"This beloved daytime taco spot in the East End has been a neighborhood favorite since 1977 due to their fluffy, fresh, and buttery handmade flour tortillas. Other than a brief pandemic hiatus, Villa Arcos has continuously supplied a never-ending line of construction workers, East End regulars, and politicians with egg-stuffed breakfast tacos (a.k.a.“Supers”), plates of machacado and eggs, and bowls of menudo.
