Park out front, and sit anywhere. They quickly greet you and offer drinks (soft) and chips/salsa with the menu. The chips are thick but crisp, and the salsa is good. The Jalisco Sampler is a LOT of interesting food; tasty and filling! (We took some home!). The Tamales were large and shucked; covered with the sauce of my choice. My Shrimp Cocktail was huge; about a dzn large shrimp in a good mix of ceviche and avocado slices. I ran out of crackers for my shrimp cocktail - and enjoyed the rest on chips! Service is outstanding; we were impressed!

The chipotle sauce was like a bbq sauce...very tasty. Carnitas had good flavor but could use a sauce, which they have options. The fried chicken tender on the southern taco lacked flavor. If you're a fan of fish tacos from Rubio's in California, these are meat identical flavor. The red snapper was fresh and flaky. And there's many more taco options. We had a training server but he was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and options. And then there's the margaritas. Had the hibiscus 'rita. Priced very well and better than other restaurants in the area. We will definitely be back.

Everything started out ok - our waitress was sweet and attentive when we first sat down. However, once we ordered, we waited and waited for the food. After 45 minutes, we explained that we either needed our food or we'd like the bill for our chips so we could go to another place to eat. After that, the food appeared pretty quickly. Unfortunately, the food was truly bad - no salt, and very, very bland. I especially have to mention the beef...we ordered a carne asada taco and a fajita taco (the fajita taco description mentioned having "ribeye") and the meat in both was awful. It could be squeezed into mush between my fingers. Again, the staff was friendly enough, and I think they tried their best to make up for the long wait, which we appreciate, but to wait that long and the food be SO subpar just really made for a bad meal. I would try and find another place to eat when you visit Hot Springs.

We were quickly seated and served our drinks and given chips and salsa. I can always tell if a Mexican place will have any hope based off their salsa. The salsa here is good, so I was already thrilled. I ordered the vegetarian fajitas. They're supposed to come with cactus, but mine did not. However, that didn't really detract from the other fresh veggies. The dish came out with a literal cauldron of goodness with lots of flavor. Included were rice and beans. Let's not forget the salsa bar either! I piled on the habanero salsa and it was nice and spicy. There was enough food for at least 2 full meals. The leftovers were great again the next day. I would definitely recommend Arandas for a more authentic Mexican experience, especially if you don't like "vanilla" dishes!

The salad and salsa bar was a step above most places, offering plenty of fresh toppings and a nice variety of salsas to customize your meal. The tacos were amazing and full of flavor. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food instead of the typical tourist spot, this place is definitely worth trying. The salsa bar is one of the standout features and really sets them apart. The Service was amazing and fast very friendly The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that there is still a little room for improvement, but overall it was a very enjoyable experience and I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Branson.

Carnitas, Al Pastor, Barbacoa, and Asada. I loved them in that order. I probably wouldn't do the asada again. There's nothing wrong with it but it's just standard and I'd rather repeat one of the other 3. The meat in them was perfectly seasoned, tons of flavor, great texture. They have a little salsa bar to get some sauces. Green and orange were very hot which I love so they were perfect for me! Also a mild one to choose and sliced radishes and cucumbers which I love stuffing radishes onto my tacos. We showed up 20 min before close and it was no problem. Very welcoming. It took longer than expected to get the food being as we were the only ones in there but that told me they cooked it all fresh and took care in the preparation. Not just thrown in a basket and here ya go be quick and get going! One of the employees came to chat with us for a while and just ask about where we were from etc and we had a pleasant conversation with her. We won't soon forget this place and will be back again!
