Arandas Taqueria does not disappoint! After living in Lubbock for five years, I finally found a…read morerestaurant that reminds me of home. I love good interior Mexican food, and this place hits the spot! When I walk into a Mexican restaurant and the menus are in Spanish or I see lots of workers dining there, I know I'm in for a great culinary experience. Locals tell me this location used to be the OG Whataburger, which probably makes me love it even more. IYKY how I feel about Whataburger. This restaurant is always busy busy, but I've never had an issue getting a table or booth quickly. It's a seat-yourself kind of place, so find a spot and get ready to eat! PROS Good prices! You don't have to break the bank to enjoy a good meal. Friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Fast service! The food comes out quickly, hot and ready to eat. Excellent coffee! Cold beer! It feels like home. Sometimes, you find a restaurant that just feels right, and this is one of those places for me. CONS The pico de gallo never has enough jalapeños for my taste. Come on, y'all! Give me some heat! The bathrooms are tiny and... well, let's just say they could use some improvement! If you love interior Mexican food, good prices, friendly service, and a laid-back atmosphere, give Arandas Taqueria a try. Arandas Taqueria is definitely one of my favorite finds since moving to Lubbock!

When you order wollof with chicken, you don't just get a few slices of chicken. You get an entire half chicken on the bone. If you're on the fence about African flavors, know that wollof is not too different than Spanish rice, and the wings have familiar spices like chili, garlic, and ginger.

The server was attentive and helpful...and also very quiet like a ninja. The place was clean and I could imagine how it looks packed with people because it's a pretty large space.

La Cabana may be the best traditional Tex-Mex restaurant in Lubbock, and there's plenty of…read morecompetition. The core of Tex-Mex is tacos and enchiladas and maybe chiles rellenos. I haven't tried the CRs, but their basic crispy beef tacos are perfect, their enchiladas are also very good, and their charro beans are terrific. The atmosphere is very pleasant--it's always nice to hear Tejano music instead of mainstream popular crap--the service is competent, and the price simply cannot be beat. In short, if you're in Lubbock and looking for straight-down-the-pipe, authentic, old-school Tex-Mex, you can't do any better than La Cabana.

We were immediately greeted as we walked in and taken to our table. We ordered the full experience and were very impressed with the beef options and salad bar. I especially enjoyed the lox and apple salad. Upon use of our flip card, we were promptly served a series of meats. There was no wait at all. One our servers, Katie, shared that she works there now as she came as a patron and was so impressed with how well the service ran that she knew she wanted to work there. We observed that as well. Everyone knew their jobs, everyone was incredibly aware of patrons, and they anticipated your needs before you had to ask for anything. At one point while we were away from our table, our server reset/cleaned up our table! One server used a crumber to clean our table later in our lunch. The restaurant is large, a bit dark, but well laid out. We were thanked for our visit and even asked if there was a special occasion we were celebrating. If I had one suggestion, it would be, change from bottled ranch to homemade ranch. Everything is so delicious that it was almost as if everything stopped in time when I tasted the ranch. Homemade ranch is so easy to make and it tastes so much better! Other than that, there is not one other thing I would change. This is truly a special place to celebrate any special moment.

Come hungry because they definitely won't leave you unsatisfied with the amount of food served. The service was good overall. Our dedicated server Matheus seemed very anxious to get the service started by asking how long it would be for the rest of our party to arrive and trying to shift members of the party down as to not leave any gaps between people and remove the extra place settings. Towards the end of service it also felt as if he was in a hurry to clear the plates and several of us that were still enjoying our meal and had to point that out.
