Mexican food done right! Fast, easy and delicious - what more can you want from a place? We stopped in after a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway and quickly the waiter brought us fresh waters, salsa and took our orders. We ordered steak fajitas and they were really good and came out super fast! We also noticed they had family photos all over the restaurant which made it feel more homey. Great little family ran business. read more

Fun and lively! Classic Tex Mex available but the Guillermo special is my favorite. This shrimp and zucchini dish is seasoned just right. Bonus-They are opened on Mondays. read more

The food is not authentic, But it is good, New place they are at is more like it, instead of being in a shopping center. The employees are always very nice, Service is always great and employees are very friendly. Fast service, Restaurant is very roomy, your not on top of other customers. Mixed drinks are pretty good. read more

Simple family atmosphere with great service, delicious food and reasonable prices. Salsa and chips were better than most, flavorful and so was the entrées. We had cheese enchiladas, beef enchiladas, and a fajita burrito. read more

We recently rented a house in Sparta NC thru Vrbo. Naturally, part of my planning for this trip, involved a deep dive into the locally owned restaurants because our traveling rule is NO CHAINS! So here's a side note about locally owned restaurants:: I used to think that if a restaurant didn't have a website, they weren't serious about it. I've since learned that I'm an idiot. Most of the places only had a FB page with pictures of the menu. I decided that maybe no website means they are so busy serving great food, they don't have time to create and manage a website. I'd rather have great food! I had read that Mis Arados is family owned and is one of the top rated Mexican restaurants in NC. We can vouch for that claim! On our way to the cabin we called in an order for pick up. We got 2 jumbo ground beef burritos, and added cheese sauce because if it's not swimming in cheese, is it even Mexican food? We reheated when the time came and we were blown away. They actually seasoned the ground beef and it made a huge difference! They included a bag of tortilla chips and really fresh salsa. I'm sorry there's no pictures of the burritos but trust me when I say we wolfed them down. Every. Single. Morsel. These were only $7.50 each + $2.99 for cheese dip. We picked up from them again and tried two of their specialty items. Hubs got the Sparta Special and I got the Jaliciense Especial. I wrote this down phonetically (holly-see-N-say) after I made Siri speak it. Hopefully Siri didn't make a fool of me because she can be a little b*#&@y. Anyway, we ate on these meals twice each because each dish felt like it weighed 5 lbs. I do have pictures of these. I'm telling you, I love Mexican food around the Triad but this food was next level. The SS had steak, chicken breast, topped with chorizo, onion and Chile toreado, served with soft tortillas, rice and beans. The JE had chicken, shrimp, onions, mushrooms and chorizo, served with soft tortillas, rice and beans. We will definitely go there again, the staff was very gracious and appreciated our return. read more

Fresh chips, cheese dip and ice cold pitchers can't be beat. The Don Guillermo Special is delicious- a generous helping of grilled shrimp paired with grilled veggies and rice covered in a yummy garlic sauce. There is sometimes a bit of a wait as the restaurant space is small but the food is consistently good. This is one of our weeknight faves. read more

Not great.... A group of 12 of us came here for dinner the other night and I was disappointed. It took forever to even get drinks and even longer for our food - which I understand it being a weekend. But when my cheese dip came out it was ice cold. We sent it back and they popped it in the microwave instead of giving me a new one. The meat from the tacos were so greasy that three of my cousins didn't eat their food and didn't have to pay. Also, my cousin got a tamale and it came out frozen. They sent it back, put it in the microwave (and we knew bc the salsa was all dried up on the side when they brought it back) and told her "sorry we don't have anymore". It was just an unexpected experience and I will mostly likely not be going back. read more

All the food we ordered was beyond burnt - brought out another order of shrimp fajitas for my husband and they also were over cooked and had a burnt taste- appeared that the grill top they were cooking on hadn't been cleaned in forever or was cooking on a searing high heat but whatever - horrible read more

The restaurant appeared clean with a beautiful Mexican decor. The restaurant had a lot of diners, which is usually a good sign. The service was excellent, and we didn't wait long at all to get our food. My plate was filled with grease, and I was unable to eat it. My husband let them know that I wasn't able to eat the food, and they were gracious enough not to make me pay. I was not trying to get a free meal and was disappointed that I couldn't eat it. Would I go back? That would be a NO for me. read more

Good food , good service... but not true Mexican to me... being from California it's nice to have a Mexican restaurant here... but definitely not California Mexican read more

Consistently good food from local owners. Comfortable atmosphere. Center of town. Great for to-go orders, too!

I don't usually don't like Mexican food,but the freshness of whatever you get here,makes it wonderful. I recommend it!

We are always pleased when we eat here. I never think to take a photo to share, it is too good to wait! The service is excellent as it is their family members. A wonderful local family owned restaurant. read more

As always, their food is awesome. The salsa is made fresh daily and is some of the best I've ever had.

We were pleasantly surprised at this place! After stopping at another Mexican place close by which we walked out of, this place turned out to be a great find!! On a Sunday afternoon it was packed so we had a brief wait to be seated. The host was friendly and up front that they were busy and short staffed but would get to us as quickly as possible. We got our chips as soon as we sat down and shortly later the waiter was able to get our orders. My friend had the fish tacos and I had chicken fajitas. Delicious on both counts!!! The service was great and all the staff were friendly. Definitely a place to stop, especially after a good hike! read more

For the first time in a while, my steak and shrimp fajitas were delicious! All of our meals were fully cooked and had great flavor. Would recommend if your in the area 9/10. read more

This was awesome! We are from Florida. With many choices. This place blows them all away! Very fresh and wonderfully tasteful. We will be back! read more

The foods were excellent. My husband had the pork carnitas and I got the carne asada. They were well seasoned. The chips and salsa were fresh and a plus while we were waiting for our order. Will definitely include this restaurant to our faves. read more

We love this restaurant, it's a our families fave, the service is always good, the food it's delicious.

I ordered carnitas and it was awesome- tender and crispy on the edges. The toddler had ACP and loved it. The new décor is brighter and more welcoming. It's a great little place for this small town. The servers can be inconsistent sometimes, otherwise I might add another star... read more

Excellent food! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the service was extremely slow (overheard the waiter saying he was the only one there). We're from out of town and I always rely on Yelp. The food definitely didn't disappoint. I had a combo that included a taco, enchilada, rice and beans--all super yummy...and the salsa was delicious and fresh! I'd definitely visit again. read more

With a multitude of choices for Mexican food in the Sparta, NC area, your best choice is Mis Arados. I LOVE this place, the service is always good, both the chips and the salsa taste like they are home made, and the fajitas are super yummy! We also like the nacho fajitas, but rarely get them because the fajitas themselves are so good. The only negative about this place is that they don't serve margarita's! read more

Very good Mexican. The wife and I got the house special that's not on the menu. Was a perfect choice. Young waitress told us they only made this for the special customers. It was great. read more

I went with a group of seven people at 4:30. We were one of three tables. The food is good, though I'm not sure I've had bad Mexican food. The service was also good at the time we went and the atmosphere is good. read more

Seated right away. Drink order was quick and when he came back took my order. Had a burrito with rice. Just a bit of spicy. Rice was very good. Burrito could have had a bit more chicken. Refilled my drink twice. Prices are low. Service was fine. read more

We live in jacksonville fl and came up here to visit family and this is the best Mexican food we have ever eaten! There was flavor in the food and so much of it. The decor was great and the service was top notch. The best part was the prices were super cheap. We got the Special Dinner for 2 and the total bill ended up $15 and some change before tip. read more

Better than most! The service was excellent - very attentive with offers to refill the FRESH AND DELICIOUS chips (unlike other reviews here). Great salsa - nice and spicy. Warning for vegetarians - they have a vegetarian menu, but I am pretty sure their beans are refried in pork fat or some other non-vegetarian fat (you might want to ask about this). Great prices and very happy with the meal. read more

My wife and I had dinner here last night. Casual Mexican. Great meal. We eat here often and are never disappointed.

Pleanty of restaurants to pick from in Sparta but Mis Arados is the best resturant by far. Salsa is always great, and I love the cheese dip, anything you get is good from here, food is great, and service. They are the busiest on Fridays, and Saturdays usually no wait at all which is wonderful. read more

The food was really good! They even comped me a bowl of cilantro when I asked for it. Honestly it took quite a bit longer to have my order taken than I expected, and the food took its sweet time too. If it weren't for that I'd give it five stars. read more

I love this place! The food is really good. I see more and more restaurants where you have to go to the back(front) to pay for the food. I'm one that don't like to be walked by alot while I'm eating and don't really like to walk by others thinking that they may think the same way, but other than that, it's perfect. read more

LOVE this place! The food is consistently good! They have the best fajitas and my hubby always gets the dish with the rice, cheese, chicken and shrimp. Always great service too! read more
