“ Great service, a long time wait but worth the wait for delicious foods. Security guard service is welcoming so I feel safe even being a professional security myself I feel safe seeing other guards when I go to different restaurants. But good food and good service. ”
“ Delicious! We got this to go the other night, so I'm not sure how the dine in service is. I had the carnitas quesadilla, it was huge and delicious! Couldn't finish it, but it was perfect the next days for breakfast too! My husband had a burrito and was very pleased. Classic rice and beans, all was yummy and fresh. ”
“ Service was good. Wait was long time to take to go. I was really surprised to find horchata drink there :) I liked the food! Hidden gem. ”
“ My standard when it comes to mexican food. I've frequented this place many times and have gone to the other satelite franchises (Lake Street, Midtown, white bear) and though they are all good, nothing beats the Arcade location. I've had multiple entrees at Los Ocampos so i will delve into a different kind of review. They flat top grill the meats adding a caramalization to the dishes. I believe they have the best Pastor in the Twin Cities. It has that deep red color on the outside, but also has the crispy, somewhat burned, texture from the flat top. It's savory and sweet and when added to any dish, takes the taste over the top. The salsa avocado, is also, in my opinion, the best in the twin cities. I haven't been able to find anything like it in the twin cities. I've been to Taco Riendo, Los Paisanos, and other taco places in the twin cities and none of them have been able to match the sauce (though, they are good in their own right). The sauce is a thick spicy, creamy, sweet, and thick piece of heaven. It hits your tongue and you get that savory taste with the creamy texture and right after the spiciness kicks in and takes your taste buds on a journey. This place sets the bar for Mexican food for me and sadly because I've had a taste of Los Ocampos, a lot of other places don't measure up to my standards. ”
