Every time I come here, the staff is always very nice and attentive. Plus the music is always good, but if you want loud music I def recommend going to the bar. Speaking of that, the dish I ordered was from their bar menu, I believe. It was Botana camarone con pulpo (not sure if thats how it's listed on the menu) but it was so yummyyyy :D Refreshing, limey, tangy, and filling :P I def recommend it !!!! P.s. their drinks are strong read more

Food is always great and cheap! This one was stuck in my drafts. Over the years the prices have went up but they are still fairly priced. You cannot go wrong with their huevos rancheros or any of their breakfast tacos. There was a time when you could get breakfast for like 2.99 read more

Still one of our favorite local spots. They have done a nice remodel to brighten the place and replace the tired bathrooms with fresh tile and fixtures. They have also expanded their menu and added seasonal specials. We have always found the service here very good, although some of the staff are a little tentative with English. I see the complaints about prices, and yes they have gone up a lot in the last few years, bet where haven't they? Still good value for money in my book. read more

Taquerias Arandas - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Been here several times (and other locations) mostly for breakfast, but I was sadly surprised that their fajita tacos were awful! It was late, during the week & I had a taste for crispy tacos. I wanted something that was quick and made with REAL meat (not Taco Bell)! I ordered two crispy beef fajita tacos with avocados, cheese and salsa. Sadly, NONE of this came with it! Not to mention that I was hit with a $10 price tag for TWO-TACOS-ONLY. No rice, no beans, NOTHING came with it. Although everything was ready quickly, the tacos were horrible. They were tough and lacked flavor. Sooo disappointed. So I will just stick with their breakfast tacos, which are really good - at least at this location. :/ read more

Fucking amazing! Adrain is great so helpful and the atmosphere is top of the chain! 11/10 Greta people! Great food! Great service! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! read more

Buddy did a Door Dash and it turned out really good! We had carne asada & pollo asada fajitas. They were bomb! The guac was fabulous and I couldn't stop eating it! House salsa a bit watery, but still tasted ok. Delivery was complete and they waited for us a few minutes. Definitely recommend! Prices a bit high for fajitas though. Otherwise worth it and wash down with cervezas! read more

Was looking for a late night meal and stumbled upon this hidden gem. They're open super late and the perfect place to get some quick Mexican food. Their margaritas are really strong and they even had a party going on the other side. The service was good and the restaurant was nice and clean read more

While trying to check out a new restaurant, we happened to come across this place. We decided to order food, but unfortunately, our experience was far from pleasant. Our taco arrived with hair in it, so we politely sent it back. When the food was returned, the rice also had hair in it. We brought this to the attention of the manager, and instead of addressing the issue professionally, he told us we were the first people to ever have a complaint like this--implying the hair must have come from us. I explained to him that I have thick, curly hair, and the hair found in the food was bone straight, clearly not mine. Because of the poor customer service and how the situation was handled, I will not be returning. read more

The service is great and the servants are doing the job quickly. I wouldn't recommend this place because the food doesn't taste that good and it doesn't have any flavoring or seasoning and doesn't have quite a variety of foods just like oyster and Michoacán or mambo seafood house but I would recommend this if the family nearby wants to eat a quick meal and also I'm giving a three star because it doesn't have a lot of margarita choices read more

Always such a clean place, friendly staff BUT BUT BUT I feel like they rush you since they do bring the check when im not even done dining like chill. Food is always yummy and good read more

Taquerias Arandas - Menudo - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Con una comida muy rica y authentica y un gran servicio de moserat, el ambiente que se transmita ah cualquier hora es contagioso.

They need more English speaking bartenders. I'm all onboard equal opportunity employment, but it never feels like as a customer I'm welcome there. When I order on Doordash the food is always prepared better. I am a darker skinned woman and I don't speak Spanish. It's really hard to order and the girls get frustrated that they can't understand me. The food isn't bad, but not great. The music is also blasting so loud you can't actually hold a conversation, which doesn't make sense because they don't have a dance floor. read more

Worst customer service. Especially if you're not Mexican . Take your business to the 45 and Rayford location where you're treated like an American as well. All they care about at 1960 location is a profit will never go back . read more

Great easy food! Good family ambiance! I went during the week and it was good quick service.

Taquerias Arandas #23 is our go to. The atmosphere is friendly and they have great music playing, fast service, and the food always smacks. My boyfriend got the burrito california and I got the 5 Taquitos. 10/10 for both. read more

Drunk or sober, their quesadillas are amazing. Is this a unhealthy meal? Most def. Is it greasy? Just the right amount. Hungover? Their quesadillas will do what Ibuprofen or plenty of water cannot. I love their quesadillas so much, that I once ordered lengua(cow tongue) quesadillas at 1 am while drunk. Then waking up hungover at 11 am, and ordering al pastor quesadillas for lunch. Only reason it's a 4 star is because their other dishes aren't that great. read more

Awesome customer service & some of the best shrimp tacos I ever had, the place is also very clean and everyone is always friendly

Todo está muy bien todo rico excepto que te cobran el 18% de propina awevo eso está mal

I was a bit worried when we walked in and we're addressed in Spanish as I don't speak a word of it. However, not a problem. The service was quick, the portions were large. It was a little greasy, while I understand a quesadilla is a greasy item, it was dripping off the food when picked up off the plate. My husband had a burrito he was thrilled with. We would give it another shot. read more

Save your money. This used to be a good location. Now its triple the price, half the food. No flavor, over cooked rice. Bathrooms are nasty. No English spoken there. Just dont do it. read more

The food was cold, and the dishes were not prepared tasty either, when we complained to the waiter he never came back to the table. He just some poor girl over who couldn't or wouldn't speak English. The manager was sitting a table in the front playing on his lap top. I asked if he was the manager. Yes he said. We complained and he just said oh I'm sorry. Will NEVER go to this place again. $45 down the drain. read more

Food is good for the price. My dad enjoyed his caldo de mariscos. I had some street tacos. All good. read more

Stopped by for lunch and to try place out. We ordered combination platter to split. Didn't care for chicken tacos or the nachos. Ordered quest dip it was very thick. After eating I watched a waitress filling salsa cups in a fridge with no gloves on. Won't be back. read more

I ordered 3 tortas They were so nasty. They didnt even add the avocado. The milanesa was as rough as a tire. They just put a old piece of meat didnt even prepare it the right way. This was the second time and last time this happened to me. I will never go back Worst 35.00$ spent. I was so angry but didnt want to drive all the way back to get a refund. read more

Order food , pick up food - drove 15 min each way -to get food and spent $80 - got home and food wasn't good chicken was not safe to eat / raw expired - Called in to report and management didn't want to take my call and I was told by cashier to drive back and to make sure all plate was complete in order to make it a valid complaint- To hear this was worst customer service u can imagine. To a person that shops their consistent and spending a pretty penny each time is not good . Theirs 1000s restaurants all over city to shop and struggling to stay open to have us customers chose this place to get this as a bad experience. This manager should have some one in corporate office teach him customers service. read more

The customer service was great, everyone friendly and smiling. The problem was the food!!! My party and I went in about 8pm last night . My stomach is paying for it this morning. Side note the entry way smells bad that should've been my first clue. We ordered 5 of the 5 taquito plates. The meat was cold and dry(old), the grilled onions were not fresh onions that were grilled for the order they were old, so old you couldn't even smell them. The charro beans were horrible!!!! The beans tasted like ranch style beans with wieners and a little season. I have been to other taquerias and the food has never been this horrible. I would suggest going to the one on Shepherd for great food and customer service to anyone reading this review. read more

I love the food, plenty and full. The servers were nice. The location is accessible. Many choices, many options, tex-mex food are genuine. They have karaoke nights , the happy hours starts at 3 pm. We will definitely go back. read more

Ordered delivery and never received part of my order. Called to let the restaurant know the cashier (Diana) told me there's nothing she could do. I asked for a Manager she said he was in a meeting that would last and hour and then hung up on me. I called back to realize I am blocked. I came to the restaurant and to my surprise the manager (Alejandro) was standing in the front not in a meeting. He was not helpful either. Will not be going back. Order at your own risk. read more

I have been here numerous occasions and I LOVE the food !!! It's plentiful and reasonably priced !!! I usually get the Sampler platter with fajita meat or the 5 taquitos with charro beans !! All employees are nice and friendly and your food come out so quick !!!! ( Great place to eat when you've had a few drinks and in need of some food QUICK, HAHA) !! The restaurant does close at 3 am, BUT, I truly appreciated not being "kicked out and/or having to guzzle my food down" and I am always able to finish my food and that I purchased at 2:30 in the morning !! read more

Taquerias Arandas - 5 Taquitos with charro beans !! OH and the green salsa is soooo delicious!!! - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went there with my husband. We got seated and the server took our drink order took forever to bring them and then disappeared, literally did not see her again the rest of our time there. After a good 15 minutes another server came to us. They were bot busy at all. I got my food and the order was completely wrong (ordered tacos al carbon with steak and for tortillas, got chicken with corn tortillas). To make things worse I took a bite of my charro beans and I almost broke a tooth because there was a rock in it! Yes a rock! Told the server and her excuse was that "they didn't wash the beans" and that she will let the manager know. We never heard from a manager. Terrible place to go! read more

The only reason I gave 1 star was because there is not a 0 option. I been going to this place since 2013 and today was the first time i felt so uncomfortable, my waitress was doing her job from what I can witness and on the side of a costumers prospective. I Believe it was the manager if you can even consider that a manage. He was screaming and yelling at my waitress in front of me making me feel so uncomfortable and I wish there was some one that could stop him. I have never experienced this before anywhere I didn't want my waitress to feel any worse and cry so I just stood quiet please make sure you have a human running your business not an animal as we are not to ever go back read more

I had the shishkabobs. EXCELLENT choice. But the homemade green sauce was the best part of the dinner. read more

Taquerias Arandas - Chicken and shrimp fajitas with a Modelo. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

I ordered the tacos carbon with fajita meat. The meat was cold, I didn't complain even tho I should have. The meat was probably not kept at proper temperature and I ended up paying for it at the end, by having major diarrhea twice within an hour of eating at Arandas!! I called and complained that I ended up getting sick, and the so-called manager Alex could only say "I'm sorry, I can't do anything unless you go to the hospital" This place doesn't even deserve one star! read more

So my family and I tried to eat here last night around 12 midnight. The SAME MANAGER, ALEJANDRO, from my last review told us that the kitchen was going to close in 10 minutes (mind you they closed at 2 AM).. He was rude and shooed off my family and multiple other parties that followed and told us to go to the bar because that was the only thing open. This is strike 2 at this location and it's with the same damn manager. Definitely not happy. read more

Came to eat here a couple times and the last time I came here my credit card information was stolen by the waitress, I noticed this after I left because I received a notification from the bank and so immediately called my bank to report this fraud. Don't come to this place! La última vez que vine a este restaurante después de irme me di cuenta que la mesera me robo mi información de tarjeta porque me cayo una notificación del banco que compraron herramientas en línea luego llame al banco a reportar esta injusticia. No vengan a comer aqui! Si puedo hacer un reporte con la policía lo voy a hacer. Es una injusticia read more

Let me preface by stating that my witty, young son once likened this chain of restaurants to eating the poisons puffer fish; if you veer too far around the menu, it won't be pretty. Regardless for over 20 yrs I've enjoyed their fabulous array of salsas on only one item - the lowly tostada, I order the fajita, or beef tongue, I ask for a layer of sliced avocado on top in lieu of guac.( because I don't like msg.) I drink water, and spend approx. 4 bucks for a truly amazing Mexican sensation. This location, had an especially delightful surprise tonight, at the check out counter - a Mexican candy apple. Its tamarindo pulp, over a juicy apple, rolled in a chili powder mix that will leave you humming. read more

Customer service was horrible and the place smell of sewage when you walk in. My 3 year kept asking what's that smell

Food was pretty disappointing. I ordered the California burrito with fajita beef but I didn't realize they shred their meat and it definitely tasted a bit off. On top of that, we barely saw our waitress and there were only two tables with customers in the entire restaurant. I definitely don't anticipate in giving this specific location another shot. read more
