The 'quesadilla de champinones' is one of the better Mexican dishes I've ever tasted! It's crunchy masa stuffed with mushroom, cheese and a mild kimchi. Awesome texture and flavor! We also had a tamale plate stuffed with very tender pork that practically melts in the mouth. And the 'bistec de coliflor', like the above-mentioned quesadilla, is a vegetarian dish with well-balanced flavor and excellent texture. Everything we tasted, from the guacamole to the entrées, provided us with an impression of freshness and authenticity. Highly recommend this place!

Skip this place and go to Taco Bell. I’m not kidding. The bartender was cold at best and had no knowledge of the menu. Food lakes innovation, seasoning and flavor. Spend your money elsewhere.

Fantastic spot - great margs and tacos - we loved the vibe and the staff. We enjoy sitting at the bar in spots like this to learn about the community / other recos from the locals. We were not disappointed here, until unfortunately a family with noisy young kids came in and were also seated in the bar…totally ruined the experience unfortunately. Really wish more places would honour the ‘no minors’ aspect of bars/lounges, especially when there’s a dining room they could have been directed to.

We went there for happy hour and really enjoyed ourselves! Great food and drink options. The guacamole and salsas were amazing! Loved that the salsas actually had some heat to them. The mushroom quesadilla didn't have too much flavor to it sadly, I think the tortilla flavor overpowered everything. And the tuna tostada was really fresh! Will definitely be back!

I’ve been wanting to eat here since it changed to a Mexican restaurant a few months back and we weren’t disappointed.
It’s all about flavor and while the lunch menu is smaller than the dinner offering, and the dishes could be considered traditional, they were packed full of flavor.
It was pretty warm when we were there but the fans in the outdoor area out the back were perfect, and were the Margaritas!

We had dinner here for our anniversary and were extremely happy with the meal, ambience, and service! The food was all excellent. We each had tacos and also ordered sides of the beans and guacamole. The red bell pepper margarita was a unique and tasty cocktail, and their wine list and by the glass selections were well put together!
Perhaps the best part of the evening was the service. We were treated very well and it was the best restaurant service that we have had in a long time.
I wish more people knew of this restaurant. Definitely want to return!

Such a fun HOWL! The Deity & punch drinks started us off & they were yummy! The food is so fresh & delish ! The server was kind and accommodating. The singer was a special treat - he was very good .. & I got a tarot reading! Looking forward to next full moon if we don’t go back sooner!!

A perfect spot for a laid-back, delicious time! Their happy hour is a true gem with a menu that keeps it simple yet satisfying. Cold, cheap beer pairs perfectly with the fresh, delicious oysters, and their cocktails add a playful twist to your night. Great place to kick back and enjoy good vibes!

So glad to have this restaurant! This is a delightful “upscale” Mexican restaurant. The food is just superb. I love the chicken tacos—have never had better chicken. Great marinated grilled meat for you to “make your own.” Husband loved his Caesar salad! It may seem more expensive than most Mexican restaurants but it is a great value because of the generous portions—very shareable and enough to take home. Check them out!
Our sever was a delight, everything is was either meh or just plain disappointing. This will shudder soon, assured. $32 for a literal plate of barely blanched cauliflower and broccoli lightly drizzled with pointless sauce. Don't do it.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Arandas, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The food was truly amazing—authentic, delicious, and incredibly fresh. Each dish was a testament to unique and exquisite flavors that you simply won't find at other Mexican restaurants. A big shout-out to Chef Adrien Nieto for crafting such a memorable culinary experience; your skill and creativity shine through in every bite. The ambiance of the restaurant was equally impressive. It's clear that a lot of thought went into creating a welcoming and pleasant dining environment. But what really stood out was the fantastic service. The personnel were attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about providing a great dining experience. Overall, Arandas offers an outstanding culinary journey that's well worth experiencing. If you're a fan of Mexican cuisine, this place should definitely be on your radar!

Great food!!!!! Smallish menu, but something for everyone and we ordered too much food not knowing the portions. Lovely staff, tad slow, but our delicious fresh meal helped make up for it. Once ordered, food came out quickly. Victoria and Megan were delightful. Thus place should be busy busy busy! Great bar too. We are locals and hope this place thrives.

While the restaurant is undeniably beautiful, the food unfortunately falls short. As a professional chef managing multiple businesses, I had high expectations, but the quality and flavors were disappointing. The dishes, though initially promising, lacked proper execution. The majority of the food was bland, and the few items with flavor were not enjoyable. I doubt many will return after their first visit, and locals certainly won't pay a premium for this level of quality. The drinks were acceptable, but service was slow despite the restaurant being nearly empty. Also, it's time to stop putting flowers on every dish—it's overdone. Charging $32 for ground pork served in a bowl with stale tortillas is simply unacceptable.

The tacos were amazing as was the homemade salsa. This felt like high end dining in Mexico City. I wish there was a larger selection of food but you will not be disappointed. Try the double trouble margarita.
