    Coconut Pineapple Margarita
    Justin W.

    I'm officially hooked on Arandas in downtown Healdsburg! The Coconut Mango Margarita tastes like a mini tropical getaway: creamy coconut meets tangy mango, with just enough tequila to put a happy smile on your face without any wobble. The Prickly Pear Margarita follows up with a subtly sweet, cactus-fruit twist that's impossible to resist during happy hour. If you love nachos, order the Chicken Tinga Nachos. The chips arrive perfectly crisp and seasoned, smothered in nacho cheese and shredded cheese, then topped with tender, smoky chicken tinga that practically melts in your mouth. It's the ultimate shareable starter, though you may catch yourself guarding your half of the plate. The vibe at Arandas feels lively without ever being too loud. Happy hour margarita prices are absurdly good, so you'll have plenty of extra change to wander the charming streets of Healdsburg afterward. Trust me--you'll be planning your next visit before you even finish your first round. This spot earns a permanent place on my must-visit list.

    Chicken Tacos and Squash Tacos (vegetarian) - build your own!

    Arandas recently replaced our beloved Chalkboard, the restaurant attached to Hotel Les Mars. We were sad to see Chalkboard go, but excited to have a new option to try. They updated the space with some dark dramatic wallpaper, new seating, and new chandeliers. Very pretty! The menu offers a few starters, 3 seafood appetizers, 3 salads, 3 taco options, and 3 mains. We shared the guacamole for $16. It was beautifully presented with edible flowers on top. It was a more pureed consistency than I'm used to - I prefer a little more texture to my guac. But it came with fresh, thin, salty chips, which we loved. I had the CALABACITAS (summer squash tacos) and my guy had the POLLO (achiote grilled chicken tacos). The tacos come deconstructed, build-your-own style. The portions didn't look huge but proved to be quite filling. We really enjoyed the flavors of both the squash and chicken, and the homemade tortillas. I would order both of these options again. To drink we tried the classic margarita - really fresh and not overly sweet, one of the better margaritas we've had recently - and a non-alcoholic cocktail. Thumbs up to both! I hear that that Arandas Happy Hour is worth a visit, so I'll try that next.

    Guacamole, fried zucchini and watermelon margs (forgot the drink name, but top of the drink list)

    We love to frequent this location. It's become a favorite spot of my husband and myself since opening up. Dare I say,m they have THE best happy hour we've yet to encounter here in Sonoma county. Love the decor/ bar setting and the private back patio is also a great spot to grab dinner and drinks! They rolled out a new menu which we tried this weekend and those watermelon style margaritas? DIVINE. Always have encountered kind bartenders and staff here too. Also, the guacamole is a no brainer for your starting order. Everything always tastes incredibly fresh!

    Ambiance was really nice and great outdoor space. Food was very tasty and we especially liked the appetizers (guacamole, corn, ceviche). It was one of the few nice restaurants that could accommodate a dog, two infants, and a large party, so we thought we got lucky finding this place on our 4th of July weekend vacation. The only downside was we came for my mother's birthday and were told we needed to pay a cake cutting fee if we brought our own cake, which was totally fine. I brought a cake that was nicely decorated with fresh flowers and a happy birthday message for my mom. It was $70 because it was a custom cake. Everything was going well throughout the meal except a hiccup with getting one of the orders wrong in our party (brought a chimichanga instead of what my brother's MIL wanted). No big deal. Then came a bad turn when the staff brought out my mother's birthday cake already cut! She never got to see the beautiful decorations and custom message because the staff made a mistake and cut the cake first (by the way I have been to a lot of restaurants for birthdays and have never seen this happen). It was a smaller mistake, but when I proceeded to ask what happened, they gaslighted me and claimed they didn't see a message on the cake and acted like they didn't do anything wrong. I was not happy with how they handled it and felt we shouldn't pay the cake cutting fee if the service was so bad for it. The waitress who came to give us a bill when I told her this gave me an incredibly snarky tone (you can tell she was already ready to be defensive) and said "oh we already waived the cake cutting fee. Why do you want something else? I'll get my manager" and when I said it was fine as long as the cake cutting fee was waived kept saying she would get her manager like 3 times very aggressively. The only saving grace was when the manager came, he was very professional. He apologized for what happened (which was all we wanted really) and handled everything swiftly. He did offer other compensation, other than waiving the cake cutting fee, but we said it was fine and the food was delicious. Last annoying thing was they still charged us for the mistaken chimichanga on our order and we had to fix it on the final bill. Good thing we read.

    Fresh and delicious food. Great service! We came for happy hour and were super impressed with the quality of food and drink. We will be back for dinner. Plus they are putting together live music on their patio. Check it out!

    Sunday late afternoon, my husband and I are staying with Les Mars of Healdsburg. 5:00 we decided to have a bite to eat at. Arandas down stairs from Hotel Les Mars. We were offered indoor or patio. Patio was lovely weather, so we chose out doors. My husband had oysters to begin (they happened to be on happy hour, (3 for $7.00) they were displayed beautifully over small pebble coastal stones. We had chips and guacamole...delish, along with a margarita for myself and a whiskey for my husband. We shared skirt steak tacos with a side of rice and beans. Delish. Unfortunately we were hoping to enjoy Tamales, however they were out from previous evening. For desert we were looking forward to empanadas for desert with vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit. they were out of empanadas.. With that we enjoyed our shared meal which was plenty for us. We then returned to our lovely room up stairs, which we have stayed many times in the past. Then walked our fur baby across the street to the park. Service was great, we were the only people on a Sunday afternoon. Ambiance was nice and quiet with a lovely temperature outdoors.

    Quesadilla
    Kellie B.

    Such a great happy hour! The bartender (I think her name was Reina) was great and very attentive. Her drinks were also great. Loved the food (we got happy hour items - tartare and the quesadilla) and both were very good. Can't wait to come back here!

    Ceviche
    Fefe A.

    Arandas is a new restaurant in the heart of downtown Healdsburg. Their restaurant is inside a hotel but has its own entrance. The vibe is a casual nice . And parking is easy as there is a large public parking lot right across the street ( walking distance). I liked their menu - the ceviche was really good as well as the guacamole. I orders the halibut which was cooked perfectly! There is a chicken or veggie taco on the menu but not a meat taco. We wanted dessert but were disappointed to see Italian desserts on the menu instead of Mexican desserts . I recommend churros be added to the menu . Our service was excellent ! All in all I would come back here even if they don't have churros on the menu !

    Guacamole, chicharrones, chips and salsas
    Rachelle C.

    This is the best happy hour in Healdsburg for quality high end Mexican tapas and delicious margaritas that are made with a local tequila. Try the papas (roasted potatoes) with cavier, the pollo tacos, and guacamole mas (with chicharrones) and the amazing scallop ceviche. It's all fantastic! There's an outdoor deck in back. It's in Hotel Mars next to Little Saint. Our new fav place.

    Heirloom tomato salad
    Ardath W.

    Delightful modern Mexican cuisine in a cosy but elegant space. We dined on the patio and felt like we were abroad. The service is attentive and friendly. The food is absolutely delicious with creative pairings of flavors. This is not the familiar Tex-Mex cooking; it is more upscale and has a sophisticated continental vibe. Even the guacamole is gourmet.

Then it was on to the entrees, I had chosen cassoulet, a favorite of mine and it arrived hot and aromatic with a nice hunk of sausage and a confit duck leg. The portion was generous and the beans were creamy and flavorful, my only complaint would be that they were a little heavy handed with the salt. My wife went with the trout which arrived with beautiful asparagus and a tasty sauce but alas it was a little undercooked. They replaced it with a perfectly cooked piece and she was very happy. We both loved the crispy skin on the trout. Finally we both went with the Mille feuille for dessert and it was a wonder, light crispy pastry with lemony custard and cream. Overall good experience, we will likely return.

The exceptional food, gracious hospitality, and genuine care made our anniversary celebration truly extraordinary. Even now, I find myself speaking about this experience to anyone willing to listen.
