So many times in college, I would stop by Jimenez mid-day for my fix of their Three Amigos plate: Asado de Puerco, Carne Guisada, & Picadillo. Served with a fair helping of chips and salsa, it was a perfect lunch. Their tacos made them one of the best spots in Lubbock. Their placement in the Top 50 Taco Joints in Texas by Texas Monthly is well deserved. On Saturday, the game changes as they serve a Texas Monthly recognized barbecue. Their brisket is delectable, their sausage has a perfect kick, and all their sides are delightful. One of their delights is the La Tia. A barbecue sandwich except it's served on a house-made concha. Holy smokes. It's sugary and if served with brisket, is a glorious creation. I was driving through Lubbock and had to make a stop when I found out they were serving barbecue on a Friday. I got their Brisket Specialty Taco: two corn tacos with beans, shredded cheese, fried egg, and, of course, brisket. In addition, because my greed has no bounds, I got their Philthy Taco: 2 corn tacos, fried egg, potatoes, salsa ranchero, queso, and their smoked barbacoa. I called ahead and ordered before they closed at 2 pm and picked them up right at 1:57 pm (praise the lord). I mowed down both of them. For two tacos, they are most filling. I would've been full off of one. I am still wowed by what they can whip up. It's to-go only as Jimenez runs a small little shop on 34th Street, but they pack it with a ton of love and might. They're some of the best people in Lubbock, and Lubbock gives them all the love back. They just simply don't miss. RIYL: Mexican pastries, tacos, and barbecue

The meat is absolutely delicious. It's seasoned just right and not dry. And their quesadilla is extra cheesy and gooey. Definitely will be stopping by regularly to get my fix.

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!

The burrito my hubby had was large and tasty. Just like something I would make him at the house. I had the elote. I've just started eating those and it was a nice treat. The raspada was soooo good. The only complaint my husband had was that there was so much fruit in the fruit drink it clogged the straw. That's a good problem to have. This does not look like a typical restaurant as it has a real Mexican type atmosphere. Everyone speaks English still. I wish that we had a place like this in our home town.

"Chicharro Preparado!???"…read more Be ware, a "chicarron preparado" looks nothing like the picture... you are expected to put it together yourself. I spoke to two different people because it was not what I ordered... they were unwilling to fix the chicharrón and when I asked for a refund or to order something else, the answer was "well, no, you already payed for it" completely unwilling to help in anyway. I have been here before with my family and everything has been great but this has completely ruined the experience.

Their tostadas or chips are solidly above average, I find myself horking the entire basket. I do not care for the house salsa--too much oregano and too much cilantro. It's terrible. Try the salsa at Mi Ranchito Burrito. It's bursting with fresh jalapeño and tomato and a healthy dose of fresh garlic it's fantastic. The tacos at Taqueria Jalisco or "TJ's" are the best in town they do not skimp and load them absolutely full with the lettuce tomato and cheese on the side. The ground beef or taco meat is simply the best and buy a very safe margin, therefore the crispy beef tacos and of course the beef enchiladas are consequently awesome back to the topic of the subpar salsa. I almost forgot to mention that they offer four optional or additional salsa: "Rojo", a basic salsa with no oregano that I can detect or cilantro either, "Verde"--a tomatillo-based salsa that is pretty good, "Habañero", the name speaks itself and last but certainly not least the"-Avocado-Lime". The avocado - lime is amazing in spite of it having a little bit of cilantro in it the flavor of the avocado and lime and whatever else they put in it sort of wash out the terrible cilantro taste, lol The service here is really good, very attentive and cute Hispanic waitresses. It's a respectable family restaurant but they do have an extensive drink menu. They have the usual refried beans but they have optional Charro beans, which are served whole bean. I think one time I ordered a steak and it was very thin and very well done but I liked it anyway sometimes there is a 10 to 15 minute wait but never longer than that, in my experience finally about the ambience it is very traditional Mexican food restaurant with Mexican themed artwork with emphasis on the blue agave plant which grows in abundance in Jalisco it can be crowded and loud - bustling, but it doesn't bother me I kind of enjoy being a member of a noisy crowd sometimes, lol. But other times it's much less busy and has a more serene atmosphere anyway, give this place a try they also have great breakfast tacos/burritos Closed on Mondays! Lol
