I first heard about Aranda's after my husband came home raving about this Mexican restaurant…read morebringing me home a to go order of their rib eye and shrimp after a friend recommended this place to him. The ribeye was mouthwateringly delicious, perfectly cooked, juicy, well seasoned, and full of flavor! The grilled shrimp had the most incredible seasoning and grilled to perfection! My husband kept on talking about Aranda's nonstop so we went and dined in person at Aranda's in Deforest, WI! When we first walked in, I loved the bright colored festive walls, showcasing beautiful Mexican art/heritage and a mini festive bar with my favorite: a great tequila selection for all the tequila fans!!! The place was super packed for a weeknight/Wednesday evening! We were greeted with delicious complimentary tortilla chips and salsa which started our night off right! Aranda's has a large Tex Mex menu with a variety of authentic traditional Mexican menu items as well as a few more Americanized take on popular Mexican dishes! They offer many delicious menu items everything from nachos, street tacos, fajitas, chimichangas, ribeye steaks, hamburgers, seafood options, a kid's menu, and much more! Plus, they even have churros and fried ice cream if you have a sweet tooth! Aranda's has the best margaritas when you are a craving a delicious drink! They even have a great selection of top shelf superior tequila. Be aware the margaritas are pretty huge and the large size is actually humongous! I really enjoyed my spicy jalepeno maragita! My husband ordered the ribeye steak and shrimp that comes with a side of delicious cheese sauce and fries while I ordered the Aranda's special which is the ribeye with shrimp, topped with an onion blossom, grilled shrimp, and pico de gallo. My husband and I had so much fun dining at Aranda's. Everything we ordered was very delicious! We also received great service! Aranda's is a great place to visit if you are looking for satisfying margaritas, delicious Mexican food, fun/festive vibes, in a casual dining setting that is a fun place to dine with friends, family, and even fun for the kids! Aranda's is definitely worth trying!

Okay, we love the restaurant overall but the last two visits were disappointing. The food is great…read morebut the service is not so good. Today was just like this.... Seated and chips and salsa came out immediately. Waters then ordered. Food comes out pretty quick. Then you never see the waiter again. Unable to request a soda refill. Today, like last time, after we were done eating I had to walk in, from the outside eating area, to get some to go cartons and request the check. I registered a concern and got a smile with a sorry. Yes I'm going to give it another try.

I also ordered the steak asada taco and it too did not disappoint. I do think however the sweet potato taco was the best.

Our waiter made a couple of errors but quickly corrected and provided excellent service in a busy restaurant. Yum! Sorry I did not take photos because the food was demolished.

The tacos were solid too, and the duck taco special was a unique surprise in the best way.

Worst sope of my life and they charge $12 for a burrito with beans rice lettuce tomatoes that has like a tablespoon of beans and the size of a small frozen burrito at target. I don't know what the deal is when I specifically asked if they put a lot of beans and they said they put a lot. I took a pic, it's insane. Also any Mexican restaurant that uses flour tortillas for their tacos is just trying to cater to non Mexicans and charge higher prices, that's not real Mexican food, sorry , only place authentic so far for burritos is La Bamba, go there for legit Mexican food that doesn't try to hustle non Mexicans, and they're probably laughing at the dumbness of people paying money for their gross "Mexican" food

I had the best time at Gloias with friends! There was a slight wait, but it was totally worth it…read moreonce that food hit the table. I ordered the Chimichanga plate--deep-fried flour tortilla stuffed with your choice of meat and cheese, smothered in cheese sauce, and served with rice, beans, lettuce, sour cream, and guac. My only complaint? I wish it included two chimichangas because it was just that good. To drink, I went big with the 24-oz Don Julio Ultimate Margarita--strong, smooth, and a one-and-done kind of drink. Bonus: it came with a free Gloria's T-shirt! Yes, free merch with your marg! And get this: my whole meal was just $12.50 thanks to their Monday Chimichanga Deal. A steal for such a satisfying meal.

Anyway, overall very nice people and staff. The food, I have to say, was fine. I think the complementary chips and salsa were fine. The crispy taco was also ok. I didn't care for the enchiladas as the cheese wasn't very melty and both green and red sauces could've used some depth to them. Portion sizes are pretty decent, and we had leftovers, but we were visiting from out of town, so we couldn't really take it with. Oh yeah, I'm still left with the million $ question - why do they have an Italian named Mexican place.

The place is surprisingly big and they were easily able to accommodate our group of five. I do want to point out that a few of their booths have quite a large step up which could be challenging for some individuals. Our server stopped by our table right away. He explained the dragonfly card can be used to get his attention when we put it up on our table. This worked great for us as we did gifts with my niece before ordering food. I enjoyed my sangria. We did a starter of guacamole and chips. The chips are large like tostadas. They recommend ordering 3-5 tacos as they are just a few bites. I thought all three of mine were delicious: carne asada, carnitas and pork belly. My sister in law really liked the fish taco and corn fritters. The only thing that was a bit odd to me was that the food came out as it was done. My mom and niece had already finished their food by the time my tacos came out.
