    The customer service was adequate, though not exceptional. I did note that my drink was not refilled at any point. My super burrito, however, was delicious. I recommend giving this establishment a try.

    Desayuno Arandas - chilaquiles with green sauce and chicken breast. The eggs are an add on.
    Suzan R.

    I just had the most exceptional chilaquiles, with chicken, and two over easy eggs with refried beans. I may never have breakfast anywhere else again. This is Desayuno Arandas con pechuga de pollo y salsa verde - Arandas breakfast with chicken breast and green sauce. Also available with red sauce and/or fajita steak. The eggs are an add on and how I have always eaten chilaquiles. This makes for a ton of food and I eagerly look forward to eating the leftovers the next day because they are nearly as good as fresh made. Only want chilaquiles? That's a menu item, too, and comes with a side of refried beans. What are chilaquiles? Hand cut tortilla chips lightly fried and then sautéed in either red or green sauce topped with cheese and crema (sour cream). When made correctly, they are divine. At Taqueria Arandas they are divine.

    #6 Enchiladas Plate

    Ate here while in town on the recommendation of Jeremy Pena. Well, really because he heavily advertises for them during Astros games. With locations around the Houston area, this is the lone outfit here in north Texas. From the outside it looks like just what it is - a Mexican restaurant with what appears to be a largely Hispanic clientele. The lavish menu in Spanish with English translations almost an afterthought. There is casual seating and Telemundo on various screens. It also appears to have a well stocked bar and outdoor seating. Prices were reasonable. Service was friendly, efficient, and non obtrusive. At one pm on a Thursday the place was not busy but also not empty. My friend and I decided to each try the #6 enchilada plate. She got the chicken with verde sauce. I got the beef with red sauce. Both came with generous portions of rice and retried beans. The beans were on the wet side and very tasty. The rice was also good though a bit subdued. A small green salad graced each plat as well as three enchiladas covered with cheese. Her chicken was well seasoned. My beef was also good - small chunks of diced beef. The meal also came with the usual chips and salsas. The red salsa was tasty and garlicky. A green sauce came in a yellow squeeze bottle with a kick that lingered. Yum. The iced tea came in a glass big enough to share. But I don't. Taqueria Arandas is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. My only regret is that it's just too far from home to patronize regularly. But if they ever open an East Dallas location I'll be there regularly. Well done Taqueria Arandas, well done. And thanks, Jeremy. Go Str

    Just so we get this out up front: I LOVE TAQUERIA ARANDAS!! I have been to I don't know how many outposts of this Houston chain, but the fam knows we will eat there once on each trip to Houstopolis. I had thought that my closest TaqA was in Waco - WRONG!!! I tripped over this one in Irving today - I had no idea this was here!! So - whats's for lunch? Yeah, duh. We started with the house-made fresh chips and uncooked salsa - those chips are like crack. One you start, you can't stop. Salsa is always delicious and made fresh daily. I got the new Alambres Norteno, a mix of ham, carne asada, puerco al pastor, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and melted white cheese, served with flour or corn (get corn) tortillas, pico de gallo and fresh guacamole- MUY DELICIOSO!! Yanquis may want to watch out for the pico - they use Serrano chiles, not jalapeños, so the pico may be A LOT hotter than you expect. My husband got the Torta de Pollo Guisado, which was a soft bollillo stuffed with a lot of tender stewed chicken, topped with sliced avocado and sour cream. He loved it! This place is gonna be happening for the World Cup, and is also Cowboys Football obsessed. Unlike any other TaqA I have been in, this one has a separate full bar and outdoor all seating as well. Bring your friends on game day! :) The building is hard-used, but the bathrooms are clean and updated, plus the food is as delicious as I remember. Service is fast and friendly, food impeccably fresh. 5 I'll see you at Taqueria Arandas IN! NORTH! TEXAS!!!! Stars

    The food was good but smaller than advertised. The queso was cold upon arrival to our table. The margaritas were good as well. Would I dine here again? No, but that's my personal preference.

    Always get the crispy beef tacos. Love it's simplicity and don't forget the green sauce people. :-)

    Always a stop when I'm in the neighborhood. I've been hitting this spot since the early 2000's. No frills straight to the point Tex mex food. Great service, the place might be a little out dated but it has a special place in my soul. Lol Place looked empty due to the 183 construction in front of the place.

    Tacos carne asada
    Nick B.

    I'm from Southern CA and have lived in TX for about 5 years now. I have traveled to AZ, NM, the southest borders you can think of in the US. This is by far, THE BEST tacos I have ever had in my life. No overexaggeration, the meat is so tender and flavorful...nothing I have ever had or can compare to. All 3 dishes were 5/5 with compliments to the staff for their attentive and hospitable service; hats off y'all. That being said, I have found my new taqueria where I am going to take all my out of town friends and rave about this to everyone that craves Mexican food. Thank you, you just gained a loyal customer.

    Shrimp taco

    Food was fresh and delicious. My taco was Full of shrimp, they are not stingy ! Get it. You won't regret

    5 taquitos
    Anh L.

    One of my friend recommended this place for our group meet up. Service is friendly and fast, but the place is not the cleanest place. 5 TAQUITOS- corn tortillas with your choice of meat (beef and pork) served with grilled onion, grilled jalapeño, and charro beans The tacos tasted great and flavorful. The flavors are on point. It tasted simple, but authentic. I really liked the grilled onions because it added some sweetness and the jalapeños added a little heat. I'm usually not the biggest fan of beans, but the charro beans were savory. ENCHILADAS- three green enchiladas, cheese, and chicken served with rice and refried beans These were some flavorful enchiladas and they carried a nice creamy heat to them. The rice was cooked perfectly and added some texture to the savory beans. The chicken was a bit chewy, but the sauce added some great creamy flavor. The food was great and I promised to come back, but I gave 3 stars because after that meal, all my friends had stomachaches and the end result was not pretty. This was the only meal that we shared together so we ruled this as the reason why we felt ill. Perhaps it was an unclean day, but I don't hold a grudge because the food was still great and other reviews don't seem to have the same issue. I'll come back, but if I get sick again I won't be returning.

    Been a loyal customer of Via Real since the early 1990's…read more All of a sudden they decided to charge much more in taxes that I assume must partially be to offset what seemed like a nice "social hour" recently added. When we asked the manager about it, he didn't seem to know they changed this. 10/25/25 was 8.25% tax (including alcohol in the order). All recent bills were anywhere from 13% to 16.5% hidden in the "tax" line, not even itemized. I'm sure because they know most won't realize it. This may explain why on a Friday at 5pm (even with a social hour) the bar was empty except for one other couple. Not going to reduce the stars since I like many of the long-timers that work here, but whoever is running the show now should probably re-examine their decisions. #WWFD

The menu leans Mexican fusion, with standout seafood and steak options across the board. One of my personal favorites is their sea bass special with pineapple reduction. It's beautifully balanced sweet, savory, and rich without being heavy and comes with perfectly cooked charred vegetables on the side. The drinks are excellent, especially the margaritas, which definitely lean on the stronger side, fair warning that one drink can feel like two. Save room for dessert too; they offer a solid selection of cakes and sweets that are a great way to close out the meal. Service is attentive and warm, and they also have private group dining rooms available, making it a great option for corporate events or holiday parties. Valet parking is available, but there's also plenty of convenient parking right next to the restaurant. Overall, Via Real is a reliable, elevated dining experience that still feels welcoming and rooted in tradition, a Las Colinas classic for a reason.

Lol But I also want to support this small restaurant and brag about literally how delicious everything is. From the empanadas that are cheesy and meaty you could eat as a meal alone, to all the flavors of each sauce they offer is exceptional. The poblano sauce is so good, I'd like to get a job in the kitchen for the recipe. We also asked for a side of the mole sauce just to try, it was smoky, sweet, and the right amount of spices. The tacos remind me of the tacos I get in Mexico with the grilled pineapple and picked onions. The salsa offered with the chips is warm and I love that. Will definitely be a go to restaurant for me.

I forgot to snap a picture but I'll list some things I tried: Empanadas- 10/10- a must order. Flavor, texture, and taste are all amazing. Molé enchiladas- the molé is so good- especially for Dallas since most places are Tex Mex and molé is more Mexican. Definitely order if this is in your "taste profile." Lunch specials- I don't even know if this is on their website but they have a great lunch menu and they have a lunch combo special where you can pick two items for $10.50 and it comes with rice and beans. I ordered the cheese enchilada and the mini chimichanga. Full disclosure I didn't eat the mini chimichanga because I didn't know it was covered in queso and I hate queso (unpopular opinion- I know). I loved the enchilada though and it had chili con carne sauce which was delicious. Rice and beans were also very good. Next time I'll just say no queso on the chimi. The restaurant is really tiny but cozy and you can tell it is family owned. Definitely will be a regular spot for me and will be back.

The manager also came and gave us free beef fajita samples since he found out it was our first time. The flavor and juiciness of the beef blew me away. My wife and I got queso to compliment the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa and bean dips. I was a big fan of the beans too, didn't think I would be. We ended up getting a trio (beef, chicken, shrimp) fajita 1/2 pound and it was perfect for the 2 of us. You can taste the grilled and charred flavor on the meats. The chicken and shrimp were slightly on the drier side but when combined with the sour cream, beans, guac, cheese, they were perfection. For the two people, the limitation ended up being more the toppings to the fajitas but it was just enough. At about $25 for 2, that was a steal. The queso was about $9. Right before we were about to leave, Kayla recommended the tres leches dessert and you know we had to try it. It was solid. Loved the cream on top. Definitely would come back again!

    On our way back from Asia, my husband and I had a stop through the DFW area and immediately decided…read morethat we needed to take advantage of being back near a region that really knows Mexican food. Living in Sioux Falls has many positives, but distinct and deeply flavorful Mexican cuisine is unfortunately still something that's a little harder to come by compared to places like Arizona or Texas. So, we made it a point to stop at Lupe Tortilla while passing through Irving. The first thing we noticed was how packed the restaurant was during lunch. People were pouring in steadily, and the atmosphere had that energetic local favorite feeling where you know people come because they genuinely enjoy the food. Thankfully, the meal itself delivered. Now, was it the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had? No. But it was still leagues beyond most of what we've experienced lately back home in South Dakota. The carne asada especially stood out. The portion was massive, tender, and packed with smoky, savory flavor. You could immediately tell it had actually spent some time on a grill instead of simply being rushed out of a kitchen. We also enjoyed the tacos, enchiladas, and burritos, all of which had that comforting Tex-Mex richness and seasoning that we've really missed. Unfortunately, we were on a fairly tight travel schedule and couldn't linger the way we would have liked. Honestly, this felt like the sort of place where you could easily sit awhile longer, enjoy another drink, sample more dishes, and just soak in the lively atmosphere. Still, even as a quick stop, it was a great experience and a delicious reminder of how much we miss the bold Mexican food culture of the Southwest.
