“ Nice place to eat in. Try to get inside, the surrounding is more beautiful than at the lobby. Guacamole was nice, nachos with pork nice as well, lime soup was so-so. Very nice juice with pineapple and spinach. Good Mexican local food. ”
“ Wow. This yucatecan food is one of the best if’ve ever had. The sikilpak was new for me, definitely worth trying. The queso relleno was definitely our favorite. The yaca ice cream is a must. The waiter, Ivan de Jesus very kind and knows the menu to the detail. ”
“ Stopped at Los Arcos for lunch on our way to Merida. Great food and fantastic service - the sikilpak with Valladolid sausage was a standout. Alessandro was great at explaining the menu in English, making recommendations and making sure our beers were replenished! ”
“ We had a quick lunch in Los Arcos. The setup and atmosphere were very nice. The food was good and tasty. My husband really liked the queso relleno while I found a tasty vegan dish (I forgot the name but added the picture). It was with fresh vegetables and fried tortilla with beans. Delicious. The service was quick and efficient. Worth the detour if you are looking for a place to eat in Izamal. ”
“ The food was so good, gotta try the salsa habanera. Get the traditional plate ”

Story & Atmosphere
Restaurante Los Arcos
Restaurante Los Arcos, nestled in the heart of Izamal, Yucatán, offers an authentic taste of Mexican and Yucatecan cuisine that truly stands out. This charming spot, located at C. 28 292 in Izamal’s Centro, invites diners to experience not just the food but also the vibrant local culture through its warm atmosphere and inviting courtyard.
One of the highlights here is the inventive use of traditional ingredients, like the sikilpak served with Valladolid sausage—a dish that delighted my palate with its rich, smoky flavors balanced by fresh, tangy notes. The queso relleno, a local favorite, stands out as a hearty and comforting delight, while the vegan options, featuring fresh vegetables paired with beans and fried tortillas, show the restaurant’s thoughtful attention to diverse dietary preferences.
The freshness of the guacamole and the perfectly crispy nachos with pork make for satisfying starters, complemented by unique touches such as the pineapple and spinach juice, which refreshes the palate with a green vibrancy. For those seeking something sweeter, the helado de yaca (jackfruit ice cream) offers a creamy, subtly sweet finish that showcases regional ingredients with flair.
Service at Los Arcos is consistently praised for its friendliness and attentiveness. Waitstaff like Ivan de Jesus, Alessandro, and Jose Alfredo enrich the dining experience with their deep knowledge of the menu, ensuring every guest feels welcomed and well-informed. Their recommendations make exploring unfamiliar dishes easy and enjoyable.
