The Scene – A worn bar dominates the dining room of this dressed-down Lafayette Square restaurant, whose walls are hung with predictable Mexican kitsch. The sounds of a mariachi band peal through the speakers, and the smell of tortillas, garlicky chorizo and chili-spiked salsa wafts through the kitchen's swinging doors. Arcelia's servers are fast and friendly. – – The Food – Try the nopales salad: fleshy slices of prickly pear cactus paddles tossed with diced tomatoes, onions and a drizzle of lemon juice.

NOT authentic mexican!
by buttaflyy
Arcelia's was recommended by a co-worker many times over the past 2 yrs. I went last night with my duaghter. The food is not authentic mexican. It tasted as if it was out of the can and/or box. The fruit in the fluata with strawberry tasted like strawberry perserves. The chips were dark and over cooked. I was charged $3.25 for a side of refried beans which again tasted straight out of a can.
I really wasn't sure who my waitress was b/c I ordered drinks from one, food from another and my check delivered and processed by yet another.
- Cons: not authenic mexcian food

Family owned and best mexican i've had.

There are a lot of mexican places St.Louis . But none I have been to measure up to this comfortable little place . Combos are great , chile poblanos are mild mexican cheese stuffed peppers , best with beef of course . There are so many . Ask your server for help. The food , service and everything seems to be much better at night . Quesofundito appetizer , Soppapia dessert . Margaritas , they're the best around .
Want good mexican ? Arcelias is the place . Don't forget to ask your server what is good . They make their own chips too ! Hot for every table ! Enjoy
- Pros: Family Owned/Operated, Fresh Homemade Chips, Fantastic Margaritas
- Cons: Better at Night
