Great food in a beautiful 400yr old Colonial house!

Great meal, so much flavor.

Incredible restaurant!! The vegetarian enchiladas are so hearty and filled with vegetables you don’t often see around taxco restaurants. Can be made vegan if you just ask for no cream and cheese! Try it with the mole sauce if you want a rich Mexican flavour. The fresh juices are also delicious and huge. The service staff is always so friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has a beautiful courtyard with a jacaranda tree growing within it. Extra beautiful when the flowers are in season. The hotel it’s within also supports/feeds street dogs! Great people!

We got lucky staying at Los Arcos because the restaurant has the best food in the city. Went to plenty other spots but found myself thinking of how Sotavento was better. Cheap and great food. Don't tweak y'all

We just love Taxco and Sotavento’s food is so underrated...if I could make advertisements for them I am sure the reviews would all be 5 stars. See you next year

A beautiful place in the courtyard of Hotel Los Arcos with great service and tasty food. Huevos rancheros, quesadillas especiales and pollo a la mostasa - some of my favourites.
