Good, but could be better. A few things to level up the food:- Taquitos should be made with corn tortillas- Guacamole needed more flavor- Offer horchata and/or agua frescas

A super cute taco shop to satisfy your cravings. You can't find an $8 margarita anywhere that gets its job done unless you're at Araceli's Cocina. I love how the restaurant is clean and the staff were kind. I wasn't a fan of the veggie tacos as I thought they were bland and unseasoned, but I'm assuming that the meat options are better because it was very busy during the evening. Cute back patio, too.

Yeah, it’s that good. I’m trouble because my wife and I live just up the road from this place!

My kids love this place. It has the most kid friendly taco selection you can ask for. However, as an adult who loves street tacos, this place is a little below average. Not a lot of flavor, but at least the service is great, as well as the location and vibes.

Excellent. Reminded me of small time taco windows in Texas in all the best ways. Fantastic food, spectacular salsas - go here. I also greatly appreciated an outdoor seating area that was heated. It was pleasant to sit on a Sherwood corner and eat in comfort even in December.

We were not impressed. Any Mexican food restaurant that doesn't give you complimentary chips and salsa is a let down. The food was plain and not very flavorful.

The food here is awesome. Everything is delicious. The habanero hot sauce is a must try if you are into spice. Come here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and you will not be disappointed. Definitely recommend stopping by whenever you are in Sherwood.

This little corner restaurant is so cute. They provided amazing service with great food. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area.
From a charming corner of Old Town Sherwood, a bright new star has risen on our local culinary horizon - Araceli's Cocina. This delightful Mexican cafe, nestled amidst Sherwood's own Memorial Park and boutique shops, is more than just a restaurant; it's a vibrant celebration of flavors, community, and heartwarming hospitality. As a local food enthusiast, I've had the pleasure of dining at Araceli's both indoors and outdoors. The exterior dining area, accommodating about 45 guests, is a picturesque haven, perfect for savoring meals under the sky. On the other hand, the interior, with seating for around 14, offers a cozy, clean, intimate dining experience. The menu at Araceli's is a testament to the rich culinary heritage from South of the US borders. On my recent visit, I indulged in their Al Pastor tacos - a symphony of smokey, sweet roast pork topped with broiled pineapples, a stunningly simple combination that just works. What sets Araceli's apart is not just its delectable cuisine but also its remarkable service. The staff's warmth and friendliness make every visit memorable. The family-owned nature of the restaurant shines through in their genuine care for guests, making you feel like part of their family. Their commitment to quality is evident in every dish. The Chili Verde tacos, a personal favorite, were a culinary revelation - tender, juicy meat perfectly spiced, paired with soft, supple tacos. Vegetarian options like the Veggie sweet potato and poblano tacos are a nod to the diverse tastes they cater to, ensuring every guest finds something to relish. Araceli's Cocina stands as a beacon of gastronomic excellence in Sherwood. Its addition to the local dining scene is not just welcomed; it's celebrated. As for the naysayers, I urge them to taste and experience the magic of Araceli's themselves. This isn't just another Mexican restaurant; it's a famile culinary journey worth taking. Araceli's Cocina is a gem that deserves every accolade. Its fusion of authentic flavors, heartwarming ambiance, and impeccable service makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience. As a resident and a fervent supporter of local businesses, I am proud to have Araceli's in our community. Here's to many more delightful meals at this wonderful establishment!

NOT good authentic Mexican food. Decent food, you can finish it but it lacks flavor. I got a burrito with hardly any beans, chicken was flavorless, 2-3 lettuce leaves and no cheese or any sauce… just plain. Sooo much rice.

We love Araceli's . Great add to Sherwood and local spot for quick dining. The food is quality, fessh ingredients. Recommend the carne (steak) tacos and birria tacos. Chips and salsa are great. Oh, yes, and if dining in, get their margaritas. Well done.Cost is reasonable, and very good quality.

I'm visiting from San Diego, so my standards for breakfast burritos are pretty high... I have to say, the Machaca burrito was amazing and comparable to anything down in SD! Will definitely be coming back here every time I visit
