Arzolas Fajitas & Margaritas is a lively Tex-Mex restaurant and bar nestled in St. Louis’s McNair neighborhood, offering more than just a typical Mexican dining experience. The spot balances a full-service restaurant vibe with a casual, friendly atmosphere where groups, families, and colleagues can gather around flavorful, fresh dishes and share a few drinks.

The menu leans into classic and creative Tex-Mex staples with highlights like their signature fajitas, chicken nachos, and inventive starters such as jalapeno hush puppies alongside chips and salsa served two ways. Their cocktails stand out—especially the frozen prickly pear margarita and seasonal lemonades, making it a good pick for those who appreciate expertly crafted drinks alongside their meal.

Visitors will find the dining area cozy but thoughtfully laid out, fostering a quiet, unhurried environment even when the place fills up. The outdoor patio extends the space notably, especially in cooler months when heat lamps and provided blankets keep diners comfortable, making it a practical choice year-round if fresh air is preferred.

Service here is consistently noted for being warm and attentive without feeling overbearing, which fits well with the relaxed yet upbeat setting of the restaurant. It’s an ideal spot for dinner after work or a weekend outing with friends looking to enjoy lively conversation alongside solid food and drink.

One detail worth noting is that some dishes, like the steak fajitas, can come with additional charges for sides like fajita vegetables, so it pays to check the menu carefully. Still, the quality and thoughtful presentation, such as tacos served on proper holders, keep the experience feeling polished without being overly formal.

Arzolas works well as a destination for locals who want a dependable midweek dinner option or a weekend gathering place with good drinks and authentic flavors, complemented by a down-to-earth staff and a chill atmosphere. Whether you’re there to dive into a hearty burrito or sip a classic margarita, the setting supports easygoing socializing with a touch of festive flair.

Great service, friendly staff, the atmosphere is so fun, food is wonderful and the margaritas are delicious. Idk why anyone wouldn't give them 5*. We got to sit on the patio during the month of November. There's plenty of room, it's fully enclosed and we stayed warm with the heaters above going. They even leave a blanket at each of the tables if you need it but you really shouldn't. Got a kick out of the bathroom decor.

This place is great but had an issue with the steak fajitas. They were delicious but I had to add fajita vegetables for an upcharge. I didn't realize they had an additional cost until we got the bill. Not a huge deal but I've never had fajitas and had to buy the vegetables for an extra charge. It just seemed odd. Other than that everything was great including the cocktails and the service. Will return for sure.

Had a great time here. The food was stellar. The steak tacos and sweet potato burrito were so good we didn’t talk while eating. The chips were 5 star. Every item we ate was better than the last. Couldn’t ask for a friendlier server and the small dining area meant things were quiet and fast. We don’t come to St. Louis often, but now when we do we know where to have dinner again.

We had a very good experience here. The food was fresh and bright. The special watermelon margarita was delicious as were the empanadas that I think might have been a special. Tacos were very good with thoughtful toppings and served on proper taco holders!!!! They had a lovely outdoor space but we opted for the AC. We don't eat out so often anymore but I'd return here.

Visited with four adults, including two colleagues from South Korea who were in town for the SC2025 business trip. The restaurant was very crowded, but in a lively and enjoyable way. Service was excellent and the food was outstanding. Even our Korean guests loved the dishes. Highly recommend this place for great Mexican food and a fun atmosphere.

Note the 20% service fee for groups of 5+ people. No complimentary chips and salsa. Everything was tasty/well-seasoned and reasonably priced

Hands down the best Mexican food we have ever had — and Mexican is our go-to when we eat out. From the moment we walked in, the “hi and hello” welcome set the tone, and that same level of genuine, thoughtful service continued throughout the entire meal. The food was absolutely perfect. Truly no notes and no negatives to share. This place is doing everything right. We’re from Kansas City and would honestly make a special trip back just to eat here again. Exceptional experience from start to finish.

Great service, good for large groups. Our group of 10 sat outside on the back patio and it was very comfortable. The food was full of unique flavors. They have lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options. The sweet potato fajitas were perfectly cooked. Equal parts sweet and spicy.
