Food was Great. But, service was horrible?. I’m giving full rating because of the food.

Food was amazing but when i went to go pay my bill. They were very adamant about me ordering something i didn't. I told the server i didn't and reminded him why i didn't order it. At the end he still charged me and stated that it was the same price. I just called because i knew it was not. I usually don't write reviews. This was very unprofessional for a server to treat a customer as if they were wrong and clearly i was not.

HUGE proportions of absolutely delicious food! The staff was very friendly and attentive. What a perfect way to round off my birthday weekend! Definitely adding this to my list of favorite places to eat.

Ordered takeout from Arriero and we were able to pick up in a decent amount of time, about 30 minutes. We ordered the Fajitas for Two - which came with 2 pans of rice, guacamole, lettuce, pick de gallo and sour cream. The portion sizes were huge, which is a plus.However, what we ordered was not as described and I thought it was kind of sloppy looking. The fajitas were described as having a combination of chicken, beef, shrimp and chorizo. What we got was chicken and beef, with the chorizo and shrimp missing. Also, the entire mixture was a mess with queso coating every bite. It definitely wasn't in the description that it would be covered in queso. Another thing is that it had a layer of tortilla chips on the bottom of the fajitas which was odd for fajitas and made it hard to actually get the fajita part out because it was sticking to chips and queso. It really ruined my dinner and it was an annoying experience.

Really good Tex-Mex food, good service, pleasant atmosphere.

I visited this place a couple of times their food is good but the last time I came here to eat I found a piece of metal in my food. It took 5-10 minutes for someone to ask me if I wanted my food to be remade or have it discounted on the bill. So I don’t think I’ll be visiting place anymore.

Great as always. Friendly staff. Super tasty food with perfect portions. We got the Fajitas for 2 which had a wonderful plethora of different meats and vegetables. Wonderful flavor in every bite.

What a pleasant surprise El Arriero's turned out to be. I'm so glad we took a chance on trying a new Mexican restaurant. We both ordered the burrito and I couldn't believe how quickly it was served. And, WOW, did it taste fantastic. We also both enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. Yummy!!The parking was great, the service was quick, the staff were friendly, and the food was excellent. We will definitely be back!

This place was good, a solid choice for Latin American food. They do the basics very well and nothing tasted bad. Their service was pretty good as well, but the highlight of the meal were the churros. Also note of you ask for hot sauce it is recently spicy and homemade, I personally loved it but it was super hot. Great new spot, we'll be back.

Had to wait awhile for my meal. It was good, but it has changed more to a Tex-Mex food flavor. Their food years ago was more flavorful. My opinion of a trueAuthentic Mexican dish consists of mouth watering flavors of fresh cut vegetables, spices, roasted tomatoes and peppers to bring out the earthy flavors that burst in your mouth in every bite!
