Grabbed a quick breakfast before going to the airport. The place is pretty dead in the morning, even on a Friday, so to should have no issues grabbing a table or getting a quick bite to go. If you get multiple breakfast tacos, they are wrapped in the same piece of aluminum foil, so don't be alarmed. I had the chorizo, egg, and cheese. And a Eggs a la Mexicana. They filled the hole in my belly, but they weren't anything special. This place was close to my hotel, so that's the reason I chose here. Not in a rush to go back. read more

I just had the most exceptional chilaquiles, with chicken, and two over easy eggs with refried beans. I may never have breakfast anywhere else again. This is Desayuno Arandas con pechuga de pollo y salsa verde - Arandas breakfast with chicken breast and green sauce. Also available with red sauce and/or fajita steak. The eggs are an add on and how I have always eaten chilaquiles. This makes for a ton of food and I eagerly look forward to eating the leftovers the next day because they are nearly as good as fresh made. Only want chilaquiles? That's a menu item, too, and comes with a side of refried beans. What are chilaquiles? Hand cut tortilla chips lightly fried and then sautéed in either red or green sauce topped with cheese and crema (sour cream). When made correctly, they are divine. At Taqueria Arandas they are divine. read more

Ate here while in town on the recommendation of Jeremy Pena. Well, really because he heavily advertises for them during Astros games. With locations around the Houston area, this is the lone outfit here in north Texas. From the outside it looks like just what it is - a Mexican restaurant with what appears to be a largely Hispanic clientele. The lavish menu in Spanish with English translations almost an afterthought. There is casual seating and Telemundo on various screens. It also appears to have a well stocked bar and outdoor seating. Prices were reasonable. Service was friendly, efficient, and non obtrusive. At one pm on a Thursday the place was not busy but also not empty. My friend and I decided to each try the #6 enchilada plate. She got the chicken with verde sauce. I got the beef with red sauce. Both came with generous portions of rice and retried beans. The beans were on the wet side and very tasty. The rice was also good though a bit subdued. A small green salad graced each plat as well as three enchiladas covered with cheese. Her chicken was well seasoned. My beef was also good - small chunks of diced beef. The meal also came with the usual chips and salsas. The red salsa was tasty and garlicky. A green sauce came in a yellow squeeze bottle with a kick that lingered. Yum. The iced tea came in a glass big enough to share. But I don't. Taqueria Arandas is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. My only regret is that it's just too far from home to patronize regularly. But if they ever open an East Dallas location I'll be there regularly. Well done Taqueria Arandas, well done. And thanks, Jeremy. Go Str read more

Taqueria Arandas - #6 Enchiladas Plate - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

Just so we get this out up front: I LOVE TAQUERIA ARANDAS!! I have been to I don't know how many outposts of this Houston chain, but the fam knows we will eat there once on each trip to Houstopolis. I had thought that my closest TaqA was in Waco - WRONG!!! I tripped over this one in Irving today - I had no idea this was here!! So - whats's for lunch? Yeah, duh. We started with the house-made fresh chips and uncooked salsa - those chips are like crack. One you start, you can't stop. Salsa is always delicious and made fresh daily. I got the new Alambres Norteno, a mix of ham, carne asada, puerco al pastor, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and melted white cheese, served with flour or corn (get corn) tortillas, pico de gallo and fresh guacamole- MUY DELICIOSO!! Yanquis may want to watch out for the pico - they use Serrano chiles, not jalapeños, so the pico may be A LOT hotter than you expect. My husband got the Torta de Pollo Guisado, which was a soft bollillo stuffed with a lot of tender stewed chicken, topped with sliced avocado and sour cream. He loved it! This place is gonna be happening for the World Cup, and is also Cowboys Football obsessed. Unlike any other TaqA I have been in, this one has a separate full bar and outdoor all seating as well. Bring your friends on game day! :) The building is hard-used, but the bathrooms are clean and updated, plus the food is as delicious as I remember. Service is fast and friendly, food impeccably fresh. 5 I'll see you at Taqueria Arandas IN! NORTH! TEXAS!!!! Stars read more

I have always passed this place and after many years of Passing my family and I finally decided to try it about a month ago and now we go weekly!!! Everything on the menu is AMAZING..the carne (fajita) is damn flavorful and tender...we love this place and the service is great!!!! This aint no taco bell or taco casa So you better learn spanish enough to order and communicate some basic things as a customer! read more

First of all the food is delicious, fresh and almost TOO reasonably priced. But that's not the reason for this review. Last night I had dinner here with my cousin Rachel, who I hadn't seen in several years. We got so engrossed in our conversation that I accidentally left my wallet behind when we were through. Twenty hours later I figured out what had happened and I just got back from picking it up. Every single thing in it - my credit cards, my ID, my COVID Vax record, $220 in cash - it's all here. These folks are the BEST!!! read more

The food at this location is not good at all! The food has no flavor! The meats like beef tongue is cut so thin and has no flavor! I ordered a fajita tostada and a fajita and beef tongue sope. I could not eat the food was tasteless! They add too much beans so they can give less meat, but either way the food is not good! My stomach hurt afterwards, I think beans may have been starting to go bad. Also everything is so greasey! I tried to express to waiter food was not good but he didn't care and said others have no complaints! Save yourself the money quality of food is not worth the $20 I was charged for two sopes and a tostada after I ordered two Gorditas that were just as bad! Food is soaked in grease and poor quality! You're better off going to Taco Bell! Parking is very limited and facility is so run down! Staff never refilled my drink and were not attentive! read more

I'm from Southern CA and have lived in TX for about 5 years now. I have traveled to AZ, NM, the southest borders you can think of in the US. This is by far, THE BEST tacos I have ever had in my life. No overexaggeration, the meat is so tender and flavorful...nothing I have ever had or can compare to. All 3 dishes were 5/5 with compliments to the staff for their attentive and hospitable service; hats off y'all. That being said, I have found my new taqueria where I am going to take all my out of town friends and rave about this to everyone that craves Mexican food. Thank you, you just gained a loyal customer. read more

Taqueria Arandas - Shrimp taco - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

Taqueria Arandas is a chain that originated out of Houston, and is EVERYWHERE there. It is a good bet if you are going to stick to the true "taqueria" options, you may be disappointed if you are expecting the normal Dallas Tex-Mex food. Go the real Taqueria route: order a few different tacos - my favorites are the nopales (cactus), pastor (roasted pork), and lengua (beef tongue). Authentic presentation is on corn tortillas with chopped onion and cilantro. Also, they will make you a Michelada - a nice spicy beer with lots of lime and salt. Good stuff! In Houston, we would often go for breakfast and order Chilequeas or huevos mexicanos. Great start to the day. read more

OK why did I rate great? The food is good. Mexican food is hard to rate because you have to go item by item. I have been there twice and have had desayuno tacos. They made me breakfast for dinner which as nice of them to do. What makes this better than average is the coffee house relaxed environment. Price is very reasonable. They let me stay for 3+ hours to study without getting upset. Sometimes they have live music. Las mujeres que trabajan alli, ellas son tan hermosas, amable, y simpatica tambien. So when you add everything, food, environment, price, and staff together it is fabuloso. read more

One of my friend recommended this place for our group meet up. Service is friendly and fast, but the place is not the cleanest place. 5 TAQUITOS- corn tortillas with your choice of meat (beef and pork) served with grilled onion, grilled jalapeño, and charro beans The tacos tasted great and flavorful. The flavors are on point. It tasted simple, but authentic. I really liked the grilled onions because it added some sweetness and the jalapeños added a little heat. I'm usually not the biggest fan of beans, but the charro beans were savory. ENCHILADAS- three green enchiladas, cheese, and chicken served with rice and refried beans These were some flavorful enchiladas and they carried a nice creamy heat to them. The rice was cooked perfectly and added some texture to the savory beans. The chicken was a bit chewy, but the sauce added some great creamy flavor. The food was great and I promised to come back, but I gave 3 stars because after that meal, all my friends had stomachaches and the end result was not pretty. This was the only meal that we shared together so we ruled this as the reason why we felt ill. Perhaps it was an unclean day, but I don't hold a grudge because the food was still great and other reviews don't seem to have the same issue. I'll come back, but if I get sick again I won't be returning. read more

Horrible service to start with, I only go with my family because it's just been tradition to come here after mass every Sunday. I used to enjoy it as a kid because of the limited taste I had but as an adult now I see it's pretty bland. They always seem to mess up my order, if I ask to leave items out like beans or the veggies they don't take them off the platter. I ask for a water with lemon like I see other people do around me and I don't get my lemon. Small details like that just get on my nerves a bit. The servers always seem so rushed which I understand if they are understaffed, but I work in service and it doesn't take much to make the guests feel a little welcome and cared for. Lots of room for improvement all around. read more

Taqueria Arandas - Veggies and beans. water no lemon - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

Place is dank. Definitely need to brush up on my Spanish when I call in to order. But the breakfast tacos are well worth it. We've ordered here a dozen times for an office bfast club. Everything is great even the nopales which I'd never order on my own. Make sure to ask for as many extra green sauces as possible! read more

I can only speak to the breakfast food, as that is all I have tried. But the food was very good. It is obvious that the owner or manager cares about the quality of the food they produce in their kitchen. It was not just all thrown together for commercial purposes - You can tell from the taste of the food that they make extra efforts to prepare the food with taste quality as a priority. Many places like this seem to just "mail it in" & produce commercial-grade food. This is not that. All three salsas are REALLY good, too - something that in my experience as a Mexican food eater for most of my 58 years, is pretty rare. Sometimes you'll get 1 good one, and occasionally two. But for all 3 to be excellent like this place? SUPER RARE. Give these guys a chance, and ignore the bad reviews. I'll bet you'l like if not love it! read more

Too much to choose from on the menu. Went with their fajitas. Delish. Would definitely recommend coming here if your in the area.

If you like authentic tacos and quesadillas this is the place for you. I typically get a fajita steak quesadilla or fajita steak tacos with corn tortillas and cilantro and onion, squeeze a lime on it and add the green sauce you're in taco heaven. This is an authentic place so they speak little English but it's never been a major issue for me. I have tried the diabla shrimp and I wasn't a fan but on the menu it's one of their best sellers. I've also had camarones de plancha and it's basically shrimp fajitas because they bring you tortillas to eat with it. No matter what you get, if you like spicy food, put the green sauce on it. It makes everything taste better. They have speedy service and the food comes out quick. I took away one star because it's not as good as the ones in Houston. read more

Always a stop when I'm in the neighborhood. I've been hitting this spot since the early 2000's. No frills straight to the point Tex mex food.

We went here for lunch today while getting the car serviced at Metro Volkswagen. This place does not look like much from the outside (or inside) but it serves up some authentic, delicious Mexican food. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Nice to see Spanish and English on the menu. Clientele was a nice mix of Mexican and Texans as well. I had soft Tacos, one with beef and one with Chicken. Salsa of the table was spicy and top shelf. My wife had a ground beef and bean burrito. It was huge, fresh and tasty. I am tired of the chains that lack personality and fresh food. This place delivers on both. read more

Seriously folks... this Mexican restaurant has got it right ! It is a chain from Houston, but their restaurants have a local feel to it. Their orange juice is fresh ... like someone had to squeeze it for you before it got on the table, with pulp and seeds etc... I have been there for breakfast / lunch and dinner. Never been disappointed. Typical Mexican fare. Cheap. Good beers. Free WiFi, just in case you need to use Google Translate to talk to the waitresses. read more

This is one of our favorite breakfast spots. I have been here several times & every time I go the food is delicious. I had the Desayuno Arandas ( Chilaquilles) which is corn tortillas cut, fried with red sauce poured over it with cheese & a dollop of sour cream on top, it also came with fajita steak which is full of flavor and tender and some refried beans. I absolutely love love this dish. Their fresh squeezed orange juice is the best! Their tortilla chips are wonderful. My husband loves it here as well & never complains. read more

Worst place to even consider this a "Mexican restaurant " We had came in about 8pm one night with my husband and sister, we hadn't eaten been a busy day for us and I was pregnant as well. Ordered a few steak tacos and chorizo and chicken tacos. Tell me why the steak tacos and chicken tacos were basically boiled chicken probably from a caldo de pollo and the steak tacos were probably like boiled something like tacos de birria or something but it was the most disgusting experience ever! The waitress was not all that great either, she had came by asked if the tacos were good and I literally placed all the tacos in one plate and said no, these tacos were not good at all! The waitress went to "tell the manager" that way we wouldn't get charged, right? The bill comes back $60 some dollars and we still paid $40 something dollars for some tacos! I thought it was pretty ridiculous, we didn't even buy liquor! NEVER WILL RETURN. Please find elsewhere to go and don't waste your time here you won't be disappointed. read more

Came in on a Sunday on my way to DFW , the wife and I were looking for something fast for breakfast as we had a noon flight to catch. Being from California, decent Mexican food is hard to come by for us. This place was suggested to me by Google and was right off the highway. We walked in and although the place looked busy, we were tended to fast, it's in a dated neighborhood. We were created by our waitress and she took our drink order, wife had the small menudo and I ordered the large pozole. Portion was good for the large the small is too small imo, the flavor was good, service was decent and we were in and out in a span of 35 mins which worked great since we were in a hurry. I overheard the table to the left of us complaining amongst each other about the waitress not being attentive enough but we didn't experience this at all, she brought our drinks right away and took our food order asap, food was out within 6-7 mins. She brought all the sides and asked us more then 3 times if we needed anything else. 4 stars for me read more

Not sure what the negative reviews - this place is fantastic! The street tacos appear to be a popular dish which is what I ordered. They came with cooked onions, two corn tortillas and plenty of meat - the beef appeared to be chopped up fajita meat which was great - the tortillas while not homemade were soft/pillowy and tasted like a big hug! Also got to try their cactus - pickled and delicious. Prices very reasonable - authentic clientele - will definitely be back soon! read more

I downloaded this app just to share this with you. I ordered the number 9, it was a big burrito win a whole can of refried beans in it. It reminded me of being in college and making bean and hot sauce burritos, because that's all I could afford. If that's what you're into enjoy the #9 on their lunch menu, if not pick something else. read more
