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.

We had a great experience. The menu has unusual “upscale” items—it is so much more than burritos and refried beans ( not that those items are bad). The chicken tacos were fabulous—marinated meat grilled perfectly, toppings and sauces you can assemble yourself, hand made tortillas—delicious! Service was great as well. We will go back soon!

Profoundly fulfilling dining experience. No, this is not a "Mexican restaurant." This is chef-driven fine dining with roots in Mexican cuisine. There is a significant Asian and California influence on many dishes. They were executed flawlessly. Our group of 6 had almost the entire menu, and not a single dish was just average. Hyper local ingredients. And, yes, you pay for this. One of the best meals THIS chef has eaten in years. Go there.

Outstanding! Can't wait to return. Beautiful food and beverage program. Carl & Iana took wonderful care of us as well as our server Kayla. Great for a happy hour or a special occasion. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

This was our first dining experience here, as they are newly opened in our area. Food was excellent as was the service. The patio dining area is my favorite outdoor dining in all of Sonoma county so we requested patio seating. Cannot wait to go back!

We were excited to try this new restaurant in Healdsburg that is in the space formerly occupied by Chalk Board. We had patio seating which was very comfortable. The food was good, not great, but a little pricey for what we received. We will likely try again and try different menu items to see if we have a better experience.

We enjoyed a family birthday celebration, our server & all staff we interacted with were extremely attentive & thoughtful. The cocktails were fantastic. We were a bit confused about portions when we ordered, so we over did it. We chose build your own taco options, 1 order would work well for 2 people, next time we go we will adjust. We did take leftovers & enjoyed them the next day. We loved the chorizo & green sauce taco filling, quite unique and delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxed. We truly appreciated the experience.

Space is attractive and comfortable. We sat in the dining room. Food was delicious particularly the soup special and the potatoes. The Caesar salad is uniquely served. It's all the layering of flavors that makes the food delicious. Chicken tacos were good nothing special. Chicken was very tender. Service was excellent.
Wait staff was attentive and friendly. All food items were delicious, delectable with flavorfull spices and fresh farm to table ingredients. The best dining experience in Healdsburg.

The restaurant had a different, maybe a "cooler" vibe to it. The service was just excellent, and the offerings were different, and arguably better than that of "regular" Hispanic restaurant. The Margarita's were excellent. There was a nice bar scene as well. BTW, the chair I had at our table was as comfortable as any I had ever sat in. A nicely done new stop for us in Healdsburg.
