" I had high expectations based on the reviews, and Arlene's Beans did not disappoint. The tacos were packed with flavor and the carne asada was grilled to perfection. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. I especially loved the homemade salsa that added a delightful kick to my meal. I’ll definitely recommend this place to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my meal here! The steak tacos were very flavorful, and the salsa, made fresh, was delightful. The atmosphere was inviting, perfect for a casual dinner. The portion sizes are perfect for sharing or a good solo meal, too. I’ll definitely be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a Texan who's familiar with good Mexican food, I had to try Arlene's Beans. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff was super friendly. Unfortunately, I felt the food was more on the Americanized side than I expected. The flavors were decent, but not as authentic as I hoped. Great for a quick meal, but probably wouldn't be my first choice for crave-worthy Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted something authentic and heard good things about Arlene's Beans. The tamales were fantastic, the flavors were robust, and the atmosphere was lively. A great place for families! However, I found the service a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, a decent experience that could be improved with better staffing during busy times. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. I ordered the steak tacos, which were tasty but a bit on the salty side. Still, the service was exceptional and the staff made a great effort to ensure I was satisfied. I could see this place becoming a regular stop for me in Monument! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Arlene's Beans for the first time and was impressed with the quality of the food. I ordered a smothered burrito and it was marvelous with rich flavors. However, the service was somewhat slow, which was not ideal. Despite that, the experience was enjoyable overall and I would consider returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a different experience compared to the hype surrounding this place. While the tacos were decent, I found them a bit bland and the portion sizes not worth the price. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean, but the food quality didn’t impress me as much as I hoped based on previous reviews. " (*Curated Review*)
