My son and I went last night for the first time. Got the free chips and salsa via yelp app. Chips and and salsa were both very fresh, salsa was a bit bland for me. The little man had the Cubano which was excellent. I had the bbq pork tacos. The pork in them is good and flavorful but the whole thing together just becomes a big pile of mush with with no texture at all. I appreciated the server who seemed genuinely interested in why I didn't eat much of it as he wanted to let the chef know. I like that Also, great beer list and very interesting cocktail menu.

My wife and I, along with another couple, went here on 4/18/15. My initial impression was the place was rather small. The other couple with us, who had been here several times before, assured us it would be amazing. We started with an appetizer of Yucca fries and assorted salsas. The yucca fries were amazing and a must have. The salsas were also fresh and exceptionally balanced between sweet and spicy. We ordered several martinis around the table. Between us all we had several Avacadotinis (very tasty), several La Rosa (I would recommend as a desert drink, very sweet), a Caramel Appletini and a Cranbiscus. All of them were expertly mixed and very good. For the main course I had the Shrimp and Grits and the other three had the Chimichurri Steak. My entree was superb. It was rich and creamy with a bit of spicy flavor from the andouille sausage and chorizo. The rest of the tables steaks were cooked to perfection and had a lovely presentation. Throughout the meal our waiter took the time to explain what each item was and the ingredients that went into it. He was knowledgeable on each menu item and drink we asked about. I especially appreciated the attentive service he provided. I know it can be hectic and their time is precious but I was very thankfully for his services. Overall I highly recommend this establishment. Great food, great drinks, friendly staff and all for the right price.

We just moved to the area and were so happy to have found our new favorite hang out spot!!! We went here for the first time on a Friday night and sat upstairs in the new rooftop deck area. We were thrilled that they had an acoustic guitarist there, even more thrilled that he was excellent! We ordered some drinks and some guacamole. I guess the owner thought we waited long for my wine so he gave us a free order of salsa for the wait; it was really nice and showed that he went out of his way to please us! The salsa was good and the guac was ok, I think it was little on the limey side for our liking. My husband ordered the Pollo Loco (chicken tacos) that he said were excellent. They came with wonton strips and he really liked the lime aioli! I ordered the Camarones Gordos, which was a shrimp and chorizo salad. This might be one of the best salads I have ever had. The serrano-lime vinaigrette was SO GOOD. From the first bite to the last I loved it. Instead of croutons my salad came with wonton strips which I thought was different but fit so well, it also came with bacon. I think I probably had 5-6 strips of the crispiest most delicious tasting bacon. Overall it was a fantastic meal. We really enjoyed the atmosphere; the string lights and music are a perfect setting. The owner came over and talked to us for a bit and explained how they were planning to have live music almost every weekend which was music to our ears! We love relaxing, having some drinks and listening to live music. We will definitely be back!! Great food, service, people and environment! We've been back a few times since our first visit and I just had to give an update! We went for brunch, oh man was it good! I had pancakes, extra crispy bacon and eggs..everything was soo good! The pancakes had a unique taste to them, much heavier than average but I really enjoyed them. The bacon was spot on! My husband ordered the shrimp and grits, we both agreed they were probably the best shrimp and grits that we've found so far down here! We also enjoyed the $10 bottomless mimosa special, you can't go wrong! We then returned on Thursday night which is also Ladies Night and $5 martini night! I enjoyed the avocado martini SO much! Wow, it was so different, I was scared at first but I ended up loving it! I ordered the chimichurri steak which was outstanding, I ordered extra chimichurri because it was that good! It also came with a corn in a cream sauce and potatoes cakes, overall fantastic meal. My husband ordered the shrimp tacos which he really enjoyed, along with the mango salsa, we can't wait to come back!

Excellent food! Had bbq tacos and fish tacos and both were great. They have many different salsas. My wife ordered a pineapple mojito and loved it. We could tell that all the ingredients, for both the food and drinks, were very fresh. Not much on the menu for kids, but they did happily make something special per our request for our 4 year old. All in all we were very happy to find this place with such a unique and delicious menu in Lexington. We look forward to going back again!
(5)Becky F.
Good food. Very unique. Disappointed in the lack of martini choices though. You would think a martini bar would have numerous choices for drinks. The martini's that they offered were standard. Nothing really different. Would be nice to see a much larger martini menu.

Traveling with only one night in Lexington area with help of Yelp we choose Arkos. Honestly this staff received us as if we were family returning, truly a "cheers" atmosphere. Bartender was a perfect 10, and later the owner came over to make sure we were satisfied, really, we loved this place so much we wanted to do our next meal there but it was time to head North. We will be back. Have another sign made, put outside to left of current sign so others do not miss, we almost did.

Went for brunch, although the food was good I was left wanting something more. The name states Cuban fusion but its more fusion then Cuban for sure. The drinks are well made, the price a little high for the amount of food you receive.

Unacceptably slow service. Shrimp appetizer was burnt. We were seated in the back next to a closed door, which I assumed was not in use during busy times because it was literally 6 inches from my chair, but it was used by all the waitstaff with outside tables, so I was constantly grazed by servers running in an out. A manager of sorts did apologize about the slowness, but only after the server had said "it'll be right out" several times. When the food finally came out, half of it was cold. Again they apologized, and we did get a discount, but I was totally turned off by this point. I had lukewarm fish tacos, which were meh.

Really amazing food and friendly staff. Will be back soon. Highly recommended. Everything tasted fresh and service was excellent.

We went to Arko,s for the second time last night. For the second time service was polite but painfully slow. The food arrived to the table Luke warm. I had ordered the chimichurri beef with crema corn. The steak was overdone with no evidence of a rich fresh chimichurri as expected. The corn was obviously frozen corn in an area with some of the finest in season corn around. It was a disappointment for me and my date,

Lexington has been suffering a lack of restaurants that actually serve good food outside of the usual SC comfort food crap. They have a nice menu influenced by Spanish and Latin cuisines without being generic Mexican food. Think ceviche, interesting guacamole, gourmet tacos, and other tapas-like food. The atmosphere is nice too. You can eat on the patio if the weather is habitable. It's one of the few places in Lexington that you can grab a drink and not feel out of place for forgetting to wear your Guy Harvey t-shirt.

Love the martinis here! You do not know what you are missing until you have tried the AVOCADOtini!

Drinks - fantastic! Food - fantastic! Atmosphere - meh... Interior design - nice try... Background music - meh... Avacadotini - 7.50 Pescado Taco - 9.00 Camarones Diablo Taco - 10.00 Water - free The food is amazing but the restaurant as a whole is confusing. They can't seem to make up their minds as to who they are. Are they a high-end Mexican restaurant? (Then maybe they could get some great interior design and ambiance ideas from Salud Mexican Restaurant in the Ten Eleven Galleria in Camden SC). Or are they just a dark, small, uncomfortable bar serving great Mexican food and playing loud american pop music. Also, I was surprised that they had no dessert. It just doesn't make any sense to not have at least one home-run dessert that is as authentic and creative as the rest of your menu.

Excellent food, excellent drinks, excellent service and atmosphere. Best food we've had in South Carolina since we moved here two months ago.

I heard "so-so" reviews from friends about dinner, but had one good recommendation for brunch. Therefore I chose my first experience as brunch. I selected the only protein containing vegetarian option: stuffed french toast filled with Brie and mixed berries. To my disappointment, they didn't have sugar-free syrup so I had to eat it dry. The Brie and blueberry filling was okay, but it only had evidence of blueberries (not mixed as stated). The taste of the Brie didn't stand out either. The outside of the thick french toast was oily (not buttery which would be more becoming of french toast). I ended up only eating the filling because of this. If they would have coated the grill with butter for this entree, used a variety of berries per menu description (or maybe say seasonal - not mixed - berries?), had sugar free syrup or offered a fresh fruit puree, and gave me utensils for my to-go order, this entree COULD have been good. I did have friendly service, liked the uniqueness of a Brie stuffing, and I admired the trendy interior. So I am giving it 1 star for this one food item, but 3 stars in other categories.

I was in town for a few weeks on business. We ate here the most! Their tacos are amazing! At the time of posting this they had deals on tacos every Tuesday. Grab the chicken taco on Tuesday for $5, and the steak taco if it's not Tuesday. So good, and all of the staff were super friendly.
(5)Emma M.
Delicious! Went for the first time today, looking for somewhere new. Talk of brunch and mimosas were mentioned and we happened to see their brunch sign in passing. Bottomless mimosas for $10. Can't go wrong with that. The pineapple juice was splendid as well. What did we order? Shrimp n grits. And their mojo burrito. Both amazing. We would definitely come back again. Smaller intimate dining room with outside seating as well. Definitely worth the stop on a Sunday afternoon.

Last night I had a hankering for something that would excite my taste buds, and the run of the mill restaurants in Columbia just wouldn't cut it, so I ventured out to the brave new world of Lexington to give this place a shot. After seeing the rave reviews of the Avocadotini, I started with that and finished it in less than a minute (tipsy alert!!) The avocado gave it such a great texture, so it reminded me more of a smoothie than a martini, but oh so very delicious. It was Taco Tuesday, meaning several of their tacos were only $5, and I tried the Ahi Tuna ones. They give you the option of flour tortillas or wonton tortillas, so I went with the safe option, flour. They were lightly grilled on the outside and the sesame crusted tuna was cooked perfectly. The flavors in the taco worked really well together and I was wishing I had ordered more than 2, but the kitchen closed at 8:50, so that was somewhat earlier than I had expected for a weeknight, but that just means I'll have to come back soon. Honestly all the entrees and tacos looked amazing, so it was really hard to choose. I want to come back to explore the rest of their menu and hopefully check out their rooftop seating which seems to only be open on the weekends. The patio tables are nice and there was live music as well, so it made for a relaxing evening. The only disappointment was seeing ceviche listed on their website menu, but it was not on their actual menu. When I asked about it, I was told it was only available seasonally and that "drink" might be back in the fall, ha! It's so hard to find good (or any) ceviche in Columbia! I will be back, this place has a very unique menu and the taste does not disappoint.

If I could give 10 stars I would. The food was on point across the menu. We got the trio salsas for $11, tomatillo, mango, and the other one I cannot remember. Note: they cook the chips to order (only two bowls of chips). A dollar a bowl after that. Trust me the chips and salsas were off the chain. Taco Tues is worth going to. Two sizeable tacos for $5.00 and margaritas $5.00 same night.

I was a little more than skeptical of a Cuban restaurant in Lexington & I almost declined the invite...really glad I didn't, because this little place is kinda awesome. The service is great! The food is authentic & delicious...shocking for Lexington, right?! The manager or owner, I'm not sure which he was, came around to chat and discuss the food. As Hispanics we're pretty snobby when it comes to food, but the chef shut us right up with one bite... It was impressive. The drink menu is pretty eclectic and not overly ambitious, which is great. The drinks were well made and authentic as well. BRAVO!! Loved the area too. Cute little spot, tucked behind the Flight Deck. You'll be drawing crowds to Lexington for sure!! This place is well worth it. We really hope they add on desserts soon. Great job!!!

Kudos for Arkos making their restaurant have a nice, intimate feeling (not too big), and quick service after orders were placed. They do have rooftop seating as well (mainly for outdoor music performaces on Thursdays and Fridays - I think). Do have to admit, their focus might be more on thier martinis / bar service more than food, as there was not a big menu of food items to choose from, mainly appetizers or smaller dishes that could be shared among your party. Do like that there is a different specialty of food here (Cuban) that is close by to where I live, but even after looking at the menu, there were really only a couple of dishes I would have ordered since some of the other combinations of food I was not too overly thrilled about (and am currently on a very tight budget).

Everything here is delicious! The avocadotini and mango guacamole are great and so were our entrees! Even the live musician was impressive. It's a great place for a date night!
(5)Candy J.
This might be our new favorite!!! We go fairly regularly to Tonella's Bistro right beside Arkos and decided to try it out. We went just for a few cocktails and an appetizer, thinking if its any good we will come back for dinner. It was probably the best taco I've ever had, a great mix of bbq pork, pickled slaw, and homemade guac! Hubby got a mojito and gin in tonic, which he liked. I tried the Ginger Bliss first, which was refreshing. But the real prize of the night was one of their signature drinks - Some kind of Martini made with Alvacado. I know what your thinking...Alvacado? But its blended with orange and mango and its so smooth you could easily get in trouble drinking them. We will be back for dinner and as fast as we can get there. We were also told they serve brunch on Sunday's but its best to make reservations.
(5)Elisha B.
Great food (both dinner and brunch), great drinks, and great service. There's not many places in Lexington that have interesting menu selections like Arkos, but what really sets this place apart is the service; especially from the owner, who always makes it a point to talk to everyone. It's really the best customer service I've seen anywhere. The martinis are also equivalent to martinis to martinis you'd find at 4 and 4 star restaurants, like Oak Table (but without the 4 or 5 star prices). My favorites there are any of the fusion tacos, the avocadotini, the plantains, and anything on the brunch menu.
(5)Merry D.
Very happily surprised to find this gem in Lexington! Great cocktails, try the Avocadotini. Don't worry, you can't taste the avocado, but it gives it nice texture. We tried the jerk quesadilla, spices were very good. Ahi tuna tacos were very good, but the wonton "taco" shells were a little odd. The Cuban sandwich is VERY good. Great bread, yummy ham. The mofongo was yummy but I felt it needed either more or larger shrimp and some rice to help cut the richness of the sauce and plantains. Caipirinha(Brazilian cocktails) were excellent. The space is small, little dark, odd layout. Not enough seating. But the staff was great. We will definitely be back.
(4)Jim M.
This has become our regular hangout. The staff is super friendly and the food and drinks are excellent.
(5)Courtney G.
Great drinks but unless you like seafood or really spicy food, you're out of luck for dinner. I'd go there for a drink but wouldn't stay for the food. If the menu was a little more diverse I'd stick around. The drinks are still good though!
