The location on Highway 6 is a regular haunt for myself and my family. Taquerieas Amanda's (on Highway 6) is an excellent experience everytime I arrive. The food is well-priced and authentic, the service is always high quality, and there is a consistency in each dining experience that I appreciate. Furthermore, the menu is quite large, displaying different options for different meals of the day. I often come for breakfast, as I appreciate the variety. I sadly cannot give a five star rating, however, as I do not believe this to be a venue that travelers to Houston must visit. As a chain restaurant, a standard must be held to keep things marketable to as wide an audience as possible, which unfortunately often means taking away the sparkle that hidden gems have. Nonetheless, the Highway 6 location provides a stellar dining experience. read more

I ordered a meal deal from Arandas and found a french fry in my Tacos they also did not put the beans and rice in the order. I could have went to Taco bell and get better Tacos then this. read more

Houston's authentic Mexican street food or home cooking food should be defined by Taquerias Arandas. My parents are immigrants from India and they synonmize this franchise with a real Mexican experience. I'm very confident that I've never had the same dish twice and frequently try something new each time. Enchiladas that aren't made with melted cheese are a brand new concept for me, so I was thoroughly surprised by this dish. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but likely will not have it again. The meat was so tender and the vegetables were soft and delicious. In the end, my favorite part of the meal was the fresh and generous portion of orange juice. Sweet enough to be satisfying, but not sugary to the extent that it tastes unhealthy. I'm not even a fan of pulp, but this was perfect. I always endulge in mixing salsas, but be warned that the green stuff is extremely spicy. Regardless, I treat it like Frank's Red Hot Sauce: I put that stuff on everything! read more

Hidden Gem Alert - Taquerias Arandas Deserves WAY More Love! I don't usually write Yelp reviews, but I had to show some appreciation for Taquerias Arandas--because their tacos are on another level and this place absolutely deserves more recognition! From the moment I crack open the foil, I knew I was in for something good. The tortillas tasted freshly made, warm and slightly toasty--none of that packaged stuff. Every single ingredient tasted **authentic and fresh**, like it came straight from a kitchen that cares. The meat was perfectly seasoned and juicy, not greasy. The cilantro and onions were crisp and vibrant. And don't even get me started on the salsa----bold, bright, and clearly house-made. These are the kind of tacos that remind you why simple food, done right, is unbeatable. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just real, honest flavor that makes you want to order round two before you're done with your first plate. Service was fast, the staff was friendly, and the vibes were relaxed and genuine--like stepping into a local spot where quality still matters. Taquerias Arandas isn't just good for a quick bite; it's legit taco excellence. If you're looking for the real deal and you believe tacos should be treated with respect--this is your spot. Support local flavor and go show this place some love--they've earned it! read more

The price is way too high for the quality of food but I wouldn't mind paying if the service was great, the waitresses are lazy and I had to look for her to do her job, she gave me a container after waiting for her and finally getting her attention but no bag and she dares to give me a face (attitude)when she didn't received a huge tip. They keep on hiding in the corner just chitchatting. read more

I love their food and when you order to go they are fast. The service is great. The drive thru service is good also

On Sunday May 18, we order some nachos and a filete de pescado. It was the worst fish I've ever taste. It's was burnt, didn't have flavor, it was like eating plastic, I can tell it was cooked in old oil, I told the waitress as a I asked for the ticket,she said she couldn't do anything abou it,, that I should've said something sooner!! Will NEVER go back!! read more

Good service, and great value! Compared to the 529 location, this is the only one in the area you should visit.

In town for the weekend, hunger hit late at night, and Arandas has always been a must stop when in town. Tortillas and meat were seasoned well, portions were generous and the food was warm even after driving back to our hotel. Their drive through is a huge +. When ordering, I deliberately asked for extra limes with my order, and sadly, I got zero limes with my order. Maybe checking your order before you leave their location would help. It sucked to realize the problem, once I was back in my room. read more

I used to love this place. But this time it was a bit sad... the server kept rushing us & the fajita torta was at best lukewarm. Our bread wasn't toasted or even heated, sad that this place isn't as good as it once was. read more

The service and cleanliness of the restaurant was fine; however I ordered beef fajita tacos, a beef fajita burrito , and got a meat that was not beef with lots of gristle. The charro beans also tasted to be days old. I've been to this restaurant multiple times in the past, and it was never this poor quality.Go BoJiden! read more

We ordered the fajita mixta family portion for delivery for $50 said to feed 4-5 people. All I can say is those are small people because it came with 6 tortillas, 2 individual portions of rice, 3 tablespoons of guacamole, and about a cup of charro beans. The portion of the fajita was good but the quality was not. I don't write bad reviews for food that doesn't live up to my standard but paying for a family size fajita meal that comes with enough sides for two is just ?? read more

I've visit this location so many time and it's my favorite. I LOVE the Desayuno Arandas with mix chilaquiles, green and red. The waitresses are very kind. read more

Taquerias Arandas - #7 - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've held off for as long as I can cuz I wanted to give them a chance to prove me wrong. Can't do it anymore. It's one of the worst places ever...but because if food but because THEY SCAM CUSTOMERS!! Every time I go there, the price changes & always more expensive. They give me bogus reasons the price changes, then starts taking bad about me in Spanish cuz I'm not Mexican. I know what they're saying tho. Just so unprofessional! Took my money back this time cuz I'm not giving them a single penny more from now on. Give your money somewhere else where they treat customers better. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. read more

Authentic MEXICAN FOOD! RECOMMENDED! Price is good for the quality and quantity! Clean facility looks like it's remodeled since Harvey flood happened a year ago! You can tell it's authentic because all of the people here are speaking Latino. I'm the only asian around here :) I love their food! Definitely coming back for more! read more

Eh was okay. Usually go to the jersey village one but we were out late and decided to give this location a try. The queso was watery and the app sampler was just alright. Our waitress rushed us even though there were customers still walking through the door. Felt like because we weren't Spanish speaking they couldn't care less about our business. Won't be back to this location. read more

Amazing food & quick service. Some of the best green sauce. I recommend the super California burrito.

Very nice interior. Newly renovated (late 2017) The food is fresh and prepared and served looking just like the pictures in the menu. The staff is kind and they check regularly to see if your in need. Prices are decent. They do serve alcohol and have TVs so you can catch your favorite sports team or Novella. No Patio. They have a drive thru. read more

Always love coming here. I've had waitresses who don't speak English but were perfectly fine with my mangled Spanish. We are always treated well, the food is really good the staff are very attentive. read more

I should have known better when most restaurants in the area are full. This place looks like a ghost town. I threw caution to the wind and ordered anyway. The shrimp my wife was served was at best, room temperature, at worst, raw. My breakfast ham and eggs was old, the bacon was burned and crispy. The cook probably had it made since this morning and just threw it in the microwave. It's 2:30 am and I'm suffering from Montezumas revenge. I will NEVER visit this location again, EVER!!! read more

Not sure why this place isn't rated higher unless it's due to being more authentic than some like. The restaurant is really well decorated and designed which surprised me. The wait staff spoke minimal English but provided good service. I had the enchiladas and they were delicious. The beans were good and rice was ok. My friend had some pork and chicken tacos and really enjoyed them. They had some kind of house made spicy sauce which was amazing. I would have purchased some if they sold it. Overall you should come here and enjoy some good food. Also the food came out within minutes of ordering and was fresh so it was an added bonus read more

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants! The taquitos plate has five taqueria size tacos with your choice of meat. I like it with the beef fajita. The green sauce has a hot kick to it and is addicting. Chips and salsa were not provided with the to-go order. It may be an additional charge, not sure on that one. They also have fresh juices. I definitely recommend their limonada (limeade). This location has a drive thru. read more

For a fast food Mexican food restaurant, this place does really well. And the service I get is top notch. I usually call my order in 15 min before i arrive and it's always hot and ready There is a lady who works the drive thru here during the day, she always makes sure I'm taken care of and my order is correct. One time I left my debit card and she called me to tell me because I had already driven off. They got a customer in me for life. Food is good, not great. But the good food and great service is what keeps me going back. read more

Not good at all. The staff was nice, but the food was very disappointing. Wilted lettuce and tough beef. Not worth it. It's one of the most depressing meals I have ever had. read more

Ordered through Uber Eats to my hotel. The quest and chorizo breakfast taco were pretty good. The beef steak burrito was disgusting. I felt like I was eating a bean burrito with bits of steak here and there. The beef steak enchiladas were even worse. The meat was tough and the lemon flavor was too strong. I hate wasting money on disgusting food. Don't eat here. I'm sure there are plenty of other places you can get better Mexican food. read more

What's up with cold beans?? Ordered a breakfast and eggs came out hot but beans are cold as if they opened a can and dumped them onto the plate. Is it too hard to ask for beans to be hot?? Keep coming back in hopes it gets better. No such luck! Today same cold beans and bacon that was cooked early this morning so now it's a leather strap of meat! Such a shame because this place used to care and food was pretty good but now awful. read more

food isn't the same anymore always mess up my burrito and now it's full of lettuce more lettuce then fajita

The chips and green sauce are a must! I ALWAYS get some to to go when I come. The chips are fresh and crispy. The sauce has a kick to it and is so good. I got the chicken quesdilla today and it was okay. The quesdilla was dripping, I guess from the chicken? My boyfriend got the beef tostada and beef taco. The beef tostada was good but the meat was a little tough. The beef taco was ehhh, the flour tortilla was touch and chewy. The chile con queso was watery... overall it was okay. Would come back to try other things although the price is a bit higher for mediocre quality food. The staff was friendly and gave service with and smile. Restaurant cleanliness quality was good. Not like other small dives or mom and pop shops I've been to. read more

Da bomb!!!! De-lish, great prices, and great service provided by Emma earned this place 5 stars. I wanted something kinda small and light. I ordered a large quesadilla (white cheese with beef fajita)cut in thirds. A small salad came with it. I ordered a bit of guacamole (for 50 cents it was a perfect amt!) to go with my quesadilla. The salsa and chips were good too. My friend ordered a torta with beef. He too enjoyed his meal. I strongly recommend this place. read more

I don't see how anybody could eat here really. I've been here several times hoping for the best. But that never happened. I had re fried beans and rice. The beans were water. Like really thin. Not a thick re fried beans. It had no flavor like it came out of a can put into a bin, and like when most of the beans ran out it seemed like somebody just threw water in their to make up for the loss of beans or some crap like that. I don't know how I imagined that. I'm just saying OK that's how it felt to me. The rice was hard bits. It tasted like half boiled rice with Mexican seasoning thrown in and stirred. It was really bad. I had tried other stuff like a bean and cheese soft taco that was the same watered down crap in a tortilla. The cheese was greasy. I don't recommend this place at all. The staff does not speak English well, only the owner so expect to get your order screwed up or having to repeat your order to them more like 5 times. It's OK on the inside. Their drive Thur is weird because there use to be a menu sign when you went thru... but no they hand you a menu while you sit in the car and wait. More like just driving your car into the building and sit there. Might as well do that because it's not a fast food drive thru. It was just strange. The whole place is weird to me. What's funny is I saw a Taqueria Arrandas trailer truck across the street from Kroger down FM 529 next to Wendy's I was like wtf is that doing there? I don't think I want to try that either.... the food sucks. sorry.... Then my mom had the nerve to come into my apartment waltzing in talking about "Hey Hun I got you some beans and rice." Oh yay I've been starving. I ask from where. "Taqueria Arrandas!" Oh Joy I'm happy to have watered food again. I tossed that shit out while she was not looking. Not this time, no I will not have a runny ass from bad food again! read more

(Indianapolis visitor in Houston dying for some tacos and an agua fresca.) We dropped by seeing how packed the place was and only til after did was realize it's a local chain. Service was quick, the tacos were delicious. Between three of us we split two orders of 5/6 tacos. We had milanesa (mistake! skip it for tacos! Milanesa is only fantastic on tortas), lengua (my fav!), barbacoa (to die for!), and carne asada (meh). Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 4/5 read more

I love this place so much. I haven't been inside since covid, but the food is just as fresh when you pick it up. The green salsa is absolutely delicious and chips are always crispy and not oily. We get the combination appetizer plate with mixed beef and chicken, the taco plate, the #1 with beef and cactus, and my mom likes some sort of chicken and seafood concoction. We haven't had anything we didn't like. read more
