The service was very friendly! The food was just okay though. I got the combination #5 plate which is breaded fish & shrimp, an egg roll, rice, and side salad: nothing on the plate was bad, but it all lacked flavor for me except for the egg roll. My mom got the salmon bathed in a seafood cream/gravy and she really enjoyed it. read more

Got all food very quickly, chicken fajitas were steaming and decent. The #1 combo was good. The fish was really good. Wish there was some better sauce to go with it. Shrimp was really good in the #1 combo. read more

This place is okay for Mexican food but it I think in this area it's busy because this is what the people in the area like. The chips they bring to the table had this weird after taste that made them taste processed. Not that dress. We ordered a dozen oysters and they were pretty good but they weren't washed properly so some of them had sand on them. The mojarra frita was cooked perfectly but did lack a little flavor. It did come with some fried rice though that was kind of like Chinese fried rice but still good. It's pretty loud in here but they did have mariachis and that was actually very nice to have during dinner. read more

I really liked my shrimp and fish tacos. Delicious. There was a slight language barrier, and my order wasn't completely right. However, the food was extremely good. read more

Ostioneria Arandas - Front counter. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Terrible service! First time visiting this establishment in our area. Had been to the old location which was 100x better than this. Our waitress had an attitude from the get go, should have left... she took our orders and never came back to check on us after bringing out our food and they weren't even busy. The fried rice was cold and I had to ask for it to be reheated. Second serving was warmer. No refills offered and barely received a to go container only because we tracked down another waitress. Definitely not recommended and will not be returning. The old place had way better service and quality of everything. The ambiance here is quiet and pretty but don't let that fool you. I didn't care for the food but that's just me. I ordered combo #6. 2 stars only because the place is pretty inside and plenty of lit parking area. No pictures of food because it wasn't worth it. read more

The food was basic nothing special the restaurant was just off the highway in front of the hotels we are at.... But to list market price for oysters is crazy knowing the average cost of oyster up and down the coast... 6 for 20.10 is insane. Please do not order those here even though they are listed as a "seafood restaurant"... save your money! I'm curious how many got bamboozled buy them and just paid it. read more

The food was fantastic. Thin cut fish filets fried to perfection. Butterflied shrimp that were delicious. Their tartar sauce is delicious as well. The service was quick and attentive. Overall great experience! It was so good, I went back two nights back to back and will probably be back on Friday/ read more

Awesome service Great octopus everyone who enjoys Acapulco style should come here! Nice staff. read more

People here are over the top nice. So many people came to ask me how I was doing that when it came to pay I totally forgot who the server with my ticket was. Ordered one of the combos of fried fish and shrimp. Totally delicious with the tartar sauce. Portion definitely big enough for 2 so I'd bring a friend and order an appetizer along with a plate to share. I saw the seafood habanero combo after I ordered or I would have definitely tried that. The server can take your credit card BTW so you don't have to wait at the cashier line taking takeout orders... read more

Ostioneria Arandas - Fried fish and shrimp combo - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

We decided to eat here because it was close to our hotel and the front desk associate was eating good from here and it smelled yummy! I got the shrimp ceviche tostada, and a beef taco. The taco was the winner! So much so that i went back the next day and ordered another one for lunch! So flavorful and delicious but so simple! The shrimp ceviche tostada lacked flavor. It was just all one note and needed something to pizzazz it up! My brother had a shrimp quesadilla. He said it was good. My sister had a chicken, beef and chicken quesadilla and also ordered a side of fried rice. She said her food was good but the fried rice was dry. My son had the chicken nuggets and fries. read more

This is a very new location, clean and still very crispy fresh decor. K, let's talk about da food they serve. It's a Acapulco type seafood restaurant that uses a spicy sauce or naked seafood freshness to all things from the sea. I tried the fish ceviche chalupa and that in itself was a meal, lots of fish and veggies pilled on a crispy tortilla. I did a large bowl of seafood soup and it came with octopus which I should have said no to cause I don't like it that way. Soup was clean and fresh not fishy tasting broth was very good. The service is excellent and very quick next time I'm doing raw oysters and maybe a whole steamed fish. read more

If you find yourself at the Best Western or Hampton on the East Freeway, as I did tonight, consider eating here. Why? A. REALLY good food. I had filete de Huachinango, which is fried snapper. Man that was good. It was four or five pan-fried filets served in a delicious red sauce. B. Nice service C. Live music on a Thursday for about four songs. D. A room full of families clearly enjoying one another (and the food) E. Ice cold Pacifico beer read more

This is the first time we tried the new location on i10 and it was bad. For starters there's no waiting list, just a semi rude security guard. You have to make a line outside the place. The michelada has no ice. There was no soap in the restroom nor napkins.. like it was completely empty (u know the automatic ones that require a soap bag). Makes me wonder what employees are washing their hands with.. or IF they're washing their hands at all. It also smells like sewer in there. Several of sides were missing from our orders too. Oh and we had to go up there to ask for napkins. We never had any issues at the old location.. I'm not sure if it's a lack of employees or if they're all new and learning but it's been open for awhile... Anyhow, I don't recommend it much. read more

Me encanta la comida,mi favorito el filete de pescado empanizado y muy buena porción.El servicio es muy bueno también y tienen muy limpio y organizado el lugar. read more

Muy rica la comida , Paola fue nuestra mesera muy amable y nos sirvió muy rápido todo, muy satisfecha!

Got the unseasoned shrimp ceviche tostadas, when I asked to return the plate the waitress was rude and said no and that the manager would say the same as to what she was telling us. The manager never came to speak to us, the waitress just told us we couldn't exchange the food, when I told her we would leave and just pay the food she started trying to be nice and tell us we can take it to go and tell us how to prepare the leftovers at home. I said no thank you and left. Don't know what was worse the customer service or the food. Don't recommend coming here. read more

The food is good serves okay. The restaurant should have a sing saying to wait outside into someone let's yuo know to come in no a f#cking security that was at the door rude. They shouldn't have rude person. And the parking spot is really bad. read more

I love this place I usually go every Sunday. My 2 favorite dishes are Caldo de Mariscos extra spicy y Camarones a la Diabla. If it's your first time there totally recommend getting one of those 2. read more

If I could give negative starts I would.. I went here last night and it is the worst. Bad food and bad service. The restroom smells terrible like sewage and that should have been my first clue to get the hell out of there. We were eating and all of a sudden we saw a roach crawling on our table and almost went into my friend's plate. He killed it and of course we were so disgusted and did not finish our food. when we brought it to the waitress attention she was not apologetic and made excuses and said she was sure the roach was not on anything that she brought out from the kitchen as if that made it better. She also mentioned that another customer also found a roach on her table and it was probably due to recent fumigation in the restauran. I pointed out that we could not finish eating our food and she could not care less or offer any kind of solution. I asked for the manager but she said he was not there and kinda threw them under the bus blaming them for what happened. I will never be back.!!! I'm still very disgusted and mad about this whole experience!! read more

Management is terrible. Purchased a meal for $33.51 and put tip of $6.49 which equated to $40.00 as stated on my total. Charge applied to credit card was $42.00. Thought this may be a typo so called the restaurant for clarification. Began to politely explain the situation and was hung up on. Gave them the benefit of doubt so called back, got same response - hung up on me again. $2.00 doesn't seem like much, but giving these yahoos the benefit of honesty & atonement proves to be too much. The 1 star is only because must make a selection of 1-5 stars, not 0 stars. read more

Incredible. Hands down the most delicious, down home Mexican seafood spot out there. Oysters are juicy and flavorful, the mojarra fish was meaty and delightful. Micheladas are on point too. Can't wait to come back. read more

Stopped by to try this place out. Took 30 mins to get my food which was fine but when I got it I was expecting it to be freshly fried. It tasted like it sat under a heating lamp for an hour and then served. Wasn't impressed at all. Mambos serves better seafood down the street. read more

I have no idea why they have some good reviews, But I can tell you the place was dirty, even the menus were all greasy. We had the cocktail "Vuelve a la Vida" and "Caldo de camarón" and were not good at all. Mambos and Connie's are way better than this place. read more

Stayed next door at The Best Western, so it's walking distance. Went twice in a 5 hour span. That's how good it was. First time I went, I had the tostadas. Shrimp and octopus. Delicious. So came back like around 9:30 pm had me 2 micheladas n a caldo de mariscos. Mmmmm. And the waitress are super nice n yes they are very beautiful ladies. But I love it and I'm going back today. read more

THE BEST SPOT EVER! My family and have been coming here for years. Never had a bad meal or experience at this location. Everything I've ever had or tried from anyone else's plate has always been amazing! It's inexpensive & they serve tostadas with a green salsa and pickled purple onions. They also have good beer selection and super sweet waitresses. They have fresh seafood plates, crispy fried ones, & savory caldos too. You'll never go wrong at Ostioneria Arandas read more

I wish I could give this place more starts but I just can't! Being From Los Angeles CA! I'm a big seafood eater! This place just didn't cut it! I got 2 tostadas de Cameron, no flavor what so ever! Super dry it was like they just boiled baby shrimp and didn't put once glimpse of anything SUPER DRY AND FLAVORLESS! Sucks I had high hopes for this place! Oh well read more

I saw the reviews it seem like a legit place I came for vacations here but.. food was not all that good like the reviews say. I got some camarones ala diabla it wasn't hot at all in had few shrimp on the plate. read more

Oh My Goodness! This was such a wonderful find. Fantastic service! Excellent food! More than reasonable prices. We were staying at the Best Western west of this and walked to it about 1/2 block. The menu is in Spanish with English sub titles (thank goodness because we are language challenged). This is seafood family restaurant wonderful fresh cooked food. As we were going out the door (8pm Saturday night) the mariachi group was entering (darn I would have liked to hear them), The restaurant was packed with people enjoying wonderful food and each others company. If you are lucky enough to live in Huston or be driving through or visiting I would say take a chance and enjoy some wonderfully cooked food. We had red snapper grilled comes whole (meaning full body)or fillet, onions, green pepper, fries, rice, salad, shrimp cocktail was wonderful the small was, to me large, can't imagine what the large was. The guacamole was really tasty. I really enjoyed the food here. read more
