Arlene's Beans - MONUMENT

Our family eats here (usually take out) weekly...sometimes more, especially for special occasions.Friendly staff and tasty and generous portions at a reasonable price.

If you're searching for Americanized Mexican (Tex Mex) food, this is not your place. However, if you're searching for REAL authentic New Mexican style food THIS IS YOUR PLACE!The fresh Mean Arlene Margaritas (no pre made mixer junk) are to die for!The food? Ah Mazing! The Chimichangas, Taquitos, Tamales, Burritos, and my favorite, the steak street tacos are freshly made with love. Oh, let's not forget the delicious Queso Blanco and Chips and the breakfast items! Arlene has fun with adding special items to the menu such as Pozole, Chicken Wings, and (one of our favorites) Irish Nachos!On top of her love for making fresh, homemade food... Arlene and Bobby love their community by hosting countless give back nights for our local schools, Police, scholarship programs, Rotary club, and our very own Tri Lakes Cares! Additionally, if they catch wind of a family in need they reach out and help.Ah mazing food, loving hearts, and fellowship. Not much more you can ask for from a small business owner who started their business out of their home years ago!

Yummy bean and cheese burritos. This was my first visit to Arlene's Beans. I plan to return!

Absolutely love going to Arlene's Beans. Everything we've tried there is great especially the green chili and tamales. Of course you can't go wrong with a Mean Arlene. : We also like that there are several vegan options for some of our family members when they come visit.

Hands down the best Mexican food around!!! Absolutely tasty. Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere! Everyone was really kind and good came out quick!!
