would try this place again. Knowing there is Mexican competition everywhere, this place does not even Rank in my opinion. I have tasted better food from those Taco trucks. Just being honest in my opinion. At your own risk, tasted better.

Went for the taco salad. Overall pretty good, but I would not get the shredded beef it comes with. Their shredded or grilled chicken is better. Also had the chicken burrito and the three rolled tacos with sour cream, cheese and guacamole. The chicken burrito is one of the best things on the menu. The rolled tacos lack meat but are always flavorful. $.75 for any electronic transaction They accept Apple Pay

Let's try some customer service, people! Staff is NOT nice, NOT friendly, and NOT helpful. Don't go here! You can get way better food for same price or less at other drive thrus for Mexican food. By far, the WORST Arsenios in OC. Came here for convenience because the HB one is amazing and same family, right? No!! No!! This NOT the same! We will now drive 15 min away because this place (5 min away) is not good or good experience. Do better!!

I just ordered food this afternoon, and it had to be the worst attempt at Mexican food that I have ever had. The red sauce was nothing but salt. The cheese enchiladas had unmelted cheese and again the salty red sauce. Maybe it's just this location because I have tried the others and never had such a problem. The fish tacos were nothing but breading, I got 1 bite of fish and that was it. The dude in front taking my order was mumbling behind a half plexiglass thing, had to ask repeatedly to speak up....at this point I should have left but I was ordering not that hard to prepare items....so I thought. I was wrong! It was the McDonalds of Mexican restaurants, except McDonalds does make edible food. Sorry McDonalds....maybe it was more like a mouth full of dirt and salt. Even dirt had less salt. No stars!

I love this place. Down in San Diego, you can get a Chile Relleno burrito at almost every Mexican food restaurant. They're fewer and farther between in Orange County. Arsenio's has one, and it's great.

This place sucks so bad it's comical dude. The breakfast burrito was nothing but potato and the sausage was all clumped together at the end.If you wanna try it, go ahead and waste your money but this place is weird and not worth it.

I don't know about the service or the ambiance. I ordered Uber eats. But I got the 5-year-old tacos and a horchata. The five roll tacos were fantastic. Perfect! They were really great. Great flavor loaded with veggies and guacamole and cheese. The horchata was extremely sweet. Lots of cinnamon. It was a phenomenal drink. Some was one of the best I've ever had.
