    Did not feel like going out this particular evening so I decided to DoorDash and order it from Taqueria Aranda #12. I ordered the grilled chicken quesadilla with a side of refried beans and rice it also comes with guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, green salsa, and red salsa. The entire meal was delicious the chicken quesadilla had just the right amount of cheese and chicken grilled to perfection. The refried beans were also delicious and so was the side of Rice. The grilled chicken quesadilla was A good size portion quesadilla and also had a lot of grilled chicken nor a lot of cheese and it was delicious. I really enjoyed this meal as always this location does an outstanding job I always enjoy the food from this location! Try them out.

    Great food. Front desk service is good. Waitress are a bit distracted, they need to be more friendly. The salsa is the best. Chips and salsa are no longer complementary, there is additional cost. Outside is a bit dirty, it needs maintenance.

    This place located farther than the one over to my home. But didn't fail on the quality of food an service! Brought family fron out of town an enjoyed their meals. I guess it does matter which Arandas you go, they will all give the same in food and customer service!

    We were looking for a good Mexican restaurant to eat but we could not find one that was close to us at the moment, we decided to stop and eat at Taqueria Arandas because it was getting late to eat dinner. The person working at the restaurant were great. I have to say that unfortunately the food was not all the great it was eatable and did not tasted bad but let jus say that it will not be my first chose to eat Mexican food in Houston Tx.

    We’ve been coming to this location for years now and have never had an issue with their service or quality of food. Another location is closer to us, but this one is definitely worth the drive. Only cons is that I miss when they would bring chips and salsa right away while you’d wait. They have stopped doing that, not sure if permanently but I do miss it, their al carbon tacos also don’t come with queso to dip in anymore😩 not sure if they still have the queso at all, but if they do I recommend asking for it ! It’s amazing with the al carbon tacos.

    I ordered food over the phone. They were very polite and quick. They had my food ready in less than 15 minutes. Great service, quick and efficient. Recommend them for when you're in a hurry and need something yummy to eat.

  • 5/5 Erica R. 6 months ago on Google
    Food was on point! It was packed in there which only means good food right! And we were seated quickly... only problem for me was you had to pay if you wanted chips and salsa... I thought it should be complimentary.

  • 5/5 D H. 6 months ago on Google
    My favorite! This is my favorite for Hobby airport location. I travel regularly for a living and I have eaten at many Mexican restaurants. This is tops in my book. The salsa was not very spicy but it was good. The guac was perfect, my beef enchiladas were the best I have ever had. The service was the highlight of my trip. I was seated promptly and she took my drink & food order asap. My margarita never hit the bottom. It stayed full and was delicious. I’ll be back!

    Brunch time gets packed. But I love how quick they get you in and out. Also I think it depends on the cook, this past Sunday my food was on point and fresh other times it was good but not as fresh. All in all they are good just not consistent.

  • 1/5 Ashley H. 7 months ago on Google
    THEY LIKE TO STEAL FROM YOU. They like to add on extra tip money for themselves. As is the SECOND time its happened to me. May just be a little change, probably thinking I wouldnt notice, but i noticed hence why I am writing. Sad.

    Headed home from a cruise and decided to have breakfast at the lovely place. Waitress was great, fast service. No complaints on the food. Everyone enjoyed their food. I'll have to stop in again on my next cruise.

    We were seated fast for 12 people, the drinks and food came out fast as well. Everyone liked the food. I had a piña colada and it was perfect!!

  • 5/5 Kevin F. 7 months ago on Google
    I flew back home to Houston/Pasadena on vacation and told my wife we had to stop here. I got the quesadilla plate that I'd always get before. Same taste and portions as it was like 10 years ago. Felt like I hyped it a bit too much, but I was nostalgic. The experience solidified why I did. Would've loved to go further down the feeder road to the bakery but didn't have time.

    We had a group of 9 for my mother in laws birthday lunch. The waitress we had was very rude, hardly came to the table to check on us, and had an attitude when i found a hair in my salsa. 1000% would not recommend.

  • 2/5 Andrade W. 1 year ago on Google
    Not alot of restaurants were open for Christmas this one was but definitely made a bad choice on buying tacos from here. Paid over 60 dollars for 17 tacos and 2 large orchatas no flavor at all. The tortillas were falling apart some tacos had huge pieces of tomatoes and lettuce and some onion and cilantro. All meat tasted boiled.

    This location is easy to get to. Plenty of parking. Lots of tables to choose from to sit. Our regular waiter is a Jonathan . He always has a smile 😃 and very friendly. He comes to check to make sure all is good. And thanks us for coming into the restaurant.

    Everything was hot, delicious and very fairly priced.

  • 1/5 Luis M. 1 year ago on Google
    The a/c is not working. This is the only Méxican restaurant I've been to where They CHARGE for the CHIPS AND SALSA DIP.. Lol that my friends is ridiculous. When we asked if they could give the chips and salsa complimentary due to the A/C being out they said NO and it was up to us if we liked it fine if not we could leave.. THIS IS THE LAST TIME WE COME HERE. AND WILL TELM AS MANY PEIPLE AS I CAN TO AVOID THIS PLACE AND THEIR RUDE STAFF.

  • 2/5 Francisco M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food: Dry & bland, use Salsa to season, oh sorry, chips & salsa are not included any more, they're extra cost. Prices increased, quality of food has not. Service was not impressive. A/C was not working.

  • 5/5 Andrea Barrera (. 1 year ago on Google
    I always come here for myself and family. I love their pastries so delicious. I always get my favorites as well as a cheesecake and mocha cake slice. They have a very large variety and are always full with product. Their cakes are JUST the right amount of sweetness. Clean and nice staff. Very affordable.

    Very poor customer service . I eat from here frequently. My favorite dish is the mojarra frita fish. My usual order request is for chef to add a little extra salt because usually the fish is not salted enough for my taste . I’ve never had an issue doing it this way . The food has always been good no issues. On this occasion however, the chef over salted the food to the point where it wasn’t edible. When I spoke to both the waiter and then to the manager. The manager Armando told me to order regular next time. He refused to provide a replacement and made it seem like I was lying or being unreasonable. He never apologized or came back to the table to follow up. I was very disappointed because this is literally the only restaurant that I order this dish from and I’ve had several visits and never had an issue. When I asked for the managers name the waiter Jonathan provided the wrong name and advised the managers name was kevin. I asked to speak with the manager again and asked his name which is when I realized they provided the wrong name. We requested drinks to go and the waiter provided 1/2 a cup. The waiters were very distant and rude . I must however give compliments to Maritza she has has always made our experience a good one.

    Took my mom out for lunch , the ladies who took our order down bought my mom wrong tacos , she asked for beef bought her chicken instead on hard shell tacos... didn't come ask us if we needed more drinks. Bought me cold beans. And my mom had order one taco. Still got charged for wrong order and I got end up paying for wrongorder this was extra money. I didn't need to be paying...
