5 different meat tacos, but two of them did not last.

Good here is very authentic Mexican food and very delicious! The taste of food is as I was in Mexico eating! Very recommended!!

The customer service was adequate, though not exceptional. I did note that my drink was not refilled at any point. My super burrito, however, was delicious. I recommend giving this establishment a try.

#6 Enchiladas Plate
Bob L.

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

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

Mango margarita  Taken 03.06.23
Ronnie B.

The food was good but smaller than advertised. The queso was cold upon arrival to our table. The margaritas were good as well. Would I dine here again? No, but that's my personal preference.

Always get the crispy beef tacos. Love it's simplicity and don't forget the green sauce people. :-)

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. Great service, the place might be a little out dated but it has a special place in my soul. Lol Place looked empty due to the 183 construction in front of the place.

Tacos carne asada
Nick B.

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.

Shrimp taco

Food was fresh and delicious. My taco was Full of shrimp, they are not stingy ! Get it. You won't regret

5 taquitos
Anh L.

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.

This resturant is one of my boyfriend and i's go-to places when we want a nice meal! I was not…read morefeeling incredibly hungry this night, so I opted for two shareables. We had two servers and both were kind and helpful with taking our order and getting drinks and food out on time! The restaurant is mood-lit and vibey. It's a calm atmosphere and their bar area is stunning. I got the fries and friends, which came with three dipping sauces. This is a very generous portion and my boyfriend and I were unable to finish it between the two of us- would be great to share with 4 people, in my opinion! I also got the Brussel sprouts, which I did finish. They are cooked to perfection and have an incredible garlic sauce. They used to have grapes mixed in, which I LOVED! However, they have since changed the menu. I understand it was an odd pairing and maybe guests didn't want to try it, but it was great!!! Sad to see it change, but still good! My boyfriend and I both got the great rum punch, and it packed a punch! Although l couldn't taste the alcohol on the sweet drink, I could feel it! We had a great time and will be back. We wanted to recommend the charcuterie board, we get it most times we come! They always have fresh and seasonal options they put on the board and have even made a fully vegetarian board for me before, they're great!

Stopped by Whiskey Cake with some coworkers for a quick lunch. I hadn't been in years, but I…read moreremembered that cake. Some people hold onto cherished childhood memories. I hold onto dessert. The menu looked a little different, and the service was really good. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were absolutely wonderful. I don't even like tomatoes, but apparently my objections disappear once you bread and fry them. I have principles. They're just negotiable. For my entrée, I ordered the steak salad. It was okay, but nothing I'd get excited about. The steak was lukewarm, and the dressing was sweeter than I wanted. I prefer my sweets in cake form, which, conveniently, was already part of the agenda. I'd skip the salad next time for the price; I've had better meals elsewhere. But the whiskey cake? Still amazing. Still worth remembering years later. Honestly, I'd come back again and again just for that cake. So my lunch had a strong opening, an underwhelming middle, and a spectacular finale. Thankfully, I'm very willing to forgive a plot issue when dessert sticks the landing.

They have a limited menu so be aware of that, but what they have they do it well. Chicken Fajitas: Doesn't come out smoking hot which I would've wanted but it had great flavor. It was boujee fajitas for sure lol. A bit spicy but I enjoyed that. 8/10 Tacos: a little dry but again had great flavor. 8/10 Queso; tasty but didn't come out super hot, it was kind of clumpy. 6/10 Horchata: omg so good must get 10/10
